(2022全国甲,D)
Sometime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discovered its harbor. Then, one after another, Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there—broad parks, superb beaches, and a culturally diverse population. But it is the harbor that makes the city.
Andrew Reynolds, a cheerful fellow in his early 30s, pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living. I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor. After our third run Andrew shut down the engine, and we went our separate ways—he for a lunch break, I to explore the city.
“I’ll miss these old boats,” he said as we parted.
“How do you mean ” I asked.
“Oh, they’re replacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they’re not so elegant, and they’re not fun to pilot. But that’s progress, I guess.”
Everywhere in Sydney these days, change and progress are the watchwords(口号), and traditions are increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city’s official historian, told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much of its past, including many of its finest buildings. “Sydney is confused about itself,” she said. “We can’t seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one. It’s a conflict that we aren’t getting any better at resolving(解决).”
On the other hand, being young and old at the same time has its attractions. I considered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony. “Many people say that we lack culture in this country,” he told me. “What people forget is that the Italians, when they came to Australia, brought 2000 years of their culture, the Greeks some 3000 years, and the Chinese more still. We’ve got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country. It’s a pretty hard combination to beat.”
He is right, but I can’t help wishing they would keep those old ferries.

◎语篇解读 这是一篇议论文。文章以悉尼为例,论述了不同身份的人对于城市发展中传统与现代冲突的看法。
1.C 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的关键信息“The city discovered its harbor...lots of things...But it is the harbor that makes the city.”可知,本段主要列举了悉尼在20世纪60年代早期获得发展的原因。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I’ll miss these old boats”和第五段中的“they’re replacing them with catamarans...but they’re not so elegant, and they’re not fun to pilot”可知,Andrew Reynolds对那些旧的渡船留恋不舍。由此推断他喜欢渡船。
3.A 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Sydney swept aside much of its past...”可知,Shirley Fitzgerald认为悉尼在城市发展中失去了很多传统的东西。A项中的losing its traditions与“swept aside much of its past”意义一致。
4.A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“being young and old at the same time has its attractions” “We’ve got a foundation...It’s a pretty hard combination to beat.”和最后一段中的“I can’t help wishing they would keep those old ferries”可综合推断作者认为在城市发展中可以做到传统与现代有机结合。
长难句 原句 What people forget is that the Italians, when they came to Australia, brought 2000 years of their culture, the Greeks some 3000 years, and the Chinese more still.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。“What people forget”是一个主语从句;is后是that引导的表语从句,其中“when they came to Australia”是when引导的时间状语从句。
译文 人们忘记的是,意大利人来到澳大利亚时带来了2,000年的文化,希腊人带来了大约3,000年的(文化),中国人(带来了)更多(的文化)。
