(2022全国甲卷,阅读理解D)——讨论悉尼在发展过程中是否摒弃一些旧传统
Sometime in the early1960s,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.

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.
正是港口造就了这座城市
分析:本句为主从复合句,主干为Shirley Fitzgerald told me,that引导宾语从句。the city's official historian是Shirley Fitzgerald的 语,对其补充说明。in its rush to modernity in the 1970s是介词短语作 语。
