21、   Landscapes are not only the setting for history; they are also a major source of our sense of history and identity. Read them right, and historical landscapes can be more informative than any other kind of source. This is even more the case with sacred landscapes, which were reflection of our ancestors’ beliefs about their relation to the cosmos and can still today seem to hold a spiritual influence.

Over the years, I’ve had the good fortune to have spent time in many historical landscapes, hoping to picture something of the spirits of the people who shaped them over the centuries. I still remember years ago walking along the Inca sacred lines around Cusco, Peru. In this ancient landscape, old sites that once belonged to Incan royals had become torn Spanish mansions. Or many years ago, before the Gulf Wars, I took a journey through south Iraq, the heart land of civilization, where the desert is still crossed by dried-up riverbeds of the Euphrates and canals that once sustained the world’s first cities.

Britain also has its own magical ancient landscapes. From the Mesolithic to the Bronze and Iron Ages, rich layers of the past are still present in the landscape surrounding Stonehenge, even as traffic rushes down the A303. It is the A303 that is the problem. As the main road to the south west from the home counties, the road runs right past Stonehenge. One of humanity’s most famous monuments, Stonehenge is an archaeological landscape without parallel in Europe, and perhaps the world. The first circle at Stonehenge was made 5,000 years ago, and the great stone circle itself in a round 2,500 BC — the age of the pyramids! And the mysteries of this amazing monument and the complex prehistoric societies that produced it are by no means exhausted, as new discoveries continue to show.

All the more worrying to me then, this unique landscape is currently at the centre of a projected plan by Highways England, which aims to relieve congestion on the A303 by creating a four-lane road with a 1.8-mile tunnel, and an expressway interchange 1.5 miles to the west. While the National Trust and English Heritage have offered qualified support for the plan, UNESCO has expressed its opposition. Meanwhile, the Stonehenge Alliance, a group of archaeologists and environmental campaigners, says the plan is based on inadequate and obsolete information. In the end, the argument is about the totality of an ancient landscape, and that includes the ancient astronomical alignment that was purposefully chosen by our ancestors, and that will, in my view, be wrecked by the expressway interchange. Time perhaps for a rethink in the name of future generations?

【1】What can historical landscapes offer us?

A.Details of ancient lifestyle. B.Sacred writings

C.Rich historical information D.Breathtaking sights.

【2】What did the author want to explore when touring historical landscapes?

A.Different architecture. B.His sense of belonging.

B.New discoveries have solved the mysteries of the monument.

C.The ancient monument must have been the heart land of civilization.

D.The landscape surrounding Stonehenge has rich layers of the present.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the projected plan by Highways England?

A.He is for it because it will benefit the future generations.

B.He keeps cool but believes a better solution could be adopted.

C.It should be stopped because it will destroy the totality of the monument.

D.It is rather practical especially with qualified support from the government.

23、   The magic of these book-lined buildings---libraries, really filled my childhood with delight. Parenthood helped me experience that joy again.

I was raised in the countryside of Cleveland, just a few blocks from the brick-faced library, Bertram Woods. I went there several times a week with my mother. She and I would walk in together, but as soon as we passed through the door, we each headed to our favorite section separately. We all valued books, but my parents believed that the reading of the book was a journey. There was no need for souvenirs. When I left for college, one of the many ways I made myself different from my parents was that I went wild for owning books. Buying textbooks was what got me going, but I lost my appreciation for the slow pace of making my way through a library and for having books on borrowed time.

I might have spent the rest of my life thinking about libraries in the way I thought about the amusement park I went to as a kid. And they might have become just a bookmark of memory, something that was mixed with “mother” and “the past” in my mind. That changed in 2011 when my son got his school homework---to interview someone who worked for the city. I suggested talking to a police officer, but he said he wanted to interview a librarian.

As we drove to meet the librarian, I was flooded by a sense of absolute familiarity and the memory of this journey, of parent and child on their way to the library. I had taken this trip so many times before, but now it was turned on its head, and I was the parent bringing my child on that special trip.

From the outside, the decoration of the library didn't look anything like the brick Bertram Woods branch, but when we stepped in, the thunderbolt of recognition struck me so hard that it made me out of breath. There was the same soft tsk-tsk-tsk of pencil on paper, and the murmuring from readers at the tables in the center of the room. It brought me close to my mother and our journey to the library.

At that moment, the spell that libraries had once cast on me was renewed. Maybe it had never really been broken, although I had been away long enough that it was like visiting a country I’d loved but had forgotten as my life went swiftly by.

【1】What can we know about the author’s parents?

A.They enjoyed the same favorite section in the library as the author.

B.They valued books and preferred to house them at home.

C.They held different views from the author towards buying books.

D.They loved buying books as souvenirs on their journey.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.The author immediately recognized the familiar outside decoration.

B.The thunder struck the author so severely that she felt sick.

C.The crowd of readers in the library made the air hard to breathe.

D.The library reminded the author of the fond memories in childhood.

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The sweet memories between the author and her family.

B.The influence parents have on children^ reading.

C.The rediscovery of the author’s love for the libraries.

D.The magic power libraries have on the author’s son.
