are they just a waste of space? There are arguments for and against spending money on historic buildings.
Dangerous staircases. Uneven floors. A lack of IT infrastructure. The problem with many old buildings
is that they"re… old - and extremely expensive to modernize. Take the case of the Combination Room in Cambridge University. It was built in 1347 and was initially used for lectures. Later, it became the
Regent House - the university"s parliament. It"s of enormous historical value and cultural interest.
However, it doesn"t meet accessibility standards for disabled people. As a result, a lift needs to be
installed, but not everyone is happy about this. "Noting will persuade me that this lift would not in its effect, be a substantial alteration to the most precious room in the university. It would destroy the symmetry of
that beautiful room," said one user.
In general, modern buildings don"t have this type of problem. They can be built according to the latest
environment standards, with draught proofing and insulation to help reduce carbon emission and save
energy. They can also be made wheelchair accessible, and they can be designed to ensure maximum
comfort and space. Anyone who"s been to a modern cinema, theatre or concert hall recently may
understand the difference between the new buildings and older ones, which tend to have smaller seats, less space and poorer acoustics.
Very often, there"s money to be made by knocking down old building… especially if they"re in city
centers. So, the biggest threat to many historic buildings comes from developers. One of Croydon"s oldest pubs, The Rose and Crown, is a perfect example of this. A property development company has recently
been granted permission to convert the 18th century building into flats, much to the disappointment of
many local residents. "The bar is full of unique features and perfect examples of a traditional London pub.
It really would be truly tragic for this Grade II listed building to be turned into soulless flats," said a spokesperson for English heritage.
So, are these buildings really worth preserving? "Traditional buildings such as churches, town halls, schools and hospitals give England its character," the spokesman added. "This is about guaranteeing the future of the past. It"s about making the past part of our future. This is why we exist."
B. The disabled
C. The young
D. The deaf
except that ________.
B. The lift would do harm to the symmetrical beauty.
C. The lift would not come into use at all.
D. It"s rich in historical value and cultural interest.
B. installation of IT infrastructure
C. wheelchair accessibility
D. maximum comfort and space
our future. This is why we exist." in the last paragraph, the spokesman probably means ______.
past to enrich the future.
B. Traditional buildings stand for the past of the city so that we should be reminded of the past.
C. Traditional buildings are so precious that we should live in them to memorize the past.
D. Traditional buildings are so rare that we should make full use of them.
B. Combination Room, the treasure of Cambridge University
C. The threat to the old buildings
D. Old buildings, to preserve or not

A. Macau Museum
The Macau Museum is a historical and cultural museum with a vast number of objects of great historical
value, which demonstrates the way of life and cultures of the various communities which have been
inhabited the city for ages. The Macau Museum was opened on 18th April 1998, consisting of two
underground levels and a third one above the fortress" top platform where the old Meteorological
Services is housed. The architectural character and special configuration of the architecture has been
retained and preserved.
B. Maritime Museum
If the history of Macau is really connected to the sea, there is no better place for the Maritime Museum,
than the Square of the Barra Pagoda, dedicated to the Taoist goddess "A-MA", the protector of
fishermen, and also believed to be the place where the Portuguese first landed. The precise spot is where
the Maritime Museum is located, the building is in the shape of a sailing ship anchored in the waters of the
Inner Harbour.
C. Wine Museum
This 1400 square-metre space is divided into a number of areas (Historical information/Wine
Cellar/Museum and Exhibitions), using maps, texts, photos, tiles and videos, among other things to relate
the history of wine. The aim of each section is not only to provide information regarding wine and
grapevines, but also to recreate the atmosphere of the production of wine, showing the visitor the modern
and traditional tools connected to wine production.
D. Grand Prix Museum
Opened 1993 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Macau Grand Prix, which features a number of
automobile and motorbike races and takes place every year in November. It started in 1954 due to the
enthusiasm of a group of Macau residents and the support of the authorities. Today it is an international
sports event that attracts thousands of tourists and racing enthusiasts to Macau, to watch the classic
"Guia Race" and the "Formula 3 Grand Prix". As it takes place on a street circuit, which inevitably leads
to a comparison with Monte Carlo, the Macau Grand Prix has been developing into a race that, due to
the exactness and the need for precision which it imposes on the drivers, has had the participation of
great names of the motor racing participating and which has also served as a launching platform for many
other names, the visitor will certainly recognize while visiting the Grand Prix Museum.
E. Macau Museum of Art
Under the management of the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau, the Macau Museum of Art is the only
art museum in Macau, and provides the largest space dedicated to visual arts. It is situated in the Cultural Centre of Macau in the Outer Harbour area, and was inaugurated on 19 March 1999, with a total area
of more than 10,000 square meters and expositive capacity of almost 4,000 square meters. The artistic
works and cultural artifacts include Chinese Calligraphy and Paintings, Seals, Ceramics, Copperwares,
Western paintings, Contemporary Arts, Photography artworks, and other significant collections.
F. Handover Gifts Museum of Macau
The Handover Gifts Museum of Macau is located next to the Macau Cultural Centre in Avenida Xian
Xing Hai (NAPE). The location of the Museum is also the area that was used for the Handover
Ceremony on 20th December 1999 in which Macau was returned to the Mainland. When the hall was
dismantled after the ceremony the area became part of the Macau Cultural Centre. The Handover Gifts
Museum of Macau was opened December 2004. The main aim of the Museum is to commemorate the
handover for its significance in Macau"s modern history. The inauguration of the Museum on the 5th
anniversary of the handover is also indeed significant and momentous.
