有几百年历史的城镇，似乎距离我们很遥远， 但是仔细一想你脚下的这片热土早已饱经风霜，只是你没有意识到而已。本次考题的难度较为有限，首先城市发展与规划方面的话题算是较为常见。

　　同时本题的提问方式是非常简单的双提问的报告方式，因此对于有一定备考经历的考生而言，此题应该不会给大家造成什么障碍。

　　环球教育（原环球教育）颜王团杨亮老师以例题分析如下:

　　There are many towns and cities designed and constructed in previous centuries， and they are suitable for those times。 What problems are caused by this today? And how to solve these problems?

　　Visiting ancient towns and cities is seemingly thought as an significant part of people’s traveling plans， whereas talking about settling down there people surely will begin to doubt whether living there is possible and whether comfortable or not。

　　开头段还是一如既往地介绍背景和点题，由于本题的提问方式和以往的辩论型问题不同，因此本段的点题也略有变化。

　　这类报告文章通常情况下在开头段不会清晰阐述笔者的立场。

　　Eventually， residents in old towns and cities built and planned long time ago are confronted with quite a number of problems。 To begin with， narrow streets there were designed before modern transports’ popularity， leading to the fact that an efficient public transport system cannot be applied。 In addition， pipelines for natural gas and heating system， two considerably important social services for modern lifestyle， cannot be in harmony with constructions built hundreds of years ago。 Metropolis in history are usually horizontal ones without any high-rise buildings， and thus relatively smaller population is able to be accommodated there， which is absolutely against urbanization regarded as main task for most of governments worldwide。

　　本段内容只针对问题一，用排比的形式提出了现如今居住在古城里面的居民正在面临什么问题。本段罗列了三个主要问题，在真实考试中为了篇幅的控制通常两个问题即可满足篇幅要求。

　　It seems easy that governments can utilize modern technology to modify old towns and cities for providing local people with much more comfortable living conditions。

　　Rebuilding like this， nevertheless， definitely ruins what our ancestors left us。

　　Instead， governments should make every effort to preserve old towns and cities，and strictly control the population of who are willing to accept ancient lifestyle and settle down there。 Adjacent to old towns and cities， modern cities should be planned by governments where residents can share more social resource and enjoy more convenience brought by usage of high-tech in our daily life。 Only by this way， can those cultural heritages be protected perfectly。

　　自然而然地，本段重点回答题干的第二个问题，即解决方案。只不过在观点方面，笔者坚持了新城市的建设才是解决问题的关键，而任何对于古城的改造都是破坏。

　　Reforming old towns and cities with a couple of hundred years' history is completely an unwise decision。 Meanwhile， as for who like to enjoy a modern，comfortable and convenient lifestyle， moving out of old places seems like the only solution。

　　结尾段笔者将两个问题有机结合，一同总结。
