2021高考英语复习之高考真题阅读词块精析（三十四）2020江苏卷（B篇）Sometimes its hard to let go. For many British people, that can apply to institutions and objects that represent their countrys pastage-old castles, splendid homes and red phone boxes.Beaten first by the march of technology and lately by the terrible weather in junkyards (废品场), the phone boxes representative of an age are now making something of a comeback. Adapted in imaginative ways, many have reappeared on city streets and village greens housing tiny cafes, cellphone repair shops or even defibrillator machines (除颤器).The original iron boxes with the round roofs first appeared in 1926. They were designed by Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect of the Battersea Power Station in London. After becoming an important part of many British streets, the phone boxes began disappearing in the 1980s, with the rise of the mobile phone sending most of them away to the junkyards.About that time, Tony Inglis engineering and transport company got the job to remove phone boxes from the streets and sell them out. But Inglis ended up buying hundreds of them himself, with the idea of repairing and selling them. He said that he had heard the calls to preserve the boxes and had seen how some of them were listed as historic buildings.As Inglis and, later other businessmen, got to work, repurposed phone boxes began reappearing in cities and villages as people found new uses for them. Today, they are once again a familiar sight, playing roles that are often just as important for the community as their original purpose.In rural areas, where ambulances can take a relatively long time to arrive, the phone boxes have taken on a lifesaving role. Local organizations can adopt them for l pound, and install defibrillators to help in emergencies.Others also looked at the phone boxes and saw business opportunities. LoveFone, a company that advocates repairing cellphones rather than abandoning them, opened a mini workshop in a London phone box in 2016.The tiny shops made economic sense, according to Robert Kerr, a founder of LoveFone. He said that one of the boxes generated around $13,500 in revenue a month and cost only about $ 400 to rent.Inglis said phone boxes called to mind an age when things were built to last. "I like what they are to people, and I enjoy bringing things back," he said.词块梳理1：apply英pla 美plav. 申请；应用；适用；涂，敷；有关，涉及；努力；使全神贯注于；按，踩变形过去分词：applied现在分词：applying过去式：applied第三人称单数：applies双语例句1.Cancellation charges will apply in accordance with paragraph 4 above.按照上面第四节条款内容应该支付注销费.2.We should apply advanced experience according to local conditions and shouldnt apply it mechanically.对先进的经验我们应该因地制宜,不应生搬硬套.3.I want to apply for the job.我想申请这项工作.2：institution英nsttju:nz 美nsttjunzn. （大学、银行等规模大的）机构( institution的名词复数 )；建立；慈善机构；知名人士双语例句1.These large institutions make and changethe rules to suit themselves.这些大机构总是随意制定规定，而且说变就变。2.The countrys economic plight is strangling its scientific institutions.该国的经济困境阻碍了其科研机构的工作进展。3.Were trying to establish linkages between these groups and financial institutions.我们正努力在这些团体和金融机构之间建立联系。3：object英bjekts 美bjektsn. 物体( object的名词复数 )；目标；宾语；实体v. 不赞成( object的第三人称单数 )；抗议；拒绝接受；抱反感:双语例句1.In the cosy consulting room the children are surrounded by familiar objects.在温馨的诊疗室里，孩子们周围摆满了亲切熟悉的东西。2.Some objects had got entangled with the underneath mechanism of the engine.一些东西缠在了发动机下面的机件上。3.Workers scrambled to carry priceless objects out of harms way.工人们争先恐后地将价值连城的物品运到安全的地方。4：splendid英splendd 美splenddadj. 壮观的；极好的exclam. 好极了变形副词：splendidly:双语例句1.He got a splendid present for her.他送她一件极好的礼物.2.The nobles of Florence built splendid palaces.佛罗伦萨的贵族建造了许多雄伟的建筑物.3.He wrote a splendid polemic in my favour.他写了一篇出色的文章为我辩护.5：technology英teknldi 美teknldin. 科技；技术性机器变形形容词：technological副词：technologically复数：technologies:双语例句1.The rise of computer technology has transformed industry.计算机技术的兴起已经使工业为之改观.2.About 30 major medical centers in the United States have xenon CT scan technology.美国大约有30家主要医疗中心有氙气CT扫描仪技术.3.Science and technology are part of the productive forces.科学技术是生产力.6：representative英reprzenttv 美reprzenttvn. 代表；继任者；议员；类似物adj. 典型的；有代表性的；代议制的；相当类似（另一种属）的变形比较级：more representative最高级：most representative复数：representatives:双语例句1.He was the first representative to Japan.他是第一个驻日代表.2.We all voted for him as our representative.大家都推举他当代表.3.Experienced sales representative wanted.
