16、the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012
17、Pritzker Architecture Prize which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the u
18、niversity in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildin
19、gs perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its
20、mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).Wangs works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes trad
21、itions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. That is only evidence that traditions once existed, he said.Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing an
22、d that are still being created, he said.Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice.
23、Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.24Wangs winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are _.Afollowing the latest world trendBgetting international recognitionCworking harder than ever beforeDrelying on foreign architects25What impressed visitors t
24、o the CAA Xiangshan campus most?AIts hilly environment.BIts large size.CIts unique style.DIts diverse functions.26What made Wangs architectural design a success?AThe mixture of different shapes.BThe balance of East and West.CThe use of popular techniques.DThe harmony of old and new.27What should we
25、do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?ASpread them to the world.BPreserve them at museums.CTeach them in universities.DRecreate them in practice.Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche we revere (敬畏) them even
26、 as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.“Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range,” says bear biologist Chris Servheen.
27、 As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they havent been seen in a century or more, theyre increasingly being sighted by humans.The western half of the US was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1
28、970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the US. Their reco
29、very has been so successful that the US Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to delist grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.Obviously, if precautio
30、ns (预防) arent taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and
31、 other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,” says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.28How do Americans look at gri
32、zzlies?AThey cause mixed feelings in people.BThey should be kept in national parks.CThey are of high scientific value.DThey are a symbol of American culture.29What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?AThe European settlers behavior.BThe expansion of bears range.CThe protection by law s
33、ince 1975.DThe support of Native Americans.30What has stopped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service from delisting grizzlies?AThe opposition of conservation groups.BThe successful comeback of grizzlies.CThe voice of the biologists.DThe local farmers advocates.31What can be inferred from the last parag
34、raph?AFood should be provided for grizzlies.BPeople can live in harmony with grizzlies.CA special path should be built for grizzlies.DTechnology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarders Sophies World. It was full of ideas that were new to
35、 me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy (哲学).That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confuciu
36、s better than you and then try to explain them.Eric Weiners The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride
37、 between cities and then frames each philosophers work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about underst
38、anding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in hist
39、ory, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own interpretation.The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invit
40、ation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. Its worth your time, even if time is something we dont have a lot of.32Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?AFoucault.BEric Weiner.CJostein Gaarder.DA college teach
41、er.33Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4?ATo compare Weiner with them.BTo give examples of great works.CTo praise their writing skills.DTo help readers understand Weiners book.34What does the author like about The Socrates Express?AIts views on history are well-presented.BIts
42、ideas can be applied to daily life.CIt includes comments from readers.DIt leaves an open ending.35What does the author think of Weiners book?AObjective and plain.BDaring and ambitious.CSerious and hard to follow.DHumorous and straightforward.I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my chi
43、ldren would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. 36 Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our p
44、urpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. 37 And when writing doesnt seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it. Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with ot
45、hers through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. 38 You write “Dear Santa” because you dont know him personally and you want to show him respect. 39 Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all me
46、an that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time. There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. 40 This type of writing
47、 wont be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience.AIt isnt that these young people cant write.BBut it is always purposeful-or at least it should be.CThe age of pen-and-paper letter writi
