第一编　专题一　考点2‎ A ‎(2018·全国Ⅲ，C)‎ While famous foreign architects are invited to lead 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 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 university 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 buildings 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 mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements (元素).‎ Wang’s 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 traditions 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 and 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.Otherwise，the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty，he said.‎ 文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文，题材是人物报道。文章报道了2012年度建筑界的最高奖项——普利兹克奖的获得者王澍及其作品的风格和他对建筑艺术创新的体会。‎ ‎❶　Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are __B__.‎ A．following the latest world trend B．getting international recognition C．working harder than ever before D．relying on foreign architects 解析：推理判断题。第一段是文章的中心段，第二段讲述了中国建筑设计师获得了建筑界的诺贝尔奖——普利兹克奖，这个例子是用来说明第一段后半句的：许多优秀的中国建筑设计师正进入世界建筑设计舞台的中心，故选B。‎ ‎❷　What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most？ __C__‎ A．Its hilly environment. B．Its large size.‎ C．Its unique style. D．Its diverse functions.‎ 解析：细节理解题。根据题干中关键词CAA Xiangshan campus可迅速定位到第三段，顺着往下找，根据第四段第一句中的quite different from，第二句中的were amazed 和第三句中的unique view可知它独一无二的风格给人留下了深刻印象，故选C。‎ ‎❸　What made Wang’s architectural design a success？ __D__‎ A．The mixture of different shapes. B．The balance of East and West.‎ C．The use of popular techniques. D．The harmony of old and new.‎ 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第三句“This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements.”和第六段第二句中的through such a balance，he had created a new type of Chinese architecture可知传统与现代元素的和谐共存是王澍建筑设计成功的秘密，故选D。‎ ‎❹　What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang？ __D__‎ A．Spread them to the world. B．Preserve them at museums.‎ C．Teach them in universities. D．Recreate them in practice.‎ 解析：观点态度题。根据文章最后一段第一句中be combined with practice和第二句中the recreation of traditions可知，王澍认为应该结合实践对传统进行再创新，故选D。‎ B ‎(2018·天津，B)‎ When I was 17，I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay，once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay.She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death.On a sunny Saturday，Sally and I drove over to the museum.She asked，“Do you have the address？”“No，but I’ll recognize it，there was a picture in the magazine.”‎ ‎“Oh，stop.There it is！”‎ The museum was free.We entered，excited.A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.‎ ‎“May I help you？” a man asked.“No，” I said.“We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves.What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in？Sally had gone upstairs.The people in the hall seemed very nosy (爱窥探的)，keeping their eyes on me with curiosity.What was their problem？I saw some nice sculptures in one room.Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me.“Where do you think you are？” he asked.I turned sharply.“The McNay Art Museum！” He smiled，shaking his head.“Sorry，the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place？” I asked，still confused.“Well，it’s our home.”My heart jolted (震颤).I raced to the staircase and called out，“Sally！Come down immediately！”‎ ‎“There’s some really good stuff (艺术作品) up there.” She stepped down，looking confused.I pushed her toward the front door，waving at the family，saying，“Sorry，please forgive us，you have a really nice place.” Outside，when I told Sally what happened，she covered her mouth，laughing.She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.‎ The real McNay was splendid，but we felt nervous the whole time we were there.Van Gogh，Picasso.This time，we stayed together，in case anything else unusual happened.‎ Thirty years later，a woman approached me in a public place.“Excuse me，did you ever enter a residence，long ago，thinking it was the McNay Museum？”‎ ‎“Yes.But how do you know？We never told anyone.”‎ ‎“That was my home.I was a teenager sitting in the hall.Before you came over，I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in.I never felt lucky before.You thought it was a museum.My feelings about my home changed after that.I’ve always wanted to thank you.”‎ 文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。如果你误把一户人家当成博物馆且四处参观，会是怎样一种奇特的经历呢？让我们读一下文章，看一看作者的亲身体验吧。‎ ‎❺　What do we know about Marian McNay？ __A__‎ A．She was a painter. B．She was a community leader.‎ C．She was a museum director. D．She was a journalist.‎ 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的watercolorist(水彩画家)以及下文“去博物馆看画”知，Marian McNay是一位painter (画家)，故答案为A。‎ a community leader“社区领导”；a museum director“博物馆主管”；a journalist“记者”。‎ ‎❻　Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house？ __D__‎ A．She disliked people who were nosy.‎ B．She felt nervous when talking to strangers.‎ C．She knew more about art than the man.‎ D．She mistook him for a tour guide.‎ 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Tour guides got on my nerves.(导游令我烦扰)”知，“我”把那个人误认为是导游了，故答案为D。A项“她不喜欢爱窥探的人”，曲解文意；B项“与陌生人交谈时她感到紧张”，无中生有；C项“她比那个人更懂艺术”，无中生有。‎ ‎❼　How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall？ __A__‎ A．Puzzled. B．Concerned.‎ C．Frightened. D．Delighted.‎ 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“我”被那些人盯着时的疑惑“What was their problem？”及后文中的still confused可知，“我”感到很困惑(puzzled)，故答案为A。‎ ‎❽　Why did the author describe the real McNay museum in just a few words？ __D__‎ A．The real museum lacked enough artwork to interest her.‎ B．She was too upset to spend much time at the real museum.‎ C．The McNay was disappointing compared with the house.‎ D．The event happening in the house was more significant.‎ 解析：推理判断题。下文提到30年后“我”偶遇那户人家的一个孩子，她说“我”把她家误认为博物馆使她看到了它的美丽，由此可知，本文作者不是重点描述McNay博物馆，而是描述这次突发事件带来的影响，故答案为D “房子里发生的事更重要”。‎ ‎❾　What could we learn from the last paragraph？ __C__‎ A．People should have good taste to enjoy life.‎ B．People should spend more time with their family.‎ C．People tend to be blind to the beauty around them.‎ D．People tend to educate teenagers at a museum.‎ 解析：推理判断题。从最后一段中那个女士的话“在你进来之前，我从未意识到我住的是个美丽的地方，我以前从未感到过幸运”可推知，人们往往会忽视自己周围事物的美。‎
