Pei, the ChineseAmerican, who was regarded as one of the last great modernist architects, has died at the age of 102. Although he worked mostly in the United States, Pei will always be remembered for a European project: His redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s. He gave us the glass and metal pyramid in the main courtyard, along with three smaller pyramids and a vast subterranean (地下的) addition to the museum entrance. Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history, and initially his designs were fiercely opposed. But in the end, the French—and everyone else—were won over. Winning the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he was thought as giving the 20th century some of its most beautiful inside spaces and outside forms … His talent and skill in the use of materials approach the level of poetry. After studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, Pei set up his own architectural practice in New York in 1955. Designing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library amp。 Museum in 1964 established him as a name. His East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1978 changed people39。s ideas of a museum. The site was an odd trapezoid (梯形) shape. Pei39。s solution was to cut it in two. The resulting building was dramatic, light and elegant—one of the first crowdpleasing cathedrals of modern art. Though known as a modernist, and notable for his forms based on arrangements of simple geometric (幾何的) shapes, he once urged Chinese architects to look more to their architectural tradition rather than designing in a western style. In person, . Pei was goodhumored, charming and unusually modest. His working process was evolutionary, but innovation (創(chuàng)新) was never an intended goal. Stylistic originality is not my purpose, he said. I want to find the originality in the time, the place and the problem.(1)What can we learn about the result of redevelopment of the Louvre Museum?

But in the end, the French—and everyone else—were won over. ”貝聿銘是盧浮宮悠久歷史上的第一位外國建筑師,最初他的設計遭到強烈反對。但最終,法國人,以及全世界,都被(他的精妙設計所)折服。從而可以推測,羅浮宮博物館重建非常成功。故選B。 (2)考查句義猜測。根據(jù)第三段中的“His talent and skill in the use of materials approach the level of poetry.”中的關鍵詞talent and skill和the use of materials可知,此句字面含義為:他在使用(建筑)材料方面的才華和技藝達到了詩一般的境界,即他是應用材料方面的專家。故選A。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“After studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, Pei set up his own architectural practice in New York in ,1955年,貝聿銘在麻省理工學院和哈佛大學學習建筑學;第五段中的“Designing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library amp。 Museum in 1964 established him as a name. ”1964年,貝聿銘設計了約翰肯尼迪總統(tǒng)圖書館和博物館;“His East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1978 changed people39。s ideas of a museum.” 1978年設計了華盛頓國家美術館東館;第三段中的“Winning the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he was thought as giving the 20th century ‘some of its most beautiful inside spaces and outside forms …”貝聿銘于1983年獲得普利茲克建筑獎。故選B。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第六段中的“Though known as a modernist, and notable for his forms based on arrangements of simple geometric (幾何的) shapes, he once urged Chinese architects to look more to their architectural tradition rather than designing in a western style.”可知,貝聿銘設計的建筑物基于簡單幾何形狀排列的形式而聞名,從而推斷出,他喜歡簡單的幾何形狀。故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,句義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查,是一篇人物類閱讀,要求考生準確捕捉細節(jié)信息,結(jié)合上下文的邏輯關系,進行分析,推理,從而選出正確答案。8.閱讀短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。 If you feel sick or unfortable, you might seek out a doctor. But what to do if you don39。t quite know where you fit into this world and you39。re tired of carrying that burden alone? I answered strangers39。 questions on life puzzles at the entrance to the New York City subway at 57th and 8th. A group of strangers had stopped by because they were carrying around some deep, meaningful questions that had long gone unanswered, like why can39。t I be happier in my life? And then I spotted her, who would be my toughest questioner of the day. She was about 6 years old and held her mother39。s hand as she craned (伸長脖子) her neck to stare at us. Her mother stopped, but the girl hesitated. It39。s OK, I offered. Do you have a question? The girl smiled at her mother, then let go of her hand to walk over towards us. She looked me dead in the eye and said: How do I know I39。m real? Suddenly I was back in graduate school. Should I talk about the French philosopher Rene Descartes to prove our existence, with the phrase I think, therefore I am? Or, mention English philosopher G. E. Moore and his famous here is one hand, here is the other, to prove the existence of the external world? But then the answer came to me. I remembered that the most important part of philosophy was feeding our sense of wonder. Close your eyes, I said. She did. Well, did you disappear? She smiled and shook her head, then opened her eyes. Congratulations, you39。re real. She grinned (露齒而笑) broadly and walked o
