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．閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 It was rainy, and I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn39。s house. But she had insisted that I e to see something at the top of the mountain. So here I was, reluctantly making the twohour journey through fog that hung like veils. By the time I saw how thick it was near the summit, I39。d gone too far to turn back. Nothing could be worth this, I thought as I inched along the dangerous highway. I39。ll stay for lunch, but I39。 m heading back down as soon as the fog lifts, I announced when I arrived. But I need you to drive me to the garage to pick up my car, Carolyn said, Could we at least do that? How far is it? I asked. About three minutes, she said, I39。ll drive—I39。m used to it. After ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her anxiously. I thought you said three minutes. She grinned. This is a detour. Turning down a narrow track, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge blackgreen evergreens towered over us. Gradually, the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind. Then we turned a er and stopped—and I gasped in amazement. From the top of the mountain, sloping for several acres across the mountain side and valleys, were rivers of flowers in numerous colors. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside. A series of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How? As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, we saw a sign that read: Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking. The first answer was: One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain. The second was: One at a Time. The third: Started in 1958. As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen. I could scarcely speak. She changed the world. I finally said, one bulb (球莖) at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it. The wonder of it would not let me go. Imagine, I said, if I39。d had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have acplished? Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. Start tomorrow, she said. Better yet, start today.（1）What was the weather like when the author drove to visit her daughter?
