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.

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(shè)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(shè)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(guān)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(yīng)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(xué)院和哈佛大學(xué)學(xué)習建筑學(xué)；第五段中的“Designing the John F.

Our response was a very determined, No way !We found another vet and told that she was a baby hare. We were told we should continue to keep her in her box for a week and her foot would heal. After her recovery, Bobsy learnt to use the kitty litter tray. She would b her long ears with her front paws.
