阅读理解awhile 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 prizewhich is often referred to as the nobel prize in architectureon 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).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 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.1.wangs winning of the prize means that chinese architects are .a.following the latest world trendb.getting international recognitionc.working harder than ever befored.relying on foreign architects2.what impressed visitors to the caa xiangshan campus most?a.its hilly environment.b.its large size.c.its unique style.d.its diverse functions.3.what made wangs architectural design a success?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.4.what should we do about chinese traditions according to wang?a.spread them to the world.b.preserve them at museums.c.teach them in universities.d.recreate them in practice.答案1.b2.c3.d4.dbgive yourself a test. which way is the wind blowing?how many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door?if your awareness is as sharp as it could be, youll have no trouble answering these questions.most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. a childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. but distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear;we are numb(麻木的)to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.the first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. this blocks awareness. one chilly night when i was hiking in the rocky mountains with some students, i mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. the students began complaining about how cold it would be. we reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. they were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first.another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷)many of us have with naming things. i saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. they no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.the pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. i encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. it seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see whats around them. i asked them what theyd seen. “oh, a few birds,”they said. they seemed bent on their destinations.nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.5.according to paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more.a.anxious to do wondersb.sensitive to others feelingsc.likely to develop unpleasant habitsd.eager to explore the world around them6.what idea does the author convey in paragraph 3?a.to avoid jumping to conclusions.b.to stop complaining all the time.c.to follow the teachers advice.d.to admit mistakes honestly.7.the bird watchers behavior shows that they.a.are very patient in their observationb.are really fascinated by naturec.care only about the names of birdsd.question the accuracy of the field guides8.why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?a.the natural beauty isnt attractive to them.b.they focus on arriving at the camp in time.c.the forest in the dark is dangerous for them.d.they are keen to see rare birds at the destination.9.in the passage, the author intends to tell us we should.a.fill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldb.get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifec.open our mind to new things and ideasd.try our best to protect nature答案5.d6.a7.c8.b9.a第三节 任务型阅读 educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. womens education may be an unusual economic field, but increasing womens contribution to development is actually as much an economic issue as a social one. and economics, with its focus on encouragement, provides an explanation for why so many girls are getting rid of education.parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody elses family and bear children. girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to schoolthe prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious (恶性的) circle of neglect.an educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. she is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. the education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as boys, will be educated and healthy. the vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. but it has enormous economic advantages as well. most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. wages rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling. such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available in
