Free admission on the third Tuesday of every month.

Free admission every Sunday.(自开业以来，它的规模扩大了一倍，增加了一个1.5万平方英尺的雕塑花园，并扩大了永久收藏，从Tamayo和Matta的作品到Cruz-Diez、Los Carpinteros和Tunga的作品。)”可知，Museum of Latin American Art不断扩大。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Caltech Museum:部分的“Founded in 1979 by members of the Caltech community and the Pasadena Junior League, the museum develops the potential of all kids through kid-driven experiences, inspiring them to become joyful, active learners.(1979年由Caltech社区和Pasadena Junior League的成员创建，博物馆通过儿童驱动的体验开发所有孩子的潜力，激励他们成为快乐的、积极的学习者。)”可知，Caltech Museum有助于促进积极性，故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Museum of Latin American Art:部分的“Free admission every Sunday.(每周日免费入场。)”，Autry Museum of the American West:部分的“Free admission on the second Tuesday of every month.(每月第二个星期二免费入场。)”，Descanso Gardens:部分的“Free admission on the third Tuesday of every month.(每月第三个星期二免费入场。)”和Caltech Museum:部分的“Admission to the museum is free on First Fridays.(博物馆在首个星期五免费入场。)”可知，这些博物馆和花园的共同之处在于它们定期提供免费入场，故选D。 B It’s not quite often when we see architects devoted to creating buildings as more than art, expression, or technological creation. Shigeru Ban is one of the most clever architects who knows how to recognize pressing problems and come up with the best solutions for them. Shigeru Ban is a Japanese architect born in Tokyo in 1957, he founded Shigeru Ban Architects in 1985 and has since then expanded branches from Tokvo to New York and Paris. His career has spanned over various architectural fields from commercial spaces to museums, but his disaster relief (救灾) work shines the most. He set a new standard for socially-aware and emergent (紧急的) architecture and paved the way for teaching the whole world how building skills can help in times of crises. His unique method earned him the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2014, where he was honored for his devotion to designing shelters for disaster-stricken areas. He is highly praised for showing how architecture can be a tool for positive social change, particularly in his attention to using materials and attending to social needs. In a 2017 interview, Shigeru Ban was asked about what guided him towards being involved with disaster relief architecture. His replies detailed that there seemed to be a lack of social responsibility among architects in Japan regarding this matter, so he felt the urge to take action. After the Kobe earthquake in 1995, Ban saw the poor living conditions related to evacuation centers and wanted to make a change with architecture. Following this event, he established the Voluntary Architects’ Network (VAN) to provide support to disaster-affected areas worldwide. When asked whether his initiatives were inspired by Japan’s continuous risk for earthquakes and volcano eruptions, he explained that his motivation (动力) comes from a desire to improve living conditions for disaster victims rather than Japan’s geographic risks. He’s a man with a skill for identifying problems and finding solutions. 4. What does the underlined word “expanded” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Organized. B. Enlarged. C. Strengthened. D. Tracked. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The new standard Ban set for architecture. B. The creative use of materials in Ban’s design. C. The achievements of Ban’s disaster relief work. D. The reasons Ban designed shelters for the homeless. 6. What was Ban’s motivation for disaster relief work? A. His skills in dealing with natural disaster. B. His terrible suffering in a natural disaster. C. His concern about Japan’s geographic risks. D. His desire to improve the life of those in need. 7. Which of the following can best describe Shigeru Ban? A. Caring and creative. B. Responsible but impolite. C. Selfless but careless. D. Talented and outgoing. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了日本建筑师Shigeru Ban的生平事迹，重点强调了他在救灾建筑方面的贡献以及他设立的新标准。 4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“he founded Shigeru Ban Architects in 1985 and has since then expanded branches from Tokyo to New York and Paris.(他于1985年创立了Shigeru Ban Architects，并从此将分支机构从东京expanded到纽约和巴黎)”可知，Shigeru Ban初创于东京，后来在纽约和巴黎建立了分支机构，即他的公司规模变大了，故划线词expanded意思是“扩大”，与B项Enlarged同义。故选B项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“He set a new standard for socially-aware and emergent (紧急的) architecture and paved the way for teaching the whole world how building skills can help in times of crises. His unique method earned him the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2014, where he was honored for his devotion to designing shelters for disaster-stricken areas. He is highly praised for showing how architecture can be a tool for positive social change, particularly in his attention to using materials and attending to social needs.(他为具有社会意识和紧急情况的建筑设立了一个新的标准，并为向全世界传授建筑技能如何在危机时刻提供帮助铺平了道路。他独特的方法使他在2014年获得了普利兹克建筑奖，他在该奖项中因致力于为灾区设计避难所而获得荣誉。他因展示了建筑如何成为积极社会变革的工具而受到高度赞扬，特别是在他注重使用材料和关注社会需求方面)”可知，本段主要介绍了Ban在救灾建筑方面的成就，包括设立新标准、获得普利兹克建筑奖以及受到的高度赞扬，所以本段主要介绍了Ban在救灾建筑方面的工作成就。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“he explained that his motivation (动力) comes from a desire to improve living conditions for disaster victims rather than Japan’s geographic risks.(他解释说，他的动力来自于改善灾难受害者的生活条件，而不是日本的地理风险)”可知，Ban参与救灾工作的动力是改善灾难受害者的生活条件。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In a 2017 interview, Shigeru Ban was asked about what guided him towards being involved with disaster relief architecture. His replies detailed that there seemed to be a lack of social responsibility among architects in Japan regarding this matter, so he felt the urge to take action.(在 2017 年的一次采访中，Shigeru Ban被问到是什么引导他参与救灾建筑。他很详细地作出回答，在这件事上，日本的建筑师们似乎缺乏社会责任感，所以他感到有采取行动的欲望)”和最后一段“He’s a man with a skill for identifying problems and finding solutions.(他是一个善于发现问题并找到解决方案的人)”可推知，Shigeru Ban是一个有社会责任感，关心社会的人，也是一个善于发现问题并找到解决方案，有创造力的人。故选A项。 C Western fashion brands (时尚品牌) have a design problem with Chinese characters, or hanzi. They still disappoint Chinese customers with the way they use Chinese writing on their products. The most common mistakes suggest there is not enough research and cultural understanding. For example, a Burberry scarf was embroidered (刺绣) with the Chinese character fu upright instead of upside down, as it’s traditionally shown in China. Even the fonts (字体) are a problem. In May, Dior, one of the world’s leading fashion brands, started a special service for customers to have their Chinese names embroidered on Book Tote handbags. When some Chinese stars carrying the customized handbags were shown on social media, the Chinese fashion community expressed their disappointment. Many believed the font on Dior’s handbags showed little artistic taste and looked cheap. It’s not all disappointment, though. Experimentation and careful research have brought positive results for brands coming close to hanzi. Consider the logo (标志) created for Prada Rong Zhai, an old building repaired and owned by the Prada Group in Shanghai. The Rong Zhai type was created by 2 x4 (a New York-based design studio) by using the Roman letters in the original Prada logo to create the Chinese characters. The result is a unique logo that suggests both lettered strictness and a classic Prada style. The type’s West-meet-East mix won broad admiration among Chinese customers online. One way to keep up to date is to team up with creatives and artists of the country to create designs that can be more acceptable to Chinese customers. Joining forces with local partners can also avoid misunderstandings that happen when a design team doesn't know Chinese culture very well. 8. What were the Chinese fashion community disappointed at？ A. The design’s old-fashion. B. The design’s higher price. C. The design’s common font. D. The design’s ugly brand name. 9. What is special about the logo of Prada Rong Zhai？ A. It brings together Western and Chinese writing. B. It is created to introduce Chinese hanzi culture. C. It was designed by online supporters of the company. D. It invited a famous Chinese star to write the characters. 10. What does the author expect Western designers to do？ A. Try to create more fashionable fonts. B. Show more hanzi in Western culture. C. Find the causes of cultural differences. D. Work together with Chinese designers. 11. What does the text mainly want to tell us？ A. International brands spreading Chinese culture. B. Western fashion's struggle with Chinese writing. C. Western designers' research on Chinese characters. D. The collection between Chinese customers and hanzi. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了西方时尚品牌在使用汉字设计时遇到的困境及其原因，并提出了一些看法和建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When some Chinese stars carrying the customized handbags were shown on social media, the Chinese fashion community expressed their disappointment. Many believed the font on Dior’s handbags showed little artistic taste and looked cheap.(当一些携带定制手袋的中国明星在社交媒体上展示时，中国时尚界表示失望。许多人认为迪奥手袋上的字体没有什么艺术品味，看起来很廉价)”可知，中国时尚界认为迪奥手袋上的字体太普通，看起来很廉价，对该设计感到失望。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Consider the logo created for Prada Rong Zhai, an old building repaired and owned by the Prada Group in Shanghai. The Rong Zhai type was created by 2x4 （a New York-based design studio） by using the Roman letters in the original Prada logo to create the Chinese characters. The result is a unique logo that suggests both lettered strictness  and a classic Prada style. The type’s West-meet-East mix won broad admiration among Chinese customers online.(想想为Prada荣宅创建的标志，这是一座由Prada集团在上海维修并拥有的旧建筑。荣宅式是由2x4工作室（一家总部位于纽约的设计工作室）通过使用Prada原始标志中的罗马字母来创造汉字的。其结果是一个独特的标志，暗示着字母的严格和经典的Prada风格。这种类型的中西融合在网上赢得了中国消费者的广泛赞誉)”可知，Prada荣宅logo的特别之处是融合了中西方文化。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“One way to keep up to date is to team up with creatives and artists of the country to create designs that can be more acceptable to Chinese customers. Joining forces with local partners can also avoid misunderstandings that happen when a design team doesn’t know Chinese culture very well.(跟上潮流的一种方法是与中国的创意人员和艺术家合作，创造更能被中国客户接受的设计。与当地合作伙伴合作也可以避免设计团队不太了解中国文化时产生的误解)”可推知，作者希望西方设计师与中国设计师合作，创造出更能被中国客户接受的设计，同时避免设计团队不太了解中国文化时产生的误解。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。阅读全文，尤其是文章第一段“Western fashion brands (时尚品牌) have a design problem with Chinese characters, or hanzi. They still disappoint Chinese customers with the way they use Chinese writing on their products.(西方时尚品牌存在汉字的设计问题。他们在产品上使用中文的方式仍然让中国消费者感到失望)”可知，文章主要探讨了西方时尚品牌在使用汉字设计时遇到的困境及其原因，作者主要想告诉我们西方的时尚与中国汉字之间的文化冲击。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Study Less and Learn More The first thing that you need to realize is that it does not matter how long you spend studying is flawed (有缺陷的).

From ancient artifacts to modern art, read on for our guide in Los Angeles. Museum of Latin American Art: Founded in 1996, it is the only museum in the United States devoted to modern and contemporary Latin American art. Since its beginning, it has doubled its size, added a 15,000-square-foot sculpture garden and expanded its permanent collection, ranging from works by Tamayo and Matta to Cruz-Diez, Los Carpinteros and Tunga. Free admission every Sunday. Autry Museum of the American West: Located in Griffith Park, the Autry features world-class galleries filled with Native American art and artifacts, film memorabilia, historic firearms and more. The Autry’s collection of more than 500,000 pieces of art and artifacts includes the Southwest Museum of the American Indian Collection, one of the largest and most significant collections of Native American materials in the country. Free admission on the second Tuesday of every month. Descanso Gardens: Located in La Cañada Flintridge, the 160-acre Descanso Gardens was originally developed in 1936 by Elias Manchester Boddy, whose numerous interests included horticulture and politics. Descanso Gardens offers numerous areas for exploring, including a Japanese tea garden, water-wise garden, Oak Woodland, California Garden, and the world’s largest collection of camellia flowers. Free admission on the third Tuesday of every month. Caltech Museum: Founded in 1979 by members of the Caltech community and the Pasadena Junior League, the museum develops the potential of all kids through kid-driven experiences, inspiring them to become joyful, active learners. Admission to the museum is free on First Fridays. 1. What is special about Museum of Latin American Art? A. It has a very long history. B. It has been continuously enlarged. C. It owns Native American artifacts. D. It offers a wide range of exploration. 2. Which of the following helps to promote initiatives? A. Museum of Latin American Art. B. Autry Museum of the American West. C. Descanso Gardens. D. Caltech Museum. 3. What do the museums and gardens have in common? A. They take up large areas. B. They have diverse cultures. C. They collect artworks permanently. D. They offer free admission regularly. B It’s not quite often when we see architects devoted to creating buildings as more than art, expression, or technological creation. Shigeru Ban is one of the most clever architects who knows how to recognize pressing problems and come up with the best solutions for them. Shigeru Ban is a Japanese architect born in Tokyo in 1957, he founded Shigeru Ban Architects in 1985 and has since then expanded branches from Tokvo to New York and Paris. His career has spanned over various architectural fields from commercial spaces to museums, but his disaster relief (救灾) work shines the most. He set a new standard for socially-aware and emergent (紧急的) architecture and paved the way for teaching the whole world how building skills can help in times of crises. His unique method earned him the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2014, where he was honored for his devotion to designing shelters for disaster-stricken areas. He is highly praised for showing how architecture can be a tool for positive social change, particularly in his attention to using materials and attending to social needs. In a 2017 interview, Shigeru Ban was asked about what guided him towards being involved with disaster relief architecture. His replies detailed that there seemed to be a lack of social responsibility among architects in Japan regarding this matter, so he felt the urge to take action. After the Kobe earthquake in 1995, Ban saw the poor living conditions related to evacuation centers and wanted to make a change with architecture. Following this event, he established the Voluntary Architects’ Network (VAN) to provide support to disaster-affected areas worldwide. When asked whether his initiatives were inspired by Japan’s continuous risk for earthquakes and volcano eruptions, he explained that his motivation (动力) comes from a desire to improve living conditions for disaster victims rather than Japan’s geographic risks. He’s a man with a skill for identifying problems and finding solutions. 4. What does the underlined word “expanded” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Organized. B. Enlarged. C. Strengthened. D. Tracked. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The new standard Ban set for architecture. B. The creative use of materials in Ban’s design. C. The achievements of Ban’s disaster relief work. D. The reasons Ban designed shelters for the homeless. 6. What was Ban’s motivation for disaster relief work? A. His skills in dealing with natural disaster. B. His terrible suffering in a natural disaster. C. His concern about Japan’s geographic risks. D. His desire to improve the life of those in need. 7. Which of the following can best describe Shigeru Ban? A. Caring and creative. B. Responsible but impolite. C. Selfless but careless. D. Talented and outgoing. C Western fashion brands (时尚品牌) have a design problem with Chinese characters, or hanzi. They still disappoint Chinese customers with the way they use Chinese writing on their products. The most common mistakes suggest there is not enough research and cultural understanding. For example, a Burberry scarf was embroidered (刺绣) with the Chinese character fu upright instead of upside down, as it’s traditionally shown in China. Even the fonts (字体) are a problem. In May, Dior, one of the world’s leading fashion brands, started a special service for customers to have their Chinese names embroidered on Book Tote handbags. When some Chinese stars carrying the customized handbags were shown on social media, the Chinese fashion community expressed their disappointment. Many believed the font on Dior’s handbags showed little artistic taste and looked cheap. It’s not all disappointment, though. Experimentation and careful research have brought positive results for brands coming close to hanzi. Consider the logo (标志) created for Prada Rong Zhai, an old building repaired and owned by the Prada Group in Shanghai. The Rong Zhai type was created by 2 x4 (a New York-based design studio) by using the Roman letters in the original Prada logo to create the Chinese characters. The result is a unique logo that suggests both lettered strictness and a classic Prada style. The type’s West-meet-East mix won broad admiration among Chinese customers online. One way to keep up to date is to team up with creatives and artists of the country to create designs that can be more acceptable to Chinese customers. Joining forces with local partners can also avoid misunderstandings that happen when a design team doesn't know Chinese culture very well. 8. What were the Chinese fashion community disappointed at？ A. The design’s old-fashion. B. The design’s higher price. C. The design’s common font. D. The design’s ugly brand name. 9. What is special about the logo of Prada Rong Zhai？ A. It brings together Western and Chinese writing. B. It is created to introduce Chinese hanzi culture. C. It was designed by online supporters of the company. D. It invited a famous Chinese star to write the characters. 10. What does the author expect Western designers to do？ A. Try to create more fashionable fonts. B. Show more hanzi in Western culture. C. Find the causes of cultural differences. D. Work together with Chinese designers. 11 What does the text mainly want to tell us？ A. International brands spreading Chinese culture. B. Western fashion's struggle with Chinese writing. C. Western designers' research on Chinese characters. D. The collection between Chinese customers and hanzi. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Study Less and Learn More The first thing that you need to realize is that it does not matter how long you spend studying is flawed (有缺陷的).
