Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on 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). Wang’s 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. 90．Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________. A．following the latest world trend B．getting international recognition C．working harder than ever before D．relying on foreign architects 91．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. 92．What made Wang’s 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. 93．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.

A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us. "May I help you?" a man asked. "No, "I said. "We're fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are? " he asked. I turned sharply. "The McNay Art Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street." "What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. "Well, it's our home." My heart jolted(震颤).

B2-荣耀黄金-云南师范大学附属中学2024-2025学年高一上期中卷七选五 Recently, the “smell of toil (班味)” has become a popular topic among the young. Some people joke about how their once good-looking faces now look tired and pale, with dull eyes and thinning hair. The “smell of toil” can come from work pressure, worries about the future, and not having enough personal freedom. This problem may seem big. 28 Accept yourself and try new things. The first step to feeling better is to accept yourself. Be proud of who you are, and don’t be afraid to try new things. 29 But if you don’t try, you won’t know what you’re able to do. Separate work from personal life. 30 It’s important to create a clear line between the two. After work, try to forget about your job and enjoy your personal time. 31 Instead of spending your lunch break looking at your phone, take a short walk or spend 20 minutes in a park.

Spending time on rest will help you feel better and more ready for the next day. A．Use your break time wisely. B．But there are many ways to help people feel better. C．Hang out in a park. D．Try to finish small tasks quickly. E．One reason why people feel tired is that they mix work and personal life. F．Sometimes you are stopped from trying something new because of fear.

"No, "I said. "We're fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves.可知，导游令作者心烦，作者误认为屋子里的男人是位导游。故选D。 100．推理判断题。根据文章第四段The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem?（大厅的人看起来都非常爱窥探的，眼睛不停的好奇的看着我。他们有什么问题？）可以推断出，作者当时感到困惑不解。故选A。 101．推理判断题。根据全文可知，作者着墨点主要在叙述参观误当成McNay博物馆的私人住宅上，故这才是文章的重心，所以将真正的McNay博物馆叙述一带而过。故选D。 102．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in.可知，在作者未造访她家之前，这位女士从未意识到自己住的地方多么美丽，可以推断出，人们往往对周围的美而不见。故选C。 【点睛】本文是叙事性的文章，文章有一定的趣味性，整体难度中等，考查主要以细节理解和推理判断两类题型。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们要严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词句，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。如小题3中考查作者被人盯着看的感受，我们需要找到文章中作者的措词nosy，curiosity和problem，可以推断出作者当时非常困惑不解的心理感受。 28．B 29．F 30．E 31．A 32．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了“班味”这一现象，即因为工作压力、对未来担忧以及缺乏个人自由而导致的疲惫、憔悴状态，给出了一些有效的建议。 28．上文“This problem may seem big.(这个问题可能看起来很大)”提到“班味”这个问题看起来很大，B选项“But there are many ways to help people feel better.(但是有很多方法可以帮助人们感觉更好)”提出虽然问题大，但是有解决的方法，上下文构成转折关系，且下文具体论述了一些改善“班味”的方法，与B选项内容呼应。故选项B。 29．上文“Be proud of who you are, and don’t be afraid to try new things.(为自己感到骄傲，不要害怕尝试新事物)”鼓励人们要勇敢尝试新事物，F选项“Sometimes you are stopped from trying something new because of fear.(有时你会因为害怕而不敢尝试新事物)”与上文构成转折关系，指出有时人们会因为害怕而停止尝试新事物，与上文形成对比，且下文“But if you don’t try, you won’t know what you’re able to do.(但如果你不尝试，你就不会知道自己能做什么)”进一步说明尝试的重要性，与F选项内容相衔接。故选项F。 30．下文“It’s important to create a clear line between the two. After work, try to forget about your job and enjoy your personal time.(在这两者之间划清界限是很重要的。下班后，试着忘掉工作，享受你的个人时间)”建议要将工作和生活分开，对E选项“One reason why people feel tired is that they mix work and personal life.(人们感到疲倦的一个原因是他们把工作和生活混为一谈)”中提出的问题给解决办法，同时句中“the two”与E选项中“work and personal life”构成指代关系，上下文语意连贯。故选项E。 31．设空处为本段小标题，应概括本段主旨。根据下文“Instead of spending your lunch break looking at your phone, take a short walk or spend 20 minutes in a park.(不要利用午休时间看手机，可以散步或者在公园里待20分钟)”可知，本段主要论述的是要合理利用休息时间，A选项“Use your break time wisely.(明智地利用你的休息时间)”能够概括本段主旨，且下文具体给出了如何明智利用休息时间的建议，与A选项内容呼应。故选项A。 32．上文“Many people put off their tasks when they get home, but delaying things only creates more stress.(很多人回家后拖延任务，但拖延只会带来更多的压力)”提到拖延任务会带来压力，D选项“Try to finish small tasks quickly.(试着快速完成小任务)”给出解决拖延问题的方法，即尽快完成小任务，与上文构成顺承关系，且下文“Also, quit unnecessary social events if you feel too tired.(另外，如果你感到太累，就退出不必要的社交活动)”进一步给出减少压力的方法，与D选项内容相衔接。故选项D。 lesson5 The facts 摘要： Though the journalist immediately set out to get the facts after receiving instructions from his editor, he did not send them at once. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, so he sent three faxes, finally threatening to fire the journalist. When the last fax was unanswered, the article was published in its original form. The journalist sent the editor a fax a week later explaining he had been imprisoned after counting the steps and measuring the height of the wall. (80 words) 作文： The journalist counted the number of steps as he wearily climbed up to the high wall surrounding the president's palace. On arriving at the main gate, he sat down to get his breath back. He then produced a tape measure in order to measure the wall. While he was busy measuring the wall, a policeman approached him and asked him what he was doing. Though the journalist explained he was a reporter and his editor had asked him to find out the exact height of the wall, the policeman refused to believe him. He was arrested and sent to prison because the police thought that he might be a spy or might even want to assassinate the president. When the journalist insisted he was innocent, he made things worse for himself. This proved to the police that the man certainly was guilty and deserved to stay in prison indefinitely. (149 words) $$
