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 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.‎ 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文，题材是人物报道。文章报道了2012年度建筑界的最高奖项——普利兹克奖的获得者王澍及其作品风格。‎ ‎38.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 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。第一段是文章的中心段，第二段讲述了中国建筑设计师获得了建筑界的诺贝尔奖——普利兹克奖，这个例子是用来说明第一段后半句的：许多优秀的中国建筑设计师正进入世界建筑设计舞台的中心。故选B。‎ ‎39.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.‎ 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第五段第三句“This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).”和第六段第二句中的“Through such a balance，he had created a new type of Chinese architecture...”可知，传统与现代元素的和谐共存是王澍建筑设计成功的秘密。故选D。‎ ‎40.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　D 解析　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句“The study of traditions should be combined with practice.”和第二句中的“the recreation of traditions”可知，王澍认为应在实践中对传统进行再创造。故选D。‎ C The vast grasslands of the High Plains in the central United States were settled by farmers and ranchers(牧场主) in the 1880s.This region has a dry climate，and for 50 years after its settlement，it supported a low-intensity agricultural economy of cattle ranching and wheat farming.In the early twentieth century，however，it was discovered that much of the area was underlain by a huge aquifer(地下蓄水层).This aquifer was named the Ogallala Aquifer after the Ogallala Sioux Indians，who once lived in the region.‎ The Ogallala Aquifer is a sandstone formation that underlies some 583,000 square kilometers of land extending from northwestern Texas to southern South Dakota.Water from rains and melting snows has been accumulating in the Ogallala for the past 30,000 years.Estimates indicate that the aquifer contains enough water to fill Lake Huron，but unfortunately，under the semiarid(雨量很少的) climatic conditions that presently exist in the region，rates of addition to the aquifer are minimal，amounting to about half a centimeter a year.‎ The first wells were drilled into the Ogallala Aquifer during the drought years of the early 1930s.Since then，Ogallala water has enabled the High Plains region to supply significant amounts of cotton，wheat，and corn grown in the United States.‎ This development of a limited groundwater resource with an almost negligible natural recharge rate—that is，virtually no natural water source to restore the water supply—has caused water tables in the region to fall greatly.In the 1930s，wells encountered plentiful water at a depth of about 15 meters；currently，they must be dug to depths of 45 to 60 meters or more.In some places，the water table is declining at a rate of a meter a year，necessitating the use of ever-more-powerful pumps.It is estimated that at current withdrawal rates，much of the aquifer will run dry within 40 years.‎ The reaction of farmers to the unavoidable depletion(用尽) of Ogallala water varies.Many have been attempting to conserve water by irrigating less frequently or by switching to crops that require less water.Others，however，believe that it is best to use the water while it is still economically profitable to do so.The motivation of the farmers who wish to conserve water is reduced by their knowledge that many of their neighbors are profiting by using great amounts of water.‎ In the face of the water supply crisis，a number of grand plans have been developed to transport vast quantities of water from the Mississippi，the Missouri，or the Arkansas rivers. Unfortunately，the cost of water obtained through any of these plans would increase pumping costs at least tenfold(十倍地)，making the cost of irrigated agricultural products from the region uncompetitive on the national and international markets.‎ 语篇解读　奥加拉拉蓄水层使得美国大平原一度成为农业兴盛之地，然而如今由于不加节制地利用其水资源，该蓄水层面临枯竭的风险。‎ ‎41.What can be learned about the High Plains?‎ A.Its first settlers were farmers and ranchers.‎ B.Its climate is characterized by high temperatures.‎ C.Its economy has been transformed since the 1930s.‎ D.Its aquifer was discovered by Ogallala Sioux Indians.‎ 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“it supported a low-intensity agricultural economy of cattle ranching and wheat farming”及第三段中的“Ogallala water has enabled the High Plains region to supply significant amounts of cotton，wheat，and corn grown in the United States”可知，20世纪30年代之前，即奥加拉拉蓄水层未被发现并利用前，大平原地区由于气候干旱，仅保有以畜牧业和小麦种植为主的低密度农业经济，利用奥加拉拉蓄水层进行农业灌溉后，该地区农业经济发展兴盛。‎ ‎42.What is unlikely to happen due to the heavy use of the Ogallala Aquifer?‎ A.Wells have to be dug to much greater depths.‎ B.The recharge rate of the aquifer is decreasing.‎ C.Water tables in the region are becoming lower.‎ D.More powerful pumps are needed to draw water.‎ 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，由于几乎没有自然水资源进行补充，大量开发奥加拉拉蓄水层的水资源导致地下水位下降，人们必须打更深的井，使用更大功率的水泵才能汲取出水。B项“对蓄水层的补充率不断下降”并非大规模开发利用奥加拉拉蓄水层的结果。‎ ‎43.Which of the following presents a difficulty for the farmers trying to conserve water?‎ A.Irrigating less frequently leads to crop failure.‎ B.Farmers using a lot of water are making higher profits.‎ C.Crops needing little water haven’t been developed yet.‎ D.Few farmers believe the aquifer will eventually run dry.‎ 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The motivation of the farmers who wish to conserve water is reduced by their knowledge that many of their neighbors are profiting by using great amounts of water.”可知，一些农民本有意节水，然而，当看到别的农民依靠种植耗水农作物而大量盈利后，他们节水的积极性受到了打击。‎ ‎44.What does the author think of the grand plans mentioned in the last paragraph?‎ A.Unrealistic. B.Advanced.‎ C.Cost-effective. D.Eco-harmful.‎ 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Unfortunately，the cost of water...increase pumping costs at least tenfold...uncompetitive on the national and international markets.”可知，作者认为，通过任何一种计划获得水资源都会使得抽水成本提高至少十倍，进而导致这一地区的农产品成本上升，失去竞争力。故可推知，作者认为这些供水计划不切实际。‎ D From time to time，life can be unbelievably difficult.We are faced with challenges and events that can seem overwhelming(势不可挡的)，life-destroying to the point where it may be hard to decide whether to keep going.But you always have a choice.Jessica Heslop shares her powerful，inspiring journey from the worst times in her life to the new life she has created for herself：‎ I worked in a finance job that I hated and I lived in a concrete jungle city with little green color.I occupied my time with meaningless relationships and spent large quantities of money on something worthless.I was searching for happiness and had no idea where to find it.‎ Then I fell ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome(慢性疲劳综合征) and became actually difficult ‎ to get up from bed.I had to quit my job and then was left with no income.I lived with my boyfriend of then only 3 months who financially supported me and our relationship was put under great pressure.I eventually regained my physical health，but not long after that I got a call from my family at home to say that my father’s cancer had fiercely progressed and that he had been admitted to hospital.‎ I left the city and I went home to be with him.He died six months later.‎ My father was a complete inspiration to me.He was always so strong that，for a minute after he drew his last breath，I honestly thought he would come back to life.I couldn’t believe I would never again be against his big warm chest and feel safe no matter what.‎ The deep sorrow that followed was strong for all of us 5 children and our mother，but we had each other.But my eldest sister at that time complained of a bad back.It got so bad after 2 months that she too was admitted to hospital.They discovered that she had highly advanced cancer in her bones and that there was nothing that they could do.She died one month later.‎ I could never put into words the loss of my sister in my life.She was a walking，talking angel and my favourite person in the whole world.If someone could have asked me the worst thing that could ever happen，it would have been losing her.‎ She was my soulmate and I never thought I would journey this lifetime without her.‎ The shock and extreme heart break brought me to my knees.The pain was so great and my world just looked desolate.I had no real home，no money，no job，and no friends that cared.Not one person had even sent me a sympathy card for my loss.‎ I made an attempt of my own life and I ended up in hospital.‎ I remember lying in the hospital bed，looking up at the ceiling and seeing my sister’s beautiful face.She stayed with me all night long.‎ I realized during that night that I had a choice.I could choose to end my life or I could choose to live it.‎ I looked in my sister’s eyes and I made a decision not to go with her just yet.I would stay and complete my journey here.‎ I also made the decision that I wouldn’t just live any life.I would live the life that I absolutely love and nothing less.‎ At that moment，the idea was so clear that it was like a light shining in a dark room for the first time.As if the earth’s plates had changed under my feet and everything suddenly looked real for the first time.‎ 语篇解读　Jessica Heslop的生活和工作一直不顺心，甚至可以说糟糕至极。之后，两位亲人的相继离世险些将她的精神击垮。最终，她鼓起勇气为自己的生活做出了选择。‎ ‎45.What does the first paragraph express?‎ A.How difficult Jessica’s life was.‎ B.Everyone has a choice in his life.‎ C.What Jessica learned from life.‎ D.We should be brave to face our life.‎ 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，第一段所写正是Jessica Heslop对生活的感悟。故选C。‎ ‎46.What life did Jessica Heslop live in the city?‎ A.Busy and relaxing. B.Costly and free.‎ C.Poor and lonely. D.Dull and boring.‎ 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。Jessica Heslop在第二段中把自己的城市生活描述为“with little green color”，绿色代表着生机，缺少绿色就是缺少生机。再结合该段中“meaningless...worthless”可知，Jessica的城市生活是枯燥乏味的。‎ ‎47.Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to the passage?‎ A.The relationship between Jessica and her boyfriend was tense.‎ B.Jessica Heslop lived with her boyfriend for above three months.‎ C.Jessica Heslop suffered from a kind of disease which was incurable.‎ D.After recovering from the disease，Jessica couldn’t find a job any more.‎ 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段第三句中的“our relationship was put under great pressure”可知，Jessica和她男友之间的关系紧张。故选A。‎ ‎48.What was the heaviest blow to Jessica Heslop?‎ A.Losing her job. B.The loss of her father.‎ C.Her eldest sister’s death.

Women’s paths are much emergent.They tend to not necessarily look ahead and think，‘I want to be on top.’ Women would point to a number of experiences—motherhood，or working with a non-profit，or sitting on a board，as shaping their path to becoming leaders，” she said.‎ Actually，women leaders tend to be held to higher standards than their male counterparts.Igoye has felt this in Uganda.“Women who take up leadership positions in my country have to be tough，it’s not easy at all，” she said.“You are always aware that you are representing all women.You have to work extra hard to deliver，to perform，because if you do something wrong，they will say，‘Ah，you see，women！’ ”‎ Therefore，merely having women leaders can change the opportunities available for generations of women in a country.What leadership looks like in their country，how much of a voice the women leaders are having，influences what leadership is and what it means to its women.‎ What do women leaders have in common?‎

语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。研究人员采访了一些国家的女性，询问她们通往领导岗位的道路。这些女性在谈到她们如何成为领导者时都有一些相似之处。他们都将成功归功于自己所生长的家庭环境。同时结合了Igoye，Ben和Chahal三位女性的自身经历得出结论：女性领袖对于国家和其他女性而言意义重大。‎ ‎51.答案　similarity/similarities

say，their parents didn’t stop them”可知，她们的父母谈论政治，谈论社区里发生的事情，当女性有话要说时，她们的父母没有阻止她们，即女性有了接触政治的机会。be exposed to sth.“接触某事”，故填exposed。‎ ‎54.答案　top 解析　根据倒数第三段最后两句可知，与男性不同的是，他们之前的经历帮助他们走上职业生涯的顶峰。故填top。‎

解析　概括第五段第一句可知，Igoye的父亲很有远见，不顾村里其他人的反对，把女儿送去上学接受教育，故填education/schooling。‎ ‎57.答案　against 解析　根据第五段中的“Similarly Ben Said talked about how her father encouraged political debate among the family when she was growing up，even when her opinions contradicted his.”可知，她的父亲在她成长过程中鼓励家庭内部进行政治辩论，即使她的观点与父亲的相反。 go ‎ against...与……相反，故填 against。‎ ‎58.答案　marrying 解析　根据第五段最后一句“...Chahal said that even in her younger

number of visitors has increased dramatically in the past few years as well.‎ The benefits we enjoy from promoting cultural products far exceed our imagination.Firstly，these inventive art works function as ambassadors to spread our splendid culture，extending Chinese cultural influence and building up our cultural confidence.In addition，profits gained from the sales of artistic souvenirs can be spent on the restoration of cultural relics and the organization of educational activities which in turn will attract more visitors.‎ To jump on the bandwagon of promoting Chinese culture，I will design a set of bookmarks with images of palaces or emperors on them.It not only is of practical use but also serves as a reminder of sweet memories at the Palace Museum.I hope my design will be a useful addition to those cultural and creative art works.‎
