Question

【題目】 Over the last century, many building trends（潮流）have come and gone. But the buildings designed (設計) by Ieoh Ming Pei, one of the world's best-known architects (建筑), have not. The designs of this Chinese-American architects stands as his special talents to the whole world. However, the man behind the famous buildings died on May 16, at age 102.

During his long work life, Pei has left over 50 buildings with different styles (風格) around the world. According to him, it is dangerous for an architect to be marked with only one style. Instead, he was known for his eclectic style, bringing together opposite ideas into each design-East and West, ancient and modern, natural and man-made.

His style may come from his life experiences. He was born and grew up in China, and then he went to the US to study architecture at 18. He studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and later at Harvard. "I've never left China, because home is a place your heart always belongs to", he once said.

Pei tried to include local (當?shù)氐?/span>) and historical ideas in his designs. When designing Suzhou Museum in the 2000s, Pei made the building go with the city. He built small halls with traditional white walls and dark roofs (屋頂), just like the classical Chinese gardens which Suzhou are famous for. At the same time, the lines and the windows in the roof bring something modern to the museum.

Even in Pei's 80s when he was designing the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar, he still kept learning new things. He spent months in the Middle East visiting special places. "A lasting building will always find the place where it comes from," Pei said. That may explain why he and his designs have stood the test of time.

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據文章內容“Ieoh Ming Pei, one of the world's best-known architects (建筑),”可知，他是世界上最著名的建筑師之一，故選B。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據文章內容“his eclectic style, bringing together opposite ideas into each design-East and West, ancient and modern, natural and man-made.”可知，他會把兩個完全相反的風格組合到一起，因此eclectic是把兩個不同風格組合到一起，即兼收并蓄的，故選A。
