15.Frank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect(建筑師) that the United States has ever produced.He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings.His buildings are not only beautiful,but they are also practical and useful.They fit their purposes very well.Wright's churches,for example,make people feel like thinking and praying.His office buildings make people enjoy working,and his houses make people feel comfortable,at home.However,F(xiàn)rank Lloyd Wright's beautiful,practical and useful buildings are not the only reason that he is famous.There is another reason.Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture.Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European,not American.Wright's buildings do not look like old European buildings.They have their own style.Wright's ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.
The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright's style of architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it.His houses are often called"grass-land houses"because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland.Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wright's house are parallel(平行的) to the horizon,the place where earth and sky seem to meet.They are horizontal lines.Most European style houses,in contrast,have many vertical lines that form 90°angles with the horizon.

25.Frank Lloyd Wright's style in architecture wasB.
A.no longer popular
B.not only limited to the U.S.
C.learned from some European countries
D.somewhat similar to the European style
26.Which of the following best describes the character of the house that Wright designed?A
A.They were very comfortable and useful.
B.They could be used as churches.
C.They were very large and beautiful.
D.They were beautiful in design but not practical in use.
27.What is the most important idea in Wright's style?C
A.Design should be more important than use.
B.A building must have grassland around it.
C.Architectural design should match natural surroundings.
D.American style in architecture should be different from European's.

26.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文中第一段句子His buildings are not onlybeautiful,butthey are also practical and useful. his houses make people feel comfortable,at home 可知他設(shè)計(jì)的房子極漂亮又實(shí)用,所以答案選A.  
27.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一段的第一句The most importantidea in Frank Lloyd Wright's style of architecture is that a building must fitits purpose and the land around it.在蘭克•勞埃德•賴特的建筑風(fēng)格中,最重要的思想是建筑必須符合它的目的和周圍的土地.所以答案選C.

點(diǎn)評 本講了建筑師萊特的建筑風(fēng)格已經(jīng)對美國建筑的影響,本文考查細(xì)節(jié)題為主,細(xì)節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息?或是其變體.搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時(shí)使用的具體事實(shí)、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細(xì)節(jié)信息.在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細(xì)節(jié).做這類題一般采用尋讀法?即先讀題,然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文,找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語或句子,再對相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對比,找出答案.

5.The character"duang"is so new that it does not even exist in the Chinese dictionary.But it has already spread like wildfire online in China,appearing more than 8 million times on China's micro-blogging site Weibo,where it spawned a top-trending hashtag (標(biāo)簽) that drew 312,000 discussions among 15,000 users.On China's biggest online search engine Baidu,it has been looked up almost 600,000 times.It's been noticed in the West too.
But what does it mean?"Everyone's duang-ing and I still don't know what it means!Looks like it's back to school for me,"said Weibo user Weileiweito.Another user asked:"Have you duang-ed today?My mind is full of duang duang duang.""To duang or not to duang,that is the question,"wrote user BaiKut automan.
"Duang"seems to be an example of onomatopoeia (擬聲詞 ),a word that phonetically imitates a sound.It all seems to have started with Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan,who in 2004 was featured in a shampoo commercial where he said famously defended his sleek (光亮的),black hair using the rhythmical-sounding"duang".The word resurfaced again recently after Chan posted it on his Weibo page.Thousands of users then began to flood Chan's Weibo page with comments,coining the word in reference to his infamous shampoo appearance.
The word appears to have different meanings,and there's no perfect translation,but you could see it as an adjective to give emphasis to the word that follows it.A kitten might be"duang cute",for example.Or you might be"very duang confused"by this blog.For readers of Chinese cha racters,the Jackie Chan theme is also apparent from the quirky way in which the word is written:a combination of Chan's Mandarin names.
29.From what the persons mentioned in Paragraph 2,we can learnD.
A.duang is popular among students
B.young users can use duang freely
C.using duang is recognized as a fashion
D.different persons have their own understanding of duang
30.Why did Jackie Chan use the word duang in 2004?C
A.To invent a new character.
B.To advertise for an action film.
C.To show off his good hair in an ad.
D.To ask his fans to flood his Weibo page.
31.The underlined word"quirky"in the last paragraph probably meansB.
A.modern            
B.unusual
C.imaginable          
D.interesting
32.What's the purpose of the writer in writing the passage?A
A.To introduce readers of a new character.
B.To warn readers not to follow others.
C.To criticize Jackie Chun for his mistake.
D.To welcome a new invention.
