14、 Winter Market。B Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are， like a nearby port or river。 People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade。 New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson Riv
15、er。 Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight。 In 1896, Dawson， Canada, was unmapped wilderness（荒野）. But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later
16、, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30，000. Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snowcovered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers。 The path to Dawson was co
17、vered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming。 An avalanche（雪崩） once closed the path， killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson， however， the rewards were worth the difficult trip。 Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4，000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed ric
18、h men for the rest of their lives。 But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable。 Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found。 The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and w
19、hen they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go - to see where the Canadian gold rush happened。 Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City - its present population is 762。24。 What attracted the early s
20、ettlers to New York City？A。 Its business culture。 B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position. D。 Its favourable climate.25. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Twothirds of them stayed there. B. One out of five people got rich。C. Almost everyone gave up. D。 Half
21、 of them died。26。 What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson? They found the city too crowded。 They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C。 They were unable to stand the winter. D。 They were short of food.27。 What is the text mainly about？A. The rise and fall of a city。 B. The gold rush
22、in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness。 D. Tourism in Dawson.C While famous foreign architects are invited to 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 t
23、ake the center stage。Their efforts have been proven fruitful。 Wang Shu， a 49year-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
24、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。 Ma
25、ny 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 tec
26、hniques 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）。Wangs works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had
27、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 th
28、ink 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 ab
29、out 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.28. Wangs winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are _. following the latest world trend B. getting international recognitionC. working harder than ever before D. relying on foreign architects29。 What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most？
