On March 5, 2024, Riken Yamamt became the 53rd winner f the Pritzker Architecture Prize since it was established in 1979 and the 9th architect frm Japan t be awarded the prize.
Yamamt was brn in 1945. His prjects, ranging frm private residences t public husing, are lcated thrughut the wrld. His signature wrks include Nagya Zkei University (Nagya, Japan, 2022), The Circle at Zürich Airprt (Zürich, Switzerland, 2020), Tianjin Library (Tianjin, China, 2012), Pangy Husing (Sengnam, Suth Krea, 2010).
“Yamamt has spent his entire life creating architecture that enriches the lives f thse cmmunities in a very generus and quiet way,” Debrah Berke, head f the Yale Schl f Architecture, tld NPR. “My favrite is the Yksuka Museum f Art. When I was there, I felt that I was part f smething larger. That was really magical.”
The building Yamamt is prud f might be the transparent firehuse he designed in Hirshima. “The place is especially ppular with children. They like t see the firemen training,” the architect said with a smile. “It’s cvered with glass, s they can see the firefighters’ activities frm the utside.”
Decnstructing traditinal cncepts f freedm and privacy while rejecting lngstanding cnditins that have reduced husing int a cmmdity (商品) withut relatin t neighbrs, Yamamt defines cmmunity as a sense f sharing ne space and tries t bridge cultures, histries and multi-generatinal citizens, by adapting internatinal influence and mdernist architecture t the needs f the future.
“Fr me, t recgnize space is t recgnize an entire cmmunity,” Yamamt said. “The current architectural apprach emphasizes privacy, while ignring the necessity f scietal relatinships. Hwever, we can hnr the freedm f each individual while still living tgether in architectural space as a harmnius cmmunity.”
“One f the things we need mst in the future f cities is t create cnditins thrugh architecture that multiply the pprtunities fr peple t cme tgether and interact. By recnsidering bundary between public and private lives, Yamamt cntributes psitively beynd the belief t enable cmmunities,” says Tm Pritzker, chair f the Hyatt Fundatin, which spnsrs the award.
24. Which building des Debrah Berke like mst?
A. The Circle at Zürich Airprt.B. Pangy Husing.
C. The Yksuka Museum f Art.D. Nagya Zkei University.
25. What has made the firehuse in Hirshima s ppular with children?
A. The magic rf.B. The interesting tys.
C. The beautiful walls.D. The training activities.
26. What des Riken Yamamt stress in his design?
A. Scial interactin.B. Individual freedm.
C. Natinal traditin.D. Futuristic appearance.
27. What is Tm Pritzker’s attitude t the majrity f the existing urban buildings?

Inside a large rm at the Internatinal Center fr Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), tens f thusands f seeds are stred at a cnstant temperature f -20℃. Sme f them may hld keys t helping us face the future.
“Our center hlds as many as 120,000 varieties f seeds. Many f them cme frm crps as ld as agriculture itself. Other seeds were selected by researchers wh’ve hiked in the past fur decades thrugh frests and muntains in the Middle East, Asia and Nrth Africa, searching fr wild relatives f wheat, rice, legumes and ther crps that are imprtant t the human diet,” says Mariana Yazbek, wh manages the research center.
The research center, frmed in the 1970s, nce mstly helped farmers in prer cuntries in ht and dry climates. But nw it als sends seeds t scientists in Eurpe, Canada and the United States, t imprve certain crps’ resistance t the effects f climate change.
“What we are cllecting is a sample f the diversity that we have in nature,” adds Yazbek. “We save seeds in case extreme drughts, flds r ther catastrphic events shuld wipe ut plant species. These wild relatives f crps have witnessed s many different climates. The qualities that help them adapt and survive in these cnditins are stred in their DNA. We have this diversity and it can be a tl t help us face the future.”
Yazbek says scientists are particularly interested in crps like the legume because it absrbs a lt f greenhuse gas CO2 frm the atmsphere. It als releases N int the sil, meaning the farmers have t use less chemical fertilizer. And the legume takes very little water t grw because it prduces sugar alchls that act as humectants, a substance that attracts and absrbs water and saves the plant frm freezing r drying ut.
In anther case, a wild wheat seed cllected in Iran has allwed scientists in the US t develp new wheat varieties resistant t the Hessian fly, a harmful insect that causes tens f millins f dllars in damage t American crps every year.
28. What can be learned abut ICARDA?
A. It has a cmplete cllectin f seeds.
B. It just helps the undevelped cuntries.
C. It used t develp seeds fr rich cuntries.
D. It fcuses n saving ancient and wild seeds
29. Which is clsest in meaning t the underlined wrd “catastrphic” in paragraph 4?
A. Imprtant.B. Wasteful.C. Terrible.D. Unfrgettable.
30. What can be inferred abut the legume?
A. It will grw much better in wet areas.
B. It is friendly t the envirnment and sil.
C. It will becme the main crp fr humans.
D. It has difficulty in adapting t cld climate.
31. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Seeds Stred at ICARDA May Help Us Imprve Our Crps
B. A New Invaluable Seed Bank Is Cnstructed at ICARDA
C. Scientists Have Made Breakthrughs in Ancient Seed Study
D. New Seeds Are Successfully Develped fr Nrth America

Frm beautiful brnze (青铜) wine cups t grand brnze ding (fd cntainers), this exhibitin features discveries that will fundamentally change visitrs’ understanding f ancient Chinese civilizatin.
At abut the same time that Stnehenge was rising in England, a Brnze Age culture was develping in China that in many respects was seldm equaled and never surpassed. This develpment seemed t have begun by 1600 BC in the Shang (abut 1600 BC—1046 BC) alng the Yellw River. Fr thusands f years, this area had witnessed cultures f increasing cmplexity, which laid the fundatin f the Chinese civilizatin. By the time f the Brnze Age, this culture was characterized by a strng centralized gvernment, urban cmmunities with bvius scial classes, a distinctive system f writing, strict religius rituals, diversified art frms, and advanced brnze-prducing methds.
Unlike ther cultures, where brnze was first used chiefly fr tls and weapns, in China, brnze was used t make vessels (容器) that played central rles in fficial ceremnies and ancestr wrship fr mre than 1,000 years, even after the fficial beginnings f the Irn Age in 400 BC. Pssessin f brnze vessels thus became a symbl fr the hlding f pwer and rulers used brnze cups and fd cntainers t present fferings f fd and wine t ryal ancestrs and gds.
During Shang times, wine played a majr part in such ceremnies, and cntainers fr wine therefre far utnumbered ther types. Then, the Shang were criticized fr t much wine drinking by its enemy, the Zhu, wh felt that the drinking had ffended Heaven and given the Zhu the right t verthrw the Shang. Safeguarding its wn dynasty, the Zhu replaced the wine vessels with mre practical cking and strage tls.
After the Shang perid, brnze vessels became mre imprtant as expressins f persnal status than as vehicles fr fficial ceremnies. This is evident frm the changing cntent f brnze inscriptins. Carved int the surface f a vessel, these writings first appeared during the late Shang perid as an identificatin f the vessel’s wner r f the ancestr t whm it was dedicated. During the Western Zhu perid, inscriptins became increasingly cmmn and lengthier, praising the achievements f the wners.
32. By the time Stnehenge was rising in England, ________.
A. the Chinese had yet t invent their writing system
B. China was still relatively backward in many respects
C. China had already had a strng centralized gvernment
D. scial classes just started t emerge in the Chinese cities
33. What is the third paragraph mainly abut?
A. The main applicatins f brnze in China.
B. The cmplex fficial ceremnies in China.
C. The significance f the discvery f brnze.
D. The differences between China and ther cuntries.
34. Which f the fllwing mst prbably belngs t the Zhu?
A. Huge brnze ding with shrt religius texts.
B. Brnze vessels shwing the kings’ achievements.
C. An unearthed temple with lts f brnze wine cups.
D. An ancient kitchen with lts f brnze cking pts.
35. Frm which is the text mst prbably taken?
A. A science reprt.B. An exhibit brchure.
C. A histry textbk.D. A research paper.

W: I’ve recently learned smething interesting abut a very large tree. In fact, it is the tallest tree in the wrld, and its name is Hyperin. The tree is a type called a redwd, which generally becmes very large. The best thing abut Hyperin is that nly certain scientists knw its lcatin. The tree is estimated t be between 600—800 years ld. It is nearly 400 feet tall, which is abut 50 feet taller than the average redwd tree. Researchers said that the tree culd still grw taller. Hwever, because f sme lcal birds that have damaged the tp f the tree, it may have stpped grwing.
The scientists dn’t tell peple the tree’s lcatin, because they are afraid sme turists might damage it. Many peple wuld want t see the wrld’s tallest tree fr themselves, s I think it’s a gd idea.
Scientists have already seen turists cause damage t anther famus tree. After the lcatin f the previus tallest tree was made public, many peple went t see it. Peple nt nly damaged the surrunding frest, they als damaged the tree itself. T many turists stepping nearby ruined the dirt arund the tree. Mst peple knew they shuldn’t tuch the tree and just went t use their eyes t absrb it, but they still damaged the tree and the grund withut knwing it.
