课时作业22
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Check off the four corners
Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico are not simply the only four American states that meet at a single point, but they also host the US's greatest concentration of national parks.
This is the place to come for that classic scene of the lonely desert road extending to the horizon. On your way, take in such sights as the Monument Valley and the mysterious remains of centuries-old civilizations in Colorado's Mesa Verde.
Find beauty in the desert
With many miles of excellent roads, a self-drive trip in Namibia makes total sense. Plan a route north from capital Windhoek to wildlife-rich Etosha National Park, before crossing Damaraland to reach the Skeleton Coast. The most impressive desert views are in the Namib-Naukluft National Park to the south. At Sossusvlei, the landscape takes on the quality of a surrealist painting.
Cross half a continent
The 1,761-mile-long Stuart Highway runs north to south through Australia's Red Centre. It is not a road where every turn shows new wonders; the reward of this trip comes in the gradual change in your surroundings, from red soils in Australia's outback to the tropical (热带的) leaves of the Indian Ocean coast.
Take the high road
Among all the crashing of continental plates that raised up the Canadian Rockies, a 144-mile route was left more or less clear at their centre. The Icefields Parkway now passes through this amazing scenery; with the access it brings to icy lakes, waterfalls and icefields, the section between Banff and Jasper has a good claim to being the most scenic in the world.

I．M.Pei, the Chinese-American, who was regarded as one of the last great modernist architects, has died at the age of 102.
Although he worked mostly in the United States, Pei will always be remembered for a European project: His redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s. He gave us the glass and metal pyramid in the main courtyard, along with three smaller pyramids and a vast subterranean (地下的) addition to the museum entrance.
Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history, and initially his designs were fiercely opposed. But in the end, the French—and everyone else—were won over. Winning the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he was thought of as giving the 20th century “some of its most beautiful interior spaces _poetry”．
After studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, Pei set up his own architectural practice in New York in 1955.
Designing the John F．Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in 1964 established him as a name. His East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1978 changed people's ideas of a museum. The site was an odd trapezoid (梯形) shape.

Pei's solution was to cut it in two. The resulting building was dramatic, light and elegant—one of the first crowd-pleasing museums of modern art.
Though known as a modernist, and notable for his forms based on arrangements of simple geometric (几何的) shapes, he once urged Chinese architects to look more to their architectural tradition rather than designing in a western style.
In person, I．M.Pei was good-humored, charming and unusually modest. His working process was evolutionary, but innovation (创新) was never an intended goal.
“Stylistic originality is not my purpose，” he said. “I want to find the originality in the time, the place and the problem.”
