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 River. 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, 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 snow-covered mountains are sailed hundreds of miles up

icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without

warning. 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 first20000 people who dug for

gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich 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 setting down, and when 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 settlers 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. Two-thirds of them stayed there.

B. One out of five people got rick.

C. Almost everyone gave up

D. Half of them died.

26. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?

A. They found the city too crowded.

B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.

C. They were unable to stand the winter.

D. They were shot of food.

27. What is the text mainly about?

A. The rise and fall of a city

B. The gold rush in Canada.

C. Journeys into the wilderness.

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 take the center stage.

Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-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 Architecture Department at the China 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.

Many

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

techniques

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.

Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of

traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao

Ando, the winner of the1995 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 think 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 about 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. Wang's winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are__________.
