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 and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to

Dawson was covered 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 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 settling 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

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 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(

元素

).

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

the 1995 Pritzker Prize.

Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums.

traditions once existed,

the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created,

traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are,

The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be

artificial and empty, he said.

’s winning of the prize means that Chinese

architects are ___________.

A. following the latest world trend

C. working harder than ever before

A. Its hilly environment.

C. Its unique style.

B. getting international recognition

D. relying on foreign architects

B. Its large size.

D. Its diverse functions.

B. The balance of East and West.

D. The harmony of old and new.

B. Preserve them at museums.

D. Recreate them in practice.
