(2024·苏锡常镇四市调研) Los Angeles native Randall Bartlett sat under the rooftop of a traditional Chinese scholar's studio, occasionally turning a page of his book.The scene was in
the reopened Liu Fang Yuan garden at the Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens.For him, the garden brings to life the Chinese philosophies he learned from
books.
Phillip E．Bloom, director of the Center for East Asian Garden Studies, said the idea for Liu Fang Yuan goes back to the 1980s with the initial aim of creating a collection of Chinese plants, but after research, they realized plants alone were not sufficient to demonstrate the essence of a Chinese garden.Eventually, they decided to model a garden on 16th and 17th century scholarly retreats (隐居处) in Suzhou.
The decision was made partly due to the fame of Suzhou classical gardens, but also because similarities were found between the Huntington and Suzhou gardens.Bloom said that Henry Huntington, founder of the Huntington Library, was a successful American businessman who used his fortune to collect rare books, artworks and to create gardens.“Many Suzhou gardens were also created by rich people who tried to pursue a scholarly lifestyle, ”he added.
To preserve the character of the Suzhou gardens, the Huntington Library sought help from Suzhou, giving rise to collaboration between American and Chinese architects, contractors and designers.In all stages of construction, artisans (工匠) from Suzhou came to work on details of the venue.
After three years of expansion from 2024 to 2024，Liu Fang Yuan reopened to the public with 4.6 hectares of new landscape, making it one of the largest classical-style Chinese gardens in the world.The additions include courtyards displaying penjing, a scholar's studio, a pavilion (亭子) situated at the garden's highest point, etc.
Now, it is meaningful to see how people from local communities interact with the garden.“A lot of volunteers come to different lectures and exhibitions about Chinese culture that we hold regularly，” Bloom said.By exposing its visitors to arts and literature, Liu Fang Yuan goes beyond international boundaries and bridges the cultural gaps between the two countries.
语篇导读：流芳园是一个依据苏州古典园林的风格建立的花园。

通过中美合作，这座园林成为世界上最大的古典风格中国园林之一。

该园林展示了中国植物、中国哲学和中国文化，推动了中美之间的文化沟通，弥合了两国之间的文化鸿沟。

4．What do we know about Liu Fang Yuan？ D
A．It used to be a scholarly retreat in Suzhou.
B．It was constructed by Suzhou artisans alone.
C．It became the largest garden after being expanded.
D．It promotes cultural exchanges between America and China.
解析：微小环节理解题。

故选D。

5．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？ D
A．The introduction to the founder.
B．The fame of Suzhou classical gardens.
C．The features of a scholarly lifestyle.
D．The reasons for modeling a Suzhou garden.

故选D。

6．What does the underlined word “collaboration” in Paragraph 4 mean？ B A．Negotiation. B．Cooperation.
C．Inspiration. D．Contradiction.

故选B。

7．Why did Bloom mention local people's interactions with the garden？ A A．To show its cultural significance.
B．To detail its architectural features.
C．To promote its diverse activities.
