Leoh Ming Pei, one of the world’s best-known architects（建筑师）, left over 50 designs during his long career. These amazing works stand as his gifts to the world.
The glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France might be Pei’s most famous work. Back in the 1980s, the Louvre Museum was having trouble with traffic. To solve the problem, Pei planned to dig an underground hall and place a glass pyramid on top. Many people didn’t like the idea. They said it was too modern for the classical museum. However, the idea turned out to be a success. It is not only the museum’s main entrance, but also a huge skylight （天窗）.
In 2006, Pei was invited to build a museum in his hometown Suzhou. He tried to include local and historical ideas in his design. He built small halls with traditional white walls and dark roofs, just like the classical Chinese gardens. Moreover, the lines and windows in the roof bring something modern to the museum.
His style may come from his ___12____. The famous Lion Grove Garden（狮子林）in Suzhou used to be owned by Pei’s family. Pei spent some summers there as a child. Maybe that was when Pei developed his interest in architecture. Pei spent most of his adult years in the US, first studying at universities and then working in different places. Even though he was trained in the US, the beauty of Chinese Classics was well displayed in many of his designs. “I’ve never left China bec ause home is a
place your heart always belongs to,” Pei once said.
Over the last century, many building trends（潮流）have come and gone. But the works of Pei have not. “A lasting architecture has to have roots.” Pei once told The New York Times. That may explain why he and his works have stood the test of time.
12. Which of the following is TRUE about “the glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum”?
A. It is too modern for the classical museum.
B. It is more than the entrance to the museum.
C. It was welcomed by French people at the beginning.
D. It was designed to solve the traffic problem in France.
13. What makes Suzhou Museum special?
A. It is in Pei’s hometown.
B. It has modern white walls.
C. It’s both classical and modern.
D. It is built in a beautiful Chinese garden.
14. What might be the most suitable to be put in ________?
A. life experiences
B. designs in the US
C. interest in architecture
D. educational backgrounds
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To compare different cultures.
B. To show a special building trend.
C. To introduce a great architect.
D. To recommend two famous museums.
