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 as giving the 20th century “some of its most beautiful inside spaces and outside forms. His talent and skill in the use of materials approach the level of 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 cathedrals 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.”

1.What can we learn about the result of redevelopment of the Louvre Museum?

A.It was criticized by the French.

B.It turned out to be a success.

C.It made the Louvre Museum look strange.

D.It changed the function of the Louvre Museum.

2.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

A.He is a master in applying materials.

B.He is skilled in writing poems.

C.He often combines poetry and construction.

D.He gets inspiration from poetry in designing.

3.What’s the correct order of the following events?

a. Design the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum.

b. Study architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard.

c. Design the National Gallery of Art.

d. Win the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize.

With its fascinating and artistic accompanying music, singing and costumes, the Peking Opera is China’s national opera. Full of Chinese cultural facts, the opera presents the audience with an encyclopedia（百科全书）of Chinese culture, as well as developing stories, beautiful paintings, magnificent costumes, graceful gestures and martial arts. Since Peking Opera enjoys a higher reputation than other local operas, almost every province in China has more than one Peking Opera troupe. Opera is so popular among Chinese people, especially seniors, that even “Peking Opera Month” has been declared.

Peking Opera’s main tune originated from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei and, over time, techniques from many other local operas were incorporated into Peking Opera.

It is believed that Peking Opera gradually came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui opera troupes came to Beijing. Peking Opera experienced fast development during the period of Emperor Qianlong and the infamous Empress Cixi, eventually becoming more accessible to the common people.

In ancient times, Peking Opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air, teahouses or temple courtyards. Since the orchestra played loudly, the performers developed a sharp style of singing. The costumes were a gorgeous collection of sharply contrasting colors to stand out on the stage lighted only by oil lamps. Peking Opera is a harmonious combination of the Grand Opera, ballet and acrobatics （杂技），consisting of dance, dialogue and martial arts.

The Peking Opera band mainly consists of an orchestra and percussion（打击乐器）band. The former frequently accompanies peaceful scenes while the latter provides the right atmosphere for battle scenes. The orchestral instruments include the Erhu, Huqin, Yueqin, Sheng, Pipa and other instruments. The band usually sits on the left side of the stage.
