Answer 1

【答案】
（1）B
（2）A
（3）D
（4）C
（5）C
【解析】(1)B 由文章第一段中“The award is regarded as the Nobel Prize in architecture”可知該獎是世界建筑獎中的最高獎項(xiàng)。 (2)A 文章第四段“. . . like a history book which tells you what life was in the past”，由此可知王澍設(shè)計的博物館，由于使用了古代的建筑物材料，就像一本歷史書，讓人們重新回到古代。 (3)D 根據(jù)文章第四段可推知很多游客前來參觀，因此可知寧波歷史博物館是當(dāng)?shù)氐囊淮缶包c(diǎn)。 (4)C 文章第一段末句說“. . . and the fourth-youngest”，由此可知王澍是獲得該獎的第四位最年輕的建筑師，而不是第四位獲此殊榮的人，故C項(xiàng)表述與文章不符。 (5)C 通讀全文可知，文章介紹了王澍獲得世界最高建筑獎的情況，因此《王澍獲得2012年普利茲克建筑獎》能概括文章的大意。
