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”可知该奖是世界建筑奖中的最高奖项。 (2)A 文章第四段“. . . like a history book which tells you what life was in the past”，由此可知王澍设计的博物馆，由于使用了古代的建筑物材料，就像一本历史书，让人们重新回到古代。 (3)D 根据文章第四段可推知很多游客前来参观，因此可知宁波历史博物馆是当地的一大景点。 (4)C 文章第一段末句说“. . . and the fourth-youngest”，由此可知王澍是获得该奖的第四位最年轻的建筑师，而不是第四位获此殊荣的人，故C项表述与文章不符。 (5)C 通读全文可知，文章介绍了王澍获得世界最高建筑奖的情况，因此《王澍获得2012年普利兹克建筑奖》能概括文章的大意。
