14．Frank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced．He was very talented and had a natural ability to design buildings．His buildings were not only beautiful，but they were also functional（實用的）．They fit their purposes very well．Wright's churches，for example，make people feel like thinking and praying．His office buildings make people enjoy working，and his houses make people feel comfortable at home．However，F(xiàn)rank Lloyd Wright's beautiful，functional buildings are not the only reason that he is famous．There is another reason．
Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture．More of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European，not American．Wright's buildings do not look like those in old European States and in other parts of the world．
The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright's style of architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it．His houses are often called"grass-land houses"because their lines are similar to the lines on the grass-land．Both the lines of the grass-land and the lines of Wright's houses are parallel（平行的） to the horizon，the place where the earth and sky seem to meet．

解答 32-35 CDCA
32．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"His buildings were not only beautiful，but they were also functional（實用的）．"可知賴特建筑最重要的特征是設(shè)計美觀而且很實用．故選C．
33．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)"More of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European，not American．"可知在賴特時代之前美國還沒有形成自己的建筑風(fēng)格．故選D．
34．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright's style of architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it．"可知賴特建筑風(fēng)格的重要思想是建筑設(shè)計應(yīng)和周圍環(huán)境相適應(yīng)．故選C．
35．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"His houses are often called"grass-land houses"because their lines are similar to the lines on the grass-land．Both the lines of the grass-land and the lines of Wright's houses are parallel（平行的） to the horizon，"可知Wright's"grass-land houses有很多類似于地平線的線條．故選A．
點評 本文是一篇人物故事類閱讀．此類題型主要考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．細(xì)節(jié)理解題是針對文中某個細(xì)節(jié)、某句話或某部分具體內(nèi)容設(shè)置問題，所以在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時要結(jié)合原文和提干有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細(xì)分析，再結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要聯(lián)系上下文根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
