While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).
Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. That is only evidence that traditions once existed, he said.
Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, he said.
Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.

解析：本题属于推理果断题，难度较大。经由过程审题可知，本题要从Wang的概念，揣度咱们应当对中国的传统做些甚么。有同窗会定位到句子Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums处，按照句意揣度，选择了A.这类阐发思绪不存在问题，之以是选不合错误谜底在于：对付认为概念的熟悉类标题，不克不及鼓动勉励阐发其一句话，要把他的谈吐综合斟酌，找到重心地点，也不克不及过分推理。也要紧扣中间，领会弦外之音。Wang的概念在最后三段，归纳综合其概念重要体如今两句话：Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums和The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty.而重点在于第二句话：对传统的钻研应与实践相连系。不然，传统的再缔造将是报酬的和浮泛的。而这句话与D表意一致。故选D.
