About 30 years ago, an enormous number of visitors caused a series of problems because the Louvre’s original main entrance could not handle too many visitors. In 1983, French President François Mitterrand laid out the plan to renovate the building. Architect I. M. Pei was awarded the project. At the center of the courtyard he designed a glass and steel pyramid and created an underground lobby beneath it to serve as the main entrance. The pyramid triggered considerable controversy. Some people liked the contrasting styles between the old and the new, the classical and the ultra-modern. However, many people didn’t feel that way. For example, one opponent said in a nationalistic overtone, “I am surprised that one would go looking for a Chinese architect in America to deal with the historic heart of the capital of France.” Despite the opposition, Pei still considered the pyramid as the most suitable for the Louvre. Soon, Pei and his team won the support of several key cultural icons, including the conductor Pierre Boulez and Claude Pompidou, widow of former French President Georges Pompidou. Pei also accepted a suggestion and placed a full-sized cable model of the pyramid in the courtyard. Some critics eased their opposition after witnessing the proposed scale of the pyramid. The new Louvre courtyard was opened to the public on October 14, 1988, and the Pyramid entrance was opened the following March. By this time, public opinion had softened on the new installation. As time went by, more and more people praised the marvelous design. The Louvre Pyramid has become Pei’s most famous structure. 48. What is the passage mainly about? (A) The influence of the idea of designing museum entrance. (B) The style of the Louvre Pyramid. (C) The process of how the Louvre Pyramid became acceptable. (D) The successful career of a Chinese architect. 49. We can infer from the passage that . (A) the new entrance of the Louvre Museum was opened in March, 1990 (B) the idea of the Pyramid entrance came from Egyptian architects (C) the Louvre Museum is the world’s most visited museum (D) the experience of this design was exhausting for Pei, but also rewarding 50. What did Pei do in an attempt to ease public anger? (A) He accepted some constructive advice. (B) He held a press conference to make explanations. (C) He changed his designing idea. (D) He explained his design to many famous cultural celebrities. 共7頁. 第 7 頁.
