第一期：

　　A new Center for Architecture opened in New York, showing publicly-funded urban design projects and starting several days of activities of architecture.

　　Walking around the new 1,100-square-meter Center for Architecture is a bit like taking a guided tour of New York City. Pictures on the walls show the outside of the Firefighter Training Academy, a futuristic room inside the United Nations, a proposed park for downtown Brooklyn. All are city projects, all are publicly funded, and some are surprisingly innovative in their design.

　　The exhibit, called Going Public, focuses mainly on city planning projects.

　　Amanda Burden, head of the New York City Planning Commission, says the exhibit makes the relationship between planners and architects closer.

　　For as long as I can remember, there has been an impenetrable (无法穿越的)wall between planners and architects, she explained. And we planners have said again and again and again, Take down that wall! Today, that wall is down.

　　After September 11, 2001, public interest in the future of New York City buildings increased, especially concerning the future of the World Trade Center site. Representatives of the new Center say the tendency to rebuild great communication between the architectural, engineering, planning and building communities is like never before, and they hope the Center will provide a forum for more interaction.

　　The Center for Architecture also has a library and lecture hall, and is one of the only such institutions in North America. It received $4 million in funding from public contributions and the government, and unlike most architectural centers, it is not affiliated with a university.

　　Deputy Mayor Patricia Harris says the Center will reflect New York Citys diverse (多样的) architecture, both new and old.

　　From the Empire State building to Borough Hall in Brooklyn, New York is rich in architecture, she said. It is up to all of us to keep the tradition of innovative architecture that fills the history of our city.

　　50. According to the text, the exhibit Going Public ________.

　　A. is about the urban architecture B. is related to city planning projects

　　C. depends on the private funds D. focuses on the old buildings in NY

　　51. The new center shows ________ in New York.

　　B. after Sept. 11, 2001, the public was keen on the future of buildings in New York

　　C. the activities of architecture will last for several days in the new center in New York

　　D. there are pictures about the beautiful parks you can visit in downtown Brooklyn
