【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: I think I've finally decided what to write in my paper. It's a new museum right near the Capitol Building in Washington D. C. M: Really? I picked a museum too, a science museum up in Alberta, Canada. They look sort of like spaceship. W: Say, I read about that. It was built about 20 years ago and I think by the same architect who designed the building I'm interested in. Douglas Cardinal. M: That's him! But I can't image Cardinal designing anything in the traditional classical style of the Capitol. W: Well, this new structure has to fit in with the architecture of the Capitol, but its style is anything but traditional. I don't mean that it's one of those big glass boxes they call modem architecture though. Instead of rectangles and straight lines, this building has rounded free form shapes and sweeping curves. It's supposed to represent the natural forms like the Canyon cliffs in the western states, rock formations that were shaped by water and the wind. M: Sounds fantastic. But I wonder why that sort of style would be chosen for a building in Washington D. C. W: That's easy. This place is called National Museum of the American Indian. And it's devoted to exhibits of Native American cultures, including those of the west. And for Cardinal this is his own family heritage too. And in designing this museum he was careful to respect the various Native American values and traditions, like paying attentions to the directions of winds and the position of the sun in different seasons of the year. M: Wow, an untraditional building, designed to show case some of North American's oldest traditions. Interesting! What is the discussion mainly about? 对话后面女士说，她们所谈论的地方就是National Museum of the American Indian(美国印第安人国家博物馆)。选项C符合题意，故选C。D选项干扰性较强。虽然本对话多次提到Douglas Cardinal，但主要谈论的还是他设计的建筑，故排除选项D。
