Bài 7 - 7Read the following passage on architecture by Lawrence B Anderson, and mark the letter A, B, C, or
D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 67 to 75 Architecture is
the practice of building design and its resulting products; customary usage refers only to those designs and structures that are culturally significant Architecture is to building as literature is to the printed word Vitruvius,
a 1st –century BC Roman, wrote encyclopedically about architecture, and the English poet Sir Henry Wotton was quoting him in his charmingly phrased dictum: “Well building hath three conditions: Commoditie,
Firmenes, and Delight.” More prosaically, one would say today that architecture must satisfy its intended uses, must be technically sound, and must convey aesthetic meaning But the best buildings are often so well constructed that they outlast their original use They then survive not only as beautiful objects, but as
documents of the history of cultures, achievements in architecture that testify to the nature of the society that produced them These achievements are never wholly the work of individuals Architecture is a social art Architectural form is inevitably influenced by the technologies applied, but building technology is conservative and knowledge about it is cumulative Precast concrete, for instance, has not rendered brick obsolete
Although design and construction have become highly sophisticated and are often computer directed, this complex apparatus rests on preindustrial traditions inherited from millennia during which most structures were lived in by the people who erected them The technical demands on building remain the elemental ones – to exclude enemies, to circumvent gravity, and to avoid discomforts caused by an excess of heat or cold or by the intrusion of rain, wind, or vermin This is no trivial assignment even with the best modern technology
Trang 4The availability of suitable materials fostered the crafts to exploit them and influenced the shapes of building Large areas of the world were once forested, and their inhabitants developed carpentry Although it has
become relatively scarce, timber remains an important building material
Many kinds of stone lend themselves to building Stone and marble were chosen for important monuments because they are incombustible and can be expected to endure Stone is also a sculptural material; stone architecture was often integral with stone sculpture The use of stone has declined, however, because a number of other materials are more amenable to industrial use and assembly
Some regions lack both timber and stone; their peoples used the earth itself; tamping certain mixtures into walls or forming them into brick to be dried in the sun Later they baked these substances in kilns, producing a
range of bricks and tiles with greater durability
Câu 1 When well-constructed buildings exist longer than their original use, they serve as
A monuments to ancient time heroes B museums and exhibition galleries
C witnesses to major ancient wars D witnesses to their historical times
Câu 2 According to the passage, knowledge about building technology _
A is always influenced by a wide range of technological applications
B has experienced complete changes for generations
C is based on modern technologies rather than traditions
D includes the experience gained from generation to generation
Câu 3 Which of the following factors must be taken into account in both ancient and modern architecture
according to the information in paragraph 2?
A Basic needs and the availability of materials B Fundamental technical demands on building
C Sophisticated building technologies D Basic safety rules in the building industry
Câu 4 According to the passage, today stone has been used less as a building material because
A there have been other more suitable materials for industrial use
B stone architecture is essential to the number of stone sculptures
C it has less influence on the shapes of buildings and sculptures
D it has become relatively scarce and more difficult to exploit
Câu 5 Which of the following is NOT considered an essential characteristic of architecture according to the
passage?
A Strength B Utility C Economy D Beauty

Câu 7 The word “obsolete” in paragraph 2 mostly means _
A out of date B out of place C out of order D out of hand

they _
A make structures look more attractive B are inflammable and endurable
C give warmth and comfort to their owners D are non-flammable and last long

that have
A religious significance B social importance
C technical importance D cultural significance
