Part 3: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions. Write your
answers A, B, C or D in the corresponding numbered boxes.
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.
The 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.

and answer the questions from 36 to 50. The options may be chosen more than once. Write your
answers A, B, C or D in the corresponding numbered boxes.
A. KERRY:
I really don't know why this book is so popular. I mean, I suppose it is going to appeal to young girls who
want danger and romance, but I found this book really tedious. For a start, the characters were really
unconvincing. The author went out of her way to add lots of details about the characters, but I found these
details really pointless. I thought that some of the facts she presented about the main characters would
become significant in some way later in the novel, but they didn't. They were just worthless bits of
information. I also was disappointed that, although this book is meant to be about kids at high school, the
writer seems to have no recollection at all about what it's like to be 17. The main character thought and
acted like a 32-year old. It just wasn't believable. I'm not saying Teresa Wilson is a bad writer. She can
obviously string words together and come up with a story that is appealing to a large number of people,
but she lacks anything original. There is no flair. It just uses the same sort of language as you can see in
many other mediocre novels.
B. LIZ:
I have to say that I won't forget this book for a long time. I was hooked from the very first chapter. The
devastating story affected me so much that I don't know if I'll ever feel the same again. I was close to
tears on several occasions. I've got images in my brain now that I don't think will ever leave me. It's
incredibly well-researched and, although it is fiction, is based on shocking real-life events. I learned an
awful lot about things that went on that I never knew before. Margaret Emerson has a brilliant way with
words and I really felt real empathy towards the characters, although I was sometimes irritated by the
choices they made. However, the parallel story, the part that is set in the present, is not quite so good. I
found myself just flicking through that part so that I could get back to 1940s Paris.
C.IMOGEN:
This is a delightful novel full of wonderful imagery, a paints a remarkable picture of life in a distant time
and a far-away place. If you're looking to learn about Eastern culture in great detail, then this is probably
not the book for you, as the writer skims over most of the more complicated aspects of the country's
etiquette. The historical aspects are also not covered in much depth. However, I wonder whether this was
the writer's intention. By doing this, he symbolizes the superficiality of the girl's life. She, like the book,
D.HANNAH:
I read this book for a literature class. I know it's a classic, and I did try to like it, but I just didn't get into
it. I kept persevering, hoping that I'd start to enjoy it, but no such luck. The famous scene out on the
moors was definitely the best bit of the book, but even that I found ridiculous when it is clearly supposed
to be passionate. As I approached the end of the book, I figured there must be some kind of moral to the
story, something that I would learn from the experience of trudging through seven hundred long pages,
but there was nothing worthwhile. I don't know why the literary world sees this book as such a
masterpiece. The characters are portrayed as being intelligent, but they do such stupid things! And as for
it being a love story - marrying someone you don't love and then being abused by them - that doesn't spell
love to me.
