摘要:16.Which of the following styles of architecture is true of Wright’s “grass-land houses ? A.The houses appear to stand on the horizon . B.The houses are built mainly on the grass-land C.The houses have many lines that form a right angle (角)with the horizon D.The houses are special in style with lines similar to those on the grass-land E There is probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear .The dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed .Traditionally ,a concern for clothes was considered to be an affair of females ,while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking in clothes consciousness. This type of American culture is by degrees changing as man dress takes on greater variety and color .Even as early as 1955,a researcher in Michigan said that men attached rather high importance to the value of clothing in daily life .White-collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbolof ability ,which could be used to impress or influence others ,especially in the work situation .The white-collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his superiors .Although blue-collar workers were less awarethat they might be judged on the basis of their clothing ,they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of dress would be made fun of by fellow workers . Since that time ,of course ,the patterns have changed :the typical office worker may now be wearing the blue shirt ,and the laborer a white shirt ;but the importance of dress has not become less .Other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups .

Frank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced. He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also practical and useful. They fit their purposes very well. Wright’s churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable at home. However, Fank Lloyd Wright’s beautiful, practical and useful buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason.

Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wright’s buildings do not look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wright’s ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.

The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Style of Architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it . His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wright’s house are parallel(平行的)to the horizon, the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90°angles with the horizon.

    A. learned from some European countries

    B. not only limited to the U.S

    C. no longer popular

    D. somewhat similar to the European style

    A. They were very large and beautiful.

    B. They were very comfortable.

    C. They could be used as churches.

    D. They were beautiful in design but not practical in use.

  B. A building must have grassland around it.

  C. American style in architect should be different from the European’s

  D. Design should be more important than use.
