In the last third of the nineteenth century a new housing form was quietly being developed. In 1869 the Stuyvesant, considered New York’s first apartment house was built on East Eighteenth Street. The building was financed by the developer Rutherfurd Stuyvesant and designed by Richard Morris Hunt, the first American architect to graduate from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. Each man had lived in Paris, and each understood the economics and social potential of this Parisian housing form. But the Stuyvesant was at best a limited success. In spite of Hunt’s inviting faỗade, the living space
2. was awkwardly arranged. Those who could afford them were quite content to remain in the more sumptuous, single-family homes, leaving the Stuyvesant to young married couples and bachelors. The fundamental problem with the Stuyvesant and the other early apartment buildings that quickly followed, in the 1870’s and early 1880’s was that they were confined to the typical New York building lot. That lot was a rectangular area 25 feet wide by 100 feet deep – a shape perfectly suited for a row house. The lot could also accommodate a rectangular tenement, though it could not yield the square, well-lighted, and logically arranged rooms that great apartment buildings require. But even with the awkward interior configurations of the early apartment buildings, the idea caught on. It met the needs of a large and growing population that wanted something better than tenements but could not afford or did not want row houses. So while the city’ s newly emerging social leadership commissioned their mansions, apartment houses and hotels began to sprout in multiple lots, thus breaking the initial space constraints. In the closing decades of the nineteenth century, large apartment houses began dotting the developed portions of New York City, and by the opening decades of the twentieth century, spacious buildings, such as the Dakota and the Ansonia finally transcended the tight confinement of row house building lots. From there it was only a small step to building luxury apartment houses on the newly created Park Avenue, right next to the fashionable Fifth Avenue shopping area. 13: The new housing form discussed in the passage refers to ___. A. apartment buildings B. hotels C. single-family homes D. row houses 14: Why was the Stuyvesant a limited success? A. There were no shopping areas nearby. B. The arrangement of the rooms was not convenient. C. Most people could not afford to live there. D. It was in a crowded neighborhood. 15: The word “sumptuous” in line 7 is closest in meaning to ___. A. distant B. unique C. modern D. luxurious 16: It can be inferred that the majority of people who lived in New York’s first apartments were ___. A. unemployed B. wealthy C. highly educated D. young 17: It can be inferred that a New York apartment building in the 1870’s and 1880’s had all of the following characteristics EXCEPT: A. Its room arrangement was not logical. B. It was spacious inside. C. It had limited light. D. It was rectangular. 18: Why did the idea of living in an apartment become popular in the late 1800’s? A. Large families needed housing with sufficient space. B. The city officials of New York wanted housing that was centrally located. C. Apartments were preferable to tenements and cheaper than row houses. D. The shape of early apartments could accommodate a variety of interior designs. 19: The author mentions the Dakota and the Ansonia in paragraph 3 because ___. A. they were built on a single building lot B. their design is similar to that of row houses C. they are examples of large, well designed apartment buildings D. they are famous hotels Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 20 to 27. Beads were probably the first durable ornaments humans possessed, and the intimate relationship they had with their owners is reflected in the fact that beads are among the most common items found in ancient archaeological sites. In the past, as today, men, women, and children adorned themselves with beads. In some cultures still, certain beads are often worn from birth until death, and then are buried with their owners for the afterlife. Abrasion due to daily wear alters the surface features of beads, and if they are buried for long, the effects of corrosion can further change their appearance. Thus, interest is imparted to the bead both by use and the effects of time. Besides their wearability, either as jewelry or incorporated into articles of attire, beads possess the desirable characteristics of every collectible: they are durable, portable, available in infinite variety, and often valuable in their original cultural context as well as in today's market. Pleasing to look at and touch, beads come in shapes, colors, and materials that almost compel one to handle them and to sort them. Beads are miniature bundles of secrets waiting to be revealed: their history, manufacture, cultural context, economic role, and ornamental use are all points of information one hopes to unravel. Even the most mundane beads may have traveled great distances and been exposed to many human experiences. The bead researcher must gather information from
3. many diverse fields. In addition to having to be a generalist while specializing in what may seem to be a narrow field, the researcher is faced with the problem of primary materials that have little or no documentation. Many ancient beads that are of ethnographic interest have often been separated from their original cultural context. The special attractions of beads contribute to the uniqueness of bead research. While often regarded as the "small change of civilizations,” beads are a part of every culture, and they can often be used to date archaeological sites and to designate the degree of mercantile, technological, and cultural sophistication. 20: What is the main subject of the passage? A. Materials used in making beads B. Different types of beads C. How beads are made D. The reasons for studying beads 21: The word "attire" in line 8 is closest in meaning to ___.
