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.

The end of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century were marked by the development of an international Art Nouveau style, characterized by sinuous lines, floral and vegetable motifs, and soft evanescent coloration. The Art Nouveau style was an eclectic one, bringing together elements of Japanese art, motifs of ancient cultures, and natural forms. The glass objects of this style were elegant in outline, although often deliberately distorted, with pale or iridescent surfaces. A favored device of the style was to imitate the iridescent surface seen on ancient glass that had been buried. Much of the Art Nouveau glass produced during the years of its greatest popularity had been generically termed “art glass.” Art glass was intended for decorative purposes and relied for its effect on carefully chosen color combinations and innovative techniques.

France produced a number of outstanding exponents of the Art Nouveau style; among the most celebrated was Emile Galle (1846–1904). In the United States, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1843–1933) was the most noted exponent of this style, producing a great variety of glass forms and surfaces, which were widely copied in their time and are highly prized today. Tiffany was a brilliant designer, successfully combining ancient Egyptian, Japanese, and Persian motifs.

The Art Nouveau style was a major force in the decorative arts from 1895 until 1915, although its influence continued throughout the mid–1920’s.It was eventually to be overtaken by a new school of thought known as Functionalism that had been present since the turn of the century. At first restricted to a small avant–garde group of architects and designers, Functionalism emerged as the dominant influence upon designers after the First World War. The basic tenet of the movement–that function should determine form–was not a new concept. Soon a distinct aesthetic code evolved: from should be simple, surfaces plain, and any ornament should be based on geometric relationships. This new design concept, coupled with the sharp postwar reactions to the styles and conventions of the preceding decades, created an entirely new public taste which caused Art Nouveau types of glass to fall out of favor. The new taste demanded dramatic effects of contrast, stark outline and complex textural surfaces.

The word “one” refers to______.

A. century.

B. development.

C. style.

D. coloration.

Đáp án:A

Dịch bài đọc:

Cuối của thế kỷ XIX và những năm đầu của thế kỷ XX đã được đánh dấu bằng sự phát triển của một phong cách Art Nouveau quốc tế, đặc trưng bởi những đường uốn khúc, họa tiết hoa văn và thực vật, và màu sắc mềm mại. Phong cách Art Nouveau là một phong cách rộng, kết hợp các yếu tố của nghệ thuật Nhật Bản, các họa tiết văn hóa cổ đại và các hình thức tự nhiên. Các đồ vật bằng kính theo phong cách này rất thanh lịch, mặc dù thường xuyên bị méo mó, với các bề mặt nhợt nhạt hoặc óng ánh. Một mưu kế ưa thích của phong cách là bắt chước bề mặt óng ánh nhìn thấy trên kính cổ xưa đã được chôn cất. Phần lớn kính nghệ thuật được sản xuất trong những năm phổ biến nhất của nó được gọi chung là “Kính nghệ thuật.” Kính nghệ thuật được thiết kế cho mục đích trang trí và dựa vào hiệu ứng của nó trên các kết hợp màu được lựa chọn cẩn thận và kỹ thuật sáng tạo.

Pháp có một số người nổi bật trong phong cách Art Nouveau; trong số những người đó nổi tiếng nhất là Emile Galle (1846-1904). Tại Hoa Kỳ, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1843-1933) là người được ghi nhận nhiều nhất về phong cách này, tạo ra nhiều dạng kính và bề mặt, được sao chép rộng rãi trong thời điểm đó và được đánh giá cao trong ngày nay. Tiffany là một nhà thiết kế tuyệt vời, kết hợp thành công các họa tiết Ai Cập, Nhật Bản và Ba Tư cổ đại.

Phong cách Art Nouveau là một lực lượng lớn trong nghệ thuật trang trí từ năm 1895 đến năm 1915, mặc dù ảnh hưởng của nó vẫn tiếp tục trong suốt giữa những năm 1920. Nó cuối cùng đã bị vượt qua bởi một trường phái tư tưởng mới được gọi là Thuyết chức năng đã có mặt kể từ khi chuyển giao thế kỷ. Ban đầu bị giới hạn bởi một nhóm các kiến trúc sư và nhà thiết kế tiên phong nhỏ, Thuyết chức năng nổi lên như là ảnh hưởng thống trị của các nhà thiết kế sau Chiến tranh thế giới thứ nhất. Nguyên lý cơ bản của chuyển động- chức năng nên xác định hình thức - không phải là một khái niệm mới. Chẳng bao lâu một mã thẩm mỹ khác biệt đã tiến hóa: từ đơn giản, bề mặt trơn, và bất kỳ vật trang trí nào cũng nên dựa trên các mối quan hệ hình học. Khái niệm thiết kế mới này, cùng với những phản ứng mạnh mẽ sau chiến tranh đối với phong cách và quy ước của những thập niên trước, tạo ra một thị hiếu công chúng hoàn toàn mới khiến các loại kính nghệ thuật không còn được yêu thích. Thị hiếu mới đòi hỏi những hiệu ứng ấn tượng của độ tương phản, đường viền hoàn toàn và bề mặt kết cấu phức tạp.

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.

The term “art deco” has come to encompass three distinct but related design trends of the 1920’s and 1930’s. The first was what is frequently referred to as “zigzag moderne” – the exotically ornamental style of such skyscrapers as the Chrysler Building in New York City and related structures such as the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California. The word “zigzag” alludes to the geometric and stylized ornamentation of zigzags, angular patterns, abstracted plant and animal motifs, sunbursts, astrological imagery, formalized fountains, and related themes that were applied in mosaic relief and mural form to the exterior and interior of the buildings. Many of these buildings were shaped in the ziggurat form, a design resembling an ancient Mesopotamian temple tower that recedes in progressively smaller stages to the summit, creating a staircase-like effect.

            The second manifestation of art deco was the 1930’s “streamlined moderne” style—a Futuristic-looking aerodynamic style of rounded corners and horizontal bands known as “speed stripes.” In architecture, these elements were frequently accompanied by round windows, extensive use of glass block, and flat rooftops.

            The third style, referred to as “international stripped classicism” also came to the forefront during the Depression, a period of severe economic difficult in the 1930’s. This was a more conservative style, blending a simplified modernistic style with a more austere form of geometric and stylized relief sculpture and other ornament, including interior murals. May buildings in this style were erected nationwide through government programs during the Depression .

            Although art deco in its many forms was largely perceived as thoroughly modern, it was strongly influenced by the decorative arts movements that immediately preceded it. For example, like “art nouveau” (1890-1910), art deco also used plant motifs, but regularized the forms into abstracted repetitive patterns rather than presenting them as flowing, asymmetrical foliage, Like the Viennese craftspeople of the Wiener Werkstatte, art deco designers worked with exotic materials, geometricized shapes, and colorfully ornate patterns. Furthermore, like the artisans of the Arts and Crafts Movement inEnglandand theUnited States, art deep practitioners considered it their mission to transform the domestic environment through well-designed furniture and household accessories.

According to the passage, which of the following statements most accurately describes the relationship between art deco and art nouveau?

A. Art deco became important in theUnited Stateswhile art nouveau became popular inEngland.

B. Art nouveau preceded art deco and influenced it.

C. They were art forms that competed with each other for government support during the depression era.

D. They were essentially the same art form.

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  39 to 46.

       The term  “art deco” has come to  encompass  three distinct but related design trends  of the 1920‘s and 1930‘s.  The  first  was  what  is  frequently  referred  to  as  “zigzag  moderne”  –the  exotically  ornamental style of such skyscrapers as the Chrysler Building   in New York City and related structures such as the Paramount  Theater  in  Oakland,  California.  The  word  “zigzag” alludes  to  the  geometric  and  stylized ornamentation of  zigzags, angular patterns, abstracted plant and animal  motifs,  sunbursts, astrological imagery, formalized fountains, and related themes that were applied in mosaic relief  and mural form to the exterior and interior of the buildings. Many of these buildings were   shaped in the ziggurat form, a design resembling an ancient Mesopotamian temple tower that recedes in progressively smaller stages to the summit, creating a staircase-like effect.

        The second manifestation of art deco was the 1930‘s  “streamlined moderne” style—a  Futuristic-looking aerodynamic  style of rounded corners and  horizontal  bands known as  “speed  stripes” In architecture, these  elements were frequently accompanied by round  windows, extensive use of glass block, and flat rooftops.

        The third style, referred to as    “international  stripped classicism”  also came to the forefront  during the Depression,  a  period  of  severe  economic  difficult  in  the  1930‘s.  This  was  a  more  conservative  style, blending  a  simplified  modernistic  style  with  a  more  austere  form  of  geometric  and  stylized  relief sculpture  and  other  ornament,  including  interior  murals.  May  buildings  in  this  style  were  erected  nationwide through government programs during the Depression .

       Although  art  deco  in  its  many  forms  was  largely  perceived  as  thoroughly  modern,  it  was  strongly influenced  by  the  decorative  arts  movements  that  immediately  preceded   it.  For  example,  like  “art nouveau”  (1890-1910),  art  deco  also  used  plant  motifs,  but   regularized  the  forms  into  abstracted repetitive  patterns  rather  than  presenting  them  as  flowing,  asymmetrical  foliage,  Like  the  Viennese craftspeople of the Wiener Werkstatte,  art deco designers worked with exotic materials, geometricized shapes, and colorfully ornate patterns. Furthermore, like the artisans of the Arts and Crafts Movement in England  and  the  United  States,  art  deep  practitioners  considered  it  their  mission  to  transform  the domestic environment through well-designed furniture and household accessories.

The streamlined  moderne style is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT ………..

A. animal motifs     

B. flat roofs      

C. round windows      

D. “speed stripes”
