In today’s class we’ll be examining some nineteenth-century pattern books that were used for building houses. I think it’s fair to say that these pattern books were the most important influence on the design of North American houses during the nineteenth century.
This was because most people who wanted to build a house couldn’t afford to hire an architect. Instead, they bought a pattern book, picked out a plan, and took it to the builder. The difference in cost was substantial. In 1870, for example, hiring an architect would’ve cost about a hundred dollars. At the same time, a pattern book written by an architect cost only five dollars.
At that price, it’s easy to see why pattern books were so popular. Some are back in print again today, and of course they cost a lot more than they did a hundred years ago. But they’re an invaluable resource for historians, and also for people who restore old houses. I have a modern reprint here that I’ll be passing around the room in a moment so that everyone can have a look.
1. What was in pattern books?
2. What course would this talk be most appropriate for?
3. According to the speaker, why were pattern books so popular?
4. According to the speaker, who uses pattern books today?
选项
A、There was a shortage of architects.
B、They included plans for elaborate houses.
C、Builders could not work without one.
D、They were relatively inexpensive.
答案
D
解析
关于“设计模型书”流行的原因,是说话者阐述的一个重点内容。大多数想建房的人由于雇不起建筑师,于是才去买书,先选出一个样式,然后再请建筑工人照着去建房。说话者还以1870年的实际价格为例进行了说明。可见,价格便宜是这种书流行的主要原因。
