◆0928 GRE閱讀第一篇命中：Architectural Morphology建築形態學(本篇英文原題)
Architectural morphology is the study of how shifting cultural and environmental
conditions produce changes in an architectural form. When applied to the mission
churches of New Mexico exemplifying seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Spanish
colonial architecture in what is now the southwestern United States,
architectural morphology reveals much about how Native American culture
transformed the traditional European church architecture of the Spanish
missionaries who hoped to convert Native Americans to Christianity.
Many studies of these mission churches have carefully documented the history and
design of their unique architectural form, most attribute the churches' radical
departure from their sixteenth-century European predecessors to local climate
and a less-mechanized building technology. Certainly, the limitations imposed by
manual labor and the locally available materials of mud-brick and timber
necessitated a divergence from the original European church model. However, the
emergence of a church form suited to life in the Southwest was rooted in
something more fundamental than material and technique. The new architecture
resulted from cultural forces in both the Spanish colonial and indigenous Native
American societies, each with competing ideas about form and space and different
ways of conveying these ideas symbolically.
For example, the mission churches share certain spatial qualities with the
indigenous kiva, a round, partly subterranean room used by many Southwest Native
American communities for important rituals. Like the kiva it was intended to
replace, the typical mission church had thick walls of adobe (sun-dried earth
and straw), a beaten-earth floor, and one or two small windows. In deference to
European custom, the ceilings of these churches were higher than those of the
traditional kiva. However, with the limited lighting afforded by their few small
windows, these churches still suggest the kiva's characteristically low,
boxlike, earth-hugging interior. Thus, although pragmatic factors of
construction may have contributed to the shape of the mission churches, as
earlier studies suggest, the provision of a sacred space consistent with
indigenous traditions may also have been an important consideration in their
design.
kiva
The continued viability of the kiva itself in Spanish mission settlements has
also been underestimated by historians. Freestanding kivas discovered in the
ruins of European-style missionary communities have been explained by some
historians as examples of "superposition." Under this theory, Christian
domination over indigenous faiths is dramatized by surrounding the kiva with
Christian buildings. However, as James Ivey points out, such superposition was
unlikely, since historical records indicate that most Spanish missionaries,
arriving in the Southwest with little or no military support, wisely adopted a
somewhat conciliatory attitude toward the use of the kiva at least initially.
This fact, and the careful, solitary placement of the kiva in the center of the
mission-complex courtyards, suggests an intention to highlight the importance of
the kiva rather than to diminish it.
幫同學奉上原題與正解：
1. The primary purpose of the passage is to
correct some misinterpretations about the development of an architectural form
2. The passage suggests that the indicated historians regarded the placement of
kivas in the midst of Christian buildings as which of the following?
Reflective of the Spanish missionaries' desire to diminish the kiva's
importance.
3. Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument about the
Spanish missionaries' attitude toward the kiva?
There are no traces of kivas in Spanish mission settlements that were protected
by a large military presence.
4. According to the passage, the building techniques prevailing in the Southwest
during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries played a role in which of the
following?
Preventing missionaries in the Southwest from duplicating traditional European
churches
◆0928 GRE閱讀第二篇命中：Fanny Fern 芬妮方(本篇英文原題)
Before feminist literary criticism emerged in the 1970s, the nineteenth-century
United States writer Fanny Fern was regarded by most critics (when considered at
all) as a prototype of weepy sentimentalism-a pious, insipid icon of
conventional American culture. Feminist reclamations of Fern, by contrast,
emphasize her "non-sentimental" qualities, particularly her sharply humorous
social criticism. Most feminist scholars find it difficult to reconcile Fern's
sardonic social critiques with her effusive celebrations of many conventional
values. Attempting to resolve this contradiction, Harris concludes that Fern
employed "flowery rhetoric" strategically to disguise her subversive goals
beneath apparent conventionality. However, Tompkins proposes an alternative view
of sentimentality itself, suggesting that sentimental writing could serve
radical, rather than only conservative, ends by swaying readers emotionally,
moving them to embrace social change.
幫同學奉上原題與正解：
1. Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
The passage suggests which of the following about the "contradiction" mentioned
in the highlighted sentence?
It was not generally addressed by critics before the 1970s.
It has troubled many feminist critics who study Fern.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that Tompkins would be most likely to
agree with which of the following about the "critics" mentioned in the passage?
They wrongly assume that "sentimental" must be a pejorative term.
