题目

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What makes a work of architecture great? Most people would argue that aesthetics are the most important. However, Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio believed that we should also consider durability and function when assessing a structure. The Rostonville Library in my city is a great example of Vitruvius's principles. Constructed entirely of granite — a hard and tough stone, the library is durable. It can withstand environmental pollution. For example, it is resistant to acid rain. Moreover, its granite structure is stable so it's more likely to survive an earthquake. It uses solar energy for heating and a rooftop garden for cooling. Providing free access to print and digital information, it conveys a feeling of openness and accessibility. Furthermore, the entire library is on one level, and it has an open design — there are no inner walls or dividers. In addition, large windows let in plenty of natural light, so it's easy to see and get to each department within the library. Finally, the library is beautiful, with aesthetically pleasing details both inside and out. The large windows are copper-framed (铜框的). The copper color provides an interesting contrast against the color of the granite structure and it will remain as the copper ages. Growth from the rooftop garden, which reaches down the sides of the building, adds to the aesthetics of the building. Durability, functionality and beauty make the Rostonville Library a great structure. Architects who follow Vitruvius's principles help to make the city more pleasant to live in. A. The library is also sustainable. B. It is true that beauty is critical. C. This is not the only concern of the architects. D. The library was designed with functionality in mind. E. It softens the lines of the structure and helps it to fit into its natural surroundings. F. Plus, the library was built on the edge of the city park, surrounded by native plants. G. Buildings that fulfill these criteria offer both peace of mind and beauty for their users. 答案：【1】B【2】A【3】D【4】E【5】G
