II. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to the questions
below. (1 pt)
The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house. There are many
museums devoted to the decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in
the United States is a great collection displayed in a great country house. Passing
through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private
estate for more than a century. Even after the extensive renovations made to it
between 1929 and 1931, the house remained a family residence. This fact is of
importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum. The impression of a
lived-in house is apparent to the visitor: the rooms look as if they were
vacated only a short while ago whether by the original owners of the furniture or
the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of personal interpretation.
page: 4
Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of furniture and
architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English country house, it is

an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of
displaying it to the visitor, has changed over the years. The changes have
coincided with developing concepts of the American arts, increased knowledge
on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the achievement
of a historical effect in period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have
followed this current, yet still retained the character of a private house.
The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed
gradually over the years in an effort to present works of art in a context that
would show them to greater effect and would give them more meaning for the
viewer. Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history museum, the period
room represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and
provides an opportunity to assemble objects related by style, date, or place of
manufacture.


1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The reason that Winterthur was redesigned.
B. Elements that make Winterthur an unusual museum .
C. How Winterthur compares to English country houses.
D. Historical furniture contained in Winterthur.
2. The phrase "devoted to" in line 2 is closest in meaning to
A. surrounded by.
B. specializing in.
C. successful in.
D. sentimental about.
3. What happened at Winterthur between 1929 and 1931?
A. The owners moved out.
B. The house was repaired.
C. The old furniture was replaced.
D. The estate became a museum.

4. What does the author mean by stating "the impression of a lived-in house
is apparent to the visitor" (lines 7-8)?
A. Winterthur is very old.
B. Few people visit Winterthur.
C. Winterthur does not look like a typical museum.
D. The furniture at Winterthur looks comfortable.
5. The word "assembled" in line 12 is closest in meaning to
A. summoned.
B. appreciated.
C. brought together.
D. fundamentally changed.
III. Read the text below and think of the word which best fits each space. Use
only ONE word in each space. (2 pts)

(1)_______ in Britain. But although longer holidays and shorter working hours
