2. While the practitioners of the English () of Landscape were using a limited range of plant species, a few botanical gardens and, of course, the traditional cottage () contained a wider range.

In 1765the collection at Whitton, near Hounslow, listed 342different plant species, and by 1768the Royal garden at Kew had over 3000different () with the precise figure of 5535in 1789. More interesting to planting design, however, was the record of Dr. John Fothergill’sgarden laid out in 1762at Upton House, East Ham, because this included a wild area in which hardy exotics successfully naturalized. Dr. Fothergill also () alpine plants.
F. garden G. commenced H. School I. cultivated J. species
IV. Reading comprehension questions (2points for each one, total is 20points) 1. Questions 26to 30are based on the following passage.
In 1887a professor of mental and moral philosophy, Grant Allen, published an analysis of aesthetics called Physiological Aesthetics. Today this little classic is virtually forgotten, but if a copy can be found, I commend it to all. The aesthetic conclusions were
geared to the emotions of the day and to us now seem horribly sentimental, but the scientific method is unanswerable. It explains the hostility of modern man to what he feels is a soul-less, machine-made environment, and is a basic guide to landscape. From this primitive treasure house my own first choice is the power of stereoscopic vision to create feeling as well as sight in environment, how we can and should design for it, and how a felt foreground will connect our psyche to middle and far distance. But of course the perceptions are only a technical part in the long manufacture of the emotions in that marvellous green and restless habitat. In a period described as the golden age of the mammals, we were vegetarian, peace-loving and monarchs. No wonder the irrational parts of us hanker for that carefree if cruel existence, which created our basic sense of beauty and subconsciously inspires most private gardens today.
26. A good title for this passage is ().
A. Physiological aesthetics B. Aesthetic development in landscape architecture C. the history of physiological aesthetics. D. the history of landscape. :
27. The word “geared”in the paragraph means ().
A. To become adjusted so as to fit or blend B. To equip with gears. C. To connect by gears. D. To put into gear.
28. The word “stereoscopic”in the paragraph means ().
A. relating to seeing space three-dimensionally as a result of binocular disparity. B. formed by a stereoscope C. relating to a stereoscope D. of a stereoscope
29. The word “vegetarian”in the paragraph means ().
A. a person who advocates or practises vegetarianism B. Cookery C. consisting of vegetables and fruit only D. Consisting primarily or wholly of vegetables and vegetable products
30. The word “monarch”in the paragraph means ().
A. people B. human C. student D. animal
2. Questions 31to 35are based on the following passage.
Ruins must be maintained and measures necessary for the permanent conservation and protection of architectural features and of objects discovered must be taken. Furthermore, every means must be taken to facilitate the understanding of the monument and to reveal it without ever distorting its meaning. All reconstruction work should however be ruled out “apriori”.Only anastylosis, that is to say, the reassembling
of existing but dismembered parts can be permitted. The material used for integration should always be recognizable and its use should be the least that will ensure the conservation of a monument and the reinstatement of its form.
31. The word “ruin ”in the paragraph means ().
A. something that is severely damaged B . a person who has suffered a downfall C.
destroyed or decayed building or town D. loss of value or usefulness
32. The word “conservation ”in the paragraph means ().
A. protection, preservation, and careful management of natural resources and of the environment B. maintenance C. The maintenance of a physical quantity D. the principles of democracy
33. The word “anastylosis”in the paragraph means (). A. reassembly B. archaeology, C. repeat D. reproduce
34. The word “dismembered ”in the paragraph means ().
A. to remove the limbs or members of B. to cut to pieces C. to divide or partition D. dissected
35. The word “reinstatement ”in the paragraph means ().
A. restoration
B. recover
C. restart
D. conversation
V. Translation (Pleasetranslate the following passages into Chinese. 10points for each one, total is 30points)
1. The master plan, the next step in the design process, is a refinement of the preliminary master plan. After gaining the reactions of the client from the preliminary master plan, the designer may need to revise and restudy certain portions of the proposal. With these changes included, the designer once again draws the site plan in a presentable fashion. One of the primary differences between a preliminary master plan and a master plan, in addition to the necessary design revisions, is the graphic style of each. While the preliminary master plan is drawn in loose, freehand, yet legible manner, the master plan is typically drawn with more control and refinement, as in Figure. 9.1. Rather than drawn entirely freehand, the master plan may have certain parts such as the property line, building outline, and edges of hard structural elements (walls,terrace, walks, decks, etc.) drafted with a triangle and T-square. However, other elements such as plant materials are still drawn freehand. To give the plan a controlled appearance, more time is usually spent drawing the master plan compared with the preliminary master plan.
2. Modern urban problems are no different, in essence, from those that plagued ancient cities, execpt in degree, in the toxicity and persistence of new contaminants, and in the extent of the earth that is now urbanized. Even those who have sought to introduce nature to the city in the form of parks and gardens have frequently viewed the city as something foreign to nature, have seen themselves as bringing a piece of nature to the city.
3. The cypress avenue was another form of planting and directed attention to a view beyond the garden or to some feature in the garden, and to a certain extent reduced the strong visual effect of planting arranged to form a pattern. The association between the landscape designs of the Far East and the natural landscape is familiar to those interested in the history of landscapes, especially in the stylized simulation of mountain and river landscapes, and also the philosophy embodied in this association.
