When was the building being visited constructed?
Many of the buildings in this neighborhood were built a long time ago, but this one we’re about to enter is not quite as old as it looks. It is actually quite a bit younger than most of the other buildings around it. Despite the fact that it was constructed at the turn of the century, the architects who designed it were influenced by European craftsmen of the fifteenth century. Although the blocks appear to be hand chiseled, they were in fact cut that way by a machine. However, this practice of mechanical cutting was discontinued some time before the building was completed in 1904, because workmen charged so much to produce the hand-hewn effect that it became very expensive. The blocks were fastened similarly to a technique that the Romans developed. The technique involved cutting every block into a unique geometrical form which anchored into the previous block. Since every block had to be hand carved, the process was extremely time-consuming. Some might ask why the architects who live in the modern world would seek to copy a kind of architecture from such a long time in the past. Maybe they felt that the five-hundred-year-old buildings were so perfectly refined that there was no other way they could improve upon their beauty. If you look at the building now, it is easy to agree with them.
选项
A、It was inexpensive.
B、It was time-saving.
C、It was elegant.
D、It was well-known.
答案
C
解析
细节题。作者在文末指出之所以采用一项很早以前的技术可能是因为人们发现500年前用这种技术建造的建筑已经极其美观,再也无法想出更好的办法来使其更美了。故C项正确。
