II. READING

PART A: READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS.

Victorian style is a broad term that refers to the characteristics of design from the latter period of Queen Victoria's rule, from 1837
until her death in 1901. At the time, the style was used as a signal of affluence among the upper class of British society due to its ornate,
showy interiors. Today, it is still popular across the globe; particularly in Asia, where it is used to create opulent spaces that convey a
high position in society.
One of the principles of Victorian design is that unused space in a room is a sign of poor taste and lower economic status. With that
in mind, European designers sought to fill every space. Victorian design has sometimes been viewed as indulging in a grand excess of
ornament. Every room was decorated with objects that reflected the owner’s influences and preferences. Extravagant decorations, lace
tablecloths, stained glass, vases, busts, framed paintings or prints, multi-layered window treatments, richly patterned fabrics, and
accessories were used throughout the house. The Victorian Hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia, exemplifies the classic Victorian Style.
Chandeliers hang from the ceiling, vases with fresh flowers dot every table, and the dining room features elaborately carved furniture and
decorative teapots made of china. It is elegantly appointed, true to the Victorian style. This hotel often hosts the royal family when they
visit Canada.
Emblematic of a Victorian home was the use of vibrant, brightly colored fabrics. Complex patterns covered every surface. Oriental
rugs and heavy draperies were thought of as the height of good taste. Windows were rarely left uncovered; rather, on them hung thick,
decorative drapes. The lack of light that could enter rooms through these heavy draperies was compensated for with eye-catching
appointments of velvet, silk, and satin. Linen patterns ranged from flowers and animals to geometric shapes, stripes, and woven Arabic
symbols: squares and circles, typically repeated, overlapped and interlaced to form intricate patterns. Victorians loved these patterns
and used them liberally.
The decoration of walls and ceilings was yet another element of Victorian design. Ceilings were covered in embossed paper or
painted a light color so as not to detract from the wall decorations. Wallpaper became enormously popular and is an enduring feature of
Victorian design. At first, this was because of the development of mass production as well as the repeal of the 1712 Wallpaper Tax.
Wallpaper was decorated with beautiful flowers in primary colors of red, blue, and yellow, printed on beige paper. This was followed by
the latter half of the Victorian era when wallpaper was inspired by Gothic art of earth tones and stylized leaf and floral patterns. William
Morris was one of the most renowned designers of wallpaper and fabrics during this period. He was influenced by medieval art, which he
saw as the noblest art form, and used Gothic tapestries from that era in his work.
