Architects are hopeless when it comes
to deciding whether the public will view their designs as marvels or
monstrosities, according to a study by Canadian psychologists. They say
designers should go back to school to learn about ordinary people’s
tastes. Many buildings that appeal to architects get the thumbs
down from the public. Robert Gifford of the University of Victoria in British
Columbia decided to find out whether architects understand public preferences
and simply disagree with them, or fail to understand the lay person’s
view. With his colleague Graham Brown, he asked 25 experienced
architects to look at photos of 42 large buildings in the US, Canada, Europe and
Hong Kong. The architects predicted how the public would rate the buildings on a
scale of 1 to 10, where 1 represented "terrible” and 10"excellent". A fur A. the three groups had similar responses to the photos of 42 large buildings B. the architects generally rated buildings lower than lay people C. the architects predicted precisely the preferences of lay people D. no architect could predict the public tastes towards buildings accurately

[单项选择] Passage Five
International ocean shipping
constitutes a highly significant aspect of world economic and political
relationships. The rapid growth in world trade and the emergence of new national
entities in the last 30 years have further emphasized the role of international
shipping. Because of the generally free environment in which it has operated,
the industry is highly mobile and flexible—characteristics that, together with
technological progress, have facilitated the rapid growth in world
trade. In recent years, however, there have been several
technological and institutional developments that are likely to have major
efforts on the industry. One of the latter is the aggregation of conventions and
practices known as the Law of the Sea, which has been discussed in the United
Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea since 1958. The third A. the conventional principles emphasize the climate of the oceans B. the conventional principles determine the structure of international shipping in the future C. the conventional principles will be replaced by the new ones D. the conventional principles are out of date now
