Fantasy Island

Santorini is one of the world's magical tourist destinations. Its dark volcanic sand beaches are circled by rough cliffs and a unique Cycladic architecture of flat roofs, cubic shapes, whitewashed walls and blue-domed churches.

The crescent-shaped Santorini and its neighboring are what remain from an enormous volcanic eruption some 3,600 years ago that destroyed the earliest settlements on a single island and created the caldera, or crater, that forms Santorini's cliffs.

A harmony between built forms and natural environment gives Santorini a unique charm. One outstanding characteristic is Santorini's utilization of hypóskapha: extensions of houses dug sideways or downwards into the surrounding volcanic rock. The resulting rooms are highly the air-filled pumice, staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Many houses are with windows, domes and balconies in cobalt blue. Structures come in a variety of idiosyncratic shapes, lining the tops of rugged cliffs and spilling down the terraced sides.

Firá is the picturesque capital of the island; high up on the edge of the caldera, it looks like a marvelous painting. Firá, together with Oia, Imerovígli and Firostefáni located high on a cliff, make up the so-called "Caldera's eyebrow", the balcony of Santorini which offers an amazing panoramic view over volcanic islands and the Aegean Sea. This is considered one of the most romantic sunset locations in the world and makes a popular location for marriage proposals. Santorini has a growing reputation as a wedding destination and honeymoon location for couples not only from Greece from all over the world.

Perhaps the top activity in Santorini is simply wandering around and the spectacular sights. But other adventures can be had, including winery tours, cruises and even a boat visit to the still-active Santorini volcano (it last erupted in 1950). Whatever your taste, Santorini is a dream destination.

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question.

The end of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century were marked by the development of an international Art Nouveau style, characterized by sinuous lines, floral and vegetable motifs, and soft evanescent coloration. The Art Nouveau style was an eclectic one, bringing together elements of Japanese art, motifs of ancient cultures, and natural forms. The glass objects of this style were elegant in outline, although often deliberated distorted, with pale or iridescent surfaces. A favored device of the style was to imitate the iridescent surface seen on the ancient glass that had been buried. Much of the Art Nouveau glass produced during the years of its greatest popularity had been generically termed 'art glass'. Art glass was intended for decorative purposes and relied on its effect on carefully chosen color combinations and innovative techniques.

Trance produced a number of outstanding exponents of the Art Nouveau style; among the most celebrated was Emile Galle (1846-1904). In the United States, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1843-1933) was the most noted exponent of this style, producing a great variety of glass forms and surfaces, which were widely copied in their time and are highly prized today. Tiffany was a brilliant designer, successfully combining ancient Egyptian, Japanese, and Persian motifs.

The Art Nouveau style was a major force in the decorative arts from 1895 to 1915, although its influence continued throughout the mid-1920s. It was eventually to be overtaken by a new school of thought known as Functionalism that had been present since the beginning of the 20th century. At first, restricted to a small avant-garde group of architects and designers, Functionalism emerged as the dominant influence upon designers after the First World War. The basic tenet of the movement, that function should determine form - was not a new concept. Soon a distinct aesthetic code evolved: form should be simple, surfaces plain, and any ornament should be based on geometric relationships. This new design concept, coupled with the sharp postwar reactions to the styles and conventions of the preceding decades, created an entirely new public taste that caused Art Nouveau types of glass to fall out of favor. The new taste demanded dramatic effects of contrasts, stark outlines, and complex textural surfaces.

 
The word "one" in paragraph 1 refers to _____.
  • century
  • development
  • style
