Part 3. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
Wood has long been a popular building material in North America because it has generally been plentiful
and cheap. Swedish settlers in Delaware built log cabins as early as 1630s. In New England, British
colonists built wooden ‘saltbox houses’. Most of the wooden homes of Colonial times could be built with
simple tools and minimal skills.
In the early 19th century, the standard wooden house was built with beams set into heavy posts and held
together with wooden pegs. This method of construction was time – consuming and required highly skilled
workers with special tools. The balloon – frame house, invented in 1833 in Chicago by a carpenter from
Hartford, Connecticut, used a frame of lightweight lumber, mostly 2´4 and 2´6 inches. This type of house
could be assembled by any careful worker who could saw in a straight line and drive a nail.
This revolution in building was made possible by improved sawmills that could quickly cut boards to
standard sizes and the lower cost of lumber that resulted. There were also new machines that could produce
huge quantities of inexpensive nails. Skeptics predicted that a strong wind could send such houses flying
through the air like balloons and, at first ‘balloon frame’ was a term of derision. But the light frames proved
practical, and wooden houses have been basically built this way ever since.
76. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To trace the influence of Swedish and British settlers on American styles of buildings.
4
 B. To stress the importance of wood as a building material.
C. To compare methods of constructing wooden houses in various parts of the country.

A. Where was it invented?
B. What was its inventor’s name?
C. What size was most of the lumber used in its framework?

79. The author implies that which of the following types of houses required the most skill to produce?
A. The log cabin built by Swedish settlers.
B. Saltbox houses.
C. Standard wooden houses of the early 19th century.
