考题回忆总论点是否能够解释Elizabeth Playhouse的设计
阅读部分伊丽莎白 playhouse 的设计，为什么是圆的没有屋顶，有 3 个假说
原因1：受罗马建筑影响，因为罗马设计师的一本书在当时出版了，那些英国的建筑师很熟悉这本书 ；
原因2：受运动场影响，主要是说因为以前马戏团没有屋顶；
原因3：因为资金问题，financial problem，为了省钱，因为圆顶可以容纳更多人。
听力部分观点1：罗马建筑相关的书都是拉丁文写的，只有内行人看得懂，但是伊丽莎白的建筑者都是商人和木匠，他们没有受过相关教育，看不懂；
观点2：马戏团运动场的设计是为了保护观众，隔开动物和运动员，但如果伊丽莎白的建筑利用相同设计会让观众看不见舞台；
观点3：并不是资金问题，因为没有屋顶，下雨天或者风大的天反而没有观众看表演，反而会亏损，reduce income。
解题思路听力部分分别反驳了阅读中提出的理论行不通。
参考范文The reading passage and lecture debate on the design of Elizabeth Playhouse. The reading passage proposes three theories to account for the lack of roof in the desigh, which are all contradicted by the following lecture.
The first theory in the reading suggests that it was under the influence of Roman architecture, based on the fact that a book on Roman architecture was published back then, which was popular among architects in Britain. Also, the house resembles Roman structures with arched dome. However, the lecturer challenges the theory by pointing out that those in charge of the construction were all merchants with little education background. The book was written in Latin, which can be only read by well-educated people, rather than merchants.
The second theory in the reading proposes that it was influenced by the design of circus, since it is the first to adopt the dome design. Yet the lecture states that circus is often surrounded by fences, which keep animals in captivity. Also, audiences’ views will be blocked with the fences.
The last theory, according to the reading, claims that the design is adopted with economic benefit. Without roof, sunlight can come into the structure, reducing the need for candles. On the contrary, the professor in the lecture contends that the roofless building will be easily bothered by severe weather conditions. On a rainy day, the ground will get wet, resulting in fewer audiences and lower profit.
