Questions 30-35 refer to the following passage.
(1) Until recently, historic preservation societies have focused almost all of their efforts on saving and restoring architecture that predates the early twentieth century.
(2) The problems posed by the physical deterioration of newer buildings, especially those erected during the past sixty years, have been largely ignored. (3) Preservationists tend to have very traditional tastes in architecture. (4) Many of them can't stand the sight of the boxy, glass-and? concrete structures that sprang up allover the United States after the Second World War.
(5) Lately, however, modern architecture has found some defenders within the preservationist community.
(6) This happened when preservationists witnessed many buildings from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s being altered beyond recognition or totally destroyed. (7) They realized that an important era of architectural history was in danger of being obliterated. (8) Consequently, they take up the cause of rescuing modern buildings from the wrecking ball-buildings that some people now consider architectural masterpieces.
(9) In several cases, they have persuaded municipal commissions to recognize architecturally significant structures of the postwar period as historic landmarks," a designation that protects buildings from being radically remodeled or demolished. (10) Homeowners are pleasantly surprised to discover that a house that has been designated a landmark often rises in value. (11) In the end, however, the biggest challenge faced by those who want to save modern buildings may be one of public relations: they must convince people who find postwar architecture ugly that it represents a valuable piece of our cultural heritage.
