The Globe Theater, where most of Shakespeare's plays were staged and performed,
was located in London. Cuthbert and Richard Burbage built the theater in 1599 with
materials left over from the construction of London’s first playhouse, the Theater. They
constructed the Globe on the south side of the Thames River in the little town of Southwark
and counted on making the theater a draw for the locals. Little is known about the
architectural design of the theater except what can be deduced from maps and the layout of
the plays presented there. It appears that the Globe was either round or polygonal on the
outside but most likely round on the inside. In keeping with the contemporary imitations of
Roman government buildings, its roof was most probably shaped as a crude dome. It can be
further deduced that the structure was decorated with pediments, arches, columns, and
ornate staircases with carvings of shells, feathers, and cupids. The size of its audience is
projected at as many as 3,000 spectators both in the amphitheater and in the balcony. The
Globe burned down in 1613; it was rebuilt on the same foundation a year later, but its
external walls were curved at an angle different from that of the original. The theater was
built hastily, and evidently safety was not a top priority for either the engineer or the
company. After several nearly fatal accidents, the Globe was torn down for good in 1644.
56. This passage most likely came from a longer work on _____.
A. English deductive trivia B. English monumental constructions
C. notable English disasters D. the history of the English theater

A. from available contemporary materials B. on a foundation designed to meet a temporary need

58. In line 5, the phrase 'a draw’ is closest in meaning to _____.
A. an attraction B. an option C. a drawing D. a donation
59. It can be inferred from the passage that the Globe’s exact architectural design _____.
A. should be reconstituted B. cannot be determined
C. should be obliterated D. cannot be disregarded
