Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
THE ART WORLD
One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist. In effect, a
market must be created for an artist to be successful. The practice of signing and numbering individual
prints was introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth century artist best known for
the painting of his mother, called "Arrangement in Grey and Black", but known to most of us as
"Whistler’s Mother". Whistler’s brother-in-law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a less well-known artist,
had speculated that collectors might find prints more attractive if they knew that there were only a
limited number of copies produced. By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and
personalize each print.
As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work
began to increase in value. When other artists noticed that the signed prints commanded higher prices,
they began copying the procedure.
Although most prints are signed on the right-hand side in the margin below the image, the placement
of the signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within image, in any of
the margins, or even on the reverse side of the’print. Wherever the artist elects to sign it, a signed print
is still valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition.

Question 30:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Whistler’s Mother.

B. Whistler’s Greatest Works.

C. The Practice of Signing Prints. D. Copying Limited Edition Prints.
Question 31:What made Whistler’s work more valuable?
A. His fame as an artist.

B. His painting of his mother.

C. His signature on the prints.

D. His brother-in-law’s prints.

Question 32:The word “speculated" in the paragraph 1 could best be replaced by.......
A. guessed

B. noticed

C. denied

D. announced

Question 33:The word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to.........

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them.
Within the first month of their lives, babies' responses to the sound of the human voice will be different
from their responses to other sorts of auditory stimuli. They will stop crying when they hear a person
talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle. At first, the sounds that an infant notices
might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of
utterances. By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between
syllables pronounced with rising and falling inflections. Very soon, these differences in adult stress and
intonation can influence babies' emotional states and behavior. Long before they develop actual
language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is playful or angry, attempting to initiate or
terminate new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of cues such as the rate, volume, and melody of
adult speech.
Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues. One
researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages,
the mothers used simplified syntax, short utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain
sounds into baby talk. Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a
few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words. They also exaggerate
their facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain words.

More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is

observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds. In other
words, babies enter the world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations that
are necessary if they are to acquire aural language.
Babies obviously derive pleasure from sound input, too; even as young as nine months they will listen
to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding. For babies,
language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to prosaic meaning that it often is for adults.
