Each year, the Academy Awards, better known as the “Oscars”, celebrate the best films and
documentaries with categories ranging from acting, directing and screenwriting, to costumes and
special effects. This year, 9-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis joins the list of kids who have taken the
movie business by storm, as she competes for the best actress award for her role as “Hushpuppy” in
the film “Beasts of the Southern Wild”.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is made up of filmmakers in all fields. The group
ranks their favourites in each category. Oftentimes Oscar recognition can take many years, but for
some lucky and talented individuals that honour comes early in life.

girl fighting to survive in a poor Mississippi Delta community prone to devastating flooding. In the
2
film, Wallis learns to find food in the wilderness, escapes a homeless shelter and deals with the death
of her father. She will be the youngest ever nominee in the best actress category at nine years old.
Born in Houma, LA. , Quvenzhané was just five years old when she auditioned for Beasts of the
Southern Wild. Since auditions for the role of Hushpuppy were only open to 6-9-year olds,

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Even before the turn of the century, movies began to develop in two major directions: the realistic and
the formalistic. Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute, terms. When used to
suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in the end, they are still just
labels.
Few films are exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist. There is also an
important difference between realism and reality, although this distinction is often forgotten. Realism
is a particular style, whereas physical reality is the source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic
andformalistic. Virtually all movie directors go to the photographable world for their subject matter,
but what they do with this material - how they shape and manipulate it determines their stylistic
emphasis.
Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a minimum
of distortion. In photographing objects and events, the filmmaker tries to suggest the copiousness of
life itself. Both realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence emphasize)certain details
from the chaotic sprawl of reality. But the element of selectivity in realistic films is less obvious.
Realists, in short, try to preserve the illusion that their film world is unmanipulated, an objective
mirror of the actual world. Formalists, on the other hand, make no such pretence. They deliberately
stylize and distort their raw materials so that only the very naive would mistake a manipulated image
of an object or event for the real thing.
We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; the artist tends to be self-effacing. Some filmmakers are
more concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated. The camera is used
conservatively. It is essentially a recording mechanism that reproduces the surface of tangible objects
with as little commentary as possible. A high premium is placed on simplicity, spontaneity, and
directness. This is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the realistic
cinema specializes in art that conceals art.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Even before the turn of the century, movies began to develop in two major directions: the realistic and
the formalistic. Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute, terms. When used to
suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in the end, they are still just
labels.
Few films are exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist. There is also an
important difference between realism and reality, although this distinction is often forgotten. Realism
is a particular style, whereas physical reality is the source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic
andformalistic. Virtually all movie directors go to the photographable world for their subject matter,
but what they do with this material - how they shape and manipulate it determines their stylistic
emphasis.
Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a minimum
of distortion. In photographing objects and events, the filmmaker tries to suggest the copiousness of
life itself. Both realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence emphasize)certain details
from the chaotic sprawl of reality. But the element of selectivity in realistic films is less obvious.
Realists, in short, try to preserve the illusion that their film world is unmanipulated, an objective
mirror of the actual world. Formalists, on the other hand, make no such pretence. They deliberately
stylize and distort their raw materials so that only the very naive would mistake a manipulated image
of an object or event for the real thing.
We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; the artist tends to be self-effacing. Some filmmakers are
more concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated. The camera is used
conservatively. It is essentially a recording mechanism that reproduces the surface of tangible objects
with as little commentary as possible. A high premium is placed on simplicity, spontaneity, and
directness. This is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the realistic
cinema specializes in art that conceals art.
