I. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Before photography was invented in 1839, painted portraits, and engravings based on them, were one
of the few ways to record likenesses. From the Colonial era through the 1820s, portraiture was the most
widely practiced genre of American art, and it continued to be a significant form through the 19th century.
The demand for likenesses was incessant, and portraiture was often the primary source of income for
artists. Artists frequently made portraits of famous people to attract interest and potential patrons. For
example, in 1834 Chester Harding painted frontiersman Davy Crockett, then a member of the U.S. House
of Representatives, for display in his Boston gallery.
A consistent belief through most of the 18th and 19th centuries was that character could be read from
a person's face, or the bumps on his or her head, or from facial expressions, and that portraits should
convey these indicators of character. These theories of physiognomy and phrenology have since been

debunked, but they were important considerations in depicting the nation's leaders, since such portraits
were often made for posterity. Most people had only one portrait painted in their lifetime, if at all, so
artists were selected with great care, and expectations were high.
Before the 1840s, American portraiture was influenced primarily by English techniques, poses,
compositions and gestures, and many artists received at least part of their training in England. Even
canvas sizes followed the British example. Portraits made on commission were priced according to
canvas size and the materials and labor involved.
In the late 19th century as European portraitists began traveling to the United States to acquire
commissions from the growing upper class, American artists increasingly felt they needed to train abroad
in order to succeed at home. Paris continued to be the main lure as painters such as Eakins, Whistler,
Beaux and Sargent went to study there. Some of America's best-known portraitists, in fact, became
expatriates.

VII. Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Who talk more - men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women , says that this is a
stereotype . According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations , where they
use conversation as the "glue" to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public
situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend", their play
includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more
doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers
studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk
very differently to their son than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents use
more language with their girls . Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters , they use more
descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness,
with daughters than with sons.

A. It's stereotype that women talk more than men .
B. Little girls and little boys have different ways of playing.
C. Women talk more than men.
D. Women talk more in private situations , and men talk more in public ones.

48. Which word could best replace "startling" in line 10?
A. interesting

B. beginning

C. surprising

D. annoying

49. Which word in the reading passage can be used as a synonym of the word "feelings" ?
A. anger

B. emotions

C. worries

D. thinking

50. Which of the following phrases best explains the meaning of the word "verbal" in the reading passage?
A. connected with the use of spoken language

B. using very loud noise

C. deriving from verbs

D. being very talkative

51. Which word is similar in meaning to "glue" in line 3 ?
A. means

B. sticky substance

C. rope

D. game

52. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the first paragraph ?
A. Men and women have different styles of talking , which may begin in childhood.
B. According to Deborah Tannen, the belief that women talk more is partly right but most wrong and
oversimplified.

questions.
Who talk more - men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist

Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women , says that this is a
stereotype . According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations , where they
use conversation as the "glue" to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public
situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that
we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend", their play
includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more
doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers
studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk
very differently to their son than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents use
more language with their girls . Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters , they use more
descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness,
with daughters than with sons.

A. Study at Emory University can help to explain the differences between communication styles of
boys and girls.
B. Parents do not talk much about sadness with their sons.

each of the questions.
Before photography was invented in 1839, painted portraits, and engravings based on them, were one
of the few ways to record likenesses. From the Colonial era through the 1820s, portraiture was the most
widely practiced genre of American art, and it continued to be a significant form through the 19th century.
The demand for likenesses was incessant, and portraiture was often the primary source of income for
artists. Artists frequently made portraits of famous people to attract interest and potential patrons. For
example, in 1834 Chester Harding painted frontiersman Davy Crockett, then a member of the U.S. House
of Representatives, for display in his Boston gallery.
A consistent belief through most of the 18th and 19th centuries was that character could be read from
a person's face, or the bumps on his or her head, or from facial expressions, and that portraits should
convey these indicators of character. These theories of physiognomy and phrenology have since been
debunked, but they were important considerations in depicting the nation's leaders, since such portraits
were often made for posterity. Most people had only one portrait painted in their lifetime, if at all, so
artists were selected with great care, and expectations were high.
Before the 1840s, American portraiture was influenced primarily by English techniques, poses,
compositions and gestures, and many artists received at least part of their training in England. Even
canvas sizes followed the British example. Portraits made on commission were priced according to
canvas size and the materials and labor involved.
In the late 19th century as European portraitists began traveling to the United States to acquire
commissions from the growing upper class, American artists increasingly felt they needed to train abroad
in order to succeed at home. Paris continued to be the main lure as painters such as Eakins, Whistler,
Beaux and Sargent went to study there. Some of America's best-known portraitists, in fact, became
expatriates.
40. What does the passage mainly discussed?
A. the early years of photography

B. portraiture in 19th century America

C. art in 19th century America

D. the influence of other countries on American art

41. The word poses (in Line 1- paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ……
A. stance

B. manner

C. height

D. weight

42. Why does the author mention Davy Crocket in paragraph 1?
A. as an example of an artist using a famous person to gain attention to his work
B. because gallery owners often had famous people as patrons
C. because Crocket was also a famous artist

D. every detail, including bumps on the head

44. Which of the following statements best represents the meaning of the first sentence (lines1 and 2)

before photography was invented in 1839?
A. engravings were based on portraits and not as lifelike
B. there was no accurate way to record a likeness before photography was invented.
C. there were not many ways other than painted portraits and engravings if you wanted to record
