ENDANGERED SPECIES
There are three valid arguments to support the preservation of endangered species. Aesthetic justification contends that
biodiversity contributes to the quality of life because many of the endangered plants and animals are particularly appreciated
for their unique physical beauty. (A) The aesthetic role of nature in all its diverse forms is reflected in the art and literature of
every culture attaining symbolic status in the spiritual life of many groups. (B) According to the proponents of the aesthetic
argument, people need nature in all its diverse and beautiful forms as part of the experience of the world.
Another argument that has been put forward, especially by groups in the medical and pharmacological fields, is that of
ecological self-interest. (C) By preserving all species, we retain a balance of nature that is ultimately beneficial to humankind.
(D) Recent research on global ecosystems has been cited as evidence that every species contributes important or even
essential functions that may be necessary to the survival of our own species. Some advocates of the ecological argument
contend that important chemical compounds derived from rare plants may contain the key to a cure for one of the diseases
currently threatening human beings. If we do not protect other species, then they cannot protect us.
Apart from human advantage in both the aesthetic and ecological arguments, the proponents of a moral justification contend
that all species have the right to exist, a viewpoint stated in the United Nations World Charter for Nature, created in 1982.
Furthermore, if humankind views itself as the stewards of all the creatures on Earth, then it is incumbent upon human beings
to protect them, and to ensure the continued existence of all species. Moral justification has been extended by a movement
called "deep ecology," the members of which rank the biosphere higher than people because the continuation of life depends
on this larger perspective. To carry their argument to its logical conclusion, all choices must be made for the biosphere, not
for people.
Question 33: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. The beauty of the world

Question 35: What does the author mean by the statement "According to the proponents of the aesthetic argument,
people need nature in all its diverse and beautiful forms as part of the experience of the world"?
A. An appreciation of the Earth requires that people have an opportunity to enjoy the diversity and beauty of nature.


B. Nature is beautiful because it provides varied experiences for people.
C. People are naturally attracted to beauful forms rather than to different ones.
D. The world is experienced by nature in various forms that are equally beautiful.
Question 36: Which of the arguments supports animal rights?
A. Ecological argument
B. Self-interest argument
C. The balance of nature
D. Aesthetic justification
Question 37: Which word or phrase in the bold text that "them" refers to?

cotain the key to a cure for one of the diseases currently threatening human beings.

Read the following passage and mark the letterA, B, C, or D on your answer sheet 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 wellknown 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.

ENDANGERED SPECIES
There are three valid arguments to support the preservation of endangered species. Aesthetic justification contends that
biodiversity contributes to the quality of life because many of the endangered plants and animals are particularly appreciated
for their unique physical beauty. (A) The aesthetic role of nature in all its diverse forms is reflected in the art and literature of
every culture attaining symbolic status in the spiritual life of many groups. (B) According to the proponents of the aesthetic
argument, people need nature in all its diverse and beautiful forms as part of the experience of the world.
Another argument that has been put forward, especially by groups in the medical and pharmacological fields, is that of
ecological self-interest. (C) By preserving all species, we retain a balance of nature that is ultimately beneficial to humankind.

(D) Recent research on global ecosystems has been cited as evidence that every species contributes important or even
essential functions that may be necessary to the survival of our own species. Some advocates of the ecological argument
contend that important chemical compounds derived from rare plants may contain the key to a cure for one of the diseases
currently threatening human beings. If we do not protect other species, then they cannot protect us.
Apart from human advantage in both the aesthetic and ecological arguments, the proponents of a moral justification contend
that all species have the right to exist, a viewpoint stated in the United Nations World Charter for Nature, created in 1982.
Furthermore, if humankind views itself as the stewards of all the creatures on Earth, then it is incumbent upon human beings
to protect them, and to ensure the continued existence of all species. Moral justification has been extended by a movement
called "deep ecology," the members of which rank the biosphere higher than people because the continuation of life depends
on this larger perspective. To carry their argument to its logical conclusion, all choices must be made for the biosphere, not
for people.
Question 6: Which word or phrase in the bold text that "them" refers to?
A. creatures
B. stewards
C. human beings
D. species
Question 7: Which sentence explains how rare species contributes to the health of the human species?

may cotain the key to a cure for one of the diseases currently threatening human beings.
B. Biodiversity contributes to the quality of life because many of the endangered plants and animals are particularly
appreciated for theft unique physical beauty.
C. By preserving all species we retain a balance of nature that is ultimately beneficial to humankind.
D. If we do not protect other species, then they can not protect us.

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 wellknown 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 41: The word "speculated" the 1st paragraph could best be replaced by.......
A. noticed

A. Its title was "Arrangement in Grey and Black"
B. It was not one of Whistler's best paintings
C. It was painted by Sir Francis Haden
D. It was a completely new method of painting
Question 44: Which of the following would be a better title for the passage?
A. Copying Limited Edition Prints
B. The Practice of Signing Prints
C. Whistler's Greatest Works
D. Whistler's Mother
Question 45: The author mentions all of the following as reasons why a collector prefers a signed print EXCEPT......
A. it limits the number of copies of the print

B. it guarantees the print's authenticity
C. it makes the print more personal
D. it encourages higher prices for the print
Question 46: What made Whistler's work more valuable?
A. His fame as an artist

ENDANGERED SPECIES
There are three valid arguments to support the preservation of endangered species. Aesthetic justification contends that

biodiversity contributes to the quality of life because many of the endangered plants and animals are particularly appreciated
for their unique physical beauty. (A) The aesthetic role of nature in all its diverse forms is reflected in the art and literature of
every culture attaining symbolic status in the spiritual life of many groups. (B) According to the proponents of the aesthetic
argument, people need nature in all its diverse and beautiful forms as part of the experience of the world.
Another argument that has been put forward, especially by groups in the medical and pharmacological fields, is that of
ecological self-interest. (C) By preserving all species, we retain a balance of nature that is ultimately beneficial to humankind.
(D) Recent research on global ecosystems has been cited as evidence that every species contributes important or even
essential functions that may be necessary to the survival of our own species. Some advocates of the ecological argument
contend that important chemical compounds derived from rare plants may contain the key to a cure for one of the diseases
currently threatening human beings. If we do not protect other species, then they cannot protect us.
Apart from human advantage in both the aesthetic and ecological arguments, the proponents of a moral justification contend
that all species have the right to exist, a viewpoint stated in the United Nations World Charter for Nature, created in 1982.
Furthermore, if humankind views itself as the stewards of all the creatures on Earth, then it is incumbent upon human beings
to protect them, and to ensure the continued existence of all species. Moral justification has been extended by a movement
called "deep ecology," the members of which rank the biosphere higher than people because the continuation of life depends
on this larger perspective. To carry their argument to its logical conclusion, all choices must be made for the biosphere, not
for people.

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 wellknown 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.

ENDANGERED SPECIES
There are three valid arguments to support the preservation of endangered species. Aesthetic justification contends that
biodiversity contributes to the quality of life because many of the endangered plants and animals are particularly appreciated
for their unique physical beauty. (A) The aesthetic role of nature in all its diverse forms is reflected in the art and literature of
every culture attaining symbolic status in the spiritual life of many groups. (B) According to the proponents of the aesthetic
argument, people need nature in all its diverse and beautiful forms as part of the experience of the world.
Another argument that has been put forward, especially by groups in the medical and pharmacological fields, is that of

ecological self-interest. (C) By preserving all species, we retain a balance of nature that is ultimately beneficial to humankind.
(D) Recent research on global ecosystems has been cited as evidence that every species contributes important or even
essential functions that may be necessary to the survival of our own species. Some advocates of the ecological argument
contend that important chemical compounds derived from rare plants may contain the key to a cure for one of the diseases
currently threatening human beings. If we do not protect other species, then they cannot protect us.
Apart from human advantage in both the aesthetic and ecological arguments, the proponents of a moral justification contend
that all species have the right to exist, a viewpoint stated in the United Nations World Charter for Nature, created in 1982.
Furthermore, if humankind views itself as the stewards of all the creatures on Earth, then it is incumbent upon human beings
to protect them, and to ensure the continued existence of all species. Moral justification has been extended by a movement
called "deep ecology," the members of which rank the biosphere higher than people because the continuation of life depends
on this larger perspective. To carry their argument to its logical conclusion, all choices must be made for the biosphere, not
for people.

B. If we do not protect other species, then they can not protect us.
C. Some advocates of the ecological argument contend that important chemical compounds derived from rare plants
may cotain the key to a cure for one of the diseases currently threatening human beings.
