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 the image,
in any of the margins, or even on the reverse side of the print. Whenever the artist elects to sign it, a signed
print is still valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition.
Question 36: Which of the following would be a better 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 37: 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

Question 38: The word “distinguish” is closest in meaning to_____________.
A. recognize differences
B. making improvement
C. allow exceptions D. accept changes
Question 39: The word “it” refers to_____________.
A. the same edition
B. the image
C. the reverse side
D. a print
Question 40: What was true about the painting of Whistler’s mother?

A. It was painted by Sir Francis Seymour Haden.
B. Its title was “Arrangement in Grey and Black.”
C. It was not one of Whistler’s best paintings.
D. It was a completely new method of painting.
Question 41: The author mentions all of the following as reasons why a collector prefers a signed print
EXCEPT_____________.
A. it guarantees the print’s authenticity
B. it makes the print more personal
C. it encourages higher prices for the print
D. it limits the number of copies of the print
Question 42: It can be inferred from the passage that artists number their prints_____________.
A. as an accounting procedure
B. to guarantee a limited edition
C. when the buyer requests it
D. at the same place on each of the prints

plants and animals are particularly appreciated for their unique physical beauty. The easthetic role of nature
in all its diverse forms is reflected in the art and literarure of every culture, attaining symbolic status in the
spiritual life of many groups. According to the proponents of the the easthetic 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. By preserving all species we retain a balance of
nature that is ultimately beneficial to humankind. Recent research on global ecosystems has been citedas
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 ecologicalargument contend that important chemical
compounds derived from rare plants may containthe key to a cure for one of the diseases currently
threatening human beings .If we do not protect other species , then we can not protect us.
Apart from human advantage in both the easthetic and ecological arguments, the proponents of a
moral justification contend that all species have the right to exist , a viewpoint stared 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
depend on this larger perspective . To carry their argument to its logicalconclusion, all choices must be
made for the biosphere, not for people .
Question 43: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. The beauty of the world
B. The quality of life
C. The preservation of species
D. The balance of nature
Question 44: Which of the arguments supports animal rights ?

B. Ecological argument
C. Self-interest argument
D. Moral justification
Question 45: The word “ perspective” in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by _____________
A. ideal
B. event
C. truth
D. view

Question 46: Which word or phrase in the bold text that “them” refers to__________
A. stewards
B. creatures
C. human beings
D. species
Question 47: Where in the passage does the author explain how rare species contributes to the health of the
human species ?
A. in the underlined sentence
B. in the second paragraph
C. in the first paragraph
D. in the last paragraph
Question 48: According to the passage, what do we know from the research on global ecosystems ?
A. Nature is very diverse
B. A balance of nature is important
C. Humans have a responsibility to nature
D. Nature represents spiritual values
Question 49: The author mentions all of the following as justifications for the protection of endangered
species EXCEPT ____________________.
A. the natural compounds needed for medicines
B. the instrinsic value of the beauty of nature
