V/ READING COMPREHENSION (20 PTS)

Reading the following passages and choose the best answer

Passage 1

As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old ones were
reworked. The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was brought by Dutch settlers to
New York in the early 18th century. Traditionally, Santa Claus - from the Dutch Sinter Klaas - was depicted as a

tall, dignified, religious figure riding a white horse through the air. Known as Saint Nicholas in Germany, he
was usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. In North America he
eventually developed into a fat, jolly old gentleman who had neither the religious attributes of Saint Nicholas
nor the strict disciplinarian character of Black Peter.

Santa’s transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the poem A Visit from
Saint Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his daughter. The poem introduced many
Americans to the story of a kindly saint who flew over housetops in a reindeer-drawn sleigh. Portraits and
drawings of Santa Claus by American illustrator Thomas Nast further strengthened the legend during the second
half of the 19th century. Living at the North Pole and assisted by elves, the modern Santa produced and

delivered toys to all good children. By the late 19th century he had become such a prominent figure of American

folklore that in 1897, when Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the New York Sun newspaper asking if Santa was real,
she received a direct answer: “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus”.

Passage 2.

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 become 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 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.

51. Which of the following would be a better title for the passage?

A. Whistler’s Mother B. Copying Limited Edition Prints

C. The Practice of Signing Prints D. Whistler’s Greatest Works
52. What made Whistler’s work more valuable?

A. His brother-in-law’s prints B. His signature on the prints
C. His painting of his mother D. His fame as an artist
53. The word “speculated” could be best replaced by___________.

A. denied B. guessed C. noticed D. announced

54. The word “distinguish” is closest in meaning to ___________.

A. making improvement B. accept changes

C. recognize differences D. allow exceptions

55. The word “it” refers to___________.

A. the image B. the reverse side C. the same edition D. a print

56. Where in the passage does the author indicate where an artist’s signature might be found on a work?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. all paragraphs

57. What does the author mean by the statement: “As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing
and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value.”?

A. The prints that were signed and numbered were worth more.
B. The signatures became more valuable than the prints.

C. The signing and numbering of prints was not very popular.
D. Many copies of the prints were made.

III/ ERROR IDENTIFICATION (20 PTS)

There are ten mistakes in the following paragraph. Find them and correct them.

We tend to think of poverty as the main cause of violence crime. However,
research from both sides of the Atlantic show that fathers may be the most important
factor in preventing children from turn to crime. In the United States, children from
better-off family was compared with ones from families with lower incomes.
Children from both groups that lived with their fathers committed the same number
of crimes. In the United Kingdom, a study was carried out comparing a group of
boys which had never been accused of any crimes such as assault and stealing
vehicles. All the boys had difficulty at school and came from large families that
didn't earn a lot of money. The biggest different between the groups was that
fifty-five percent of the "good boys" lived with their fathers, when only four per cent of
the "bad boys" did. Eighty per cent of the good – behaved boys said they felt close
to their fathers because they didn't live in the same house. It seems that having a
father who takes an interest in his children encourages youngsters not to break the
law.
