<span class='text_page_counter'>(3)</span> A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States. North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on local television news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the new people select. Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera. A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population. In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it. It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately. There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject's underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent. Question 35. According to the passage, the main disadvantage of person-on-the-street interviews is that they__________. A. are not based on a representative sampling B. reflect political opinions C. are not carefully worded D. are used only on television Question 36. According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over questionnaires is that live interviews__________. A. minimize the influence of the researcher B. are easier to interpret C. costless D. can produce more information Question 37. The word "precise" is closest in meaning to__________. A. accurate B. rational C. required D. planned Question 38. According to the reading passage, there are ____ main categories of surveys. A. four B. five C. two D. three Question 39. Which word is given definition in the text? A. sampling B. poll C. survey D. interview Question 40. The word "they" refers to___________. A. interviews B. opinions C. news shows D. North Americans Question 41. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The principles of conducting surveys B. The importance of polls in American political life C. Problems associated with interpreting surveys D. The history of surveys in North America Question 42. According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective survey? A. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results B. Carefully worded questions C. An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings D. A high number of respondents.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer. 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,.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(5)</span> 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. Question 55. What does the passage mainly discussed? A. art in 19th century America B. portraiture in 19th century America C. the early years of photography D. the influence of other countries on American art Question 56.

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 what somebody looked like. D. engravings were based on portraits and not as lifelike Question 57. Why does the author mention Davy Crockett in paragraph 1? A. as an example of an artist using a famous person to gain attention to his work B. because Crocket was also a famous artist C. as an example of the types of people who could afford to pay for their portrait to be painted D. because gallery owners often had famous people as patrons Question 58.
