SECTION III: READING (5.0 points)
Part 1: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following
questions. Write your answer (A, B, C, or D) in the numbered boxes.
Since ancient times, one of the most common materials people have utilized to make things
with is wood. Wood is used to make houses, buildings, and other structures. People also
make a large number of smaller objects with it.
The desire to make finished products more beautiful appears to be ingrained in huma n
nature. On account of this fact, for thousands of years, people have carved and shaped
wooden objects to make them more appealing to the eye. Humans have additionally tended
to create both religious and ceremonial objects from wood. In fact, all around the world,
countless cultures have made use of ceremonial wood carvings. These objects often reflect
the spirit of the people who made them, and each of them tends to hold a special
significance as well.
One of the most common types of wood carvings is the mask. People in many cultures in
Asia, Africa, and North America have made ceremonial wooden masks. In Africa, for
instance, large numbers of tribes use wooden masks for vari ous spiritual rituals. These
masks are often in the form of animals that are sacred to the tribes. In other cases, the masks
have human forms. The faces, however, may not be exactly humanlike. For instance, the
faces can be distorted, having wider, longer, smaller, or larger features than normal. The
masks may be carved to give them ugly or frightening appearances as well. And, on other
occasions, the masks are made to look as beautiful as possible.
While masks tend to be fairly small, other wood carvings can be enormous. Among the
largest of all ceremonial wood carvings is the totem p ole. Totem poles have been built by
several Native American tribes that reside in the northwestern part of North America. They
are normally made to represent families, or they may honor significant historical events.
Some even tell stories. A typical totem pole has several individual carvings on it. Each
carving represents a different part of the family history, event, or story. Most totem poles
have human or animal faces, as well as other figures, carved in them. They are so large that
they are made from e ntire trees. Once the trees are cut down, master craftsmen work on
them. When completed, they may or may not be painted. Then, the totem poles are
positioned in places of honor and placed upright.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. Almost every language in the world has dialects and American English is no exception.

The Globe Theater, where most of Shakespeare's plays were staged and performed,
was located in London. Cuthbert and Richard Burbage built the theater in 1599 with
materials left over from the construction of London’s first playhouse, the Theater. They
constructed the Globe on the south side of the Thames River in the little town of Southwark
and counted on making the theater a draw for the locals. Little is known about the
architectural design of the theater except what can be deduced from maps and the layout of
the plays presented there. It appears that the Globe was either round or polygonal on the
outside but most likely round on the inside. In keeping with the contemporary imitations of
Roman government buildings, its roof was most probably shaped as a crude dome. It can be
further deduced that the structure was decorated with pediments, arches, columns, and
ornate staircases with carvings of shells, feathers, and cupids. The size of its audience is
projected at as many as 3,000 spectators both in the amphitheater and in the balcony. The
Globe burned down in 1613; it was rebuilt on the same foundation a year later, but its
external walls were curved at an angle different from that of the original. The theater was
built hastily, and evidently safety was not a top priority for either the engineer or the
company. After several nearly fatal accidents, the Globe was torn down for good in 1644.

The medieval artists didn't know about perspective; they didn't want to make their
people look like real, individual people in a real, individual scene. They wanted to show the
truth, the eternal quality of their religious stories. So these artists didn't need to know about
perspective.
In the European Renaissance period, artists wanted to show the importance of the
individual person and his or her possessions and surroundings. A flat medieval style
couldn't show this level of reality and the artists needed a new technique. It was the Italian
artist Brunelleschi who discovered the technique of perspective drawing. At first the artists
of the Renaissance only had single-point perspective. Later they realized that they could
have two-pointed perspective and still later multi-point perspective.
With two-point perspective they could turn an object (like a building) at an angle to
the picture and draw two sides of it. The technique of perspective which seems so natural to
us now is an invented technique,apart of the "@!qg of painting". Like all bits of
grammar there are exceptions about perspective. For example, only vertical and horizontal
surfaces seem to meet on eye level. Sloping roof tops don't meet on eye level.
For 500 years, artists in Europe made use of perspective drawing in their pictures.
Nevertheless, there are a range of priorities that artists in displaying individual styles.
Crivelli wanted to show depth in his picture and he used a simple single-point perspective.
Cezanne always talked about space and volume. Van Gogh, like some of the other painters
of the Impressionist period, was interested in Japanese prints. And Japanese artists until this
cenfury were always very strong designers of "flat" pictures. Picasso certainly made pictures
which have volume and depth. However, he wanted to keep our eyes on the surface and to
remind us that his paintings are paintings and not illusions.
It is technically easy to give an illusion of depth. However, a strong two dimensional
design is just
as important as a feeling of depth, and perhaps more important.
