The next artist in this survey of American artist is James Whistler; he is
included in this survey of American artist because he was born in the United
States, although the majority of his artwork was completed in Europe.
Whistler was born in Massachusetts in 1834, but nine years later his father
moved the family to St. Petersburg, Russia, to work on the construction of a
railroad. The family returned to the United States in 1849. Two years later
Whistler entered the U.S. military academy at West Point, but he was unable
to graduate. At the age of twenty-one Whistler went to Europe to study art
despite familial objections, and he remained in Europe until his death.
Whistler worked in various art forms, including etchings and lithographs.
However, he is most famous for his paintings, particularly Arrangement in
Gray and Black No. 1: Portrait of the Artists Mother or Whistlers Mother, as
it is more commonly known. This painting shows a side view of Whistlers
mother, dressed I black and posing against a gray wall. The asymmetrical
nature of the portrait, with his mother seated off-center, is highly
characteristic of Whistlers work.

A. Several artists are presented
B. One artists life and works are described
C. Various paintings are contrasted
D. Whistlers family life is outlined.

Questions 20-30
The locations of stars in the sky relative to one another do not appear to the
naked eye to change, and as a result stars are often considered to be fixed in
position. Many unaware stargazers falsely assume that each star has its own
permanent home in the nighttime sky.
In reality, though, stars are always moving, but because of the tremendous
distances between stars themselves and from stars to Earth, the changes are
barely perceptible here. An example of a rather fast-moving star
demonstrates why this misconception prevails; it takes approximately 200
years for a relatively rapid star like Bernard's star to move a distance in the
skies equal to the diameter of the earth's moon. When the apparently
negligible movement of the stars is contrasted with the movement of the
planets, the stars are seemingly unmoving.
20. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
a. What the eye can see in the sky
b. Bernard's star
c. Planetary Movement
d. The Evermoving stars
22. According to the passage, the distances between the stars and Earth are
a. barely perceptible

25. The passage states that in 200 years Bernard's star can move
a. around Earth's moon
b. next to the earth's moon
c. a distance equal to the distance from earth to the moon
d. a distance seemingly equal to the diameter of the moon
26. The passage implies that from earth it appears that the planets
a. are fixed in the sky
b. move more slowly than the stars
c. show approximately the same amount of movement as the stars
d. travel through the sky considerably more rapidly than the stars
30. This passage would most probably be assigned reading in which course?

Questions 31-40

grounds: one spouse is deemed to be at fault in causing the divorce. More

Questions 41-50
Whereas literature in the first half of the eighteenth century in America had
been largely religious and moral in tone, by the latter half of the century the
revolutionary fervor that was coming to life in the colonies began to be
reflected in the literature of the time, which in turn served to further
influence the population. Although not all writers of this period supported the
Revolution, the two best-known and most influential writers, Ben Franklin and
Thomas Paine, were both strongly supportive of that cause.
Ben Franklin first attained popular success through his writings in his
brother's newspaper, the New England Current. In these articles he used a
simple style of language and common sense argumentation to defend the
point of view of the farmer and the Leather Apron man. He continued with
the same common sense practicality and appeal to the common man with
his work on Poor Richard's Almanac from 1733 until 1758. Firmly established
in his popular acceptance by the people, Franklin wrote a variety of
extremely effective articles and pamphlets about the colonist's revolutionary
cause against England.
d. trait
49. Where in the passage does the author describe Thomas Paine's style of
writing?
a. lines 4-6
b. lines 8-9
c. lines 14-15
d. lines 18-20

Questions 11-20 refer to the following passage.
Horse owner who plan to breed one or more mares should have a working knowledge of heredity
and know how to care for breeding animals and foals. The number of mares bred that actually
conceive varies from about 40 to 85 percent, with the average running less than 50 percent. Some
mares that do conceive fail to produce living foals. This means that, on average, two mares are
kept a whole year to produce one foal, and even then, some foals are disappointments from the
standpoint of quality.
By careful selection, breeders throughout history have developed various kinds of horses with a
wide variety of characteristics to suit many different needs. The Great Horse of the Middle Ages,
for example was bred for size and strength to carry a heavily armored knight. The massive horses
of such breeds are often called cold blooded. The Arabs bred lithe dessert horses that were
small and swift. These animal are often referred to as hot blooded. Cross-breeding of hot
blooded and cold-blooded horses for certain characteristics produced breeds ranging from riding
horses to draft horses.
The Thoroughbred id considered by many to be high point of elegance and fine selective
breeding. Many person mistakenly apply the name Thoroughbred to any purebred horse. But a
Thoroughbred is a distinct breed of running horses that traces its ancestry through the male line
directly back to three Eastern stallions: the Byerly Turk, the Darley Arabian, and the Godolphin
Barb. For convenience the breeds of horses are often divided into three major groups: (1) ponies,
(2) heavy, or draft horses, and (3) light horses.
11. Which of the following is not an example of an Eastern stallion?
(A) Byerly Turk
(B) Darley Arabian
(C) Thoroughbred
(D) Godolphin Barb
12. Which of the following was NOT a characteristic of the Great Horse of the Middle Ages?
(A) Largesize

13. It can be inferred from the passage that cold-blooded and hot-blooded horses were cross-bres
for what reason?
(A) Such cross-breeding was a safer means of reproduction.
(B) Cross-bred horses were preferred by Arabs.
(C)By cross-breeding, horses with desirable mixed characteristic could be produced.
18. A foal is a

Questions 21-30 refer to the following passage.
We believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. At percent we are forced to look to other
bodies in the solar system for hints as to what the early history of the Earth was like. Studies of
our moon, Mercury, Mars, and the large satelites of Jupiter and Saturn have provided ample
evidence that all these large celestial bodies had formed. This same bombardment must have
affected Earth as well. The lunar record indicates that the rate of impacts decreased to its present
low level about 4 billion years ago. On Earth, subsequent erosion and crustal motions have
obliterated the craters that must have formed during this epoch.
Scientists estimate the Earths age by measuring the ratios of various radioactive elements in
rocks. The oldest Earths rocks tested thus far are about 3 1/3 billion years old. But no one knows
whether these are oldest rocks on Earth. Tests on rocks form the moon and on meteorites show
that these are about 4.6 billion years old. Scientists believe that this is the true age of the solar
system and probably the true age of the Earth.
21. In line 8, the word obliterated means
(A) created
(B) destroyed
(C) changed
(D) eroded
22. According to this passage, how do scientists estimate the age of the Earth?

(A) 3 1/3 billion years old.
(B) 4 billion years old.
(C) 4.6 billion years old.
(D) 6 billion years old.

bombardment of the Earth by the celestial bodies?
