Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

The name is a bit of a mouthful, but cultural appropriation happens when a dominant culture takes things from another culture that is experiencing oppression Cultural exchange is different from cultural appropriation Things like tea, gunpowder and pasta have been shared between different cultures throughout history These ‘borrowings’ aren’t the same as cultural appropriation, because they don’t involve power When dominant groups take from an oppressed group, we’re dealing with appropriation, not cultural exchange Cultural appropriation is also very different from assimilation ‘Assimilation’ describes what happens when minority cultures are forced to adopt features from a dominant culture in order to fit in

When we look at a culture that’s experiencing oppression, it’s often a result of

colonization, where a dominant group has claimed ownership of the land and its people When the

dominant group continues to steal aspects of the non-dominant culture, it continues the economic

oppression and disadvantage of that culture In Australia, there are cases where white Australian businesses have stolen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artworks for use on T-shirts and

souvenirs This allows the dominant culture to make money from the non-dominant culture, without benefiting the original artists

Cultural appropriation also has a nasty habit of giving the dominant group credit for

aspects of a culture that they have taken, reinforcing the power imbalance between the two

groups For example, Kylie Jenner was credited with starting an ‘edgy’ new hair trend, while black actress Zendaya faced criticism for wearing her hair the same way What’s interesting about

this, is that Zendaya’s natural hair was seen as a negative But Kylie Jenner, a person with no ties

to black culture, was given credit for taking something that wasn’t hers

Cultural appropriation creates stereotypes The Native American chief, the Japanese geisha

or the Arab sheikh can be examples of stereotypes that pop up during Halloween When people from dominant cultures ‘dress up’ like this, it reduces something of cultural significance to a costume just so that the dominant group can have ‘a bit of fun’ It also keeps these kinds of

stereotypes going

There are times when it’s encouraged to try something from a different culture Being

invited to an Indian wedding where the hosts are cool with you wearing traditional clothing is not

cultural appropriation

Question III Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Collecting maps can be an enjoyable hobby for antiquarian booksellers, a captivating

interest for cartographers, a lucrative vocation for astute dealers, and an inspirational part of the

occupational functioning of map catalogers, archivists, and historians Among recognized

collectibles, maps are relatively rarer than stamps, but they have had their avid enthusiasts and

admirers ever since copies were made by hand only for affluent, the commanding officer, and the ship captain

Whether the interest is business-related or amateur, the economic means abundant or slim,

a collection needs a theme, be it associated with contemporary changes in cartographic representation or geographic knowledge, or a more accessible goal centered on a particular mapmaker, technique, or type of subject matter Collectors should not overlook topical maps issued predominantly or exclusively after World War II, such as navigational charts, industrial compound road layouts, or aerial projections Potential collectors ought not to disregard two superficially prosaic, yet important themes: maps of travel routes for family trips, and maps that, for aesthetic reasons, they personally find intriguing or simply attractive In the first case, like the box with old family photos, the collection will give the travelers the opportunity to reminisce and relive the journey

In most cases, photocopies are worthy alternatives to originals For example, historical society collections customarily include the high quality facsimiles needed to make a collection as comprehensive and practical as possible, supplementing the contributions made by well-to-do donors and benefactors If not predisposed to wait patiently, and possibly ineffectually, for a lucky find, collectors may choose to sift through dealer stock, peruse through advertisements in local, regional, or national periodicals, and solicit the assistance of the U.S Library of Congress and private agencies Government and public agencies, companies, and trade associations can advise the collector about maps currently in circulation and pending sales of dated reproductions, editions, and prints

Question 63: What is the main idea of the passage?

A Why hobbyists always flaunt their map collections.

B How to assure an interrupted flow of collectibles.

C What cartographers advocate as a worthy undertaking.

D How maps can be collected by professionals and enthusiasts.

Question 64: In paragraph 1, the word lucrative is closest in meaning to

A instructive B profuse C insensitive D profitable

Question 65: According to the passage, map collecting as a hobby is .

A not deserving of the time and resources B conformist in the best sense of the word.

C not as conventional as collecting stamps D.as eccentric as collecting dolls.

Question 66: In paragraph 1, the word avid is closest in meaning to .

Question 67: It can be inferred from the passage that, at a time when maps were accessible to the

upper socioeconomic classes, they appealed also to a fair number of

A professional copiers B obscure amateur dealers C ardent devotees D buried-treasure hunters Question 68: In paragraph 2, the phrase “economic means” is closest in meaning to .

A economic maps B capital investment C fiscal responsibility D available funds Question 69: The author of the passage mentions all of the following as sources of procuring maps EXCEPT .

A fellow collectors B publishers C map vendors D personal archives Question 70: A paragraph following the passage would most likely discuss .

A specific organizations to contact about map acquisition

B volunteering time and work to maintain obsolete maps

C specific mapping techniques used to enlarge the scale

D trimming and framing valuable acquisitions
