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

In the world today, particular in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is the big news People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be

sensitive to the environment Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time The motto

of the recycling movement is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”

The first step is to reduce garbage In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box and a bag All that packaging is wasted resources People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products When low-quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and

buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers To reduce garbage, the throw-away must stop

The second step is to reuse It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the stores The manufacturers of the drinks collect bottles, wash them, and then fill them again The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved

In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice In those places, the

garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throw-away bottles

The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again Aluminum cans are expensive to make It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world’s precious resources

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

Panel painting, common in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Europe, involved a painstaking, laborious process Wooden planks were joined, covered with gesso to prepare the surface for painting, and then polished smooth with special tools On this perfect surface, the artist would sketch a

composition with chalk, refine it with inks, and then begin the deliberate process of applying thin

layers of egg tempera paint (egg yolk in which pigments are suspended) with small brushes The successive layering of these meticulously applied paints produced the final translucent colors

Backgrounds or gold were made by carefully applying sheets of gold leaf, and then embellishing

of decorating the gold leaf by punching it with a metal rod on which a pattern had been embossed Every step in the process was slow and deliberate The quick-drying tempera demanded that the artist know exactly where each stroke be placed before the brush met the panel, and it required the use of fine brushes It was, therefore, an ideal technique for emphasizing the hard linear edges and pure, fine areas of color that were so much a part of the overall aesthetic of the time The notion that an artist could or would dash off an idea in a fit of spontaneous inspiration was completely alien to these deliberately produced works

Furthermore, making these paintings was so time-consuming that it demanded assistance All such work was done by collective enterprise in the workshops The painter or master who is credited

with having created the painting may have designed the work and overseen its production, but it is highly unlikely that the artist’s hand applied every stroke of the brush More likely, numerous

assistants, who had been trained to imitate the artist’s style, applied the paint The carpenter’s shop

probably provided the frame and perhaps supplied the panel, and yet another shop supplied the gold Thus, not only many hands, but also many shops were involved in the final product In spite of problems with their condition, restoration, and preservation, many panel paintings have survived, and today many of them are housed in museum collections

A Different styles B Famous examples C Production D Restoration

Question 56: According to the passage, what was the first step in making a panel painting?

A Mixing the paint B Making ink drawings

C Preparing the panel D Buying the gold leaf

A composition B artist C chalk D surface

Question 58: The word “deliberate” is closest in meaning to _

A careful B decisive C unusual D natural

Question 59: Which of the following processes produced the translucent colors found on panel

paintings?

A Applying many layers of paint B Joining wooden planks to form large sheets

C Polishing the gesso D Covering the background with gold leaf

Question 60: What characteristic of tempera paint is mentioned in the passage?
