Reading Comprehension
Should we really care for the greatest actors of the past could we have them before us? Should we find
them too different from our accent of thought, of feeling, of speech, in a thousand minute particulars
which are of the essence of all three? Dr. Doran’s long and interesting records of the triumphs of Garrick,
and other less familiar, but in their day hardly less astonishing, players, do not relieve one of the doubt.
Garrick himself, as sometimes happens with people who have been the subject of much anecdote and
other conversation, here as elsewhere, bears no very distinct figure. One hardly sees the wood for the
trees. On the other hand, the account of Betterton, “perhaps the greatest of English actors,” is
delightfully fresh. That intimate friend of Dryden, Tillatson, Pope, who executed a copy of the actor’s
portrait by Kneller which is still extant, was worthy of their friendship; his career brings out the best
elements in stage life. The stage in these volumes presents itself indeed not merely [88] as a mirror of
life, but as an illustration of the utmost intensity of life, in the fortunes and characters of the players. Ups
and downs, generosity, dark fates, the most delicate goodness, have nowhere been more prominent than
in the private existence of those devoted to the public mimicry of men and women. Contact with the
stage, almost throughout its history, presents itself as a kind of touchstone, to bring out the bizarrerie,
the theatrical tricks and contrasts, of the actual world.
Question.25
In the expression “One hardly sees the wood for the trees”, the author apparently intends the word trees
to be analogous to
Question.26
Information supplied in the passage is sufficient to answer which of the following questions?
I. Who did Doran think was probably the best English actor?
III. Would the author give a definite answer to the first question posed in the passage?
(A)I Only
(B)II Only
(C)I and III only
A sanctuary may be defined as a place where Man is passive and the rest of Nature active. Till quite
recently Nature had her own sanctuaries, where man either did not go at all or only as a tool-using
animal in comparatively small numbers. But now, in this machinery age, there is no place left where man
cannot go with overwhelming forces at his command. He can strangle to death all the nobler wild life in
the world to-day. To-morrow he certainly will have done so, unless he exercises due foresight and self-
control in the mean time.
There is not the slightest doubt that birds and mammals are now being killed off much faster than they
can breed. And it is always the largest and noblest forms of life that suffer most. The whales and
elephants, lions and eagles, go. The rats and flies, and all mean parasites, remain. This is inevitable in
certain cases. But it is wanton killing off that I am speaking of to-night. Civilized man begins by
destroying the very forms of wild life he learns to appreciate most when he becomes still more civilized.
The obvious remedy is to begin conservation at an earlier stage, when it is easier and better in every
way, by enforcing laws for close seasons, game preserves, the selective protection of certain species, and
sanctuaries.
I have just defined a sanctuary as a place where man is passive and the rest of Nature active. But this
general definition is too absolute for any special case. The mere fact that man has to protect a sanctuary
does away with his purely passive attitude. Then, he can be beneficially active by destroying pests and
parasites, like bot-flies or mosquitoes, and by finding antidotes for diseases like the epidemic which
periodically kills off the rabbits and thus starves many of the carnivora to death. But, except in cases
where experiment has proved his intervention to be beneficial, the less he upsets the balance of Nature
the better, even when he tries to be an earthly Providence.
Question.27
The author implies that his first definition of a sanctuary is
A. totally wrong
B. somewhat idealistic
C. unhelpful
D. indefensible
E. immutable
Question.28
It can be inferred that the passage is
Question.29
The purpose of the final paragraph is
D. to propose a program
Question.30
The author’s argument that destroying bot-flies and mosquitoes would be a beneficial action is most
weakened by all of the following EXCEPT
B. the elimination of any species can have unpredictable effects on the balance of nature
E. elimination of these insects would require the use of insecticides that kill a wide range of insects
