READING COMPREHENSION
QUESTIONS 1 – 10
At first glance it might seem that a true artist is a solitary toiler in possession of a unique
talent that differentiates her or him from the rest of society. But after further reflection it is
quite apparent that the artist is a product of the society in which she or he toils rather than an
Lin
e entity removed from society. The genius of an artist is really a measure of the artist's ability to
5 work within the framework imposed by society, to make use of resources provided by society,
and, most important, to mirror a society's values. It is society that imposes a structure on the
artist, and the successful artist must work within this framework. Societies have found various
methods to support and train their artists, be it the Renaissance system of royal support of the
sculptures and painters of the period or the Japanese tradition of passing artistic knowledge
10 from father to son. The artist is also greatly affected by the physical resources of her or his
society. The medium chosen by the artist is a reflection not only of the artist's perception of
aesthetic beauty but of resources that society has to supply. After all, wood carvings come from
societies with forests, bronze statues come from societies with available supplies of metal, and
woven woolen rugs come from societies of shepherds. Finally, the artist must reflect the values,
15 both aesthetic and moral, of the society in which she or he toils. The idea of beauty changes
from society to society, as seen in the oft cited example of Ruben's rounded women versus
today's gamin like sylphs, and the artist must serve as mirror of her or his society's measure of
perfection. And society's moral values must equally be reflected in art if it is to be universally
accepted.

QUESTIONS 11 – 14

A new atomic clock being developed for navigation satellites will perform better than
previous devices. The clock, which incorporates a hydrogen maser, will use a new microwave
cavity design to provide a compact and lightweight package, and new electronic techniques to
Lin
e maintain long-term stability. The clock can provide precise navigation information because it is
5 stable to one second in three million years. The differences in the time when signals from four
satellites arrive at one location can be used to calculate that position to within a few yards.
11. From the passage, it can be inferred that 13. According to the passage, signals from
which of the following characteristics of how many satellites will be used to
