Even with his diverse experience as an elected official at the state level, Andrew Johnson
was the first president of the United States ever to be impeached, primarily because of his violent
temper and unyielding stubbornness. His career started in 1828 with his collection to the city
council of Greenville, Tennessee, and after two years as an alderman, he took office as mayor. His
advancements followed in rapid succession when he was elected to the Tennessee state senate,
then as the state governor, and later to the U.S. House of Representatives for five consecutive
terms.
In 1864, Johnson ran for the office of vice-president on the Lincoln- Johnson ticket and was
inaugurated in 1865. After Lincoln’s assassination six weeks into his term, Johnson found himself
president at a time when southern leaders were concerned about their forced alliance with the
northern states and feared retaliation for their support of the secession. Instead, however, with
the diplomatic skill he had learned from Lincoln, Johnson offered full pardon to almost all
Confederates on the condition that they take an oath of allegiance. He further reorganized the
former Confederate states and set up legislative elections.
Congressional opposition to his peace- making policies resulted in gridlock between the
House and Johnson, and the stalemate grew into an open conflict on the issue of the emancipation
of slaves. While Johnson held the view that newly freed slaves lacked understanding and
knowledge of civil liberties to vote intelligently, Congress overrode Johnson’s veto of the Civil
Rights Bill, which awarded them citizenship and ratified the Fourteenth Amendment. In the years
that followed, Congress passed bills depriving the president of the power to pardon political
criminals, stripping away his status of commander-in-chief, and taking away Johnson’s right to
dismiss civil and executive officers from their duties. Johnson vetoed each bill, and each veto was
overridden. When Johnson dismissed the secretary of war, Edwin Stanton, Stanton refused to step
down and was supported by the House of Representatives, which voted to impeach Johnson. At
the trial, the Senate came one vote short of the two-thirds majority necessary to remove him from
office. After Johnson’s term expired, he returned to his home state, but in 1875 he was elected
senator and went back to Washington to take his seat.

Even before the turn of the century, movies began to develop in two major directions: the
realistic and the formalistic. Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute,
terms. When used to suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in
the end they are just labels. Few films are exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are
completely realist. There is also an important difference between realism and reality, although
this distinction is often forgotten. Realism is a particular type, whereas physical reality is the
source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic and formalistic. Virtually, all movie directors
go to the photographable world for their subject matter, but what they do with this material- how
they shape and manipulate it- determines their stylistic emphasis.
Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with
a minimum of distortion. In photographing objects and events, the Filmmaker tries to suggest the
copiousness of life itself. Both realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence
emphasize) certain details from the chaotic sprawl of reality. But the element of selectivity in
realistic films is less obvious. Realists, in short, to preserve the illusion that their film world
is unmanipulated, an objective mirror the actual world. Formalists, on the other hand, make no
such pretense. They deliberately stylize and distort their raw materials so that only the very naive
would mistake a manipulated image of an object or event for the real thing. We rarely notice the
style in a realistic movie; the artist tends to be self-effacing. The filmmakers are more concerned
with what is being shown than how it is manipulated. The camera is used conservatively. It is
essentially a recording mechanism that produces the surface of tangible objects with as little
commentary as possible. A high premium is placed on simplicity, spontaneity, and directness. It is
not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the realistic cinema
specializes in art that conceals art.
Question 43. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Styles of filmmaking B. Filmmaking 100 years ago C. Acting styles D. Film plots

B. Realistic films are more popular than formalistic ones.

D. Formalistic films are less artistic than realistic ones.
Question 45. The phrase "this distinction" in the first paragraph refers to the difference between
A. general and absolute B. physical reality and raw materials
C. formalists and realists D. realism and reality
Question 46. Whom does the author say is primarily responsible for a style of film?
A. The producer B. The camera operator C. The director D. The actors
Question 47. The word "copiousness" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_________.
A. abundance B. greatness C. fullness D. variety
Question 48. How can one recognize the formalist style?
A. it mirrors the actual world. B. it obviously manipulated images.
