THE ART WORLD
One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist. In effect, a market must be
created for an artist to be successful. The practice of signing and numbering individual prints was introduced by James
Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth century artist best known for the painting of his mother, called "Arrangement in
Grey and Black", but known to most of us as "Whistler’s Mother". Whistler’s brother-in-law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a
less well-known artist, had speculated that collectors might find prints more attractive if they knew that there were only a
limited number of copies produced. By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print.
As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase
in value. When other artists noticed that the signed prints commanded higher prices, they began copying the procedure.
Although most prints are signed on the right-hand side in the margin below the image, the placement of the signature
is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within image, in any of the margins, or even on the reverse
side of the print. Wherever the artist elects to sign it, a signed print is still valued above an unsigned one, even in the
same edition.

A. His fame as an artist. B. His painting of his mother.
C. His signature on the prints. D. His brother-in-law’s prints.
Question 41. The word “speculated" in the paragraph 1 could best be replaced by ________.
A. guessed B. noticed C. denied D. announced
Question 42. The word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. the same edition B. the image C. the reverse side D. a print
Question 43. The author mentions all of the following as reasons why a collector prefers a signed print EXCEPT
_______.
A. it guarantees the print’s authenticity B. it makes the print more personal
C. it encourages higher prices for the print D. it limits the number of copies of the print

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 from 44 to 50.
Today, text-messaging has probably become young people’s most common form of communication. Some teachers
think that because of this, young people are not writing correctly at school. They fear that once students get used to it,
they will find it hard to switch back to using correct grammar and spelling. How did things begin this way?
It all began with e-mail, online chat rooms, and games. Then step by step young people made sentences, phrases and
words shorter. As text-messaging continued to become popular, people invented more and more words. Today, it is like a
real language with its own grammar and vocabulary. The growth of text-messaging has raised an important question: As
students become fluent in text messaging, do their writing skills suffer?
People have different ideas about the effects of text-messaging on students’ writing skills. Some say that students are
losing the ability to write long, correct sentences. Others say that text-messaging is having a good effect on the language
students use in then schoolwork. It shows that they are creative and good at expressing themselves. And if students can
keep the two systems separate - one for text messaging and one for school - this will help students appreciate reading and
writing more.
Some people suggest that one way to reduce the bad effects of text-messaging is to find ways to use technology as a
positive learning tool. For example, students can be allowed to type their assignments in a cell phone message and send
them to their teachers, but they must type correctly. In this way, students are using the technology that they are familiar
with to communicate in a form of language suitable for schoolwork. It shows students that text-messaging is fine for social
communication, but correct grammar and spelling are necessary for communication in school.
