is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it Jupiter’s less than 10-hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system insofar as the principal planets are concerned There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of the orbital plane is only just over less than that for any other planet The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot It has shown variations in both intensity and color, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years At its greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometers long an 14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in longitude Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 12000 The latitude is generally very close to -22 It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter’s outer gas However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology Its longevity may well be due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted 81 According to

painted portraits, and engravings based on them, were one of the few ways to record likenesses From the Colonial era through the 1820s, portraiture was the most widely practiced genre of American art, and it continued to be a significant form through the 19th century The demand for likenesses was incessant, and portraiture was often the primary source of income for artists Artists frequently made portraits of famous people to attract interest and potential patrons For example, in 1834 Chester Harding painted frontiersman Davy Crockett, then a member of the U.S House of Representatives, for display in his Boston gallery A consistent belief through most of the 18th and 19th centuries was that character could be read from a person's face, or the bumps on his or her head, or from facial expressions, and that portraits should convey these indicators of character These theories of physiognomy and phrenology have since been debunked, but they were important considerations in depicting the nation's leaders, since such portraits were often made for posterity Most people had only one portrait painted in their lifetime, if at all, so artists were selected with great care, and expectations were high Before the 1840s, American portraiture was influenced primarily by English techniques, poses, compositions and gestures, and many artists received at least part of their training in England Even canvas sizes followed the British example Portraits made on commission were priced according to canvas size and the materials and labor involved In the late 19th century as European portraitists began traveling to the United States to acquire commissions from the growing upper class, American artists increasingly felt they needed to train abroad in order to succeed at home Paris continued to be the main lure as painters such as Eakins, Whistler, Beaux and Sargent went to study there Some of America's best-known portraitists, in fact, became expatriates 66 What does the passage mainly discussed?

A painted portraits and engravings were very lifelike B there was no accurate way to record a likeness before photography was invented C there were not many ways other than painted portraits and engravings if you wanted to record what somebody looked like D engravings were based on portraits and not as lifelike 68 Why does the author mention Davy Crocket in paragraph 1? A as an example of an artist using a famous person to gain attention to his work B because Crocket was also a famous artist C as an example of the types of people who could afford to pay for their portrait to be painted D because gallery owners often had famous people as patrons 69 In paragraph 2, what did people look for in a good portrait? A clear facial expressions B an accurate likeness C indicators of character D every detail, including bumps on the head 70 Physiognomy and phrenology are theories …………… A that are no longer as popular B that were used to enable people to select artists with the best characteristics in their appearance C that meant people usually only needed one portrait D that were used to try to get the closet likeness possible 71 The word poses is closest in meaning to ………… A stance B height C weight D manner 72 The word acquire is closest in meaning to ………… A steal B borrow C ask D get 73 In what ways did American artists try to gain greater success?
