to paint in an entirely abstract manner [2] He painted a set of six abstract works around 1910, prior to the European artist Wassily Kandinsky‟s famous abstract compositions [3] Kandinsky‟s abstract work, however, complemented the cultural context in Europe, and was therefore appreciated Dove‟s work had no similar cultural context in America [4] Overall, Dove's abstract paintings did nothing to change Amercican art His work was not once but twice orphaned : by the general indifference of the Amercican public, and by his own reclusive nature Nevertheless, Dove's abstract paintings remain interesting compositions on nature Dove once wrote, “I would like to make something that is real in itself, or to be real without looking like something else, that does not remind anyone of any other thing, and that does not have to be explained, like the letter A for instance.” Question 45: What is the main purpose of this passage? A to discuss the effects of Dove‟s work on Europe B to compare the works of Dove and Kandinsky C to explain why Dove‟s work is famous D to explain why Dove‟s paintings did not change the American art scene Question 46: According to the passage, why weren‟t Dove‟s works noticed? A Because there were too many abstract nature painters at the time B Because his paintings did nothing to change society C Because they did not have a cultural context in America D Because America was not interested in European painters Question 47: The word "orphaned" in the passage is closest in meaning to A criticized B ignored C valued D destroyed Question 48: According to the passage, which of the following is not true about Dove and Kandinsky? A One was popular, while the other not B They were both European painters C Their works were somewhat similar D They were boih abstract artists Question 49: The word "indịfference" in the passage is the opposite of A dislike B interest C joy D ignorance Question 50: Which of the following can be inferred from the reading? A Dove gave up painting because the American public did not care B Dove„s work is more appreciated today than when it first appeared C Dove did not have support from European artists D Dove‟s unsuccessful exhibition led him to change his style Question 51: Which is the best place for the following sentence? “This, however, did not make him famous.” A [1] B [2] C [3] D [4] Question 52: The word “reclusive" in the passage is closest in meaning to A charming B sociable C shy D generous Question 53: Which of the following best expresses the meaning of the quotation?

Question 55: What is the topic of the passage? A The decline of TV today B Benefits of TV today C TV and culture D Why “24” became a hit Question 56: Which is the best place for the following sentence? “It is not only hour−long dramas that make us smarter." A [l] B [2] C [3] D [4] Question 57: The word “each” in paragraph I refers to A story lines B characters C episodes D personalities Question 58: The author begins the passage by discussing “24” in order to A prove that TV has become much more violent B show how TV has become more complex C explain why many TV shows nowadays are controversial D argue against ỈIS graphic violence and portrayal of terrorists Question 59: It can be inferred that the author of the passage A agrees with Steven Johnson‟s views B strongly disagrees with Steven Johnson's views C has no opinion about Steven Johnson‟s views D agrees with some of Johnson‟s views but disagrees with others Question 60: According to the passage, Johnson‟s book argues all following except that A popular culture is not in decline B many TV shows involve cognitive challenges C people enjoy the effort of understanding complex shows D hour−long dramas bring the greatest benefits Question 61: "Multi−threading" in TV is a new type of A form B content C series D character Question 62: The author mentions "junk culture” in paragraph in order to A emphasize how worthless most TV shows are B contrast a common view of TV with the one he presents in the passage C explain why TV viewing is in decline in the United States D argue against the view that popular culture can be worthwhile Question 63: The word “they" in paragraph refers to A junk B shows C games D “Joe Millionaire” and "The Bachelor” Question 64: The word "detecting" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A making B admiring C remembering D finding Part II Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence Question65: Students may not park here  Students are Question66: We‟ve written fifty per cent of the report already  Half Question67: She didn‟t escape injury; she wasn't wearing a crash helmet  If only Question68: Amy was bitten by a dog when she was very young and she still remembers it  Amy still remembers Question69: “I shall return the day after tomorrow."
