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 61 to 70.

Before photography was invented in 1839, 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.

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 71 to 80.

Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial, language. It was created more than a century ago by Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common language would help to alleviate some of the misunderstandings among cultures.

In Zamenhof’s first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as uncomplicated as possible. This first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, eb, be, and ce. This did not

result in a workable language in that these monosyllabic words, though short, were not easy to understand or to retain.

Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He made the words in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously. One example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end in o, as in the noun amiko, which means “friend”, and all adjectives end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means

“pretty”. Another example of the simplified language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means “enemy”, and the word malbela therefore means

“ugly” in Zamenhof’s language.

In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it. He used a pen name, Dr.

Esperanto, when signing the book. He selected the name Esperanto because this word means “a person who hopes” in his language. Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout Europe, and by 1950, Esperanto had spread from Europe to America and Asia.

In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately700 attendees from 20 different countries. Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation.

Esperanto has had its ups and downs in the period since World War I. Today, years after it was introduced, it is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a million people are fluent in it. This may seem like a large number, but it is really quite small when compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in today’s world. Current advocates would like to see its use grow considerably and are taking steps to try to make this happen.

Question 71: The topic of this passage is

A. a language developed in the last few years B. one man’s efforts to create a universal language C. using language to communicate internationally D. how language can be improve

Question 72: According to the passage, Zamenhof wanted to create a universal language A. to provide a more complex language B. to create one world culture

C. to resolve cultural differences D. to build a name for himself

Question 73: It can be inferred from the passage that the Esperanto word malespera means

A. hopelessness B. hopeless C. hope D. hopeful

Question 74: The expression “popping up” in line 17 could best be replaced by

A. hiding B. shouting C. leaping D. opening

Question 75: It can be inferred from the passage that the Third World Congress of Esperanto took place

A. in 1909 B. in 1907 C. in 1913 D. in 1905

Question 76: According to the passage, what happened to the Tenth World Esperanto Congress?

A. It was scheduled for 1915 B. It had attendees from20 countries

C. It never took place D. It had 4,000 attendees

Question 77: The expression “ups and downs” in line 23 is closest in meaning to A. takeoffs and landings B. floors and ceilings

C. highs and lows D. tops and bottoms

Question 78: Which paragraph describes the predecessor to Esperanto?

A. The first paragraph B. The second paragraph

C. The third paragraph D. The fourth paragraph

Question 79: The passage would most likely be assigned reading in a course on

A. applied linguistics B. European history C. English grammar D. world government Question 80: The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses

A. another of Zamenhof ’s accomplishments

B. attempts to reconvene the World Congress of Esperanto in the 1920s C. the disadvantages of using an artificial language

D. how current supporters of Esperanto are encouraging its growth
