In effect, a market<br /> must be created for an artist to become successful. The practice of signing and numbering individual prints was<br /> introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth-century artist best known for the painting of his<br /> mother, called “Arrangement in Grey and Black,” but known to most of us as “Whistler’s Mother.” Whistler’s<br /> brother-in-law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a less well-known artist, had speculated that collectors might find<br /> prints more attractive if they knew that there were only a limited number of copies produced. By signing the<br /> work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print.<br /> As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work began to<br /> increase in value. When other artists noticed that the signed prints commanded higher prices, they began<br /> copying the procedure.<br /> Although most prints are signed on the right-hand side in the margin below the image, the placement of the<br /> signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within the image, in any of the<br /> margins, or even on the reverse side of the print. Whenever the artist elects to sign it, a signed print is still<br /> valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition.<br /> Câu 3: The author mentions all of the following as reasons why a collector prefers a signed print EXCEPT<br /> A. it encourages higher prices for the print<br /> B. it guarantees the print’s authenticity<br /> C. it limits the number of copies of the print<br /> D. it makes the print more personal<br /> Câu 4: The word “it” refers to__________.<br /> A. the reverse side<br /> B. the same edition<br /> C. a print<br /> D. the image<br /> Câu 5: What does the author mean by the statement: “As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of<br /> signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value.”?<br /> A. The signing and numbering of prints was not very popular.<br /> B. Many copies of the prints were made.<br /> C. The prints that were signed and numbered were worth more.<br /> D. The signatures became more valuable than the prints.<br /> Câu 6: It can be inferred from the passage that artists number their prints<br /> A. at the same place on each of the prints<br /> B. to guarantee a limited edition<br /> C. as an accounting procedure<br /> D. when the buyer requests it<br /> Câu 7: Which of the following would be a better title for the passage?<br /> A.

Spelunking, or speleology, is the study of<br /> caves. The daring spelunker must face bottomless pits, scale steep rock walls, and crawl through spaces too<br /> small to stand up in. He must cope with darkness, unchanging temperatures, and mud, mud, mud.<br /> Like mountain climbing, spelunking is carried on in groups, with the einphasis on teamwork and safety. A<br /> spelunker, if he is a scientist in search of accurate information, must have special skill and endurance as he<br /> must get himself in and out of narrow crevices, carrying with him a good deal of scientific equipment.<br /> There is much to learn from the exploring of caves. Fossils of prehistoric animals and plants are often<br /> found in caves. Anthropologists studying the origins of man have found bones and wall drawings to increase<br /> their knowledge of man's early history.<br /> There are many kinds of caves, all of them interesting to the speleologist. Waves pounding on cliffs have<br /> hollowed out sea caves. Hot lava flowing down the sides of volcanoes has left lava caves. The melting and<br /> freezing of glaciers and icebergs has formed ice caves.
