He chose early to become a painter<br /> and looked for what training was available in his home state and in Boston. Earl was one of the first<br /> American artists to paint landscapes. Among his first paintings were scenes from the Revolutionary<br /> War battles of Lexington and Concord. In 1778 Earl went to London to study with Benjamin West<br /> for four years.<br /> When Earl returned to the United States, he was jailed for fourteen months for fourteen months<br /> for outstanding debts. While still a prisoner, he painted portraits of some of New York City’s most<br /> elegant society women and their husbands. After he release, he took up the trade of itinerant portrait<br /> painter, working his way through southern New England and New York. Earl didn’t flatter his<br /> subjects, but his portraits show a deep understanding of them, perhaps because he had sprung from<br /> the same roots.<br /> Among Earl’s most famous paintings in his portrait of Justice Oliver Ellsworth and his wife,<br /> Abigail. To provide counterpoint to the severity of the couple, he accurately details the relative<br /> luxury of the Ellsworth's interior furnishings. The view through the window behind them shows<br /> sunlit fields, well-kept fences, and a bend of the Connecticut River. One of the Earl’s paintings<br /> is something of an anomaly. Reclining Hunter, which for many years was attributed to Thomas<br /> Gainsborough, shows a well-dressed gentleman resting beneath a tree. In the foreground, he displays<br /> a pile of birds, the result of a day’s hunt. The viewer can also see a farmer’s donkey lying in the<br /> background, another of the hunter’s victims. This outrageously funny portrait couldn’t have been<br /> commissioned-no one would have wanted to be portrayed in such an absurd way. However, this<br /> painting uncharacteristically shows Earl’s wit as well as his uncommon technical skills.<br /> Câu 22: What is the author’s main purpose?<br /> A. To compare the art of Ralph Earl and Thomas Gainsborough<br /> B. To trace Ralph Earl’s artistic influences<br /> C. To describe the art scene in New York in the late eighteenth century<br /> D.

Teacher<br /> Câu 25: Which of the following could be substituted for outstanding without changing the meaning<br /> of the sentence?<br /> A. Unpaid<br /> B. Illegal<br /> C. Shocking<br /> D. Excellent<br /> Câu 26: According to the passage, one of the distinguishing features of the portrait of Oliver and<br /> Abigail Ellsworth is the contrast between______.<br /> A. the sunlit fields and the dark interior<br /> B. the plainness of the figures and the luxury of the furnishings<br /> C. the two styles used to paint the two figures<br /> D. the straight fences and the curving Connecticut River<br /> Câu 27: The word he refers to ______.<br /> A.

Honesty<br /> Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br /> correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.<br /> MEMORY<br /> "Memorize these words". "Learn this spelling rule". "Don't forget about the quiz tomorrow".<br /> You remember things every day, but how do you do it?<br /> When you want to call a store or an office that you don't call often, you look in the telephone book<br /> for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it! You use your short-term memory to<br /> remember the number. Your short-term memory lasts about 30 seconds, or half a minute. However,<br /> you don't need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number because you already<br /> know it. This information is in your long-term memory. Your long-term memory has everything that<br /> you remember through the years.<br /> Why do you forget things sometimes? Is there a reason? Yes, there are several. The major reason<br /> for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well in the beginning. For example, you meet<br /> some new people, and right away, you forget their names. You hear the names but you do not learn<br /> them, so you forget them.<br /> You can help yourself remember better. Here are some ideas:<br /> 1. Move information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. You can do this if<br /> you practice the new information. Say it to yourself out loud. Think about it.<br /> 2. After you learn something, study it again and again. Learn it more than you need to. This<br /> process is called overlearning. For example, when you learn new words, practice using them in<br /> sentences. Don't try to memorize words from a list only.<br /> 3. Make sure that you understand new information. It is very difficult to remember something that<br /> you don't understand. Ask questions when you learn something new to be certain that you<br /> understand.<br /> 4. Do not listen to music or watch TV when you study. You will remember better if you<br /> concentrate on one thing at a time.<br /> 5. Try to connect new information with something that you already know. For example, when you<br /> learn the name of a new kind of food, think of a similar kind of food that you already know.<br /> 6. Divide new information into several parts (about five or six). Learn one part at time and stop<br /> for few minutes. Don't sit down and try to learn a very large amount of new information all at once.<br /> 7. Try to make a picture in your mind. For example, if you hear or see a new word, make a picture<br /> of how it looks to you in your mind. This “mental” picture will help you remember that word the<br /> next time you see or hear it.<br /> Trang 5/6 - Mã đề thi 245<br /> <br />
