Passage 1
David Belasco’s 1912 Broadway production of The Governors Lady created a sensation with a scene set in a Childs cafeteria, a chain restaurant that was an innovator in food standardization and emblematic of modern everyday life. While Belasco’s meticulously detailed reproduction of an immediately recognizable setting impressed the public, it was derided by progressive theater critics who championed the New Stagecraft theories of European artists like Max Reinhardt. The New Stagecraft rejected theatrical literalism; it drew inspiration from the subjectivity and minimalism of modern painters, advocating simplified sets designed to express a dramatic texts central ideas. Such critics considered Belasco a craftsman who merely captured surface realities: a true artist eliminated the inessential to create more meaningful, expressive stage images.
1. The author of the passage implies which of the following about Belasco’s production of The Governors Lady?
A. It was dismissed by certain theater critics who misunders tood Belasco’s conception of modernity.
B. It was intended to marshal elements of the New Stagecraft to serve Belasco’s predilection for realistic staging.
C. It demonstrated that theatrical literalism could be used effectively to express a dramatic texts central ideas.
D. It elicited responses that reflected a discrepancy between popular tastes in entertainment and the tastes of progressive theater critics.
E. It relied on the appeal of an impressively realistic stage set to compensate for weaknesses in other aspects of the production.
2. It can be inferred that the theater critics would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about the theatrical productions?
A. Theatrical productions that seek to eliminate the inessential also often eliminate theatrical elements that enhance the expressiveness of a play.
B. Theatrical productions that faithfully recreate the visual details of everyday life are unlikely to do justice to a good play’s central ideas.
C. Theatrical productions that employ the minimalism characteristic of modern paintings may have greater appeal to modern audiences than productions that rely on theatrical literalism.
D. Theatrical productions that aim to represent truths about modern life should not attempt to employ elements of the New Stagecraft.
E. Theatrical productions that attempt to produce authentic-looking scenes of everyday reality are likely to fail in that goal because of the theaters inherent limitations.
Archaeologists studying Bonito phase (ca. A.D. 900-1140) Native American ceramics from Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, observed that many pots had been altered after firing to revise their decorative designs--usually, intricate geometric patterns painted in black on white slipped surfaces. In some cases, a new design was imposed over an earlier one; less often, the original design was simply covered with white slip. Crown and Wills doubt that the alterations were made to correct design errors. Many Chaco pots with design errors were left unaltered. Furthermore, when errors were corrected, revisions were made prior to firing—either by painting directly over the error or by scraping off designs and applying new slip and paint, which is a less time-consuming method than repainting and refiring flawed pots.
1. The author of the passage mentions Crown and Wills primarily in order to
A. Distinguish among different factors that might have caused Chaco potters to alter their pots’ decorative designs.
B. Introduce new evidence related to the question o f why Chaco potters altered their pots’ decorative designs.
C. Show how one potential explanation for the alteration of Chaco pots has been discounted.
D. Present a hypothesis about why Chaco pots were altered to revise their decorative designs.
E. Explain how archaeologists discerned the method by which Chaco pots were originally decorated.
2. According to the passage, which of the following is true of Bonito phase Chaco pots?
A. Relatively few of them have original designs concealed beneath white surfaces.
B. Relatively few of them were altered after firing.
C. Many of their alterations increased the intricacy of their painted designs.
D. Many of them have some flaw in their shape or structure.
E. Many of them were altered more than once.
The physicist Wallace Sabine pioneered the scientific study of architectural acoustics when he was asked in 1895 to fix a university lecture hall in which the echo of a speaker’s words rendered them unintelligible. He found that the length of time it takes a sound’s echo to decay is determined by the absorption of the sound’s original energy by surrounding material. By hanging panels of sound-absorbing felt on the walls, Sabine reduced the echo enough to make the hall usable. And the data he compiled yielded a mathematical formula for the relationship between a room’s echo duration, its quantity and quality of sound-absorbing materials, and its spatial volume.
1. Which of the following can be inferred about the ‘university lecture hall’ mentioned in the passage?
A. It was not originally designed to be used for lecture.
B. It was more suitable for listening to music than for listening to the spoken word.
C. Its walls had surfaces made of material with very poor sound-absorbing properties.
D. Its poor acoustics resulted from its being designed to accommodate a large audience.
E. It was constructed at a time when sound-absorbing building materials were not readily available.
2. The passage suggests that Sabine’s work made which of the following possible for the first time?
A. to make a room soundproof
B. to build an auditorium out of sound-absorbing materials
C. to construct an enclosed space in which sound would not echo
D. to design a building to meet predetermined specifications with regard to echo duration
E. to render any large room usable for public lectures and performances
In recent decades, scholars of American literature have skillfully revealed authors’ simultaneous accommodation and resistance to an increasingly commercialized, capitalized environment during the early nineteenth century. Historians of the period have not, however, fully exploited literary criticism, due to the disciplinary boundaries that mark contemporary academic research. Few historians have extensive training in critical theory and its specialized languages, and the sheer volume of work in early American history and literature challenges anyone who would master either field, much less both. Moreover, historians study people across the nation, but much literary scholarship called “American” actually examines works produced in northeastern states. And historians usually study the operations of capitalism in its details, while literary critics produce a generalized picture of literary commodification.
1. As discussed in the passage, the literary scholars and the historians differ in which of the following ways?
A. the amount of scholarship that they produce
B. the nature of their geographic focus
C. the extent to which they are critical of early capitalism
D. the extent to which they are interested in interdisciplinary study
E. The extent to which they restrict their focus to a particular time period
2. The passage cites which of the following as a reason for historians’ failure to fully exploit literary criticism?
A. historians’ overly thematic approach to literature
B. historians’ conservative notion of what constitutes literature
C. historian’s lack of interest in critical theory
D. the distinctive nature of much literary criticism
E. the ahistorical quality of much literary criticism
3. The passage cites which of the following as reasons for historians’ failure to fully exploit literary criticism?
A. The amount of scholarship involved
B. The distinctive nature of literary criticism
C. The ahistorical quality of much literary criticism
