Structural Analysis
Please divide the text into 3 parts and summarize the main idea of each part.
Part I (Paragraphs 1-3) Introduction
The art world is on the verge of a revolution that will completely overturn artistic conventions and, in fact, our entire perception of art. Computer art is accessible, multisensual, and interactive; it varies over time and is conscious of the art consumer. These salient features of computer art call for a reassessment of our entire conception of art.

If Picasso Were a ProgrammerForget paintbrushes and chisels. Today's hottest new art tools are XML and Java.Susan Delson, Best of The Web, 06.25.011. Type a Web site URL—any URL—into "FEED", an online artwork by Mark Napier (). Immediately the screen's nine windows jump into action. Text zooms by at unreadable speed. Colors careen through a grid of tiny squares. A horizontal graph whips up three-color spikes like a demonic EKG. Abruptly, the action ceases for a moment; the screen radiates an almost meditative calm. And then it all starts again, until the entire Web site has been processed. Stripping away what Napier calls the "distracting veneer of content," "Feed" turns Web data into a dizzying display of graphical activity—part mathematical algorithm, part Jackson Pollock.2. This is not your mother's over-the-couch art. Napier's "antibrowser" is just one example of a new type of visual expression: digital, dynamic and made specifically for the Internet. Some works, like "Feed," reshape live data from the Web. Others use telerobotics, Flash animation and Web browsers the way Leonardo daVinci used paint and charcoal. As varied as the technologies that produce it, online art is flourishing. This year it hit the museum scene, big-time, and now galleries are trying to figure out how to sell it.3. This spring saw the rollout of major Net art exhibitions on both coasts, from the San Francisco Museum of ModernArt's010101: Art in Technological Times to the Whitney Museum of American Art's recent Data Dynamics. New York's Museum of Modern Art, London's Tate Britain and even the staid Smithsonian are getting into the act. Meanwhile, long-running digital culture siteslike and act as incubators for this high-tech art. (For a list of sites, see Is It Art Yet?)4. So, online art's out there. But…is it art? For the people who make it, the answer is indisputably yes. "My criteria forart is that it's beautiful and that it changes the way you see the world," says Martin Wattenberg, whose works are featured on several museum sites. "To my mind, this art is both." 5. But those of us who don't program software might not be so sure. Net art is less than a decade old, and even its most ardent champions wouldn't describe it as a mature medium. Photography took more than half a century to be taken seriously as a fine art form. Video spent years on the countercultural fringes before reaching the museum gallery. By comparison, online art is still in its formative stages. Observes Wattenberg, who has worked visualizing financial data for since 1996, "If Net art were a company, right now would be a couple of months before the IPO."6. For the artists that's part of the appeal. But it also means that the idea behind a work can sometimes be more compelling than what actually appears on the screen. And for viewers without a thorough grounding in technology—or advanced math—the most innovative visual programs can seem like little more than high-end screensavers.7.But Web art is much more than that. Its most striking difference from traditional art is the more active role of theviewer—or should we say, user—whose input is often essential to completing the work. Take "Apartment," a work by Wattenberg and Marek Walczak. As users type their thoughts into the computer, the program translates their words into blueprints for individual apartments—the more talk about dreams and sex, for instance, the bigger the bedroom. The basic set-up couldn't be simpler: no user, no art.8. You might get used to interacting with your art. But will you want to collect this stuff? Art dealers call Net art a tough sell. "People love objects," explains gallery owner Sandra Gering, who first worked with online art back in the mid-1990s. This art is only accessible to those with a computer and a Web connection.9. For the time being at least, works that embed Net art in physical installations fare considerably better in the marketplace. While computer code is the core of John F. Simon's art, Gering sells his work as sculptural objects—software, computer and screen in a complete package. And in a concept borrowed from printmaking (and video art), she issues them in limited editions of a dozen or less—all of which have sold out, at prices ranging from $20,000 to $50,000. If the softwarecrashes, the collector simply ships the piece back to the gallery for a quick fix by Simon.10. One collector, New Jersey physician John Burger, who's bought all five editions to date, never even owned a personal computer. For him, Simon's works are abstract art—"so intelligent, so creative, so unlike anything I'd ever seen"—and the digital aspect is almost beside the point. 11. Other dealers bear out Gering's assessment: you need an object—a tangible thing—to sell. Julia Friedman's recently opened Chicago gallery handles sculptural pieces with Web elements, like Eduardo Kac's "Genesis," a work that incorporates live, eerily beautiful Webcam images of mutating bacteria.12. But other sales models are emerging. Simon sells an unlimited edition of "Every Icon"—a work featured in last year's Whitney Biennial—on the Web for $20, in ado-it-yourself download. So far, he's moved about 90 of them, and sales have picked up since operations moved toan ZShop.13. Netomat, an online application offering an "alternative browsing experience," has been available for free downloadat since June 1999. So far there have been 750,000 downloads. Now its developer, Maciej Wisniewski, has quit his post as an XML developer at to convert his art project into an interactive e-mail client.14. Michele Thursz, director of New York's Moving Image Gallery, is working with artists to sell shares in limited-access collecting communities. The collectors will share in the ongoing creative work of artist-designed Web sites, and in the sale of any digital prints or other objects that result. Etoy, a Net art group represented by New York's Postmasters Gallery, has already issued 640,000 shares in its digital collective, 15% of which are owned by collectors. Buyers even get signed collectible stock certificates emblazoned with the artwork. Even if Etoy art never appreciates, the certificates on your living room wall may still brighten your day.15. Surprisingly, corporations and government agencies are buying into this untested art form. John Klima's Net-based work, "ecosystm," was commissioned by Zurich Capital Markets for the employees' lounge of its New York office. Converting individualworld currencies into competing flocks of birds, "ecosystm" tracks currency fluctuations—which directly affect thewell-being of each flock—and global weather, both in real time. Cost: $14,000 and counting. And that doesn't include the extra $14,000 that Zurich spent for a 50-inch gas-plasma monitor to display it all on.16. Another Klima work, "Earth," has been leased for $1,000 a year by the National Library of Medicine for its Bethesda, Md. building. "You license it like Windows 98," the artist notes. "At the end of 18 months, they'll still own the software, but there are no more updates or tech support."17. Artist Wattenberg is also looking to designcustom-interface art for corporate Web sites. "I can see a corporation commissioning me to design a beautiful front end," he says, "like the big, impressive sculpture in the front lobby." With as the producer, Wattenberg is currently developing an interface for NASA's art collection on the Web, expected to launch by early 2002.18. it’s not surprising that Web-based art dealers,like , are getting into this market. TheU.K.-based company, which began selling digital photographyonline in December 1999, now has a dozen digital art projects in the pipeline, half of which should launch this fall. Like other dealers, Eyestorm is looking at a wide range of sales strategies, from corporate commissions to limited-edition CD-ROMs and DVDs to micropayments on a pay-per-view basis.19. Lest you think the medium is pausing to catch its breath, rest assured—the envelope is still being pushed. Currently in the works: at least one show of art created for pagers, cell phones and PDAs. Which begs the question, how do you prevent illegal copying when art is being beamed from cell phone to cell phone?Is It Art Yet?

The candidate discusses two of the proposedfacilities (museums and parks), and chooses one of them (museums) to benefit from the extra funding. The candidatediscusses the reasons why each one should receive the money: science and history museums provide people very interestinginformations; in order to have well-informed teenagers, the local authorities should give money to museums; trees can absorbmany of the gases produced leading to a much healthier environment; running tracks for people who cannot afford to go to gym .The final decision is made in the final paragraph.Communicative Achievement 3The conventions of essay writing are used well. There is a clear opening paragraph and a strong conclusion which leavesno room for doubt as to where the money should go: … as far as I am concerned the most important facility that shouldreceive investment from local authority are the museums . The register is consistently formal and the essay has an objectivetone, giving opinions and providing supporting statements with evidence. The clear paragraphing helps to hold the targetreader’s attention and communicate both straightforward and more complex ideas in a logical manner.Organisation 3The text is well organised and coherent, and uses a variety of cohesive devices to generally good effect. The ideas areclearly introduced: nowadays; on the one hand; moreover; for example; therefore; on the other hand; furthermore; all in all . Thereis a mix of long and short sentences, and some of the shorter ones could benefit from being combined. Organisationalpatterns are evident in the choice of language. For example, in the first paragraph it is stated that many facilities could usemoney from local authorities . This then narrows to become cultural institutions should receive more money , and then the finalsentence uses substitution to set out the main idea: But which ones should receive more investment is open to debate .Language 2There is a range of relevant vocabulary, but this is not always used successfully to communicate full ideas. Take forexample In a world where true values are not respected as they should be, it is important to remember what really matters .Although this has an appropriate tone and is accurate, it has little relevance to the text as a whole and adds no extrainformation. A range of simple and some more complex grammatical structures is used with control. However, there area few word order and pronoun problems, such as it can be organised events; there can be built . There are also errors withplurals and articles, but these do not impede communication: the most important facility ... are the museums; afford to go togym; exercises in open air . Nowadays, many facilities could use money from local authorities. There are people who claim that cultural institutions should receive more money than other facilities. But which ones should receive more investment is open to debate.On the one hand, museums should be the institutions that need to receive a lot of money because people have lost the interest in visiting and promoting them. In a world where true values are not respected as they should be, it is important to remember what really matters. Moreover, the young men should be aware of the importance of knowing basic things in different domains. For example, science and history museums provide people very interesting informations. Therefore, in order to have well-informed teenagers, the local authorities should give money to museums. With that money, it can be organised events like the day of open museums.On the other hand, green spaces should also receive money from local authorities. Mainly because in big cities, where the air is very polluted trees can absorb many of the gases produced leading to a much healthier environment. Furthermore, there can be built spaces for kids to play and also running tracks for people who cannot afford to go to gym. It isimportant for people to keep doing exercises in open air and in my opinion, parks are the best place.All in all, as far as I am concerned the most important facility that should receive investment from local authority are the museums.Examiner commentsSubscale Mark CommentaryContent3All content is relevant to the task and the target reader is on the whole informed. The candidate has not made a final selection between the two facilities. However, he makes a relevant choice (namely, to fund both facilities), and justifiesthis decision with evidence throughout the essay: This is one of the many reasons that people avoid sport … Another reasonfor this is that people have nowhere …Communicative Achievement 4The conventions of essay writing are evident and the target reader’s attention is held throughout. The opening statement sets up the context of the essay, and the candidate chooses two of the facilities to discuss (parks and sports centres).The candidate links these two aspects throughout the essay, and this linking is effective in communicating more complex ideas which relate to both facilities. For example: sports centers and public gardens have been neglected over the years; people avoid sport ... another reason for this is that people have nowhere to go out for a walk. The arguments are backed up and supported with evidence either from personal experience or from the input text. A consistent register is used, and the overall tone is suitably persuasive and objective.Organisation4The text is well organised and coherent. Fairly subtle organisational patterns and cohesive devices are used, rather than overt linking words: for example, relative clauses/pronouns, substitution and ellipsis. For example: Having listened to (I)realised that; We see lot of kids nowadays suffering from obesity ... caused by; Another reason for this is; The ones that are.Somesentences are quite short and could have been connected to make the text more fluid at times: Public gardens, parks forexample are also lacking in numbers. The ones ..., but the overall effect is good.Language3There is a range of vocabulary and some less common lexis, which is collocated appropriately: neglected over the years;suffering from obesity; the simple fact that; lacking in numbers; follow a sports career; quality time. There is also a range ofsimple and more complex grammatical structures used with control. Although there is slight awkwardness in places anda few errors, these do not cause the reader difficulty: that meet the right characteristics that a good sports center must have.WRITING | SAMPLE SCRIPTS WITH EXAMINER COMMENTSQuestion 1: Candidate CWRITING | SAMPLE PAPER 1Examiner commentsSubscaleMark Commentary Content 5All content is relevant to the task and the target reader would be fully informed. The candidate discusses two of theoptions (sports centres and green spaces). Although the essay is slightly unbalanced, focusing mainly on sports centres,this is justified in the essay: Let me start with the sport centres as I think these are a bit more problematic . Likewise, the brieftreatment of parks is explained, and what follows is enough to inform the reader fully: Regarding of the green spaces, thesituation is much clearer .Communicative Achievement 4The conventions of the communicative task are used effectively, holding the target reader’s attention with ease. Theregister and tone are consistent and the language choices are sufficiently formal and appropriate throughout, particularlythe opening and closing paragraphs, The only question then is which one of these is more important, what are the pros andcons of each one?; These factors lead me to my conclusion . There is lots of personal opinion, rather than objective opinionbased on a generally assumed view: I would like to write a few of my personal thoughts; I think these are; The problem I see,but straightforward and more complex ideas are nevertheless communicated. A more objective approach would havebeen more suited to this essay task, which is to discuss the idea in general terms rather than in the candidate’s ownexperience.Organisation 4The essay is well organised and coherent, and the different ideas are clearly signposted throughout: Let me start with;Therefore; Another reason; Regarding . The target reader can easily follow the argument. The paragraphs are internally wellconstructed, and are linked together appropriately. In terms of organisational patterns, the overall effect is generallygood, rather than good throughout, due to the imbalance of length between the second and third paragraphs.Language 4A range of vocabulary, including less common lexis, is used effectively, although not always precisely: we have to balancethat shift in our lifestyles . A wide range of simple and complex grammatical forms is used with control and flexibility,particularly in terms of sentence construction: Obviously, in our times where lots of people spend days sitting in their officestaring at a computer, some sort of physical training is very important . Although there are occasional errors, these are oftenslips and do not impede communication: you can do at these days; there is almost countless list .In regard of a recent discussion about the facilities, which are financially supported by local authorities, I would like to write a few of my personal thoughts. Whether we are talking about sports centres or public gardens, there is no doubt that they are both a good thing to have in the city and should both be supported somehow. The only question then is which one of these is more important, what are the pros and cons of each one?Let me start with the sport centres as I think these are a bit more problematic. Obviously, in our times where lots ofpeople spend days sitting in their office staring at a computer, some sort of physical training is very important. We have to balance that shift in our lifestyles. The problem I see with supporting the sports centres is the number of activities that you can do at these days. There is almost countless list of either individual or team sports that we can think of,and each centre is usually designed for a specific type or at least a group of sports similar in its nature. Therefore I think that it is too difficult to support them equally and we can’t say which activity is better than the others either. Another reason for not financing sports as much as green parks is their commercial use. What I mean by that is that we usually pay for everything the centre offers us to do and therefore they are more able to last from their own money than gardens. Regarding of the green spaces, the situation is much clearer I think. Every city needs gardens where people can sit and relax, but nobody is going to pay a tax for just walking around.These factors lead me to my conclusion, that the public gardens are definitely a facility which should be financed from public money, whereas in the case of sports centres, the situation is questionable.Examiner commentsSubscale Mark CommentaryContent4There are some minor irrelevances, particularly at the beginning of the report about working conditions and what the building looks like but the target reader would be fully informed about how the candidate feels about this job.The candidate explains what they have achieved in their job (now I am allowed to work on bigger and more importantprojects).A problem is described, but it is not completely relevant to the actual job they are doing (it is really hard to getmy car parked)and is probably not an issue that their manager can resolve. Suggestions are made for further training (thecompany should continue offering these training so we can keep up to date).Communicative Achievement 2The layout of the report uses the conventions of the task effectively. There is a title, an introductory overview of the report, sub-headings and a conclusion. The register slips occasionally (I got very impressed; this still excites me; I am very happy with my job here) and the second point about car parking is not relevant in a progress report to a manager.The report is polite, generally formal, and it communicates straightforward ideas which hold the reader’s attention.Organisation2The text is well organised and coherent. The structure is clear and logical, dealing with each point individually and using a variety of cohesive devices and linking words.There are examples of both external and internal cohesion in the use of headings and referencing within paragraphs toreduce repetition (When I first came here…this still; I really like…not just because; my colleagues…we do; my task was…now Iam allowed).Language2There is a range of suitable everyday vocabulary used appropriately (working atmosphere; colleagues; projects; task;motivates).There is a range of simple and some more complex grammatical forms (where I have been working) used with control.There are some errors (a training; these training)but these do not impede communication.WRITING | SAMPLE SCRIPTS WITH EXAMINER COMMENTSQuestion 3: Candidate EWRITING | SAMPLE PAPER 1Examiner commentsSubscaleMark Commentary Content 5All content is relevant and the target reader is fully informed.This review is based on a biography of Audrey Hepburn and describes her work in Africa, helping people in need. This isan appropriate choice because the subject of the book has made a contribution to society.The first point (Did you learn anything new?), is addressed by the candidate when they describe what they found‘surprising’ (she honestly did not do it to have better public opinion ). The second point is more implicit in the text becausewe are told that ‘[she] always wanted to help’ which implies why she made this important contribution.Communicative Achievement 3The conventions of the task are used effectively to hold the target reader’s attention and there are examples ofdescriptive language, language of explanation and a recommendation at the end. The register is neutral, and the tone isengaging (who doesn’t like to watch; The book tells us the story of; Douzens of photograph; the result was magnificent; I promiseyou won’t regret it!) which has a positive effect.Both straightforward and some more complex ideas are communicated clearly (Although the last one might be known aswell as for not only being an actress, but also a voulenteer helping to fight hunger in Africa; but thanks to her fame, more andmore people started to get interested in ).Organisation 3The text is well organised and coherent. Despite only having one paragraph, there are breaks in the text and a variety ofcohesive devices are used to signal connections and changes in topic (Although; but also; Her latest; Nevertheless; This iswhy; But thanks to; The result was; I recommend ).Organisational patterns are evident in the construction of some of the longer sentences where information is contrastedor developed (Her latest biography – Audrey’s Hepburn life tells us the story of a girl, who has made an amazing career, becamebeloved by millions, won several Oscar awards and was concidered to be a fashion icon ).Language 3There is a range of vocabulary, including some less common lexis used appropriately (iconic actors; beloved by millions;years of exhausting work; Douzens of; boasting abut it; poor districts; hard work pays off ).There is a range of simple and more complex grammatical forms used with control and flexibility, particularly in theconstruction of extended sentences which communicate the more complex ideas.There are some errors, mainly spelling, but these do not impede communication.Who doesn’t like to watch, even from time to time, an old movie starring an iconic actors and actresses known all over the world? Marylin Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn – we know them all. Although the last one might be known as well as for not only being an actress, but also a voulanteer helping to fight hunger in Africa. Her latest biography – ,,Audrey’s Hepburn life” tells us the story of a girl, who has made an amazing career, became beloved by millions, won several Oscar awards and was concidered to be a fashion icon. Nevertheless this is not everything that she achived. Audrey always wanted to help other people. This is why after ending her career she decided to help people, who needed this help more than anyone else. The book tells us the story of years of exhausting work in Somalia – for people who needed her help the most. Douzens of photograph present how much she cared about them. The most surprising for me, was the fact thatshe honestly did not do it to have better public opinion, she was never boasting abot it. But thanks to her fame, more and more people started to get interested in poor districts of Africa. The result was magnificent. Her whole life is an amazing example of how hard work pays off. Propably this is why the book turned out to be such a success. I recommend it to anyone interested in her career and life, I promise you won’t regret it!WRITING | SAMPLE SCRIPTS WITH EXAMINER COMMENTSQuestion 4: Candidate FWRITING | SAMPLE PAPER 1Examiner commentsSubscaleMark Commentary Content 5All content is relevant and the target reader is fully informed.The candidate responds to Chris’s letter and explains where he should go and why: the water park to relax; the cinemabecause it’s a new experience; a club because it’s great.The ‘what to do’ aspect is mostly implicit in the description of these places (different kinds of saunas; you are a big fan ofhorror movies; hang out at and to dance; stop by my house ). Chris would have a list of suggestions and be able to make aninformed decision about what to do.Communicative Achievement 4The conventions of an informal letter are used to communicate in an effective way (Congratulations on getting a new job!;you absolutely need to; if you fancy; I swear ). The tone of the letter is friendly, informal and informative and is consistentlyappropriate throughout. There are not many complex ideas expressed, which does not allow enough flexibility to bedemonstrated.There is language of advice, persuasion and description which holds the target reader’s attention with ease.Organisation 4The letter is a well-organised and coherent whole. The text suggests three activities and deals with each one separately,explaining what the activity is, what is special about it and why Chris would enjoy it on this trip.There is a variety of cohesive devices used and organisational patterns are used to generally good effect. The threeparagraphs are developed in a similar way, making the text flow and showing good internal cohesion with the use ofreferencing and substitution (I would advise you to visit our new 5D cinema…you’d really love to visit one of those…It is anexciting and unforgettable experience ).Language 4There is a range of vocabulary which is suitable for the task and which is used to good effect (awesome waterslides; if youfancy; warm your bones; water dripping down; superb place; the most delicious cocktails ).There is a range of simple and complex grammatical forms used appropriately with control and flexibility.There are a some errors, but these are mainly related to the candidate attempting less common words or structures(there will be performing; proof useful to you ) but these do not impede communication.Hi, Chris!Congratulations on getting a new job! And it is great you are finally getting a chance to visit our town.First of all, you absolutely need to visit our new waterpark ,,Aqua 3000”, it’s got all the awesome waterslides, the most amazing shapes and heights. We have different kinds of saunas there as well, if you fancy. As it is winter already, visiting the waterpark can be a nice opportunity to relax and warm your bones a little.Secondly, I would advise you to visit our new 5D cinema. I remember, you have told me once you’d really love to visit one of those, well, here is your chance! It is an exciting and unforgettable experience, you’ll be sitting in a moving chair, feel the wind or even water dripping down on your head. I know you are a big fan of horror movies, and our cinema has a large choice of them.On your free weekend you should visit our famous club ,,31/11”. At the time of your visit there will be performing anawesome DJ Skream, you have probably heard of him. The club itself is a superb place to hang out at and to dance.

The Unit 1 exemplar materials will enable teachers to guide their students in the application of knowledge and skills required to successfully complete this course. The booklet looks at questions 1(b)(i), 4(a)(i), 5(b)(ii), 6(a),6(b)(iii) and 7(c)(i) from the June 2019 examination series, showing real candidate responses to questions and how examiners have applied the mark schemes to demonstrate how student responses should be marked.1.2How to use this bookletEach example covered in this booklet contains:•Question•Mark scheme•Example responses for the selected question•Example of the marker grading decision based on the mark scheme, accompanied by examiner commentary including the explanation for the decision and guidance on how the answer can be improved to earn more marks.The examples highlight the achievement of the assessment objectives at lower to higher levels of candidate responses.Centres should use this content to support their internal assessment of students and incorporate examination skills into the delivery of the specification.1.3Further supportA range of materials are available from the Pearson qualifications website to support you in planning and delivering this specification.Centres may find it beneficial to review this document in conjunction with the Examiner’s Report and other assessment and support materials available on the Pearson Qualifications website.1.4Assessment objectivesThis document references the assessment objectives, which are as follows:AO1Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scienceAO2(a)Application of knowledge and understanding of science infamiliar and unfamiliar contexts.(b)Analysis and evaluation of scientific information to makejudgments and reach conclusions.AO3Experimental skills in science, including analysis and evaluation ofdata and methodsPearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materialsIssue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 20192Question 1(b)(i)Mark schemeQuestionnumberAnswer Additional guidance Mark 1(b)(i)A description that includes the following points:• for F increase in temperatureincreases solubility (1)• for G increase in temperatureincreases up to 30°C and then decreases the solubility (1)• for H temperature has no effect(on solubility) (1)ACCEPT ‘It’ for solubility throughoutACCEPT positive correlationDo not piece togetherACCEPT solubility {remains constant / does not change} with an increase in temperature(3)Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materials Issue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 2019 3Examiner’s comments:This response was given 2 marks.When a question carries three marks and there are three lines on a graph to describe, a candidate should structure their answer by writing what each line on the graph shows separately.On the first three lines, this response was awarded marking point 3 (see additional guidance) and marking point 1. Marking point 2 would have been awarded if the candidate had stated what the relationship is between the increase in temperature up to 30°C and the solubility. The candidate He only stated what the relationship is above 30°C. If the candidate had written 'For salt G the solubility increases as the temperature increases up to a maximum of 30°C and then decreases above 30°C', all marks could have been awarded.Exemplar response APearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materialsIssue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 20194Examiner’s comments:This response was given 1 mark.This candidate approached the answer by dealing with each salt separately but did not specify the relationship between the temperature and the solubility.In the first sentence for salt F, the candidate stated that there is a linear relationship which is true but have not said whether this relationship is a positive one or a negative one therefore the mark was not awarded.In the description for salt G, this candidate made a similar mistake by stating that 30°C is the optimum temperature and that solubility decrease above this temperature but did not state that up to the optimum temperature the solubility increases with increase in temperature. Examiners can only mark on what has been written down by thecandidates and cannot make assumptions.; It is possible that the solubility fluctuated as the temperature increased up to 30°C.Finally, marking point 3 was awarded as the answer matched what is written in the additional guidance.Exemplar response BPearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materials Issue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 20195Question 4(a)(i)Mark schemeExaminer’s comments:This response was given 2 marks.The term 'semi-conservative replication' has two components, semi-conservative andreplication, and the question is allocated 2 marks. Therefore, for a question like this there will be a mark for each component.This response has been awarded marking point 1 on the first line for stating that two new molecules will be formed - see the additional guidance. Then made it clear that there is one new and one original strand so the second marking point was awarded.Question number Answer Additional guidanceMark 4(a)(i)An answer that includes the following points:• an increase in the number of(DNA) {molecules / double helices} (1)• each (new molecule) consists ofone {parent / original / old} strand and one new strand (1)ACCEPT {two / new}molecules are made (from one molecule)(2)Exemplar response APearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materialsIssue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 20196Examiner’s comments:This response was given 1 mark.This response was awarded marking point 2 for their second sentence.If, in the first sentence, a different term other than 'replicate' was used, mark point one could have been awarded. Candidates should always avoid using a term in their answer that is used in the question, especially if they are supposed to explain the meaning of the term.Although not applicable here, it is worth stressing to candidates that a DNA molecule is double-stranded. They need to make it very clear if they are writing about a singlepolynucleotide (a strand) or the whole DNA molecule (two polynucleotides joined together by hydrogen bonds between the complementary base pairs).Exemplar response BPearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materials Issue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 20197Question 5(b)(ii)Mark schemeQuestion number Answer*5(b) (ii)Indicative content:• sugar solution with a lower water potential than the cytoplasm of the cell(D)• sugar solution should be hypertonic (D)• so that water will pass out of the cytoplasm by osmosis (E)• concentration of sugar solution should be the same as the cytoplasm (D) • so that sugars will not diffuse out (E)• each individual sugar concentration should be the same as the cytoplasm(D)• mean concentration of sugars stated (fructose = 1.52, glucose = 1.08,sucrose = 8.55) (D)• range of sugar concentrations stated (from table) (D)• so that concentration of each sugar remains the same (E) • another solute needs to be used (D)• so that the sugar concentration remains the same but the water passesout (E)Level 1 : description of conditions needed for osmosis and maintaining sugar concentration1 mark = a description of one conditionPearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materialsIssue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 201982 marks = a description of each condition or an explanation of one conditionLevel 2 : explanation of conditions needed for both osmosis and maintaining sugar concentration3 marks = a description of one condition and an explanation of the other condition4 marks = an explanation of each conditionLevel 3 : indicates that concentration of each sugar needs to be the same as in the pineapple and another solute needs to be included.5 marks = and includes one of the above6 marks = and includes both of the aboveExemplar response APearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materials Issue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 20199In this response, the candidate worked logically through the conditions necessary forpineapple preservation. In the first seven lines the candidate described what needed to be done to dehydrate the pineapple and then explained why it would work - this gives theThis is the command wordand tells the candidate thatthey must use some A level knowledge to say why eachstep is needed.Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materialsIssue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 201910Examiner’s comments:This response was given 2 marks.This response only partially answers the question, using correct AS level knowledge and terminology.In the first six lines, this candidate explains how the sweetness of the pineapple can be maintained giving them a level 1, 2 marks.Reference to 'water concentration' is an inappropriate terminology at this level – reference should have been to water potential, solute potential or osmotic potential. Reference to hypertonic / hypotonic / isotonic and solute concentration was also acceptable. Theresponse was unclear in which direction the water was going. Also, at this level, the term 'osmosis' was expected to be used.Exemplar response BPearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materials Issue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 201911Question 6(a)Mark schemeQuestion number Answer Additional guidanceMark 6(a) An explanation that includes the following points:• because antioxidants reducefree radicals (1)• free radicals cause {celldamage / oxidative stress} (1)• (antioxidants) reduce {plaque /atheroma} formation (1)ACCEPT neutralise / stabilise / donate electronsACCEPT antioxidants {prevent cell damage / reduce oxidative stress}ACCEPT reduces cholesterol build up(3)Exemplar response APearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materialsIssue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 201912Examiner’s comments:This response was given 2 marks.This candidate achieved marking point 1 in the first three lines; the wording was not that accurate but it was felt that this candidate clearly knew that the free radicals were removed.Marking point 2 was then awarded for the damage that the free radicals cause to cells, and they named the appropriate cell type to answer the question. The candidate clearly linked the cell damage to plaque formation.Examiner’s comments:This response was given 1 mark.The wording in this response was vague but the candidate knew that antioxidants were linked to free radicals which were linked to cell damage.Exemplar response BPearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materials Issue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 201913Question 6(b)(iii)Mark schemeQuestionnumberAnswer Additional guidanceMark6(b)(iii) An answer that includes three of the following points:• two groups of people one eatingchocolate and one {control / not eating chocolate} (1)• who {have no (known) risk of / donot have} CVD (1)• credit description of control variable(1)• incidence of heart disease recorded(over a period of time, at least a year) (1)ACCEPT 3 groups if one has no chocolate, one has milk chocolate and one has dark chocolateACCEPT healthye.g. same sex, similar {size / age / lifestyle}ACCEPT same mass ofchocolate if comparing dark with milk chocolate IGNORE amountACCEPT monitor risk factors / examples e.g. blood pressure, cholesterol levels, BMI(3)Exemplar response APearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materialsIssue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 201914Examiner’s comments:This response was given 2 marks.On this question, candidates were expected to think about the design of a specific study and therefore required them to read the question carefully first. This candidate assumed that the question wanted a study to compare the two types of chocolate, therefore could not be awarded all the marks.On the very first line, the candidate indicated that the participants must not have CVD which is our second marking point. On the same line they have listed two factors that have to be controlled. Finally, the candidate stated what should be looked for.Examiner’s comments:This response was given 1 mark.This candidate had read the question carefully and was awarded mark point 1 as they stated that one group would have chocolate and the other one would not.If we ask for 'valid' data, then we need an indication of the variables that would be keptconstant. Even if this candidate had listed at least one variable that needed controlling, they went wrong by stating that the people would consume different amounts of chocolate (NB 'amount' is a word that is not specific enough in candidate responses).At the end of the response the candidate has tried to say what would be looked for in the study but they have effectively repeated what was in the stem of the question, 'risk of CVD' so could not be awarded the fourth marking point.Exemplar response BPearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materials Issue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 2019 15Question 7(c)(i) Mark schemePearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materialsIssue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 201916Examiner’s comments:This response was given 3 marks.The mark scheme for this question shows that although knowing the names of each layer of the artery is preferable, a description of what is found in the layer is acceptable at this level. In this response, the candidate has covered all grounds, and both named and described the structure of each layer.The diagram clearly shows three layers which is marking point 1. As there are three marks allocated for this diagram, we only expect two structures to be labeled. As there are no mistakes in the labeling, both label marks can be awarded.Exemplar response APearson Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary/Advanced Level in Biology Unit 1 - Exemplar materials Issue 1 – September 2019 © Pearson Education Limited 2019 17Examiner’s comments:This response was given 0 marks.This diagram does not meet requirements for this level. However, it could have been awarded one label mark for the lumen had the end of the line been in the lumen and not touching the inside edge.

我想看初二英语作文书籍
我想看初二英语作文书籍As an English teacher, I understand the importance ofproviding students with the right resources to improve their writing skills. For students in the second year of middle school, or "eighth-graders," finding the right English composition book can be a pivotal step in enhancing their language proficiency. Here's a guide to help you choose the best composition books for this age group:1. Age-Appropriate Content: The book should contain topicsthat are relevant and interesting to the students. It should also be age-appropriate, avoiding complex themes that mightbe too challenging or unengaging.2. Vocabulary Building: A good composition book for eighth-graders will include a variety of vocabulary exercises. These exercises should help students expand their word bank andlearn how to use new words in context.3. Grammar Focus: Since grammar is a critical part of writing, the book should provide clear explanations and examples of grammatical structures commonly used in English composition.4. Writing Prompts: The book should offer a variety ofwriting prompts to stimulate creativity and encouragestudents to practice different types of writing, such as narratives, persuasive essays, and descriptive paragraphs.5. Guided Practice: Look for a book that includes guided practice sections where students can apply what they'velearned in a structured format.6. Model Essays: Including model essays can help students understand the structure and flow of a well-written composition. These models should be accompanied byannotations or explanations to highlight good writing practices.7. Interactive Elements: Interactive elements such as quizzes, games, and activities can make the learning process more engaging and fun.8. Cultural Insights: Books that provide cultural insights along with language learning can help students understand the context in which English is used around the world.9. Review and Assessment: The book should have reviewsections and assessments to help students gauge theirprogress and identify areas where they need to improve.10. Teacher's Guide: If you're a parent or a teacher looking for a book to support classroom instruction, a teacher'sguide with additional activities and answer keys can be very helpful.When selecting an English composition book for eighth-graders, consider the students' current skill level and their learning objectives.

Lead-in Background Information
Today, many institutions and functions are being shifted to virtual space, and the field of art is no exception. Computer art enables individuals to express themselves without censorship and to circumvent the traditional art establishment that until now has dominated the field. The art world is on the verge of a revolution that will completely overturn artistic conventions and, in fact, our entire perception of art. Computer art is accessible, multisensual, and interactive; it varies over time and is conscious of the art consumer. These salient features of computer art call for a reassessment of our entire conception of art.

Art using computers and the Internet is a natural evolution of traditional art forms. Moreover, these new computer art forms reflect recent trends and are an integral part of modern society, technology and culture. Technological innovation enables artists to enjoy the benefits of interactivity, multimedia, widespread distribution, low cost, equal creative opportunity, accessibility and simplicity. Thus, computer art helps overcome technical, financial, political and environmental issues that have traditionally limited artistic creation.
