Kunci Jawaban: D

Exquisite patterns and surface ornamentation were an integral part of the aesthetics of the late
Victorian era. In America, these developments were incorporated into the themes of national
expositions and artistic movements, as cottage industries grew and productivity in the decorative
arts flourished. The last three decades of the 19th century saw a change in sensibility that resulted
in new stylistic approaches in American decorative arts, a departure from the previous era of
Rococo and Renaissance Revival excess. Shapes became more angular, smoother and less
flamboyant. The popular carvings and deep modeling of earlier years disappeared as
ornamentation became more linear and lighter in appearance. Decoration focused on the surface
with rich and elegant patterns adorning furniture, objects of every sort, and architectural and
interior decorations. This artistic reawakening was prompted by the effects of the Industrial
Revolution on contemporary design.

This new attitude, with its focus on ornament and the decorative, was later referred to as the
Aesthetic Movement, but it also encompassed the early Arts and Crafts Movement as well. The
purpose was to bring a refined sensibility and components of “good taste” to the domestic interior.
Art and good taste not only denoted good character, but also could be used to induce proper moral
conduct and actions, thereby contributing to the betterment of society. This placed a heavy burden
on designers/decorators as well as on women as keepers of the home. Americans drew inspiration
from the writing and work of English artists. This was a period of great eclecticism. Tastes ranged
from the Modern Gothic through the Persian, Greek and Islamic, to the Japanese, and with more
than a nod to Mother Nature. Yet, regardless of the influence, surface pattern reigned supreme.
English reformers dictated that ornament should be derived from nature, and pattern should be flat
and stylized. Forms were accent ated by colored outlines, or often with touches of gold. The
emphasis was on art and on development of a refined sensibility. It was all a matter of taste.

41. What is the main topic

of the passage?

A. defining the “Aesthetic Movement”

B. decorative arts in late 19th century America

arts flourished. The last three decades of the 19th century saw a change in sensibility that resulted
in new stylistic approaches in American decorative arts, a departure from the previous era of
Rococo and Renaissance Revival excess. Shapes became more angular, smoother and less
flamboyant. The popular carvings and deep modeling of earlier years disappeared as
ornamentation became more linear and lighter in appearance. Decoration focused on the surface
with rich and elegant patterns adorning furniture, objects of every sort, and architectural and
interior decorations. This artistic reawakening was prompted by the effects of the Industrial
Revolution on contemporary design.

This new attitude, with its focus on ornament and the decorative, was later referred to as the
Aesthetic Movement, but it also encompassed the early Arts and Crafts Movement as well. The
purpose was to bring a refined sensibility and components of “good taste” to the domestic interior.
Art and good taste not only denoted good character, but also could be used to induce proper moral
conduct and actions, thereby contributing to the betterment of society. This placed a heavy burden
on designers/decorators as well as on women as keepers of the home. Americans drew inspiration
from the writing and work of English artists. This was a period of great eclecticism. Tastes ranged
from the Modern Gothic through the Persian, Greek and Islamic, to the Japanese, and with more
than a nod to Mother Nature. Yet, regardless of the influence, surface pattern reigned supreme.
English reformers dictated that ornament should be derived from nature, and pattern should be flat
and stylized. Forms were accent ated by colored outlines, or often with touches of gold. The
emphasis was on art and on development of a refined sensibility. It was all a matter of taste.

is NOT mentioned as a feature of the Aesthetic

The human criterion for perfect vision is 20/20 for reading the standard lines on a Snellen eye

visually handicapped. The hawk, for instance, has such sharp eyes that it can spot a dime on the
sidewalk while perched on top of the Empire State Building. It can make fine visual distinctions
because it is blessed with one million cones per square millimeter in its retina. And in water,
humans are farsighted, while the kingfisher, swooping down to spear fish, can see well in both the
air and water because it is endowed with two foveae – areas of the eye, consisting mostly of
cones, that provide visual distinctions. One foveae permits the bird, while in the air, to scan the
water below with one eye at a time. This is called monocular vision. Once it hits the water, the
other fovea joins in, allowing the kingfisher to focus both eyes, like binoculars, on its prey at the
same time. A frog’s vision is distinguished by its ability to perceive things as a constant motion
picture. Known as “bug detectors”, a highly developed set of cells in a frog’s eyes responds mainly
to moving objects. So, it is said that a frog sitting in a field of dead bugs wouldn’t see them as food
and would starve.

The bee has a “compound” eye, which is used for navigation. It has 15,000 facets that divide what
it sees into a pattern of dots, or mosaic. With this kind of vision, the bee sees the sun only as a
single dot, a constant point of reference. Thus, the eye is a superb navigational instrument that
constantly measures the angle of its line of flight in relation to the sun. A bee’s eye also gauges
flight speed. And if that is not enough to leave our 20/20 “perfect vision” paling into
insignificance, the bee is capable of seeing something we can’t – ultraviolet light. Thus, what
humans consider to be “perfect vision” is in fact rather limited when we look at other species.
However, there is still much to be said for the human eye. Of all the mammals, only humans and
some primates can enjoy the pleasures of color vision.

Philosophy in the second half of the 19th century was based more on biology and history than on
mathematics and physics. Revolutionary thought drifted away from metaphysics and epistemology
and shifted more towards ideologies in science, politics, and sociology. Pragmatism became the
most vigorous school of thought in American philosophy during this time, and it continued the
empiricist tradition of grounding knowledge on experience and stressing the inductive procedures
of experimental science. The three most important pragmatists of this period were the American
philosophers Charles Peirce (1839-1914), considered to be the first of the American pragmatists,
William James (1842-1910), the first great American psychologist, and John Dewey (1859-1952),
who further developed the pragmatic principles of Peirce and James into a comprehensive system
of thought that he called “experimental naturalism”, or “instrumentalism”.

Pragmatism was generally critical of traditional western philosophy, especially the notion that there
are absolute truths and absolute values. In contrast, Josiah Royce (1855-1916), was a leading
American exponent of idealism at this time, who believed in an absolute truth and held that human
thought and the external world were unified. Pragmatism called for ideas and theories to be tested
in practice, assessing whether they produced desirable or undesirable results. Although
pragmatism was popular for a time in Europe, most agree that it epitomized the American faith in
know-how and practicality, and the equally American distrust of abstract theories and ideologies.
Pragmatism is best understood in its historical and cultural context. It arose during a period of rapid
scientific advancement, industrialization, and material progress; a time when the theory of
evolution suggested to many thinkers that humanity and society are in a perpetual state of
progress. This period also saw a decline in traditional religious beliefs and values. As a result, it
became necessary to rethink fundamental ideas about values, religion, science, community, and
individuality. Pragmatists regarded all theories and institutions as tentative hypotheses and
solutions. According to their critics, the pragmatist’s refusal to affirm any absolutes carried negative
implications for society, challenging the foundations of society’s institutions.

is true

A. idealism was an important part of the pragmatic approach

B. “pragmatism” was also known as “traditional western philosophy”
C. pragmatism continued the empiricist tradition
D. pragmatism is best understood independently of its historical and

Kunci Jawaban: C

Philosophy in the second half of the 19th century was based more on biology and history than on
mathematics and physics. Revolutionary thought drifted away from metaphysics and epistemology
and shifted more towards ideologies in science, politics, and sociology. Pragmatism became the
most vigorous school of thought in American philosophy during this time, and it continued the
empiricist tradition of grounding knowledge on experience and stressing the inductive procedures
of experimental science. The three most important pragmatists of this period were the American

who further developed the pragmatic principles of Peirce and James into a comprehensive system
of thought that he called “experimental naturalism”, or “instrumentalism”.

Pragmatism was generally critical of traditional western philosophy, especially the notion that there
are absolute truths and absolute values. In contrast, Josiah Royce (1855-1916), was a leading
American exponent of idealism at this time, who believed in an absolute truth and held that human
thought and the external world were unified. Pragmatism called for ideas and theories to be tested
in practice, assessing whether they produced desirable or undesirable results. Although
pragmatism was popular for a time in Europe, most agree that it epitomized the American faith in
know-how and practicality, and the equally American distrust of abstract theories and ideologies.

Another early Native American tribe in what is now the southwestern part of the United States was
the Anasazi. By A. D. 800 the Anasazi Indians were constructing multistory pueblos-massive,
stone apartment compounds. Each one was virtually a stone town, which is why the Spanish would
later call them pueblos, the Spanish word for towns. These pueblos represent one of the Anasazis'
supreme achievements. At least a dozen large stone houses took shape below the bluffs of

Chiaco Canyon in northwest New Mexico. They were built with masonry walls more than a meter
thick and adjoining apartments to accommodate dozens, even hundreds, of families. The largest,
later named Pueblo Bonito (Pretty Town) by the Spanish, rose in five terraced stories, contained
more than 800 rooms, and could have housed a population of 1,000 or more.

Besides living quarters, each pueblo included one or more kivas-circular underground chambers
faced with stone. They functioned as sanctuaries where the elders met to plan festivals, perform
ritual dances, settle pueblo affairs, and impart tribal lore to the younger generation. Some kivas
were enormous. Of the 30 or so at pueblo Bonito, two measured 20 meters across. They contained
niches for ceremonial objects, a central fire pit, and holes in the floor for communicating with the
spirits of tribal ancestors.

Each pueblo represented an astonishing amount of well-organized labor. Using only stone and
wood tools, and without benefit of wheels or draft animals, the builders quarried ton upon ton of
sandstone from the canyon walls, cut it into small blocks, hauled the blocks to the construction site,
and fitted them together with mud mortar. Roof beams of pine or fir had to be carried from logging
areas in the mountain forests many kilometers away. Then, to connect the pueblos and to give
access to the surrounding tableland, the architects laid out a system of public roads with stone
staircases for ascending cliff faces. In time, the roads reached out to more than 80 satellite

thick and adjoining apartments to accommodate dozens, even hundreds, of families. The largest,
later named Pueblo Bonito (Pretty Town) by the Spanish, rose in five terraced stories, contained
more than 800 rooms, and could have housed a population of 1,000 or more.

Besides living quarters, each pueblo included one or more kivas-circular underground chambers
faced with stone. They functioned as sanctuaries where the elders met to plan festivals, perform
ritual dances, settle pueblo affairs, and impart tribal lore to the younger generation. Some kivas
were enormous. Of the 30 or so at pueblo Bonito, two measured 20 meters across. They contained
niches for ceremonial objects, a central fire pit, and holes in the floor for communicating with the
spirits of tribal ancestors.

Each pueblo represented an astonishing amount of well-organized labor. Using only stone and
wood tools, and without benefit of wheels or draft animals, the builders quarried ton upon ton of
sandstone from the canyon walls, cut it into small blocks, hauled the blocks to the construction site,
and fitted them together with mud mortar. Roof beams of pine or fir had to be carried from logging
areas in the mountain forests many kilometers away. Then, to connect the pueblos and to give
access to the surrounding tableland, the architects laid out a system of public roads with stone
staircases for ascending cliff faces. In time, the roads reached out to more than 80 satellite
villages within a 60-kilometer radius.

Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as "silent", the film has
never been, in the full sense of the word, silent. From the very beginning, music was regarded as
an indispensable accompaniment; when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film
exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations
on popular tunes. At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the films; an
accompaniment of any kind was sufficient. Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of
playing lively music to a solemn film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care
in matching their pieces to the mood of the film.

As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would be
added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were
formed. For a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the
hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal qualification for
holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library
of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be
shown (if, indeed, the conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the musical arrangement
was normally improvised in the greatest hurry.

To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing
suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began
issuing with their films such indications of mood as "pleasant', "sad", "lively". The suggestions
became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the
titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next.

Certain films had music especially composed for them. The most famous of these early special
scores was that composed and arranged for D. W. Griffith's film Birth of a Nation, which was
released in 1915.

As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would be
added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were
formed. For a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the
hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal qualification for
holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library
of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be
shown (if, indeed, the conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the musical arrangement
was normally improvised in the greatest hurry.

To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing
suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began
issuing with their films such indications of mood as "pleasant', "sad", "lively". The suggestions
became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the
titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next.

Certain films had music especially composed for them. The most famous of these early special
scores was that composed and arranged for D. W. Griffith's film Birth of a Nation, which was
released in 1915.
