One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist. In
effect, a market must be created for an artist to become successful. The practice of signing and
numbering individual prints was introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth-
century artist best known for the painting of his mother, called “Arrangement in Grey and
Black,” but known to most of us as “Whistler’s Mother.” Whistler’s brother-in-law, Sir Francis
Seymour Haden, a less well-known artist, had speculated that collectors might find prints more
attractive if they knew that there were only a limited number of copies produced. By signing the
work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print.
As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their
prints, their work began to increase in value. When other artists noticed that the
signed prints commanded higher prices, they began copying the procedure.
Although most prints are signed on the right-hand side in the margin below the image, the
placement of the signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within
the image, in any of the margins, or even on the reverse side of the print. Whenever the artist elects
to sign it, a signed print is still valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition.

A. denied B. guessed C. noticed D. announced

A. making improvement B. accept changes
C. recognize differences D. allow exceptions
105.The word “it” refers to______.
A. the image B. the reverse side C. the same edition D. a print
106.Where in the passage does the author indicate where an artist’s signature might
be found on a work?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. all paragraphs

Part 3: Questions 106 – 115. (2.0 points- 0.2/ each)
Look at the statements below aboutholidays in and around the city of Norwich in England.
Read the text below to decide if each statement is TRUE or FALSE.
The Orchid Mantis
The Orchid Mantis is beautiful, but it isn't vain - this type of praying mantis
uses its shape and bright, flowery colors to attract food and fool potential predators.
While it doesn't actually live on orchids, the orchid mantis looks remarkably
like a flower, with body parts that resemble petals. It lives in bushes and small trees
that grow white and pink flowers.
Though generally white, the insect can turn itself shades of pink and purple within a few
days to resemble the orchids found in its humid habitat in Malaysia. It adapts to different
conditions by detecting humidity and light and then changing colors to blend in.
Unsuspecting insects that mistake the mantis for a flower may land nearby or
even on top of it, allowing the pretty predator to snatch them up for a quick meal.
Flying insects such as butterflies and moths are the mantis' main source of food, but
it will also eat jungle fruits. The orchid mantis can also fly.
A female orchid mantis may grow up to about two and a half inches long, but the male
grows only to about an inch. Because he's smaller, he matures much more quickly than the
female, and while she lives to about eight months, he lives for just five or six months.
The male is also more jittery than the female, who needs to remain very still to attract her
prey. One reason he might be nervous is that when it's time to mate, a hungry female may eat him!
Because of this, his best bet is to approach her when she's already busy eating something else.
After mating, the female lays a cluster of eggs in a protein-rich foamy pouch
called an ootheca. In about six weeks, up to 100 baby mantises - called nymphs - will
hatch, ready to become beautiful imitation flowers.
