6. The medieval artists didn’t know about perspective; they didn’t want to make their people look like real, individual people in a real, individual scene. They wanted to show the truth, the eternal quality of their religious stories. So these artists didn’t need to know about perspective. (5) In the European Renaissance period, artists wanted to show the importance of the individual person and his or her possessions and surroundings. A flat medieval style couldn’t show this level of reality and the artists needed a new technique. It was the Italian artist Brunelleschi who discovered the technique of perspective drawing. At first the artists of the Renaissance only had single-point perspective. Later they realized that they could (10) have two-pointed perspective and still later multi-point perspective. With two-point perspective they could turn an object (like a building) at an angle to the picture and draw two sides of it. The technique of perspective which seems so natural to us now is an invented technique, a part of the “grammar of painting”. Like all bits of grammar there are exceptions about perspective. For example, only vertical and horizontal (15) surfaces seem to meet on eye level. Sloping roof tops don’t meet on eye level. For 500 years, artists in Europe made use of perspective drawing in their pictures. Nevertheless, there are a range of priorities that artists in displaying individual styles. Crivelli wanted to show depth in his picture and he used a simple single-point perspective. Cezanne always talked about space and volume. Van Gogh, like some of the other (20) painters of the Impressionist period, was interested in Japanese prints. And Japanese artists until this century were always very strong designers of “flat” pictures. Picasso certainly made pictures which have volume and depth. However, he wanted to keep our eyes on the surface and to remind us that his paintings are paintings and not illusions. It is technically easy to give an illusion of depth. However, a strong two dimensional (25) design is just as important as a feeling of depth, and perhaps more important. 96. The passage mainly discusses ________. A. the difference between medieval and Renaissance art B. how the technique of perspective influenced the modern art C. the discovery of the technique of perspective D. the contribution of Renaissance artists 97. The word “eternal” in line 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A. timelessB. infiniteC. frequentD. constant 98. According to the passage, which is the main concern for medieval artists? A. the individual person and his/her possessions and surroundings B. real people, real scenes C. eternal timeless truth of the earth D. themes of religious stories 99. The discovery of perspective was the result of ________. A. Renaissance artists’ to prove that the medieval artists could show level of reality B. the need to turn an object at an angle and draw more than one side of it C. the subject being shifted from religious stories to individual person and surroundings. D. natural evolution of human senses 100. The word “it” in line 12 refers to________. A. the pictureB. perspectiveC. angleD. the object 101. The word “Grammar” in line 13 is closest in meaning to ________. A. constructionB. grammatical rules 6 | Page Nguyễn Đình Luyện GV trường THCS Bù Nho – Phú Riềng – Bình Phước
7. C. rules and regulationsD. tones and volume 102. The author’s purpose to give the example in line14-15 is to ________.

The following artists’ priorities in style shift away from perspective EXCEPT ________. A. CrivelliB. CezanneC. Japanese artistsD. Brunelleschi 104. The word “Illusion” in line 24 is closest in meaning to ________. A. deceptionB. photographC. decorationD. illustration 105. It can be inferred from the passage that Renaissance artists ________. A. embraced the medieval style of eternal truth B. needed to develop a new approach towards painting to show a new level of reality C. were inspired by vertical and horizontal surfaces in inventing the technique of perspective D. saw two dimensional designs more important than a feeling of depth Part 3. Questions 106 – 115 Read the text below to decide if each statement is TRUE (T) or FALSE (F). Sally Keeping wasn’t the first person in her family to sail around Britain on her own but, for a while, she was the youngest. Last March, 17-year-old Sally, who lives in Penzance in the south of England, set off in her 10-metre sailing boat, and arrived home again three months later.One year after that, her 15-year-old cousin Mark did the same thing! As you can imagine, Sally comes from a family of keen sailors. Her father has built and repaired boats all his life, and her mother was a sailing champion. In fact, Sally’s first home was a sailing boat! Although she grew up in Penzance, and attends secondary school there, her family have gone on long sailing trips all over the world. At one point, just before Sally was old enough to go to school, they took a six-month cruise of the Pacific islands. When she became a teenager, Sally started to save money to buy her own boat. She ended up with an old 11 -metre yacht, which her father helped repair. Sally also managed to get financial assistance when she found a sports company willing to give her money in return for advertising their product on the side of the boat. Sally set off from Penzance on 29 March 2015, and headed east. Her father had arranged for her to stay with an old friend of his in Aberdeen - roughly half way through her journey. His friend had been a keen sailor in his younger days, but no longer took part due to an accident. Sally was glad to sleep in a house for a couple of nights! When she set off, Sally still had some schoolwork to finish, so she carried on studying while she was away. She took a laptop and her schoolbooks with her. In the evenings, she’d send her work to her father by email, and he’d check it to make sure she was doing okay. The trip was not without problems. A faulty pump prevented the fuel from flowing to the engine. What is more, there were several occasions when she had to deal with two-metre waves. Also, a complete lack of wind meant that she couldn’t land in Aberdeen to see her father’s friend as soon as she would have liked to. On June 30, after three months at sea, Sally arrived back in Penzance harbour. At the party put on for her, Sally’s cousin Mark - who was only 14 at the time - was so excited by her stories that he decided to copy her. From that day on, Sally did everything she could to encourage him to do that. 106. Sally is the youngest person in her family to sail around Britain alone. ____ 107.
