Stone, wood, tree bark, clay, and sand are generally available materials. In addition, depending on the locality, other resources may be accessible: shells, horns, gold, copper, and silver. The different uses to which societies put these materials are of interest to anthropologists who may ask, for example, why a person chooses to use clay and not copper when both items are available. Although there are no <\/span>conclusive <\/span>answers yet, the way in which a society views its environment is sometimes <\/span>apparent <\/span>in its choice and use of artistic materials. The use of certain metals, for example, may be reserved for ceremonial objects of special importance. Or the belief in the <\/span>supernatural powers of a stone or tree <\/span>may cause a sculptor to be sensitive to that material. What is particularly meaningful to anthropologist is the realization that although the materials available to a society may to some extent limit or influence what <\/span>it <\/span>can do artistically, the materials by no means determine what is done. Why does the artist in Japanese society rake sand into patterns; and the artist in Roman society melt sand to form glass? <\/span>Moreover<\/span>, even when the same material is used in the same way by members of different societies, the form or style of the work varies enormously from culture to culture. A society may simply choose to represent objects or phenomena that are important to its population. An examination of the art of the Middle Ages tells us something about the medieval <\/span>preoccupation <\/span>with theological doctrine. In addition to revealing the <\/span>primary <\/span>concerns of a society, the content of that society\u2019s art may also reflect the culture\u2019s social stratification. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p> 1. According to the passage, gold, copper, and silver are <\/span><\/p> (A) more difficult to handle than wood and stone (B) commonly used by artists in all societies (C) essential to create ceremonial objects (D) available only in specific locations <\/span>2. The word \u201c<\/span>conclusive<\/span>\u201d is closest in meaning to <\/span><\/p> (A) definite (B) controversial (C) concurrent (D) realistic <\/span>3. The word \u201c<\/span>apparent<\/span>\u201d is closest in meaning to <\/span><\/p> (A) attractive (B) logical (C) evident (D) distinct <\/span>4. Why does the author mention the \u201c<\/span>supernatural powers of a stone or tree<\/span>\u201d? <\/span><\/p> (A) To show that some sculptors avoid working with specific materials <\/span><\/p> (B) To emphasize the unusual properties of certain materials <\/span><\/p> (C) As an example of how art can be influenced by cultural beliefs <\/span><\/p> (D) As an illustration of the impact of the environment on religious beliefs <\/span><\/p> 5. The word \u201c<\/span>it<\/span>\u201d refers to <\/span><\/p> (A) realization (B) society (C) extent (D) influence <\/span>6. It can be inferred that the author mentions the Japanese and Roman societies because <\/span><\/p> (A) they influenced each other (B) of their stable social conditions <\/span><\/p> (C) of the unique stylistic features of their art (D) they used the same artistic material in very different ways <\/span>7. According to the passage, all of the following statements about sand are true EXCEPT <\/span><\/p> (A) it is used to create glass (B) Roman artists mix it into their paints <\/span><\/p> (C) its use varies from culture to culture (D) Japanese artists use it to create artistic patterns <\/span>8. The word \u201c<\/span>
