Before Laura Gilpin(1891-1979), few women in the history of photography had so devoted

themselves to chronicling the landscape.

Ok,

Other women had photographed the land, but none can be regarded as a landscape

photographer with a sustained body of work documenting the physical terrain. Anne Brigman

often photographed woodlands and coastal areas, but they were generally settings for her

artfully placed subjects. Dorothea Lange's landscapes were always conceived of as counterparts

to her portraits of rural women.

At the same time that Gilpin's interest in landscape work distinguished her from most other

women photographers, her approach to landscape photography set her apart from men

photographers who, like Gilpin, documented the western United States. Western American

landscape photography grew out of a male tradition, pioneered by photographers attached to

government and commercial survey teams that went west in the 1860s and 1870s. These

explorer- photographers documented the West that their employers wanted to see: an exotic

and majestic land shaped by awesome natural forces, unpopulated and ready for American

settlement. The next generation of male photographers, represented by Ansel Adams and Eliot

Porter, often worked with conservationist groups rather than government agencies or

commercial companies, but they nonetheless preserved the heroic style and maintained the

role of respectful outsider peering in with reverence at a fragile natural world.

Some scientists say that global warming will occur because people are releasing large amounts

of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning trees and fossil fuels. We can see, though, that

the predicted warming is occurring already. In the middle of last winter, we had a month of

springlike weather in our area, and this fall, because of unusually mild temperatures, the leaves

on our town's trees were three weeks late in turning color.

Out of Scope,

Eg:

Galileo stuck lenses onto either of an organ pipe; today's research telescopes, while considerably

more elaborate, still perform the same fundamental task of collecting and focusing light. It's all

astronomers have to go on: electromagnetic radiation from distant objects, whether it arrives in

the form of X rays or visible light or radio waves. Scientists rely, for instance, on spectroscopy,

the process of separating light emitted by an object in space into its opponent wavelengths, as

a prism does, then analyzing those components. And they invent new tools to analyze the light.

To probe deeper and deeper into space, scientist must design better and better detectors,

sensitive to the faintest of emissions.

It can be inferred from the passage that spectroscopy

A.Insufficient to describe the contours of objects in space.

B.interprets information from distance objects

C.does rely on light emissions as well as other components.

Allen and Wolkowitz's research challenges the common claim that homework-waged labor

performed at home for a company is primarily a response to women workers' needs and

preferences. By focusing on a limited geographical area in order to gather in-depth information,

the authors have avoided the methodological pitfalls that have plagued earlier research on

homework. Their findings disprove accepted notions about homeworkers: that they are

unqualified for other jobs and that they use homework as a short-term strategy for dealing with

child care.

The authors conclude that the persistence of homework cannot be explained by appeal to such

notions, for, in fact, homeworkers do not differ sharply from other employed women. Most

homeworkers would prefer to work outside the home but are constrained from doing so by lack

of employers' desires to minimize fixed costs: homeworkers receive no benefits and are paid less

than regular employees.

1. According to the passage, which of the following has been generally believed about

homework?

(A) the benefits of homework accrue primarily to employers rather than to homeworkers.

(B) Homework is prevalent predominantly in rural areas.

(C) Homework is primarily a response to the preferences of women workers.

(D) Few homeworkers rely on homework for the majority of their family income.

(E) Most homework is seasonal and part-time rather than full-time and year-round.

2. The passage suggests which of the following about previous research on homework?

(A) It was conducted primarily with women who did not have extensive household

responsibilities or care for small children at home.

(B) It was conducted with homeworkers and companies over a large geographical area.

(C) It indicated that women homeworkers had numerous opportunities to work outside the home.

(D) It indicated that homeworkers usually work for companies that are close to their homes.

(E) It indicated that homework was financially advantageous to large companies.
