(B) Europa is far older than scientists originally thought (C) Europa39。s temperature is maintained by Jupiter39。s vast store of internal heat.(D) The ocean waters of Europa could contain some forms of life.19 The word it in line 24 refers to (A) internal heat (B) warm phase (C) Europa39。s ocean (D) surfaceThe term print has several meanings, so it is important to understand exactly what ismeant by the artistic terminology. A print in the artistic sense is not a reproduction of awork of art done in some other medium, such as painting or drawing. That can in no sense be considered a work of art, since the artist had no involvement with it. A print is an originalwork of art created by an indirect method. Instead of making an image directly on a surface,as in drawing or painting, the artist works on a master surface, which may be a sheet ofmetal, a block of stone, wood, plastic, or linoleum. From this master surface, numerousimpressions may be made by inking the surface, laying a sheet of paper on it, and thensubjecting both surface and paper to pressure, generally by means of a printing press.A print may exist in several versions. Sometimes the printmaker alters the image betweenimpressions, so that each print is slightly different from the others. Any series of such printsis referred to as multiples. The number of impressions (known as the edition) that arepossible from a single original varies with the material. Prints made from linoleum, whichwears readily, will be fewer than those made from a metal plate, which is capable of strikingfinequality prints in the thousands. It is customary to number prints as they e off thepress, the earlier impressions being the finest and therefore the most desirable.Prints incorporate the same positional principles, as paintings. Line, shape, or texturemay be the predominant element according to the printing technique used. Some prints haveobvious decorative qualities while others may be filled with emotional impact.Printmaking derives from two historical sources: early woodblocks into which animage was cut and used to illustrate a book or playing cards, and the medieval practice ofdecorating metal with incised designs, as in armor. Today most techniques fall into one offour categories: relief( intaglio, lithography, and serigraphy. However, there are manyvariations, binations with photographic techniques, and considerable overlapping.20. In the artistic sense, a print is a work of art created by (A) making a painting from an original drawing (B) drawing or painting similar images many times (C) transferring an original image from one surface to another(D)copying an original image made on paper onto a hard surface21. The word That in line 3 refers to (A) terminology (B) sense (C) reproduction (D) medium22. Which of the following is mentioned as an example of a master surface? (A) a drawing or painting (B) a block of stone (C) a sheet of paper(D) a printing press23. The word versions in line 10 is closcst in meaning to (A) ideas (B) numbers (C) functions(D) forms24. Which of the following terms is NOT defined in the passage? (A) print (line I) (B) impressions (line 8)(C) multiples (line 12)(D) edition (line 12)25. A metal plate is pared favorably with linoleum as a meter surface because a metal plate (A)lasts longer (B) is less expensive (C) makes prints more quickly (D) produces a greater variety of prints26. The word customary in line 15 is closest in meaning to (A) necessary (B) attractive (C) legal(D) usual27. The phrase according to in line 18 is closest in meaning to (A) in addition
