Before Laura Gilpin(1891-1979), few women in the history of photography had so devoted
themselves to chronicling the landscape.

LG

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.

A out of scope Insufficient? Contour of objects? light.

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.
