Part of the explanation for this may lie in the fact that, when it comes to the crunch, nosing around someone’s bookshelves is interesting ‘You can tell a lot about someone by their collection of books,’ says Doug Jeffers, owner of a London bookstore It’s not just the quantity of titles on display, however, that speaks volumes; generation, occupation, political leanings, leisure pursuits (even where they go on holiday) – clues to all of these abound, if you care to analyse the contents of someone’s bookshelves, and even casual visitors aren’t slow to form judgements Evidence of this manifested itself when the President of the USA made an informal call on the English Prime minister at home recently, and for some reason the pair posed for photos in the kitchen One of the snapshots was subsequently released to the press, and widely published There then ensued much speculation as to how the complete works of Shakespeare had ended up on the shelf in the background rather than a cookery book Household stylist Abigail Hall agrees ‘I often style houses for sale and you’d be amazed how important the contents of the bookcase can be.’ Apparently, people use such clues to form judgements about the type of person who lives in a property that’s up for sale, and this may affect how they feel about going ahead with the purchase Perhaps we all seek out others whose tastes in such matters match our own, and we can imagine living happily in a space that likeminded people have made homely And even if we’re not thinking of putting our home on the market, instinct tells us that however much they were enjoyed, paperbacks read on the beach might be better put away in a cupboard, whilst the unopened classics are destined for display For the interior designer, however, the art of reputation-management-via-bookshelf is not the only issue Books can also become an interactive display tool ‘They can almost be sculptural in that they offer a physical presence,’ explains Abigail Hall ‘It’s not just about stacking them on a bookcase, it’s how you stack them I’ve seen books arranged by colour, stacked on top of each other Once I saw a load of coffee-table books piled up to become a coffee table in themselves Books define a space, if you have some books and a comfy chair, you’ve immediately created an area.’ It’s a trick of which countless hotels, cafés and waiting rooms for fee-paying clients are only too aware Placing a few carefully-chosen books atop coffee tables is about creating an ambiance No one actually engages with the content And this principle can be transferred to the home ‘I’ve not actually read any of them I just love the bindings.’ So said the actress, Davinia Taylor, earlier this year when she decided to put her house on the market – complete with its carefully-sourced collection of classic books Rarely removed from their perch on a bookcase in the living room, their primary purpose was to disguise Taylor’s walk-in fridge And so, with the fridge no longer destined to be a feature in her life, the books were deemed redundant Perhaps, then, the future of books lies in this With more and more being bought in the undeniably handier digital format, the first casualties of the tangible variety are likely to be the beach-read paperbacks – the ones that, if you invite Abigail Hall around, would be relegated to the garage anyway But given the uses to which we put our other tomes – whether they’re deployed to show off, look pretty, or create an atmosphere – the odds of them hanging around look good The kudos of great work is still there, and there’s nothing like being, and being seen to be, in possession of the real thing 86 What is the writer’s main aim in the first paragraph? A seeking to account for a seemingly illogical perspective B questioning our assumptions about people’s behaviour C drawing our attention to an ongoing process D outlining the reasons for shifts in priorities 87 It can be implied from the passage that: A The appeal of non-digital books is a sound answer to the important roles of them B The number of books displayed on the shelves is a manifestation of the casualness of their owner C A person’s characteristics may be well reflected in the non-digital books he has D What is written in the books one possesses may unveil hidden depths of them 88 The example of what happened after the release of a photo featuring two political figures serves to illustrate: A the revealing quality of photoshoots B people’s curiosity about private lives of politicians C the attractiveness of unusual features in a photo D books’ faculty for grabbing people’s attention 89 Described in the passage is a tendency for people to: A forge a relationship with people having the same tastes B reach their own conclusions based on a person’s bookshelf C showcase their wealth by displaying unused classic books D take an interest in reading books with paper cover 90 As can be deduced from the passage, in hotels or cafés, considerable importance is attached to: A incentivizing visitors to read books on the shelf B establishing an atmosphere with the aid of well-placed books C charging customers a considerable sum of money for using books D piling books according to categorization of their colours 91 The phrase “this principle” most probably refers to: A the use of books to create a climate without paying much heed to the content of those on show B the arrangement of books in order of content to impress visitors right from their arrival at a place C the tricks used to magnetize visitors which are usually adopted by hotels and cafés D the interactivity of books which can be of assistance to the formation of an ambiance within a house 92 What can be said about books in the case of Davinia Taylor? A They were not regarded as reflections of her taste in reading B Their titles were inappropriately selected for display C Their presence was indispensable to the house she intends to sell D They fell into disuse as there was no longer a need for another item 93 Given the current situation, the writer suggests that: A paperbacks are definitely the most vulnerable to redundancy B technology has raised the number of books purchased C there remains a likelihood that non-digital books are put on display D owning a tangible item is a tantalising thing 94 In the passage as a whole, the writer’s primary aim is most probably to: A elucidate the arguments in favour of non-digital books B foreshadow the decline of paperbacks C express a sanguine view regarding the future of non-digital books D avert any attempts by other people to defame books 95 Which of the following adjectives best describe a characteristic of this passage? A well-supported B well-rounded C well-appointed D well-turned Your answers 86 91 87 92 88 93 89 94 90 95 10 Part For questions 96-105, read the passage and the following tasks Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes on the answer sheet (15 points) The Hollywood Film Industry A This chapter examine the ‘Golden Age' or the Hollywood film studio system and explores how a particular kind of filmmaking developed during this period in US film history It also focuses on the two key elements which influenced the emergence of the classic Hollywood studio system: the advent of sound and the business idea of vertical integration In addition to its historical interest, inspecting the growth of the studio system may offer clues regarding the kinds of struggles that accompany the growth of any new medium It might, in fact, be intriguing to examine which changes occurred during the growth of the Hollywood studio, and compare those changes to contemporary struggles in which production companies are trying to define and control emerging industries, such as online film and interactive television B The shift of the industry away from 'silent’ films began during the late 1920s Warner Bros’ 1927 film- The Jazz Singer was the first to feature synchronized speech, and with it came a period of turmoil for the industry Studios now had proof that 'talkie' films would make them money, but the financial investment this kind of filmmaking would require, from new camera equipment to new projection facilities, made the studios hesitant to invest at first In the end, the power of cinematic sound to both move audiences and enhance the story persuaded studios that talkies were worth investing in Overall, the use of sound in film was well-received by audiences, but there were still many technical factors to consider, Although full integration of sound into movies was complete by 1930, it would take somewhat longer for them to regain their stylistic elegance and dexterity The camera now had to be encased in a big, clumsy, unmovable soundproof box In addition, actors struggled, having to direct their speech to awkwardly-hidden microphones in huge plants, telephones or even costumes C Vertical integration is the other key component in the rise of the Hollywood studio system The major studios realized they could increase their profits by handling each stage of a film's life: production (making the film), distribution (getting the film out to people) and exhibition (owning the theaters in major cities where films were shown first) Five studios, ‘The Big Five', worked to achieve vertical integration through the late 1940s, owning vast real estate on which to construct elaborate sets In addition, these studios set the exact terms of films release dates and patterns Warner Bros, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, MGM and RKO formed this exclusive club ‘The Little Three' studios - Universal Columbia and United Artists - also made pictures, but each lacked one of the crucial elements of vertical integration Together these eight companies operated as a mature oligopoly, essentially running the entire market D During the Golden Age, the studios were remarkably consistent and stable enterprises, due in large part to long-term management heads - the infamous ‘movie moguls’ who ruled their kingdoms with iron fists At MGM, Warner Bros and Columbia, the same men ran their studios for decades The rise of the studio system also hinges on the treatment of stars, who were constructed and exploited to suit a studio’s image and schedule Actors were bound up in seven11 year contracts to a single studio, and the studio boss generally held all the options Stars could be loaned out to other production companies at any time Studio bosses could also force bad rules on actors, and manipulate every single derail of stars’ images with their mammoth in-house publicity departments Some have compared the Hollywood studio system to a factory, and it is useful to remember that studios were out to make money first and art second E On the other hand, studios also had to cultivate flexibility, in addition to characterizations of individual studios, styles MGM tended to put out a lot of all-star productions while Paramount excelled in comedy and Warner Bros developed a reputation for gritty social realism 20th Century Fox forged the musical and a great deal of prestige biographies, while Universal specialized in classic horror movies F In 1948, struggling independent movie producers and exhibitors finally triumphed in their battle against the big studios’ monopolistic behavior In the States versus Paramount federal decree of that year, the studios were ordered to give up their theaters in what, is commonly referred to as ‘divestiture’-opening the market, to smaller producers This, coupled with the advent of television in the 1500s, seriously compromised the studio systems influence and profits Hence, 1930 and 1948 are generally considered bookends to Hollywood’s Golden Age Choose the correct heading for each paragraph from the list of headings bellows List of Headings i The power within each studio ii The movie industry adapts to innovation iii Contrasts between cinema and other media of the time iv The value of studying Hollywood’s Golden Age v Distinguishing themselves from the rest of the market vi A double attack on film studios' power vii Gaining control of the industry viii The top movies of Hollywood's Golden Age 96 Paragraph A 97 Paragraph B 98 Paragraph C 99 Paragraph D 100 Paragraph E Do the following statements agree with the information given in the reading passage?
