Part I

Text IThe most magnificent examples of ancient creativity are the majestic paintings ourancestors made on the wall of caves, the most famous example of which is the caverns of
Lascaux in France. Discovered by four boys a half century ago, Lascaux contains
hundreds of paintings of animals. Images of bison, deer, horses, and a half-dozen lions
are all exquisitely painted and in such natural positions that they must have appeared
alive when viewed by the faint flicker of torchlight. Deep within the cave is one of themost puzzling figures of Ice Age art: a painting of a huge bison, its head and horns
pointed downward, poised to attack a curiously drawn, almost sticklike figure of a man
wearing what appears to be a bird mask. The bison has been seriously wounded by aspear, and the man has fallen in front of it.
The haunting image of this fallen hunter shows the deep mystery of Ice Age art as awhole. One can not help looking at the images and struggling to understand them. What
do the paintings mean? What role did the art play in society? Not surprisingly, perhaps,these questions are still being asked about art being created today.
One suggestion is that Ice Age hunters used the painted images in ceremonies toincrease their chances during a hunt. A statistical analysis of nearly 2,000 images ofanimals found in another cave in France suggests that the aggressive behavior ofcertain animals may have played a role in whether they were depicted on cave walls.
Dangerous animals such as horses, bison and ibex, were pictured in the cave art more
frequently than their bones appear in nearby camp sites left by the early humans. Thissuggests that the Ice Age paintings don’t merely reflect our ancestors success in thehunt, but that the animals’ reputation as fierce prey may have had a symbolic meaningthat influenced their being portrayed in a painting.
Further insights into the role of Ice Age cave art have come from new efforts toanalyze the coloring, or pigment, used in the paintings. In one recent study of someseventy-five paintings from the Niaux cave in France, researchers found that the paints
were made with combinations of ocher*, charcoal, and other substances that wereENG
11

combined in characteristic “recipes.” Often the paint itself can be dated by conventionalarcheological methods, and, in one instance, a recipe of paint used in several paintings
matched that of a spot of paint that was found on bones discovered at a nearby ancient
campsite, which could also be dated. The results reveal that paintings at Niaux which
researchers had long assumed had been painted at roughly the same time because they
were painted in a similar style, were actually painted several centuries apart. The
endurance of these images across generations suggests they were not just pretty
pictures, but symbolic icons that persisted in our ancient ancestors' culture for centuries- much as certain icons, such as the Christian cross, persist in society today.

Text 2A crucial philosophical change occurred in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries when the perspectives of the new mechanical age replaced the organic view ofnature. Marjorie Nicolson has called this transition the “death of the Earth,” meaningthat the Earth was no longer regarded as an animate creature, but as a vast machine.
This change in perception was primarily a result of the new physics of Galileo, Kepler,and Newton, and new highly successful machines. Stars and planets moved likeclockwork according to universal rules and the Earth itself obeyed these rules. To
project its position and path through space only its current state need be known. New
machines such as telescopes, improved clocks, and turbine wheels made suchdiscoveries possible. The development of modern sciences, beginning with physics, led toa change in metaphors,* but more profoundly to a change in explanation; from a belief
in the Earth as an organism created by the Great Artist to a belief in the Earth as amagnificent machine invented by the Great Engineer.
With the new physics, beginning with Kepler's discovery that the orbits of theplanets are not perfect circles and thus not ideal in a certain classical interpretation,
the old truths began to lose their force, gradually becoming the language of poets rather
than of scientists. Descartes, in the Principles of Philosophy, provided a major turning
point, departing completely from theories of divine creation and thus a divine origin oforder to develop a theory from a basis in a mechanistic universe. Descartes and Newton
built the foundation from which the organic idea was supplanted by the machine-age
idea.
The rise of the mechanical world view had several important consequences. Firstwas the recognition of the power of the new laws of physics. Second was the rise ofmachines: the steam engine, the steam train, the sewing machine- the entire Industrial
Revolution. The success of the machines and their ability to transform society andimprove the standard of living reinforced the growing faith in the new sciences and themachine ideal. Third, the mechanistic view offered a new kind of theological perspective.
A perfectly working, idealized machine could be seen as the product of a perfect God.
ENG

www.bucho-net.com

(*This is NOT the actual test.)Thus we find the rise of the argument only too familiar to beginning students inphilosophy, that the world is “like a clock,” not only a perfect machine, but a machinewith a perfect maker. Finally, a mechanistic “nature” can also be re-engineered by us;
from this point of view, we believe that we can tinker with nature and improve it,
replace nature's equivalent of a waterwheel with a turbine wheel. This is the other sideof the coin of the mechanistic view, the side that has dominated much of ourmanagement of natural resources and the environment in the twentieth century.
*metaphor = 隠喩
60. What would be the best title for this passage?
a. “Science: Mind Over Matter?”b. “The Earth: Creature or Machine?”c. “The Nature of Engineering”
d. “Philosophy and God”
61. According to the author, what was the main reason for the shift from the Great
Artist theory to the Great Engineer theory?
a. Changes in the Earth itself.
b. The discovery of the turbine.
c. The development of new machines.
d. New religious thinking.
62. What was the role of Descartes in the new way of thinking?
a. He turned people away from philosophical explanations of the universe.
b. He linked the divine creation to a mechanistic theory of the universe.
c. He helped establish the notion of a mechanical world.
d. He laid the foundations for the idea of an organic universe.
63. Which of the following pairs is the best metaphorical representation of the text?
a. Paint brush to calculator.
b. Sewing machine to computer.

beverages _(74)_ have been the most popular and common daily drinks being _(75)_sources of fluids and calories. In a world of contaminated and dangerous water supplies,
alcohol _(76)_ earned the title granted it in the Middle Ages: aqua vitae, the “water oflife.”
Beer, which _(77)_ large amounts of starchy grain, would wait until the origin and_(78)_ of agriculture. The fertile river deltas of Egypt and Mesopotamia produced huge
crops of wheat and barley; the diet of peasants, laborers and soldiers of these ancientcivilizations _(79)_ almost entirely cereal-based. _(80)_ it could be seen as a historicalinevitability that fermented grain would one day be discovered. _(81)_ wine, naturalexperiment probably produced alcoholic substances that aroused the interest _(82)_sampled the results. Indeed, _(83)_ the third millennium B.C., Egyptians andBabylonians were drinking beers made from barley and wheat.
Wine, too, would get a boost from agriculture. Most fruit juice, _(84)_ wild grape
juice, is _(85)_ too low in sugar to produce wine, but the selection for sweeter grapes
leading _(86)_ the domestication of particular grape stock _(87)_ led to viniculture, thepractice of growing grapes to make wine. This practice of growing particular grape

Armenia, at about 6000 B.C. However, it must be _(91)_ that such dating is educatedguesswork _(92)_.
