A large number of inventions require years of arduous research and development before they
are perfected. For instance, Thomas Edison had to make more than 1,000 attempts to invent the
incandescent light bulb before he finally succeeded. History is replete with numerous other
examples of people trying, yet failing to make inventions before they eventually succeede d. Yet
some inventions have come about not through hard work but simply by accident.

In most cases, when someone unintentionally invented something, the inventor was attempting
to create something else. For example, in the 1930s, chemist Roy Plunkett was attempting to make a
new substance that could be used to refrigerate items. He mixed some chemicals together. Then, he
put them into a pressurized container and cooled the mixture. By the time his experiment was
completed, he had a new invention. It was not a new substance that could be used for refrigeration
though. Instead, he had invented Teflon, which is today most commonly used to make nonstick pots
and pans. Similarly, decades earlier, John Pemberton was a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia .He was
attempting to create a tonic that people could use whenever they had headaches. While he was not
successful in that endeavor, he managed to invent Coca - Cola, the world – famous carbonated soft
drink.

Scientists have also made crucial discoveries by accident when they were conducting
experiments. In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, an antibiotic, in this manner. He
discovered some mold growing in a dish with some bacteria. He noticed that the bacteria seemed to
be avoiding the mold. When he investigated further, he determined some of the many useful
properties of penicillin, which has saved millions of lives over the past few decades. Likewise, in
1946, scientist Percy Spencer was conducting an experiment with microwaves. He had a candy bar
in his pocket, and he noticed that it suddenly melted. He investigated and learned the reason why
that had happened. Soon afterward, he built a device that could utilize microwaves to heat food: the
microwave oven.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

With Robert Laurent and William Zorach, direct carving enters into the story of modern
sculpture in the United States. Direct carving - in which the sculptors themselves carve stone or
wood with mallet and chisel - must be recognized as something more than just a technique. Implicit
in it is an aesthetic principle as well: that the medium has certain qualities of beauty and
expressiveness with which sculptors must bring their own aesthetic sensibilities into harmony. For
example, sometimes the shape or veining in a piece of stone or wood suggests, perhaps even
dictates, not only the ultimate form, but even the subject matter.

The technique of direct carving was a break with the nineteenth-century tradition in which the
making of a clay model was considered the creative act and the work was then turned over to studio
assistants to be cast in plaster or bronze or carved in marble. Neoclassical sculptors seldom held a
mallet or chisel in their own hands, readily conceding that the assistants they employed were far
better than they were at carving.

With the turn-of-the-century Crafts movement and the discovery of nontraditional sources of
inspiration, such as wooden African figures and masks, there arose a new urge for hands-on,
personal execution of art and an interaction with the medium. Even as early as the 1880's and
1890's, nonconformist European artists were attempting direct carving. By the second decade of the
twentieth century, Americans - Laurent and Zorach most notably - had adopted it as their primary
means of working.

Born in France, Robert Laurent (1890-1970) was a prodigy who received his education in the
United States. In 1905 he was sent to Paris as an apprentice to an art dealer, and in the years that
followed he witnessed the birth of Cubism, discovered primitive art, and learned the techniques of
woodcarving from a frame maker.

Back in New York City by 1910, Laurent began carving pieces such as The Priestess, which
reveals his fascination with African, pre-Columbian, and South Pacific art. Taking a walnut plank,
the sculptor carved the expressive, stylized design.

It is one of the earliest examples of direct carving in American sculpture. The plank's form
dictated the rigidly frontal view and the low relief. Even its irregular shape must have appealed to
Laurent as a break with a long-standing tradition that required a sculptor to work within a perfect
rectangle or square.

Question 43: The word “medium” in paragraph 1 could be used to refer to _______.

A. principle B. mallet and chisel C. technique D. stone or wood

Question 45: The word “dictates” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. includes B. determines C. reads aloud D. records

Question 46: How does direct carving differ from the nineteenth-century tradition of sculpture?

B. Sculptors find their inspiration in neoclassical sources.

C. Sculptors have replaced the mallet and chisel with other tools.

D. Sculptors receive more formal training.
