　　Part A

　　Directions：

　　Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A， B， C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.

　　Text I

　　Usually when we hear the word " artist" we think of a person who paints pictures， but the word has a much wider meaning than that， for anyone who adds beauty to a thing has shown that he is an artist. In the publishing world， there are many artists besides the illustrators， as you can find if you trace the steps introducing a book.

　　After the author （ who is an artist in the choice of ideas and words ） has sold a manuscript to the publisher， an editor goes over it. The work of editing involves artistic skill too， for the editor may know how to improve the author' s work by cutting and revising the manuscript. Then the editor looks over the manuscript and decides how it may be best illustrated. The editor and a designer discuss how all the parts of the book－the illustrations， words， paper， and binding－shall be put together so that the book best communicate the subject and the spirit which was intended by the author.

　　Illustrations are drawn which will not only emphasize without words things said in the story， but which will add information or ideas that cannot be put into words. When the illustrations and text are completely prepared they are sent to the printer who carefully， and often artistically， sets the type and prints the book.

　　Once the material has been printed， it is sent to the binder who makes the book into a unit for selling and reading. The binder， too， is an artist， for he makes use of special techniques to make the outside of the book attractive， as well as appropriate to the contents. Meanwhile， a sales staff is at work preparing advertisements to help sell the book.
