  • Questions16-24arebasedon the following passage.

    Thispassageon Navajo sandpaintingwaspublishedin 1989bya scholarofNavajotraditionswhowastryingto interpretthemfor non-Navajo readers.Sandpaintingsaremade by trickling fine, multi-coloredsandsonto a baseof neutral-coloredsand.

    We cannotfully appreciatesomeNativeAmericanobjectswe considerart without alsoappreciatingthe cDntextsin which theyarepro-duced.When our understandingof art is heavilyfocusedon objects,we tendto look in the wrongplacefor art.We find only the leavingsor by-productsof a creativeprocess.

    The concernsI havearedeepenedas I begintocomparehow we, as outsiders,view sandpaintingswithhow the Navajoview them, evenjust from aphysicalperspective.Let me list severalpoints ofcomparison.We haveonly representationsof sand-paintingsdrawnor paintedon paperor canvas,whichwe enjoyas objectsof art.The Navajostrictlyforbidmakingrepresentationsof sand-paintings,andtheyareneverkept as aestheticobjects.Even theuse of figuresfrom sandpaintingsin thesand-gluecrafthasnot met with the approvalofmostNavajotraditionalists.Sandpaintingsmustbedestroyedby sundownon the daytheyaremade.Theyarenot aestheticobjects;they areinstrumentsofa ritual process.The sandpaintingrite is a rite ofre-creationin which a personin needof healingissymbolicallyremadein a way correspondingto hisorherailment.This personsits at the centerof theverylargepaintingandidentifieswith the imagesdepicted,experiencingthe complexityandthediversity,the dynamicsandthe tension,representedin thesurroundingpainting.The illness is overcomewhenthe personrealizesthat thesetensionsandoppositionscanbebalancedin a unity that signifiesgoodhealthandbeauty.

    he or shesits in themiddleof it. Thesedifferences(50)arebasicandcannotbe dismissed.The traditional

    Navajoview is inseparablefrom the significancethat sandpaintinghasfor the Navajo.

    I think ~e cansaythat for the Navajothe sand-paintingis not the intendedproductof the creative

    (55)processin which it is constructed.The productis ahealthyhumanbeingor the re-creationof a v,reH-orderedworld. The sandpaintingis but an instru-ment for the creativeact,andperhapsit thewis-dom of the Navajo that it be destroyedin useso

  • Section7 7

    Questions1-12arebasedonthefollowingpassages.

    Thefollowingadaptationsfromlate-twentieth-centuryworksofferperspectiveson theworkofbotanistCarolusLinnaeus(1707-1778),whotaughtat theUniversityof Uppsala,Sweden.

    Passage1

    Linnaeus'enormousandessentialcontributiontonaturalhistory was to devisea systemof class-ification wherebyanyplant or animal couldbe

    ~ineidentifiedandslottedinto an overallplan. In(5) creatingthis system,Linnaeusalso introduceda

    methodof namingbiological speciesthat is stillusedtoday.Thesetwo innovationsmay soundunexcitinguntil one tries to imaginea scientificworld without thesefundamentaltools- aswas

    (10)indeedthe casewith naturalhistory beforetheLinnaeansystem.

    Previousnaturalists(andLinnaeushimself in hisyouth)had triedto namespeciesby enumeratingallof a species'distinguishingfeatures.Often these

    (15)multiword nameshad to be expandedwhen similarrelatedspecieswerediscovered,andthe namesdifferedfrom authorto authorand languagetolanguage.Naturalists thereforehaddifficultyunderstandingandbuilding on oneanother'swork.

    (20)It becamecrucial that everyspecieshavethe same, namein all languages.In usingLatinfornamingspecies,Linnaeusfollowed the customof his time,but in reducingthe nameof eachspeciesto twowords- the genus,commonto everyspecieswithin

    (25)thegenus,andthe speciesnameitself-he madeaninvaluablebreakwith the past.For instance,a shellwith earliernamessuch as "Marbled JamaicaMurexwith Knotty Twirls (Petiver)"becamesimplyStrombusgigas1. ("L" for Linnaeus).

    (30) Yet the invention of a systemof nomenclature,vital as it hascometo seem,was trivial by com-parisonwith Linnaeus'main achievement:devisinga classificationsystemfor all organisms,so thatscientistsno longerhad to list everyspecies

    (35)individually. Linnaeus'universallyunderstoodclassificationof speciesalsoenabledscientiststoretrieveinformation,makepredictions,and

    550

    (40)

    understandtraitsby association.Linnaeusdividedeachkingdom(animal,vegetable,andmineral)intohierarchiesthat arestill, with someadditions,fol-lowedtoday.His classificationsreflectaneighteenth-centuryconceptof naturein which all organisms,gradedfrom lower to higher,formeda ladderor"greatchain of being,"with the humanspeciesatthe summ.it.

    Linnaeushimself would probablyhavebeenthefirst to admit that classificationis only a tool,andnot the ultimate purpose,of biologicalinquiry.Unfortunately,this truth wasnot apparentto hisimmediatesuccessors,andfor the next hundredyearsbiologistswereto concernthemselvesalmostexclusivelywith classification.All facts,howevertrivial, wererevered;all theories,howeverstimu-lating,wereshunned.And the factswith whichthesenaturalistsweremostconcernedwerethosebearingon the descriptionandclassificationofspecies.
