1 WYNBERG BOYS HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH HOME LANGUAGE LANGUAGE EXAM Grade 9 Examiner: PK June 2012 Time: 1hr 30min Moderator: EM Total: 60 marks Instructions: Write clearly and neatly. Ensure that your name and your teacher s monogram are at the top of every page. All answers must be in full sentences where necessary, and must be in your own words as far as possible. Number your answers correctly according to the numbering of the questions. Question One: Comprehension Carefully read the article below and answer the questions that follow: Graffiti: Street art or crime? A group of south London graffiti artists were jailed last week for up to two years for defacing public property. Yet as they begin their sentences, their work is to be championed by a New York gallery. As a society, we seem to be a little mixed-up when it comes to "graffiti", as you call it if you work in the local council's cleansing department, or "street art" as you say if you're the chap and they do mainly seem to be blokes wielding the spray can. But the confusion now runs deeper than those who spray and those who remove the paint. Great British institutions have been polarised. Last week the might of English law delivered its verdict at Southwark Crown Court where five members of the DPM graffiti crew were jailed one, Andrew Gillman, for two years after admitting conspiracy to cause criminal damage costing the taxpayer at least 1m. By contrast, just down the road, the riverside facade of Tate Modern had been covered in giant murals by six urban artists with international reputations, including Blu from Bologna, Faile from New York, and Sixeart from Barcelona, in the first display of street art at a major museum. The courtroom and the museum were so close that supporters of the men on trial popped down to the Tate to do a bit of retouching during one lunchtime adjournment
2 A gallery in New York launches an exhibition next week based on the work of those convicted at Southwark. "DPM Exhibit A", at the Anonymous Gallery Project in SoHo, will display large photographs of the convicts' work alongside copies of their charge sheets to ask whether the men are criminals or artists. It is a question which prompts different answers in different parts of the world, says Cedar Lewinsohn, the curator of the exhibition at Tate Modern. "Brazil for instance is more relaxed about it," he says. In parts of Australia, they are like the UK and people really hate graffiti and tags on vans and trains, but in Melbourne van drivers compete with each other as to whose is more decorated. Street art, you see, is a highly polarising phenomenon. On the one hand there are those like the American artist Elura Emerald, who is also involved in next week's New York exhibition, who insist that "artists who paint on the street are merely expressing themselves, not hurting anyone" and should not be punished "but appreciated and celebrated". Then there are those like Judge Christopher Hardy who, in court in Southwark, described the activities of the DPM Crew as "a wholesale self-indulgent campaign to damage property on an industrial scale". The judge had little patience with Gillman's notion that "trains were like a moving canvas" on which to create something artistic and thought-provoking that made "commuters look up from their paper". Judge Hardy admitted that "it would be wrong of me not to acknowledge that some examples of your handiwork show considerable artistic talent", but he concluded, "the trouble is that it is has been sprayed all over other people's property without their consent and that is simply vandalism." Over the two years the bill must have run into millions of pounds. Peterborough City Council recently tried to find a compromise. It erected two 8ft by 4ft boards to allow artists there to express themselves freely. The trouble was that they were pulled down by vandals Why would the city council be frustrated by graffiti? 1.2 Which gender is more involved in graffiti? Quote from the text to support your answer. (2) 1.3 What word in paragraph 1 refers to the confusion spoken about in paragraph 2? 1.4 What are murals? (paragraph 3) What does the phrase a bit of retouching mean? (paragraph 3) (2) What is the reason behind this retouching? 1.6 Which two countries have a similar attitude towards graffiti? (2) 1.7 Are all parts of Australia against graffiti? Quote from the text to support your answer. (2) Name the figure of speech in trains were like a moving canvas. (paragraph 7) Explain the use of the figure of speech above. (2) 1.9 Provide a synonym for consent. (paragraph 8) 1.10 Why is the concluding paragraph ironic? (3) 1.11 What message is the graffiti artist trying to convey in the picture? [20] 2
3 Question Two: Summary IN NO MORE THAN 49 WORDS, write down SEVEN ways suggested in the passage in which people can prevent street crime. INSTRUCTIONS: - List 7 facts in FULL sentences. - Each sentence should not be longer than 7 words. - NUMBER your sentences from 1 to 7. - Write down only ONE fact per sentence. - Use your OWN words as far as possible. - Indicate the number of words per sentence at the end of each sentence and the total at the end of the summary. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM STREET CRIME Millions of street crimes are committed every year. It is something we fear and we must do all we can to protect ourselves. A self-assured walk makes you look confident and strong, even if you re not. Walk with your head up and keep your eyes on the people around you. Criminals go for the weak, the absent-minded, the clumsy. Criminals carefully watch you with the intention of snatching your bag. If your bag has a flap, tuck it against you. Carry your bag under your coat if there s room. Also, don t keep your keys in your bag. If it is stolen, anyone can get into your house. We need to be aware that many criminals wait around cash machines or ATMs. For this reason we must use these cautiously. For example, do not use a cash machine that is in an isolated place or walk away counting your notes. Choose an ATM where are people nearby and put your money away immediately. One would think sensible people would know this, but watch how easily people walk away, counting their notes. People are often very careless about locking their car doors. Perhaps they re too busy to take the precaution. While doing research for a television news show, a team of investigators tried to open the doors of 15 cars at a busy intersection. Only two were locked. Criminals look for people sitting in stationary cars. Sometimes they distract you by pretending that there is something wrong with your car, to tempt you out of your vehicle. Whatever you do, don t get out. If someone appears, saying he is a policeman, ask for his ID; if he has none, drive away. You can report the incident later by phone. 7+3=[10] 3
