Joseph Mallord William Turner, perhaps the most prolific and innovative of all British artists, was born in London in 1775, to a barber and a wig-maker. Possibly due to the ill health of his mother, the young Turner was sent to stay with various relatives as a child. His paintings are held in national and international collections, for example at the Tate Gallery (London, UK), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City, US) and the Dunedin Public Art Gallery (New Zealand). He first exhibited at the Royal Academy at the age of 15. Slowly he became well-known and became a member of this institution. He remained a Londoner and kept a working-class Cockney accent all his life, avoiding the veneer of social polish acquired by many artists of the time as they climbed the professional ladder. Although he was better known for his oil paintings, he also made prints and he was recognized as a master of water colours too.

Turner travelled throughout Europe and he particularly loved Venice. From the 1790s he undertook sketching tours in England, Wales and Scotland, gathering material for water colours and oil paintings, and gradually discovering the attractions of awe-inspiring mountainous landscapes, which became a major preoccupation in his work. In 1802 he made his first journey to Continental Europe. He was to return in 1817, after the end of the Napoleonic wars, and from then on made annual visits across the Channel for much of the rest of his life. Venice, as a maritime city, had an irresistible appeal for Turner, who from his earliest days was absorbed in the power and serenity of the sea.

Between 1830 and 1839, Turner produced around 150 vignette illustrations for the work of authors who included Scott, Lord Byron, Samuel Rogers, and Thomas Campbell. Turner was an enthusiastic reader and responded with great sensitivity to the works he illustrated. He excelled at designing vignettes, often condensing a vast range of incidents and landscapes into a miniature space.

Turner died at Cheyne Walk in Chelsea, and was buried in St Paul's Cathedral. Because he had wanted all of his paintings to stay in one building for the people of Britain, the Scottish National Gallery's holdings of works by Turner have entered the collection through a variety of purchases, gifts and bequests.

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.

People have defined 'skyscraper' in a number of ways over the years: An ornament on the top of a building, a high-flying bird, a very tall man and a sail at the top of a mast. At the end of the nineteenth century, the word was used to refer to buildings of ten storeys or more. Later, a lift was used to take people up to the higher floors, as in the most famous skyscraper, the Empire State Building. During the Middle Ages, the people who lived in the cities of northern Europe began to build great cathedrals. Tall spires were added to make these churches higher and bring them closer to heaven.

In the nineteenth century, as cities grew more crowded with people looking for work, the value of land rocketed . New businesses were starting and in order to make room for offices on a small plot of land, it was necessary to build higher. But the problem was that to put up a stone building of such height, the walls on the ground floor would have to be more than two metres thick to hold the weight of the building. So another material was required to make skyscrapers possible.

About this time, three buildings were put up that used iron or steel to support great weight with safety. They were the Crystal Palace in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. From then on, architects started to experiment with buildings that had steel frames and they have made huge progress. Today, the tallest skyscrapers are a hundred storeys or more, compared to the first ten -storey skyscrapers, which seem tiny.
