Russian born Max Webber grew up in New York, studied art there, and then went back to
Europe to familiarize himself with contemporary artistic developments. On returning to the
United States Webber worked in the new styles he had discovered in Paris and soon became
recognized as a pionner of American abstract painting. An example of his work at the National
Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is a 1915 painting entitles Rush Hour, New York. Using
abstract, geometrical forms, Webber has expressed the movement, noise, and vibrancy of the
great metropolis. The picture blends elements of two European styles: cubism, which shows
objects from a number of different angles of vision at the same time, and futurism, which
portrays speed and objects in motion. Forceful lines and spiky forms throughout the composition
convey the energy and vitality of the city. Webber expresses the citys diversity by juxtaposing
forms with rounded and angular shapes to suggest specific elements of the urban landscape:
skyscrapers, flashing lights, and hurrying people.

The following text is for questions 46 to 50
The United States court system, as part of the federal system of government, is characterized by
dual hierarchies: there are both state and federal courts. Each state has its own system of courts,
composed of civil and criminal trial courts sometimes intermediate courts of appeal, and a state
supreme court. The federal court system consists of a series of trial courts (called district courts)
serving relatively small geographic regions (there is at least one for every state), a tier of circuit
courts of appeal that hear appeals from many district courts in a particular geographic region, and
the Supreme Court of the United States. The two court system are to some extent overlapping, in
that certain kinds of disputes (such as claim that a state law is in violation of the Constitution)
may be iniated in either system. They are also to some extend hierarchical, for the federal system
stands above the state system in that litigant (person engaged in lawsuit) who lose their cases in
the state supreme may appeal their cases to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Thus, the typical court case begins in a trial courta court of general jurisdiction in the state or
federal system. Most cases go no further than the trial court: for example, the criminal defendant
is convicted (by a trial or a guilty plea) and sentenced by the court and the case ends: the

personal injury suit results in a judgment by a trial court (or an out ofcourt settlement by the
parties while the court suit is pending) and the parties leave the court system. But sometimes the
losing party at the trial court cares enough about the cause that the matter does not end there. In
these cases, the loser at the trial court may appeal to the next higher court.
