It takes a long time to raise a family of owlets, so the great horned owl begins early in the year.In January and February, or as late as March in the North, the male calls to the female with a resonant hoot. The female is larger than the male. She sometimes reaches a body length of twentytwo to twenty four inches, with a wingspread up to fifty inches. To impress her, the male does a strange courtship dance, lie bobs. lie bows. He ruffled his feathers and hops around with an important air. He flutters from limb to limb and makes flying sorties into the air. Sometimes he returns with an offering of food. They share the repast, after which she joins the dance, hopping and bopping about as though keeping time to the beat of an inner drum.Owls are poor home builders. They prefer to nest in a large hollow in a tree or even to occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow. These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and bark and lined with leaves and feathers. Sometimes owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground. The mother lays two or three round, dull white eggs. Then she stoically settles herself on the nest and spreads her feather skirts about her to protect her precious charges from snow and cold.It is five weeks before the first downy white owlet pecks its way out of the shell. As the young birds feather out, they look like wise old men with their wide eyes and quizzical expressions. They clamor for food and keep the parents busy supplying mice, squirrels, rabbits, crayfish, and beetles. Later in the season baby crows are taken. Migrating songsters, waterfowl, and game birds all fall prey to the hungry family. It is nearly ten weeks before fledglings leave the nest to search for their own food. The parent birds weary of family life by November and drive the young owls away to establish hunting ranges of their own.

Question III: Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below (10 pts)

Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frames of an object, each slightly different than the preceding frame In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw the different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer will produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing This is generally referred to as computer-assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator

In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequence of pictures These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that define the objects in the pictures as they exist in mathematical space The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information Highly trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of realism involves computer techniques for three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures

High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special color terminals or frame buffers The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a single frame It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen

A camera can be used to film directly from the computer's display screen, but for the highest quality images possible, expensive film recorders are used The computer computes the positions and colors for the figures in the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film Sometimes, however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder Once this process is completed, it is repeated for the next frame When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the film must be developed before the animation can be viewed If the entire sequence does not seem right, the motions must be corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded This approach can be very expensive and time consuming Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images

A The production process

B The equipment needed

75 According to the passage, the positions and colours of the figures in high-tech animation are determined by _

C analyzing the sequence from different angles

D using computer calculations

76 The word "captures" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to

A separates B registers C describes D numbers

77 The word "Once" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to _

78 According to the passage, how do computer-animation companies often test motion?
