In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequence ofpictures

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 highdegrees of realism involves computer techniques for three-dimensional transformation, shading, andcurvatures

High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with specialcolor terminals or frame buffers The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory forviewing 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 qualityimages 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 entiresequence 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

Question 35 What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?

A The production process B The equipment needed

C The high cost D The role of the artist

Question 36 According to the passage, in computer-assisted animation the role of the computer is to draw the

C last frame D entire sequence of frames

Question 37 The word "they" in the second paragraph refers to

A formulas B databases C numbers D objects

Question 38 According to the passage, the frame buffers mentioned in the third paragraph are used to

A add color to the images B expose several frames at the same time

C store individual images D create new frames

Question 39 According to the passage, the positions and colours of the figures in high-tech animation are determined by

A drawing several versions

B enlarging one frame at a lime

C analyzing the sequence from different angles

D using computer calculations

Question 40 The word "captures" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to

A separates B registers C describes D numbers

Question 41 The word "Once" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to

Question 42 According to the passage,how do computer-animation companies often test motion?

A They experiment with computer-generated line drawings

B They hand-draw successive frames

C They calculate high-resolution images

D They develop extensive mathematical formulas

Question 43 The word "task" in the 4th paragraph is closest in meaning to

A possibility B position C time D job

Question 44 Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?

A Computers have reduced the costs of animation

B In the future, traditional artists will no longer be needed

C Artists are unable to produce drawings as high in quality as computer drawings

D Animation involves a wide range of technical and artistic skills

to buy high-quality products When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away andbuy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy For example, if a customer buys a high-qualityappliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message In the same way, if

a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to themanufacturers To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop

The second step is to reuse It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles After

customers, empty the bottles, they return them to the store The manufacturers of the drinks collect thebottles, wash them, and then fill them again The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved In

some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice In those places, the garbage

dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles

The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle Spent motor oil can be cleaned and

Ancient people made clay pottery because they needed it for their survival They used the pots theymade for cooking, storing food, and carrying things from place to place Pottery was so important to early

cultures that scientists now study it to learn more about ancient civilizations The more advanced the

pottery in terms of decoration, materials, glazes and manufacture, the more advanced the culture itself

The artisan who makes pottery in North America today utilizes his or her skill and imagination to

create items that are beautiful as well as functional, transforming something ordinary into something

special and unique

The potter uses one of the Earth's most basic materials, clay Clay can be found almost

everywhere Good pottery clay must be free from all small stones and other hard materials that wouldmake the potting process difficult Most North American artisan-potters now purchase commerciallyprocessed clay, but some find the clay they need right in the earth, close to where they work

The most important tools potters use are their own hand; however, they also use wire loop tools,wooden modeling tools, plain wire, and sponges Plain wire is used to cut away the finished pot from itsbase on the potter's wheel

After a finished pot is dried of all its moisture in the open air, it is placed in a kiln and fired Thefirst firing hardens the pottery, and it is then ready to be glazed and fired again For areas where they donot want any glaze, such as the bottom of the pot, artisans paint on melted wax that will later burn off inthe kiln They then pour on the liquid glaze and let it run over the clay surface, making any kind of

decorative pattern that they want.

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 question s from 55 to 64

The Moon has been worshipped by primitive peoples and has inspired humans to create everythingfrom lunar calendars to love sonnets, but what do we really know about it? The most accepted theory

about the origin of the Moon is that it was formed of the debris from a massive collision with the young

Earth about 4.6 billion years ago A huge body, perhaps the size of Mars, struck the Earth, throwing out an

immense amount of debris that coalesced and cooled in orbit around the Earth.

The development of Earth is inextricably linked to the moon; the Moon's gravitational influenceupon the Earth is the primary cause of ocean tides In fact, the Moon has more than twice the effect uponthe tides than the Sun does The Moon makes one rotation and completes a revolution around the Earth

every 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes This synchronous rotation is caused by an uneven distribution of

mass in the Moon (essentially, it is heavier on one side than the other) and has allowed the Earth's gravity

to keep one side of the Moon permanently facing Earth It is an average distance from Earth of 384,403km

The Moon has no atmosphere; without an atmosphere, the Moon has nothing to protect it from

meteorite impacts, and thus the surface of the Moon is covered with impact craters, both large and small.

The Moon also has no active tectonic or volcanic activity, so the erosive effects of atmospheric

weathering, tectonic shifts, and volcanic upheavals that tend to erase and reform the Earth's surface

features are not at work on the Moon In fact, even tiny surface features such as the footprint left by anastronaut in the lunar soil are likely to last for millions of years, unless obliterated by a chance meteoritestrike The surface gravity of the Moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth's Therefore, a man weighing

82 kilograms on Earth would only weigh 14 kilograms on the Moon

The geographical features of the Earth most like that of the Moon are, in fact, places such as theHawaiian volcanic craters and the huge meteor crater in Arizona The climate of the Moon is very unlikeeither Hawaii or Arizona, however; in fact the temperature on the Moon ranges between 123 degrees C to-233 degrees C

55 The word "uneven" is closest in meaning to _.

A equally distributed B orderly C heavier D not uniform

56 A person on the Moon would weigh less than on the Earth because _.

A the Moon has no active tectonic or volcanic activity

B the surface gravity of the Moon is less

C of the composition of lunar soil D the Moon has no atmosphere

57 According to the passage, the Moon is _.

A protected by a dense atmosphere B composed of a few active volcanoes

C older than the Earth D the primary cause of Earth's ocean tides

58 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A The Moon is not able to support human life.

B People living in Hawaii and Arizona would feel at home on the Moon.

C If the Moon had no gravitational influence, the Earth would not have tides.

D Mars could have been formed in a similar way to the Moon.

59 The word "erase" is closest in meaning to _.

60 All of the following are true about the Moon EXCEPT _.

A it has a wide range of temperatures

B it is unable to protect itself from meteorite attacks

C it has less effect upon the tides than the Sun

D it is heavier on one side than the other

61 The word "massive" is closest in meaning to _.

62 The word "debris" is closest in meaning to _.

63 Why does the author mention "impact craters"?

A to show the result of the Moon not having an atmosphere.

B to explain the corrosive effects of atmospheric weathering.

C to explain why the Moon has no plant life because of meteorites.

D to show the result of the Moon not having active tectonic or volcanic activity.

64 What is the passage primarily about?

A the Moon's effect upon the Earth B a comparison of the Moon and the Earth.

C the origin of the Moon.

D what we know about the Moon and its differences to Earth

A friend is very important to everyone.In fact,it’s impossible to live without friends.In my

opinion,there are three basic qualities that lay the firm foundation for friendship.Firstly,mutual help.A good friend is always ready to give us a hand in any situations.A friend in need is a friend indeed.We shouldn’t be too deliberate in helping.Secondly,mutual confidence.Friends must feel safe when telling each other the most secrets.Obviously,liars and talkative people can never have good

friends.Thirdly,talking about true friendship,I can’t help mentioning the faithfulness and sharing.A true friend is the one who will cheer to our happiness and share our sorrows in adversity.In short,the value of friendship is that gives us a source of happiness and comforts our sufferings and a true friendship will be forever although we are rich or poor.

A fold culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals

Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal relationships are strong Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties

may differ between the sexes Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo-America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies till serve as a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles

The Amish’s central religious concept of Demut, “humility”, clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order

By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and constantly changing Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists, leading to the establishment of many specialized professions Secular institutions, of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails Because of these contrasts, “popular” may be viewed as clearly different from “folk”

The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner Question 6: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A They value folk cultures B They have no social classes

C They have popular cultures D They do not value individualism

Question 10: The phrase “largely renounces” is closest in meaning to _

A generally rejects B greatly modifies C loudly declares D often criticizes

Question 11: What is the main source of order in Amish society?

A The government B The economy C The clan structure D The religion

Question 12: Which of the following statements about Amish beliefs does the passage support?

In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose.

Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years In wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in influencing people in Europe and the United States Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write Such cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented

in the form of cartoons The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way.

In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons This is not their primary aim In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters, Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible among the people.

Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge They offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular country in which they live Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture.

Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to the East and not vice versa By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West.

Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture is worth a thousand words.”

Question 35: Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons?

A Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness B Seriousness, propaganda, and attractiveness.

C Humour, unexpectedness, and criticism D Originality, freshness, and astonishment.

Question 36: Chinese cartoons have been useful as an important means of _.

C amusing people all the time D political propaganda in wartime

A bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people in the world

Question 42: The word “imbalance” in paragraph 6 refers to _ .

A the mismatch between the East cartoons and the West cartoons

B the dominant cultural influence of the West over the East

C the influence of the East cartoons over the West cartoons

D the discrimination between the West culture and the East culture

Question 43: Which of the following is most likely the traditional subject of Chinese cartoons?

A Jokes and other kinds of humour in political and social matters.

B The philosophies and sayings of ancient Chinese thinkers.

C The illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China.

D The stories and features of the lives of great men the world over.

Question 44: According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A Western cartoons always have a serious purpose B Language barriers restricted cartoons.

C Cartoons will replace other forms of writing D Cartoons can serve various purposes.

Choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the underlined part that needs correction.

the city council.

Question 49: He has recently been offered a great job working as an electric engineer for that
