(3)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, animation companies first motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images
46 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
47 According to the passage, in computer-assisted animation the role of the computer is to draw the A first frame B middle frames C last frame D entire sequence of frames
48 The word "they" in the second paragraph refers to
A formulas B databases C numbers D objects
49 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
50 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 51 The word "captures" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to
A separates B registers C describes D numbers 52 The word "Once" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to
A before B since C after D while
53 According to the passage, how 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
54 The word "task" in the 4th paragraph is closest in meaning to
A possibility B position C time D job
55 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
(4)The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee Natural selection has acted in a variety of ways in different species to enhance the efficacy of the behaviours, known as "flight behaviours" or escape behaviours that are used by prey in fleeing predators Perhaps the most direct adaptation is enhanced light speed and agility
Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only some species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy
Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way Many species, like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic zigzag fashion Rapid unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective in the presence of predators that are faster than they are and straight light more effective against predators that are slower One observation that supports this suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded gulls, which are normally able to escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes in flight direction when they spot a peregrine falcon (peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds)
A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behaviour Here, the alarmed prey flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a startling flash of activity followed by immobility may confuse them "Flash" behaviour is used in particular by frogs and orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile In some species, "flash" behaviour is enhanced by the display of bright body markings Good examples of insects with colourful markings are the red and yellow underwing moths At rest, both species are a cryptic brown color When they fly, however, brightly coloured hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly
conspicuous Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly coloured patches or frills that may serve a 'flash" function when they move quickly Some species even appear to possess "flash" sounds The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they jump may serve to emphasize the movement
56 The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to
A encourage B resist C increase D reveal
57 The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement is
A reliable B fast C constant D unpredictable
58 It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare
A is faster than most of its predators B is capable of two kinds of flight C is more likely to escape using straight flight D is preyed upon by gulls and falcons 59 The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of
A gazelles B European hares C peregrine falcons D frogs
60 It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which of the following reasons?
A The falcons are faster than the gulls B The gulls want to capture the falcons C The falcons are unpredictable
D The gulls depend on the falcons for protection 61 The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to
A moving B selected C frightened D exhausted
62 All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of "flash" behaviour EXCEPT A brief conspicuous activity B immobility
C bright body markings D aggressive fighting
63 The phrase "in particular" is closest in meaning to
A especially B with difficulty C expertly D frequently 64 The hind wings of red and yellow underwing moths function in a way that is most similar to
A the hind wings of peregrine falcons B the zigzag flight of European hares C the colored patches on frogs D the clicking of grasshoppers 65 Why does the author mention "grasshopper" in the last line?
A To contrast animals that "flash" with animals that "freeze".
B As an example of an animal whose "flash" behaviour is a sound C To compare the jumping behaviour of insects and reptiles
