Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best option A, B, C, D from 66 to 75 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 theyexist 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 motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images

B) The equipment needed D) The production process

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best option A, B, C, D from 66 to 75 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 theyexist 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 motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images

C) The high cost D) The equipment needed

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best option A, B, C, D from 66 to 75 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 theyexist 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 motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images

70) According to the passage, the positions and colors of the figures in high- tech animation are determined by
A) drawing several versions B) analyzing the sequence from different angles C) enlarging one frame at a lime D) using computer calculations
71) The word "captures" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to A) numbers B) describes C) separates D) registers 72) The word "Once" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to _
