READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer for each question.
As computers have become powerful tools for the rapid and economic production of pictures,
computer graphics has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing fields in computer science. It is used
routinely in such diverse areas as business, industry, art, government, education, research, training, and
medicine.
One of the initial uses of computer graphics, and ultimately its greatest use, has been as an aid to
design, generally referred to as computer-aided design (CAD).One of its greatest advantages is that
designers can see how an object will look after construction and make changes freely and much more
quickly than with hand drafting. For three-dimensional rendering of machine parts, engineers now rely
heavily on CAD. Automobile, spacecraft, aerospace, and ship designers use CAD techniques to design
vehicles and test their performance. Building designs are also created with computer graphics systems.
Architects can design a building layout, create a three-dimensional model, and even go for a simulated
“walk” through the rooms or around the outside of the building.
Business graphics is another rapidly growing area of computer graphics, where it is used to create
graphs, charts, and cost models to summarize financial, statistical, mathematical, scientific, and economic
data. As an educational aid, computer graphics can be used to create weather maps and cartographic
materials. Computer art also has creative and commercial art applications, where it is used in advertising,
publishing, and film productions, particularly for computer animation, which is achieved by a sequential
process.
