<i><b>Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the </b></i>

<i><b>correct answer to each of the questions. </b></i>

Buying a house is the single largest financial investment an individual makes. Yet, in India this act is

fraught with risk and individuals depend on weak laws for justice. Occasionally, deviant promoters are

called to account as was the case in the detention of Unitech's promoters. This incident shows up the

fallout of an absence of proper regulation to cover contracts between buyers and real estate promoters.

A real estate bill, which is presently pending in Rajya Sabha, seeks to fill this gap. It has been debated

for over two years and should be passed by Parliament in the budget session.

India is in the midst of rapid urbanization and urban population is expected to more than double to

about 900 million over the next three decades. Unfortunately, even the current population does not

have adequate housing. A government estimate in 2012 put the shortage at nearly 19 million units. If

<i><b>this shortage is to be alleviated quickly, India's messy real estate sector needs reforms. </b></i>

The real estate bill seeks to set standards for contracts between buyers and sellers. Transparency, a

rare commodity in real estate, is enforced as promoters have to upload project details on the regulators'

website. Importantly, standard definitions of terms mean that buyers will not feel cheated after taking

<i><b>possession of a house. In order to protect buyers who pay upfront, a part of the money collected for a </b></i>

real estate project is ring-fenced in a separate bank account. Also, given the uncertainty, which exists

in India on land titles, the real estate bill provides title insurance. This bill has been scrutinized by two

parliamentary committees and its passage now brooks no delay.

This bill is an important step in cleaning up the real estate market, but the journey should not end with

it. State governments play a significant role in real estate and they are often the source of problems.

Some estimates suggest that real estate developers have to seek approvals of as many as 40 central

<i><b>and state departments, which lead to delays and an escalation in the cost of houses. Sensibly, NDA </b></i>

government's project to provide universal urban housing forces states to institute reforms to access

central funding. Without real estate reforms at the level of States, it will not be possible to meet the

ambition of making housing accessible for all urban dwellers.

36. According to the passage, which of the following is the pending in Rajya Sabha?

A. NDA government's new scheme B. Universal rural housing programme

C. Real estate bill

D. Universal urban housing programme

37. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Current population does not have adequate housing in India.

B. India's real estate sector needs reforms.

C. Real state bill has been scrutinized by two parliamentary committees.

D. Urban population is expected to more than double to about 850 million over the next three

decades.

38. According to the passage, what is the source of problem in real estate?

A. Buyers and sellers

B. Central governments

C. Market money makers

D. State governments

Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frame of an object, each slightly

different than the proceeding 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.

<i>Code 127/ 4 </i>

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

<i><b>special color terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory </b></i>

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 computers the positions and

<i><b>colors for the figures in the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on </b></i>

film. Sometimes, however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the

<i>recorder. Once this process is completed, it is replaced for the next frame. When the entire sequence </i>

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

<i>computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images. </i>

Question 43: What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The production procession

B. The equipment needed

C. The high cost

D. The role of the artist

Question 44: According to the passage, in computer-assisted animation the role of the computer is to

draw the _________.

A. first frame

B. middle frames

C. entire sequences of frames D. last frame

Question 45: The word “they” in the second paragraph refers to _________.

A. formulas

B. objects

<b>C. numbers D. database </b>

<i><b>Question 46: According to the passage, the frame buffers mentioned in the third paragraph are used </b></i>

to _________.

A. add color to the images

B. expose several frames at the same time

C. store individual images

D. create new frames

Question 47: According to the passage, the positions and colors of the figures in high-tech animation

are determined by _________.

A. drawing several versions

B. enlarging one frame at a time

C. analyzing the sequence from different angles

D. using computer calculations

Question 48: The word “captures” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.

A. separates B. registers

C. describes D. numbers

<i>Question 49: According to the passage, how do computer-animation companies often test motion? </i>

A. They experiment with computer-generated line drawings.

B. They hand-draw successive frames.

C. They calculate high-resolutions images.

D. They develop extensive mathematical formulas.

Question 50: 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.
