Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local government.
Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new
life. In the late 19th



and early 20th


century, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs.
But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of
industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who
was willing to work could find a job.

income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those
who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65,
when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund
may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st


century, when the population of elderly
Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up
the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.


In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs.
These include Medical and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food;
public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons with low incomes.


Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than government for help. A broad spectrum of private
charities and voluntary organizations is available .Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States,
especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do
volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity.

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 <b>frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory </b>
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 <b>captures it on film. </b>
Sometimes, however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder.
<b>Once </b>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
do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task
of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images.


66). What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?
A). The role of the artist C). The high cost


B). The equipment needed D). The production process


67). 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
68). The word "they" in the second paragraph refers to ______ .


A). objects B). numbers C). formulas D). databases


69). According to the passage, the frame buffers mentioned in the third paragraph are used to _____.
A). expose several frames at the same time C). create new frames


B). store individual images D). add color to the images


70). According to the passage, the positions and colors of the figures in high- tech animation are
determined by ____.


A). using computer calculations B). analyzing the sequence from different angles
C). drawing several versions D). enlarging one frame at a lime


71). The word "captures" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.


A). separates B). describes C). numbers D). registers
72). The word "Once" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.


A). after B). since C). before D). while


73). According to the passage, how do computer-animation companies often test motion?
A). They develop extensive mathematical formulas.


B). They hand-draw successive frames.


C). They experiment with computer-generated line drawings.
D). They calculate high-resolution images.


74). The word "task" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ________ .

<b>Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best option A, B, C, D from 66 to 75 </b>
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 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 <b>captures </b>it on film.
Sometimes, however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder.
<b>Once </b>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
do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task
of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images.


66). What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?

Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local government.
Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new
life. In the late 19th


and early 20th


century, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs.
But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of
industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who
was willing to work could find a job.

paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly
income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those
who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65,
when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund
may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st



century, when the population of elderly
Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up
the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.


In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs.
These include Medical and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food;
public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons with low incomes.


Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than government for help. A broad spectrum of private
charities and voluntary organizations is available .Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States,
especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do
volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity.

Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local government.
Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new


life. In the late 19th and early 20th century, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs.
But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of
industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who
was willing to work could find a job.

who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65,
when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund
may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st


century, when the population of elderly
Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up
the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.


In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs.
These include Medical and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food;
public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons with low incomes.


Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than government for help. A broad spectrum of private
charities and voluntary organizations is available .Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States,
especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do
volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity.

<b>Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best option A, B, C, D from 66 to 75 </b>
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 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 <b>frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory </b>
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 <b>captures </b>it on film.
Sometimes, however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder.
<b>Once </b>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
do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task
of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images.




66). What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?
A). The role of the artist B). The high cost


C). The production process D). The equipment needed


67). According to the passage, in computer - assisted animation the role of the computer is to draw the

A). drawing several versions B). using computer calculations

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 <b>frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory </b>
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 <b>captures </b>it on film.
Sometimes, however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder.
<b>Once </b>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
do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task
of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images.

Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of
the programs- Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deduction from the
paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly
income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those
who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65,
when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund
may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st


century, when the population of elderly
Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up
the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.


In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs.
These include Medical and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food;
public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons with low incomes.


Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than government for help. A broad spectrum of private
charities and voluntary organizations is available .Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States,
especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do
volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity.

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
