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 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 do 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

D. Animation involves a wide range of technical and artistic skills. Questions 56 - 65. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. 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?

In the very distant geological past all animals were aquatic. The very first vertebrates, or animals with backbones, of which we have any fossil record, lived in the water. These vertebrates, the fish, were adapted to underwater living. Their streamlined bodies were covered with scales to reduce surface friction: they had muscular tails so that they could swim swiftly in such a dense medium as water; and they were endowed with gills for breathing underwater.Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and accommodated themselves to life on land. As amphibians, they possessed limbs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills. But they never became completely free of the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the water to lay their eggs.Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types of land dwellers appeared; these animals gave rise to the present-day reptiles and mammals. They were more completely converted for land dwelling, with bodies and biological activities far different from those of fish. With these special adaptations, mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadows, the deserts and high mountains, often far removed from the sea.61.

The usual course of studies at American universities emphasized classical and humanistic courses, classical languages, mathematics, ethics and rhetoric; and each institution prescribed a rigid program of required courses. Under Eliot’s leadership, Harvard dropped most of its required courses in favour of an elective system and increased its course offerings to stress the physical and social sciences, the fine arts and modern languages. Soon other institutes in all sections of the country were following Harvard’s lead. Eliot was also influential in bringing about important reforms in professional education. He renovated the Harvard medical and law schools, raising the requirements and lengthening the residence period, and again the Harvard model affected the other schools. Improved technical training in other professions accompanied the advances in medicine and law. Both state and private universities hastened to establish schools of architecture, engineering, education, journalism and business.Although Harvard was one of the first universities to found a graduate school, the recognized center for graduate study, based on the German system with the highest award, was John Hopkins.51. What did Charles Eliot do at Harvard?A. He started studies under a rigid program.B. He introduced modern studies.C. He removed all classical studies.D.
