19. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned vehicles, along with breakthroughs in satellite technology and computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations of divers and diving equipment for scientists doing research on the great oceans of the world. Without a vehicle, divers often became sluggish, and their mental concentration was severely limited. Because undersea pressure affects their speech organs, communication among divers has always been difficult or impossible.
20. But today, most oceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to reduce the risk to human life and make direct observations by means of instruments that are lowered into the ocean, from samples take from the water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites. Direct observations of the ocean floor can be made not only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines in the water and even by the technology of sophisticated aerial photography from vantage points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet. In addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in order to transmit data back to land- based laboratories via satellite.
21. Particularly important for ocean study are data about water temperature, currents, and weather. Satellite photographs can show the distribution of sea ice, oil slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean. Maps created from satellite pictures can represent the temperature and the color of the ocean’s surface, enabling researchers to study the ocean currents from laboratories on dry land. Furthermore, computers help oceanographers to collect, organize, and analyze information from submarines and satellites. By creating a model of the ocean’s movement and characteristics, scientists can predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the environment.
22. Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on research ships or even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly and more effectively. Some of humankind’s most serious problems, especially those concerning energy and food, may be solved with the help of observations made possible by this new technology.
23. Question 36. With what topic is the passage primarily concerned? A. Communication among drivers. B. Direct observation of the ocean floor. C. Undersea vehicles. D. Technological advances in oceanography. Question 37. The word “sluggish” is closest in meaning to ___. A. very weak B. nervous C. confused D. slow moving Question 38. This passage suggests that the successful exploration of the ocean depends upon ___. A. vehicles as well as divers B. controlling currents and the weather C. radios that divers use to communicate D. the limitations of diving equipment
24. Question 39. The word “cruise” could best be replaced by ___. A. travel at a constant speed B. function without problems C. stay in communication D. remain still Question 40. The word “data” is closest in meaing to ___. A. samples B. photographs C. information D. articles Question 41. Which of the following are NOT shown in satellite photographs? A. The location of sea ice. B. Cloud formations over the ocean. C. The temperature of the ocean’s surface. D. A model of the ocean’s movements. Question 42. The words “those” refers to ___. A. vehicles B. problems C. ships D. computers
25. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 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.
26. In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequences of pictures. These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that defines 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 from three- dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures.
27. 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 computers 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.
28. Once this process is completed, it is replaced 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.
29. 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. last frame D. entire sequences of frames Question 45: The word “they” in the second paragraph refers to ___. A. formulas B. objects C. numbers D. database
30. Question 46: 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 lime C. analyzing the sequence from different angles D. using computer calculations Question 47: The word “captures” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ___. A. separates B. registers C. describes D. numbers Question 48: The word “Once” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ___. A. before B. since C. after D. while
31. Question 49: The word “task” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ___. A. possibility B. position C. time D. job Question 50: Which of the following statement 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.
