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 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
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 _
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

B) Animation involves a wide range of technical and artistic skills

D) Artists are unable to produce drawings as high in quality as computer drawings

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

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
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
Trang 17paychecks 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 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
