题目列表(包括答案和解析)

While watching movies, it’s getting hard to tell what is and isn’t real. Thanks to computers, movie makers can now use their full imaginations. There’s even a new type of character--made entirely by computers—which is getting more and more screen time.

   Making the impossible look easy has always been a part of movie magic. As far back as 1895, filmmakers used special effects in movies. Over the years, many few techniques(技术) were developed. Then, starting in the 1970s, computers took their place at the center of the process.

   One of the first movies to widely use 3D computer generated(生成的,产生的) imagery (CGI) was Tron(1982). In the following years, more CGI characters were brought to life, one by one. Then, Jurassic park (1993) brought us an island full of man-eating dinosaurs. Shortly afterwards, Toy Story (1995) became the first cartoon made entirely with 3D CGI effects. It was a big hit, and audiences loved the characters.

   By using “motion capture” technology, filmmakers can make the movements of CGI humans even more lifelike. With this technique, a real actor wears sensors(感受器,传感器) on his face and body. The sensors record the actor’s movements and send the information to a computer. Then the movements are given to a CGI character. This technique was used to make the creature(生物,有生命的东西) Gollum in the second and third The Lord of the Rings movies (2002,2003). Other films, like Beowulf (2007), have also used motion capture to help create CGI humans.

   It is still rather easy to tell that a CGI human is not real. But the technology is improving every year. Over time, many problems ( like the teeth and eyes looking fake) will be solved. We will certainly see more CGI animals, monsters, and people in movies and TV shows. The question is – in the future, how many real actors will be put out of work by computer actors?

1.What is the main idea?

A.Tron was important in the history of CGI films.

B. Many people go to the movies to see incredible special effects.

C. More and more film characters are being made by computers.

D. All the humans in Beowulf were CGI characters.

2.In what year was a film made with many CGI dinosaurs?

   A. 1895              B. 1982                 C. 1993             D. 2003

3.What was special about Gollum?

A.Motion capture was used to help make the charater.

B. Gollum had an important role in a CGI cartoon.

C. He was the only CGI character in the Lord of the Rings.

D. Little money was spent to bring the creature to life.

4.What does the world hit mean?

   A. attack            B. shot             C. success          D. try

The ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful in another way. Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity.
“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group in Scotland. “There is certainly a lot of energy in waves.”
Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity. The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy, and it is already being used in Scotland.
Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. “The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,” Taylor said. “Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.”
When waves come towards the coast, people can set up dams(大坝) to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine(涡轮). The turbine can then power an electrical generator(发电机).
We will never run out of wave power. Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as oil and coal do.
Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface. That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world. But there are some disadvantages that need us to pay more attention to.
Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money. He said that its influence on animals in the sea is still unknown. Besides, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic.
With more research, “Many of these problems might be solved,” Taylor said. “Finding more energy sources(资源) is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day.”
In the future, when you turn on a light button, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!

【小题1】We can learn from the passage that__________________.
A.almost every country is making use of the wave power at present
B.it is necessary for us to develop wave power instead of oil and coal
C.wave power will be sure to make some bad influence on sea animals
D.scientists are making efforts to find new ways of fishing and boat traffic
【小题2】What does the fourth paragraph tell us?
A.Why scientists are doing the research on wave power.
B.What experience that scientists have achieved so far.
C.How the wave energy forms and grows bigger.
D.Which countries are trying out wave power.
【小题3】What’s the writer’s attitude towards wave power?
A.The writer believes that wave power will be used widely by man.
B.The writer doubts if wave energy can be changed into electricity.
C.The writer is sure the experiments will come to the end some day.
D.The writer thinks that wave power isn’t worth researching at all.
【小题4】What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Sea Animals and Wave Power.
B.How Do We Get Wave Energy?
C.The Advantages of Wave Power.
D.Can Waves Make Electricity?

Can you make animals work for us? Some scientists think that one day we can teach animals to do a lot of things for people. In a film shown on TV, you may see elephants, monkeys, tigers or some other animals are always given a little food to eat after they have done something. Scientists say that people can teach many different animals to do some of the easy work if they know they will get something to eat. We all know elephants can carry large logs(圆木),and dogs can look after houses. And we even teach animals to work in factories. In America, for example, people have used apes to help make cars and scientists think that those large monkeys may drive trains one day. Now people are trying to get them to do the same thing that man does.
