Questions 46 - 55.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
best answer to each of the following questions.
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.

A.
The production process
B. The role of the artist

The high cost
D. The equipment needed

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.
There is a common expression in the English
language referring to a blue moon. When people say that something happens “only
once in a blue moon,” they mean that it happens only very rarely, once in a
great while. This expression has been around for at least a century and a half;
there are references to this expression that date from the second half of the
nineteenth century.
The expression “a blue moon” has come to refer to
the second full moon occurring in any given calendar month. A second full moon
is not called a blue moon because it is particularly blue or is any different in
hue from the first full moon of the month. Instead,
it is called a blue moon because it is so rare. The moon needs a little more
than 29 days to complete the cycle from full moon to full moon. Because every
month except February has more than 29 days, every month will have at least one
full moon (except February, which will have a full moon unless there is a full
moon at the very end of January and another full moon at the very beginning of
March). It is on the occasion when a given calendar month has a second full moon
that a blue moon occurs. This does not happen very often, only three or four
times in a decade.
The blue moons of today are called blue moons
because of their rarity and not because of their color; however, the expression
“blue moon” may have come into existence in reference to unusual circumstances
in which the moon actually appeared blue. Certain natural phenomena of gigantic
proportions can actually change the appearance of the moon from Earth. The
eruption of the Krakatao volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the atmosphere,
which clouded the sun and gave the moon a bluish tint. This particular
occurrence of the blue moon may have given rise to the
expression that we use today. Another example occurred more than a century
later. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, the moon again
took on a blue tint.
Question 56:
This passage is about
A.
a phase of the moon
B. a month on the calendar
