READING
I. Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
ANIMATION
The theory of the animated cartoon was introduced before the invention of the
cinema by half a century. When working to create conversation pieces for Victorian
shops, people discovered the principle of persistence of vision. If drawings of the
stages of an action were shown in fast succession, the human eye would perceive them
as a continuous movement.
One of the first commercially successful devices, invented by the Belgian Joseph
Plateau in 1832, was the phenakistoscope, a spinning cardboard disk that created the
illusion of movement when viewed in a mirror, in 1834, William Horner invented the
zoetrope, a rotating drum lined by a band of pictures. The Frenchman Émile Reynaud
in 1876 adapted the principle into a form that could be projected before a theatrical
audience. Reynaud became not only animation’s first entrepreneur but also the first
artist to give personality and warmth to his animated characters.

I. Read the following passage and decide whether each of the statements is true
(T) or false (F).
Ten-day Chinese Traffic Jam
Motorists in China are experiencing a traffic jam from hell. Thousands of drivers
have been stuck in their cars for ten days on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway just outside
the Chinese capital. The gridlock started on August 14th when roadworks began. The
bad news is that the chaos will continue for another month. The tailbacks stretch back
for 100km. The situation has been made worse by dozens of cars breaking down or
overheating. Around 400 traffic police have been assigned to patrol the jam to make
sure tensions don’t rise too far. The horrendous snarl-up is the result of the explosion
in the number of cars on Chinese roads. As China becomes wealthier, more people are
buying cars, thus causing more traffic problems.
Drivers trapped in the traffic jam know they have to be patient and sit for long hours
in their cars. There are no showers for them to use and if they need to use a toilet, they
have to lock their car and wander off to the nearest café. There are many complaints of
local people taking advantage of the stranded motorists by charging them more than
double prices for drinks and snacks. People are keeping themselves busy by playing
cards or board games. Some have reported feeling homesick. One truck driver Juang
Shao expressed his frustration over the situation: “I’ve missed my daughter’s birthday
and the food in my truck has probably turned into soup,” he said. He said he was
worried his truck could be stuck in the traffic forever.

II. Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to complete the
sentences.
To accomplish a three-dimensional or 3D effect in a movie, two steps are
necessary. First, the movie needs to be shot in a special way. Then, the movie needs to
be viewed in a special way.
To shoot a 3D movie, it is necessary to use two cameras at the same time. This is
different from a regular movie, which is shot with only one camera. The two cameras
are placed next to each other. The placement of the cameras imitates how two eyes see
one scene from a different perspective. The same picture is shot by each of the cameras
at the same time, but each of the cameras films the scene from a different angle
because of the position of the cameras.
When you go to the cinema to view a 3D, you must wear special glasses to get
the three-dimensional effect. Your left eye sees the film shot with the left camera, and
your right eye sees the film shot with the right camera. If you try to watch the movie
without the special glasses, it will seem like you have double vision.
36. To shoot a 3D movie, it is necessary ______ two cameras at the same time.
A. use B. using C. to using D. to use
37. Shooting a 3D movie is different from a regular movie, ______ is shot with only one
camera.
A. when B. which C. what D. why
