| 第1、2、3、4、5题：Animation means making things which are lifeless come alive and move. From earlist times, people have always been facinated by movement, But not until this century have we managed to capture movement, to record it, and in the case of animation, to reinterpret it and recreate it. To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector. In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters you create do exactly what you want them. A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in American in the early ninrteen twenties. Fedix was a marvellous cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as a handle and then putting it back. Most of the great early animatiors lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Dianey cartoon characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailorman and his girl friend Olive Oyl were born at the Max Fleischer studios in 1933. But to be an animator, you don't have to ba a professional. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is draw directly on to blank film and then run the film through a projector. 31. What's the main topic of the passage? A. American history. B. Cartoon making. C. Movement. D. Cartoon character. 32. Felix the Cat can do many things to it's tail except ______. A. taking it off B. putting it back C. eating it up D. using it as a handle 33. According to the passage, Felix the cat ______. A. was created by the American cartoonist Felix. B. was created in the United States in the ninrteenth century. C. was designed by Pat Sullivan in the early twentieth century.D. was unable to do what natural cats could not do 34. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. A. only professional can create cartoon characters B. Walt Disney cartoon characters were born earlier than Pat Sullivan's C. animation means making things lifeless D. the cartoon industry started in the United States 35. Which of the following statements best describes the author's attitude towards cartoon making? A. It's interesting but hard to do. B. We need professional to instruct us. C. It takes a lot of time to draw on to blank films. D. It's an easy job. Everyone can do it. |

| 第9、10、11、12、13题：Television was not invented by any one person. Nor did it spring into being overnight. It evolved gradually, over a long period, from the ideas of many people -- each one building on the work of their predecessors. The process began in 1873, when it was accidentally discovered that the electrical resistance of the element selenium varied in proportion to the intensity of the light shining on it. Scientists quickly recognized that this provided a way of transforming light variations into electrical signals. Almost immediately a number of schemes were proposed for sending pictures by wire(it was, of course, before radio). One of the earliest of these schemes was patterned on the human eye. Suggested by G. R. Carey in 1875, it envisioned a mosaic of selenium calls on which the picture to be transmitted would be focused by a lens system. At the receiving end there would be a similarly arranged mosaic made up of electric lights. Each selenium cell would be connected by an individual wire to the similarly placed light in the receiving mosaic. Light falling on the selenium cell would reproduce the original picture, had the necessary amplifiers and the right kind of lights been availablr, this system would have workrd. But it also would have required an imoractical number of connecting wires. Carey recognized this and in a second proposed to “scan” the cells-transmitting the signal from each cell to its associated light, in turn, over a single wire. If this were done fast enough, the retentive power of the eye would cause the resultant image to be seen as a complete picture. 41. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Television in the Electronic Era B. First Steps in the Invention of Television C. The Art of Television D. Harmful Effects of Television Viewing 42. In line 1, the word “being” could best be replaced by _____. A. place B. creature C. subsistence D. existence 43. An important discovery in earlyteleviosion was the electrical resistance of _____. A. mosaics B. the human eye C. lenses D. the element selenium 44. In 1875, Carey suggested that the human eye envisioned a mosaic of selenium cells on which the picture to be transmitted would be focused by ______. A. wire B. electric lights C. a lens system D. amplifiers 45. Following are the reasons why the first scheme for television was abandoned except _____. A. he lacks an effective assistant B. the necessary amplifers were unavailable C. the proper lights were unavailable D. the number of connecting wires is impractical |

| 第17、18、19、20、21题：Culture is the sum total of all the tradition, customs, beliefs, and ways to life of a given group of human being. In this sense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us. To the professional anthropologists, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional ;linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages. People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage, undeveloped forms of speech, consisted largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact establish by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers the description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind our western language not in their sound patterns or grammatical structure, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this department, However, two things are to be noted: 1. All languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. 2. The objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in "backward" languages, while different from ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A western language distinguished merely between two degrees of remoteness ("this" and "that"); some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or removed from both, or but of sight, or in the past, or in the future. This study of language, in turn casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy. 46. The language of uncivilized groups as compared to western language are limited in _______. A. vocabularies B. grammatical structures C. sound patterns D. both A and B 47. The statement that "every group has a culture" grows out of the author's ______. A. definition of culture B. philosophy C. feeling about human beings D. bias in regard to civilized human 48. According to the author, anthropologists would have all culture viewed _____. A. comparatively B. independently C. intrinsically D. hierarchically 49. According to the author, language whether "civilized or not" have ____. A. the potential for expanding vocabulary b. the potential for increasing sound patterns C. the same way to transfer ideas D. the same grammatical structures 50. Implied but not stated: ______. A. the study of language is the same as the study of anthropology B. the study of language has reinforced anthropologists in their view that there is no hierarchy cultures C. the study of languages discredited the anthropological studies D. the study of language casts a new light upon the claims of anthropologists |
