special effects?Do you enjoy movies that use a lot of specialeffects?Dinosaurs from the distant past!Space battles from the distant future!There has been a revolution in special effects,and it has transformed themovies we see.The revolution began in the mid-1970s with George Lucas 1s Star Wars,afilm that stunned（使震惊）audiences.That revolution continues to the present,with dramatic changes in special-effects technology.The company behind thesechanges is Lucas1s Industrial Light&Magic（工LM）.And the man behind thecompany is Dennis Murenz who has worked with Lucas since Star Wars.Muren*s interest in special effects began very early.At age 6 z he wasphotographing toy dinosaurs and spaceships.By 10,he had an 8-millimetermovie camera and was making these things move through stop-motion.（Stop-motionis a process in which objects are shot with a camera,moved slightly,shotagain,and so on.When the shots are put together,the objects appear to move.）Talk to Muren and you 111 understand what 工LM is all about：taking on newchallenges.By 1989z Muren decided he had pushed the old technology as faras it would go.He saw computer graphics（CG.technology as the wave of the future andtook a year off to master it.With CG technology,images can be scanned into a computer for processing,for example,and many separate shots can be combined into a single image.CG technology has now reached the pointz Muren says,where special effectscan be used to do just about anything so that movies can tell stories betterthan ever before.The huge success of Jurassic Park and its sequel z The LostWorld,the stars of which were computer-generated dinosaurs,suggests thatthis may very well be true.16、The special-effects revolution began in the mid-1980s with Star Wars.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned17 ILM is the company responsible for many of the changes in special effects.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned18、Dennis Muren started schooling at a very early age.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not

past,although a few clearly a r e.I t1 s a function of excessdemand for higher education occurring at a time of increased financialprivatization of the industry.The recession has only increased demand.The vast majority of studentsaren*t going to college because of a thirst for knowledge,or even for thecultural and social adventure they hope to have.They1 re there because theyneed a job,and they need to get the credentialsandz one hopes the knowledgeand skills behind the credentials that will get them into the labor market.As higher education has become a seller1s market,the institutions in aposition to do so are doing what comes naturally：raising their tuitions andtheir admissions requirementsz but at the expense of contributing to thenational goal to increase college attainment.The result is that the UnitedStates is losing ground in the international race for educational talent,because although we have some of the best institutions in the world,the wholeis less than the sum of its parts.The increasing stratification of higher education is happening on thespending side,as well.As the selective institutions have become more expensiveand less attainable,the rest have had to struggle with the responsibilityto enroll more students without being paid to do s o.Gaps between rich andpoor have grown even more dramatically than gaps in entering test scores.While spending is a poor measure of educational quality,we c a n11 seriouslyexpect to increase educational attainment if we 1 re not prepared to do somethingto address these growing inequities in funding.That said,the educational policy problem in our country is not that theelite restitutions are becoming more selective.They are what they are,andthey*re getting more like themselves all the time.The problem is on the publicpolicy side.The president and many governors have set a goal to return Americato a position of international leadership in educational attainment.It*s the right goal z we just need a financing strategy to get there.Thatdoesn1t mean just more money,although some more money will be needed.Italso means better attention to effectiveness and to efficiency,and to makingsure that spending goes to the places that will make a difference in educationalattainment.We know how to do it,if we want t o.31、The demand for higher education has increased because.A.the number of students keeps growingB.there is a boost in the labor marketC.of the rising college selectivityD.of the economic depression32、According to most students,what is the most essential condition thatenables them to get into the labor market?A.Diplomas.B.Being employed.C.Going to college.D.Knowledge and skills.33 Since higher education has become a seller1s marketz the national goalto increase college attainment.A.will be fulfilled in a short timeB.will be difficult to achieveC.will draw more public concernD.will demand more financial input34、As it is mentioned in the fourth paragraph,gaps have grown dramaticallybetween.A.the talented students and the slow onesB.the advanced countries and the othersC.the selective institutions and the restD.the rich families and the poor ones35、What does the author think should be modified?A.The selectivity of elite institutions.B.The industrialization of education.C.The goal of education attainment.D.The government*s funding strategy.弟 一 mWhy So Risky in Chemical FactoriesWhich is safer staying at homez traveling to work on public transportzor working in the office?Surprisingly,each of these carries the same risk,which is very low.However,what about flying compared to working in the chemicalindustry?Unfortunately,the former is 65 times riskier than the latter!Infact,the accident rate of workers in the chemical industry is less than thatof almost any of human activity,and almost as safe as staying at home.The trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong theyoften cause death to those living nearby.It is this which makes chemicalaccidents so newsworthy.Fortunately,they are extremely rare.The most famousones happened at Texas City 36,Flixborough 37 z Seveso 38,Pemex 39 and Bhopal39.Some of these are always in the minds of the people even though the lossof life was small.No one died at Seveso,and only 28 workers at Flixborough.The worst accident of all was Bhopal,where up to 3,000 were killed.The TexasCity explosion of fertilizer killed 552.The Pemex fire at a storage plantfor natural gas in the suburbs of Mexico City took 542 livesz just a monthbefore the unfortunate event at Bhopal.Some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident toillustrate a particular danger.Thus the Texas City explosion was caused bytons of ammonium nitrate（石肖酸镂）,which is safe unless stored in great quantity.The Flixborough fireball was the fault of management,which took risks tokeep production going during essential repairs.The Seveso accident showswhat happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on theirdoorstep.When the poisonous gas drifted over the town,local leaders wereincapable of taking effective action.The Pemex fire was made worse by anoverloaded site in an overcrowded suburb.The fire set off a chain reactionof exploding storage tanks.Yet z by a miraclez the two largest tanks did notexplode.Had these caught fire,then 3 z 000 strong rescue team and fire fighterswould all have died.36、Which of the following statements is true?A.Working at the office is safer than staying at home.B.Traveling to work on public transport is safer than working at the office.C.Staying at home is safer than working in the chemical industry.D.Working in the chemical industry is safer than traveling by air.37、Chemical accidents are usually important enough to be reported as newsbecause.A.they are very rareB.they often cause loss of lifeC.they always occur in big citiesD.they arouse the interest of all the readers38、According to the passage,the chemical accident that caused by the faultof management happened at.A.FlixboroughB.Texas cityC.SevesoD.Mexico City39、From the passage we know that ammonium nitrate is a kind of.A.natural gasz which can easily catch fireB.fertilizer,which can*t be stored in a great quantityC.poisonous substance,which can*t be used in overcrowded areasD.fuelz which is stored in large tanks40、From the discussion among some experts we may conclude that.A.to avoid any accidents we should not repair the facilities in chemicalindustryB.the local authorities should not be concerned with the production ofthe chemical industryC.all these accidents could have been avoided or controlled if effectivemeasures had been takenD.natural gas stored in very large tanks is always safe尔-./T OStage FrightFall down as you come onstage.That1 s an odd trick.Not recommended.Butit saved the pianist Vladimir Feltsman when he was a teenager back in Moscow.The veteran cellist Mstislav Rostropovich tripped him purposely to cure himof pre-perf ormance panic.M r.Feltsman said,All my fright was gone.I alreadyfell.What else could happen?nToday,music schools are addressing the problem of anxiety in classes thatdeal with performance techniques and career preparation.There are a varietyof strategies that musicians can learn to fight stage fright and its symptoms：icy fingers,shaky limbs,racing heart,blank mind.Teachers and psychologists offer wide-ranging advice,from basics likelearning pieces inside out,to mental discipline,such as visualizing aperformance and taking steps to relax.D o n11 deny that y o u1 re j ittery,theyurge；some excitement is naturalz even necessary for dynamic playing.Andplay in public often,simply for the experience.Psychotherapist Diane Nichols suggests some strategies for the momentsbefore performance.HTake two deep abdominal breaths,open up your shoulders,then smile,H she says.And not one of these 1 please don*t kill me 1 smiles.Then choose three friendly faces in the audience,people
