32、ve. Since earliest times, people have always been astonished by movement.

To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector (放映机). In the world o
33、f cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters do exactly what you want them to do.

34、t could do like taking off his tail, using it as a handle and then putting it back. Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Disney cartoon characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailor and his girlfriend Olive we
35、re born at Max Fleischer in 1933. But to be an animator, you dont have to be a professional (专业人士). It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all.

36、s the passage mainly discuss?A.Animal world.B.Movie camera.C.Cartoon making.D.Movement.答案:C解析 通读全篇，我们可知本文围绕卡通制作这一话题叙述。故选C。 动画片技术就是使无生命的事物活起来、动起来。 从古至今，人们一直对运动感到很惊奇，但直到这个世纪我们才设法成功地掌控了运动，成功地记录它，并在动画制作方面，将它再次诠释、再次创造出来。为了做到这些，我们使用了摄影机和放映机。 在卡通制作的世界里，没有什么是不可能的。你能使人物准确表达出你想让他们表达的东西来。 早期著名的卡通人物是菲利克斯猫，它是由帕特
37、苏利文于20世纪20年代初在美国创造的。菲利克斯是一只很神奇的猫。他能做所有普通猫不能做的动作，像摘下尾巴，把它当作把手使用，然后再把它安回去。 绝大多数伟大的早期动画制作者生活并工作在动画产业之家美国。有名的沃尔特迪斯尼卡通人物是在1928年以后诞生的。大力水手波派和他的女朋友奥利弗是于1933年由马克思弗莱舍创作出来的。 不过，要成为一名动画设计制作者，你不必是专业人士。不用摄影机就制作出一部简单的动画片对任何人来说都是可能的。你所要做的就是直接画在一卷空白胶卷上，然后拿到放映机上播放，动画片就制作好了。 2. Which of the following statement is not
38、 true?A.People were able to cause the movement to last or record it in the 21st century.B.Pat Sullivan was a famous early cartoon animator.C.It is possible to make cartoon characters do what they are designed to do.D.In ancient times people werent surprised by movement.答案:D解析 由文章内容可知，D项是错误的，远古时代的人们对
39、运动感到很惊奇。故选D。3. It can not be inferred from the passage thatA.Walt Disney cartoon characters were born earlier than Pat SullivansB.not only professionals can create cartoon charactersC.Popeye the Sailor and Olive were famous cartoonistsD.the moving picture started in the United States答案:A解析 文章并没有明确给出
40、帕特苏利文的猫的创作年份，故选A。Text 3 It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure what tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; how much interest he receive
41、s; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is. There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount. One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had
42、paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, he decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something. He was just writing another check to send to the tax collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was su
43、rprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer. 1. It is mentioned in the passage that one has to pay tax according to _.A.how much education one has rece
44、ivedB.whether one is single or marriedC.how old ones children areD.where one lives答案:B解析 由文章的第一段可知，一个人所缴税款是由很多方面决定的。whether the man is married是其中的一项。故选B。 一个人往往很难确切地知道他应该向政府交多少税。交税的金额由很多方面决定：是否已婚、孩子的多少、是否要资助亲戚、挣多少钱、能得到多少利息以及每年在房子上花费多少钱等等。所有这些方面使得税款的确切数额很难确定出来。 有个艺术家，他总是很小心地缴纳合适的税款数额。 有一年，他照例邮寄了纳税支票后，
45、却开始怀疑自己是否交足了税额。用纸笔经过一番计算后，他认为自己没有交够，还欠政府一些钱。 但是正在他写另一张缴税支票时，邮递员在他前门的邮箱里放了一封信。打开后，艺术家惊奇地发现原来是税务官寄来的5镑的支票。税务官解释说，他的税额交多了，因此，多余的税款现在要退还纳税人。 2. The underlined word proper in the second paragraph means _.A.smallB.bigC.rightD.wrong答案:C解析 “proper”的意思是“适当的，合适的”。由文章的最后两段可知，艺术家担心自己这次缴税不够，打算再次补交。所以他以前交的都是合适的。故
46、选C。3. After a lot of work, the artist thought that he had paid the government _.A.less tax than he should haveB.more tax than he should haveC.as much tax as usualD.just enough tax答案:A解析 从文章的第三段内容“He believed that he owed the government something.”可知，他认为自己仍欠政府的钱，需要缴纳的应该要比实际缴的多。故选A。4. Why did the tax collector send a letter to the artist?A.To send him a new tax form.B.To return the money over-paid.C.To remind him of paying the tax.D.To explain the rules of tax-paying.答案:B解析 由文章的最
