Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them
32、there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AAll 3 D glasses have the same purpose: to bring different images to each eye. 3 D content has two sets of images, one for each eye, that are slightly offset (偏移). When the se
33、parate images hit each eye, the brain senses them together as a three dimensional image. Al though anaglyphs can create a good sense of distance, they damage the quality of the sensed color. Thats why the anaglyp h 3 D content has been declining in recent years. The next type of passive 3 D involves
34、 polarized (偏振) glasses, which work similarly to anaglyphs. Instead of using colored lenses, the lenses are polarized, meaning they only let certain light through.By displaying one image that is polarized “up and down”, another image that is polarized “left and right” and having each lens only let o
35、ne of the two types of light through, these glasses can achieve a 3 D effect. This can be very effective and does not have the color problems associa ted with anaglyphs. For this reason, polarized 3 D glasses are the technology of chose for most 3 D content in movie theaters.The most recent type of
36、3 D glasses, called shutter glasses. Instead of having two slightly different images displayed at the same time and filtering one to eac h eye, shutter glasses make each lens go dark and then transparent again at the same time with the images displayed on the screen. When the screen displays the ima
37、ge for the left eye, the right lens will go dark so that only the left eye can see it. Then, when the image for the right eye is displayed, the opposite happens. This is why shu tter glasses are called an “active” 3 D technology.56. The role of 3 D glasses is to . A. ensure the separate images hit e
38、ach eye B. form a 3 D image in each eye C. prevent images from being separated D. provide each eye with the same image57. According to the passage, anaglyph glasses . A. provide good color quality B. make images have unnatural colors C. block multi colored images D. result in a poor sense of distanc
39、e58. Why are polarized glasses popular in movie theatres? A. They rely on light waves to send images. B. They make full use of the colored lenses. C. They offer high quali ty colors. D. They can show two different images at the same time.59. According to the passage, shutter glasses . A. give people
40、 a comfortable view of the film B. make people feel themselves part of the film C. make people watch the image with only one eye D. blank peoples view one at a time60. The purpose of the passage is to . A. introduce three kinds of 3 D glasses B. advertise 3 D shutter glasses C. give advice on how to
41、 choose 3 D glasses D. explain how 3 D images are formedB “Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people underst and what it is to move,” said David Be lie, the founder of parkour(跑酷). Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morni
42、ng jog a creative one? Like jumping from Walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royaler Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bonds wonderful performances that the sport h
43、as become popular worldwide. Yes, thats parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash ar ound a
44、 city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop. Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that. Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy （理念） behind parkour.
45、 This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do eve
46、rything.” Another philosophy weve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at anytime, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence. 61. Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of_. A. its founder, David Belle B. the varieties of participants C. its risks and tricks D. the film Casino Royale62. The underlined word obstacles in Paragraph
