Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and

32、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 separate images hit each eye, the brain sens

33、es them together as a three dimensional image.Although anaglyphs can create a good sense of distance, they damage the quality of the sensed color. Thats why the anaglyph 3 D content has been declining in recent years. The next type of passive 3 D involves polarized (偏振) glasses, which work similarly

34、 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 “l(fā)eft and right” and having each lens only let one of the two types of light through, these g

35、lasses can achieve a 3 D effect. This can be very effective and does not have the color problems associated 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 3 D glasses, called shutter glasses. Instead o

36、f having two slightly different images displayed at the same time and filtering one to each 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 image for the left eye, the right lens will go dar

37、k 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 shutter glasses are called an “active” 3 D technology.56. The role of 3 D glasses is to .A. ensure the separate images hit each eyeB. form a 3 D image in each eyeC. prevent

38、images from being separatedD. provide each eye with the same image57. According to the passage, anaglyph glasses .A. provide good color qualityB. make images have unnatural colorsC. block multi colored imagesD. result in a poor sense of distance58. Why are polarized glasses popular in movie theatres

39、?A. They rely on light waves to send images.B. They make full use of the colored lenses.C. They offer high quality colors.D. They can show two different images at the same time.59. According to the passage, shutter glasses .A. give people a comfortable view of the film B. make people feel themselves

40、 part of the filmC. 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 glassesC. give advice on how to choose 3 D glasses D. explain how 3 D images are formedB“Our aim

41、 is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belie, 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 morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from Walls and over gaps, and gro

42、und 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 has become popular worldwide. Yes, thats parkour, an extreme street sp

43、ort 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 around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from roof

44、top 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. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go str

45、aight, 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 everything.”Another philosophy weve learnt from parkour is freedom. It ca

49、xcitement and popularity. CFrom a very early age, some children exhibit better self-control than others .Now, a new study that began with about 1,000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a childs low self-control can predict poor health, money troubles and even a criminal record in t heir adult y

50、ears.The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin, New Zealand. “The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten, later on had the most health problems in their 30s,” Moffitt said, “and they had the wo

51、rst financial situation. They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income.” Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed, and werent just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids. Moffitt said its still uncle

52、ar why some children have better self-control than others, though she said other researchers have found that its mostly a learned behavior, with relatively little genetic influence. But good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up

53、 to be healthy and prosperous parents. But the good news, Moffitt said, is that self-control can be taught by parents, and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective. 66.
