PART FOUR. Reading Comprehension (20 pts)
Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes or best answers the following questions .
The potential of computers for increasing the control of organizations or society over their members and for invading
the privacy of those members has caused considerable concern.
The privacy issue has been raised most insistently with respect to the creation and maintenance of data files that
assemble information about persons from a multitude of sources. Files of this kind would be highly valuable for many kinds of
economic and social research, but they are bought at too high a price if they endanger human freedom or seriously enhance
the opportunities of blackmailers. While such dangers should not be ignored, it should be noted that the lack of comprehensive
data files has never before been the limiting barrier to the suppression of human freedom.
Making the computer the villain in the invasion of privacy or encroachment on civil liberties simply diverts attention
from the real dangers. Computer data banks can and must be given the highest degree of protection from abuse. But we must
65
be careful, also, that we do not employ such crude methods of protection as to deprive our society of important data it needs to
understand its own social progress and to analyze its problems.
Perhaps the most important question of all about the computer is what it has done and will do to man’s view of himself
and his place in the universe. The most heated attacks on the computer are not focused on its possible economic effects, its
presumed destruction of job satisfaction, or its threat to privacy and liberty, but upon the claim that it causes people to be
viewed, and to view themselves as “machines”.
What the computer and the progress in artificial intelligence challenge is an ethic that rests on man’s apartness from
the rest of nature. An alternative ethic, of course, views man as a part of nature, governed by natural law, subject to the forces
of gravity and the demands of his body. The debate about artificial intelligence and the simulation of man’s thinking is, in
considerable part, a confrontation of these two views of man’s place in the universe.
1. Organizations and societies use computers ______
A. to check with their members. B. to interfere in their members’ privacy.
C. to invade considerable concern. D. to keep information about their members on files.
2. Which of the following statements about computers is TRUE?
A. Computers are bought at a high price if they endanger human freedom.

Reading 1: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your sheet to indicate the
correct answer for each of the questions. (5pts)
Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. For many
thousands of years it was the one filed of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest of
insights. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we
can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be
extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other
plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for
clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the
jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them, botany
as such, has no mane and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.
Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with
plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing
amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our
Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be
harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next seasons, the first great step in a new association of
plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated
crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living form the controlled production of a few plants,
rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild – and the accumulated
knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade
away.
1. Which of the following assumptions about early hums is expressed in the passage?
A. They probably had extensive knowledge of plants. B. They divided knowledge into well-defined fields.
C. They did not enjoy the study of botany D They placed great importance on ownership of

2. The word “peculiar” is closest in meaning to __________
A. clear B. large C. unusual D. important
3. What does the comment “This is logical” mean?
A. There is no clear way to determine the extent of our ancestors’ knowledge of plants.
B. It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants.
C. It is reasonable to assume that our ancestors behaved very much like people in pre-industrial societies.
D. Human knowledge of plants is well-organized and very detailed.
4. The phrase “properties of each” refers to each _________
A. tribe B. hundred C. plant D. purpose
5. According to the passage, why has general knowledge of botany declined?
A. People no longer value plants as a useful resource.
B. Botany is not recognized as a special branch of science.
C. Research is unable to keep up with the increasing number of plants.
D. Direct contact with a variety of plants has decreased
6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning “a rose, and apple, or an orchid?”

Reading 2: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer for each of the questions (5pts)
Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frame of an object, each slightly
different than the proceeding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw the
different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer will produce
the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-assisted animation,
because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequences of
pictures. These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that defines the objects in the pictures as they
exist in mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information. Highly
trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of realism
involves computer techniques from three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures.
High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special color
terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a single
frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen.
A camera can be used to film directly from the computer’s display screen, but for the highest quality images
possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computers the positions and colors for the figures in the
picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes, however, the images are
stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process is completed, it is replaced for
the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the film must be developed before the
animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the motions must be corrected, recomputed,
redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive and time- consuming. Often, computer-
animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their
computers to the task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images.
1. What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The production procession B. The equipment needed C. The high cost D. The role of the artist
2. According to the passage, in computer-assisted animation the role of the computer is to draw the _____.
A. first frame B. middle frames C. last frame D. entire sequences of frames
3. The word “they” in the second paragraph refers to _________.
A. formulas B. objects C. numbers D. database
4. According to the passage, the “frame buffers” mentioned in the third paragraph are used to _______.
A. add color to the images B. expose several frames at the same time
C. store individual images D. create new frames
5. According to the passage, the positions and colors of the figures in high-tech animation are determined
by ______.
A. drawing several versions B. enlarging one frame at a lime
C. analyzing the sequence from different angles D. using computer calculations
6. The word “captures” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A. separates B. registers C. describes D. numbers
7. The word “Once” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A. before B. since C. after D. while
8. According to the passage, how do computer-animation companies often test motion?
A. They experiment with computer-generated line drawings. B. They hand-draw successive frames.
C. They calculate high-resolutions images. D. They develop extensive mathematical formulas.
9. The word “task” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A. possibility B. position C. time D. job
10. Which of the following statement is supported by the passage?
A. Computers have reduced the costs of animation.
B. In the future, traditional artists will no longer be needed.
C. Artists are unable to produce drawings as high in quality as computer drawings.
D. Animation involves a wide range of technical and artistic skills.
