Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
As computers have become powerful tools for rapid and economic production of picture, computer
graphics has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing fields in computers science. It is used routinely
in such diverse areas as business, industry, art, government, research, training, and medicine.
One of the initial uses of computer graphics, and ultimately its greatest use, has been as an aid to
design, generally referred to as computer – aided design (CAD). One of its greatest advantages is that
designers can see how an object will look after construction and make changes freely and much more
quickly than with hand drafting. For three-dimensional rendering of machine parts, engineers rely heavily
on CAD. Automobile, spacecraft, aerospace, and ship designers use CAD technique to design vehicles
and test their performance. Building designs are also created with computer graphics systems.
Architects can design a building layout, create a three-dimensional model, and even go for a simulated
“walk” through the rooms or around the outside of the building.
Business graphics is another rapidly growing area of computer graphics, where it is used to create
graphs, charts, and cost models to summarize financial, statistical, mathematical, scientific, and
economic data. As an educational aid, computer graphics can be used to create weather maps and
cartographic materials. Computer art also has creative and commercial art applications, where it is used
in advertising, publishing and film production, particularly for computer animation, which is achieved by a
sequential process.
Question 31: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Computers as the architects of the future
B. Computer graphic applications
C. The rapidly growing field of computer science
D. Routine uses of computers
