ANIMATION
The theory of the animated cartoon was introduced before the invention of the
cinema by half a century. When working to create conversation pieces for
Victorian shops, people discovered the principle of persistence of vision. If
drawings of the stages of an action were shown in fast succession, the human eye
would perceive them as a continuous movement.
One of the first commercially successful devices, invented by the Belgian Joseph
Plateau in 1832, was the phenakistoscope, a spinning cardboard disk that created
the illusion of movement when viewed in a mirror, in 1834, William Horner
invented the zoetrope, a rotating drum lined by a band of pictures. The Frenchman
Émile Reynaud in 1876 adapted the principle into a form that could be projected
before a theatrical audience. Reynaud became not only animation’s first
entrepreneur but also the first artist to give personality and warmth to his animated
characters.

buses put on films so that you have entertainment for at least some of the journey.

VI. Read the passage and decide whether the statements are True or False.
Flying cars aren’t just science fiction anymore. Terrafugia, based in the United
States, is developing a readable aircraft called the Transition. The vehicle has two
seats, four wheels and wings that fold up, so it can be driven like a car. Terrafugia
first began to work on the Transition in 2006 and has come closer than anyone to
making the flying car a reality. The company uses special tires and glass that are
lighter than normal automotive ones, which makes it easier for the vehicle to fly.
An owner needs to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to
fly the Transition. The Transition can reach around 70 miles per hour (mph) on the
road and 115 mph in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.

26. The Transition has room for four passengers.

27. Terrafugia has worked on the Transition since 2006.

V. Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the
following questions.
Wind is a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the
atmosphere by the sun. Wind flow patterns are changed by the earth’s terrain,
bodies of water, and vegetative cover. This wind flow, or motion energy, when
“harvested” by modern wind turbines, can be used to generate electricity.
Wind turbines are available in a variety of sizes, and therefore power ratings. The
largest machine has blades that span more than the length of a football field, stands
20 building stories high, and produces enough electricity to power 1,400 homes. A
small home-sized wind machine has rotors between 8 and 25 feet in diameter and
stands upwards of 30 feet and can supply the power needs of an all-electric home
or small business, utility scale turbines range in size from 50 to 750 kilowatts.
Single small turbines, below 50 kilowatts, are used for homes, telecommunications
dishes, or water pumping.
21. What is the reason for the existence of wind?
A. atmosphere heated unevenly
B. wind flow
C. motion energy
D. wind turbines
22. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor affecting the wind
direction?
A. earth’s terrain
B. bodies of water
C. vegetative cover
D. the Sun
23. What is the height of the largest wind turbines?
