The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.60 Have you ever seen a movie in which
42、a building was burned down or a bridge was destroyed? Have you seen films in which a train crashed or a ship sank into the ocean? If so, you may have wondered how these things could happen without harming the people in the film.The person who knows the answer is the “special-effects“ person. He has
43、one of the most important jobs in the film industry.In a scene for one movie there was a big glass bowl filled with the water in which small fish were swimming.

44、ish to stop staring and swim away. This was quite a challenge, since fish generally cant be forced to do anything.The special-effects person thought about this problem for a long time. The result was an idea for controlling the fish using of electricity. First he applied electricity to the fish bowl
45、, causing the fish to be absolutely still. Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity, allowing the fish to swim away. Thus, he got the humorous effect that the director wanted without harming the fish.As in other parts of movie making, there are people who have developed particular skill in

As it sailed along at a speed of seven sea miles an hour in the Pacific Ocean, it seemed so real that a United States military airplane flew down near it, trying to discover which country owned it.All special effects production
48、 requires training, skill, and experience. It also can add a great deal to the expense of producing the film.60 The special-effects persons job is important because _.（A）she reduces the costs of movie making（B） she makes scenes look real（C） she makes destroyed things reusable（D）she protects their wo
49、rk from being destroyed61 The special-effects person made the fish stop swimming _.（A）by staring at them（B） by applying electricity to the fish bowl（C） by reducing the amount of electricity applied to the fish bowl（D）by ordering them to stop62 A U.S. military airplane followed the boat because _.（A）the boat was on a dangerous voyage（B） the boat was from an enemy
