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 cou
8、ld happen without harming the people in the film.The man who knows the answer is the “special-effects“man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. He may be ordered to create a flood or to make a battlefield explode. But he may also be asked to create a special effect which is mu
9、ch less exciting, though just as important to the success of the film.In a scene for one movie, there was a big glass bowl filled with water in which small fish were swimming. The director of the movie wanted the fish to stop swimming suddenly while they seemed to stare at an actor. Then the directo
10、r wanted the fish to stop staring and swim away. But fish cannot be ordered to do anything. It was quite a problem. The special-effects man thought about this problem for a long time. The result was an idea for controlling the fish with a harmless use of electricity. First, he applied electricity to
11、 the fish bowl, 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.As in other parts of movie making, there are those who have developed particular skills in creating ce
12、rtain kinds of effects. For fires, the special-effects man does not trust the normal buring process of wood or other materials. He does not have time to wait until large flames appear. Usually he places metal pipes in the area that is to be burned. Gas flowing through the pipes burns instantly but c
13、an be kept under control easily by opening or closing the pipes.All this requires training, skill and experience. It also adds a great deal to the expense of producing the film. It helps explain why so many movies are very expensive to make.16 All the following scenes are probably the results of spe
14、cial effects in films except that_.（A）a bridge was destroyed（B） a building was burned down（C） a person wondered how not to harm people（D）a ship sank into the ocean17 The job of a special-effects man is_.（A）most important（B） always exciting（C） less important（D）very rewarding18 The special-effects man
15、 used electricity to control the fish in a bowl because_.（A）the fish cannot swim and stop freely（B） the fish cannot stare at the actor（C） the fish cannot stay still（D）the fish cannot be ordered to do anything19 The special-effects man creates the effects of fire by_.（A）burning wood or other material
16、s（B） burning metal pipes（C） opening and closing gas pipes（D）waiting for large flames20 The passage is mainly about_.（A）the importance of a special-effects man（B） the way to make special effects（C） the expense of special effects（D）the needs of special effects20 Before a new airliner goes into service
17、, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. One of them is very strange and the other is very dangerous.The first of these is called the“tank test“. A modern airliner must fly at very high altitudes. Air must be pumped into the p
18、lane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, or“pressured“ , the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window, for example, is like a huge, giant foot that is tr
19、ying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to crack, the plane would explode in the sky. This is what happened to the first Comets. In order to test the structure of the plane, it is lowered into a huge tank of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than
20、it ever will be when it is in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked. This part is made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is goin
21、g through test flight in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when all the engines are shut off at once. He takes the plane up very high. Then he shuts the engines off. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilots job to find out how he can get control of the plane a
22、gain. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.21 The purpose of the “tank test“is to find out_.（A）how much air passengers need to breathe at certain altitudes（B） how much air can be pumped into the plane（C） what would happen if the plane crashed in
23、the water（D）if there are any weak parts in the plane that would burst under pressure22 It can be inferred that during the test, _.（A）water is pumped into the plane instead of air（B） more air is pumped into the plane than usual（C） water exerts great pressure on the skin of the plane（D）the weaker part
24、s receive greater pressure23 The test is carried out under water because_.（A）the pressure under water is greater than in the air（B） the first Comets exploded in the water（C） it will be easier for engineers to find out where the crack is（D）that can protect the testers from being injured24 A test flig
25、ht is dangerous because the test pilot has to_.（A）fly this plane at a very high altitude（B） secure a safe landing in a plane crash（C） find out how to handle a plane when its engines stop working（D）fix the damaged engines during the flight25 The passage implies that modern airliners are_.（A）reliable（
26、B） dangerous（C） complicated（D）efficient25 American this year will swallow 15 , 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. The most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.For mil
27、lions of people suffering from arthritis(关节炎), it is the only thing that works. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that although relatively mild are largely unr
28、ecognized among users.Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th
29、 century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets were available in the United States.A small quantity of aspirin(two five-grain tablets)relieves pain and inflammation(发炎). It also reduces fever by in
30、terfering with some of the bodys reactions. Specifically, aspirin seems to slow down the formation of the acids involved in pain and the complex chemical reactions that cause fever. The chemistry of these acids is not fully understood, but the slowing effect of aspirin is well known.Aspirin is very
31、irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tables in m
32、ilk or orange juice and drinking that.26 This passage discusses_.（A）only the good things about aspirin（B） only the bad things about aspirin（C） both the good and bad things about aspirin（D）neither the good things nor the bad things about aspirin27 The information in Para. 2 shows that_.（A）aspirin can
33、 be dangerous（B） aspirin is always safe（C） aspirin has been around a long time（D）aspirin is very cheap28 In Para. 3, the word“ salicylates“ means“_“.（A）leaves and tree bark（B） the chemical in aspirin（C） aspirin tablets（D）the name of a German company29 The author of this article seems to be_.（A）in fa
