What are special effects? Do you enjoy movies that use a lot of speciai effects Dinosaurs from the distant past! Space battles from the distant future! There has been a revolution in special effects, and it has transformed the movies we see.
The revolution began in the mid 1970s with George Lucas’s Star Wars ,a film that stunned audiences. That revolution continues to the present, with dramatic changes in special-effects technology. The company behind these changes is Lucas’s Industrial Light&- Magic(ILM). And the man behind the company is Dennis Muren, who has worked with Lucas since Star Wars.
Muren’s interest in special effects began very early. At the age of6,he was photographing toy dinosaurs and spaceships. At 10, he had an 8 millimeter movie camera and was making these things move through stop-motion. (Stop-motion is a process in which objects are shot with a camera, moved slightly, shot again, and so on. When the shots are put together,the objects appear to move)
Talk to Muren and you’ll understand what ILM is all about:tak-ing on new challenges. By 1989,Muren decided he had pushed the old technology as far as it would go.
He saw computer graphics(圖像)(CG) technology as the wave of the future and took a year off to master it.
With CG technology,images can be scanned into a computer for processing, for example, and many separate shots can be combined in- to a single image. CG technology has now reached the point, Muren says,where special effects can be used to do just about anything so that movies can tell stories better than ever before. The huge success of Jurassic Park and its sequel(續(xù)集), The Lost World, the stars of which were computer-generated dinosaurs.

Goal of American Education
Education is an enormous and expensive part of American Lfie Its size is matched by its variety.
Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other comuntries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone--not just for a privileged elite.
Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability,and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing,sewing, radio repair, computer programming or driver training,along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history,and languages. Students choose their curricula depending on their interests,future goals, and level of ability. The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities,and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.
Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and "Americanizing" the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns.
The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abili- ties. Students spend much time,learning how to use resource materi- als,libraries,statistics and computers. Americans believe that if chil- dren are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives. Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts.
This is America’s answer to the searching question that thought- ful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-mov- ing time:"How can one prepare today’s child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?"
Which of the following best states the goal of American education? （ ）
A.To teach every learner some practical skills.
B.To provide every learner with rich knowledge.
C.To give every student the opportunity to fully develop his/herability.
D.To train every student to be a responsible citizen.
12
It is implied in the passage that （ ?。?BR> A.all high-school students take same courses
B.every high-school student must take some practical ability training courses
C.every public school offers the same academic subjects
D.the subjects every student takes may vary
13

A.ment of knowledge
B.accumulation of facts
C.acquisition of the ability to be creative
D.acquisition of the ability to work with his hands
14
According to the passage,American education meets the needs of all the following EXCEPT （ ）
A.the brightest students （ ?。?BR> B.the slow students
C.the students from foreign countries
D.the immigrants
15
Which of the following best states the feature of American education that makes it different from education in other countries? （ ?。?BR> A.The large number of its schools.
B.The variety of the courses offered in its shcools.
C.Its special consideration given to immigrants.
D.Its underlying goal to develop every child’s abilities to the fullest extent.

McGrady’s art is a spectacle
__①__ When Tracy McGrady is healthy, his play can be so beautiful that even his own teammates on the court cannot help but admire it in the middle of a game.
__②__ "It’s hard for me, because I’m a fan of basketball." Houston point guard Rarer Alston told the Houston Chronicle newspaper after McGrady’s 44-point performance against Utah on January 5. "When he’s shooting the ball like that,a lot of times I’m standing there watc- hing and,all of a suden, the other team’s getting the ball and going on a fast break, and I’m getting yelled at by the coach." Indeed,McGrady’s body control, his energy, his shooting-watching these are like watching an artist at work, blending colours, constructing sen-tences,or playing music.
__③__Unfortunately,McGrady,27,hasn’t always been on the job. Already this season,he’s missed seven games with back spasms. After Yao Ming was injured on Dec. 23, it appeared Houston would be without both of its stars. McGrady, however, returned three days later and has been playing well ever since, scoring more than 30 points in each of the last six games, as of Tuesday. Houston can’t seem to get on without him. When McGrady was injured, the Rockets won two and lost five.
__④__"Listen, there are only four or five people on the entire planet that can do the things he can do with the basketball "forward Shane Battier said of McGrady. "From a fan’s perspective-and we’re fans even though we’re players-it’s really fun to watch him do that. From a player’s perspective,his game can affect the entire tearn No question We see him,and we get excited,and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots,and suddenly it seems to become easier for everybody."
__⑤__But it won’t,really. Houston has just begun an important stretch on their schedule. Four of the next seven games will be played away from Houstop--and without Yao. Six of the games will be against teams with winning records. Opponents will double-team McGrady in an attempt to dull the impact of his art. Instead of watching, McGrady’s teammates will need to create a little art of their own.
