Choose the best one and markyour answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneWalt Disneys name is known around the world but even better known are the characters which he created Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and countless other cartoon personalities. Disney was a cartoonist, a showman, and abusiness man of giant proportion. But basically he was a storyteller. He once said of his work, Every good play orpicture has a lesson to teach, a moral to play. Whafs the sense of making a picture unless youve got somethingimportant to say? The trick is to say it without preaching. Say it in terms of entertainment. .5,Walt Disney was born in Chicago in 1901. As a small boy, Walt Disney drew sketches of the barnyard creaturesand the scenes he saw around the farm. His interest in drawing continued, and his father allowed him to takeSaturday classes at the Kansas City Art Institute. After World War I, he eventually found work with the Kansas CityFilm Ad Company. Experimenting with the use of cardboard figures in animation, the company gave Disneyvaluable training, and in a short time he left to form his own production company. Disney and a talented drafts manfrom Holland, Iwerks, produced a number of animated cartoons, choosing for their subject matter topics of localcurrent interest as well as fairy tales. Running out of money in 1923, Walt closed his business in Kansas City andmoved to California. There, in partnership with his brother Roy, and a capital base of $280, the Disney Studio wasbegun.Mickey Mouse was the product of the collaboration of Walt Disney and Iwerks. The Mouse who appeared forthe first time in 1928 in the cartoon was not the well-braved character which the world knows today. He wasmischievous and did get into trouble.After the first Mickey Mouse cartoons succeeded in making Mickey a sort of little mans hero, Disney foundthat the public expected him to act properly at all times. When Mickey stepped out of line in a cartoon, the studiowould receive letters from countless people and organization who felt their model for correct behavior was beingcompromised. This made it more difficult to put Mickey Mouse into comic situations and he came more and more toact in the role of a straight man, and the proper little gentle mouse we know him to be. Laughter was sparkled bynew cartoon characters which Disneys art presented in 1930; the incompetent Goofy in 1932; and the notorious,incomprehensible Donald Duck.In 1933, Walt Disney was thinking about an unheard of project an animated cartoon story which would runfor more than an hour. In making a feature-length film, Disney would have an opportunity to use more complexploys and develop more elaborately the characters in the story. He hoped to animate a fairy story giving it a kind ofmagic which live action film would not have.Disney started to set down his ideas in 1934. He chooses the story Snow White for his first feature film.Through Snow White, the Wicked queen and the prince were standard fairy tale characters. Disneys characterizationof the dwarfs was unique. Original songs were written to move the story along, and a fairy tale mood of timelessnesswaste. When Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs opened the Christmas week, in 1937, it was an immediate success.Disneys other feature cartoons of the 1940s and 1950s have become part of a childs heritage. Pinocchin,Dumbo, Cinderella, Peter Pan, and others showed the range of storyline that could be interested through cartoonanimation.46. Why was Walt Disney basically considered a storyteller?A.

Themagician is a specially trained actor. He tries to make the audience believe that he has the power to do things, whichare against the laws of nature. Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricksare done. The magician always tries to keep his tricks a secret.The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands, on his knowledge of psychology, and sometimes, onmechanical devices. Since magic tricks are meant to fool people, the use of psychology is important. The magicianmust keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of hisequipment. He must also lead the audience to draw false conclusions. The magician5s success depends on the factthat many things seen by the eye do not register on the mind.Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear and making objects seem to disappear. Acombination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects. For example, the magician puts a small ballunder one of the several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change color. What actuallyhappens is that the magician, employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device, hides one ball. Wliile doingthis he talks to the audience and waves a brightly colored cloth with one hand. The audience is too busy watching thecloth and listening to the magicians words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball.A magicians powers are really quite limited, but he makes people believe that he can do almost anything bychanging or combining several tricks.Tricks in which the magician apparently cuts people in half or makes them disappear are called illusions. Theword illusion derives from the fact that mirrors are often used to perform these tricks. A famous illusion trick is tosaw a woman in half. The woman is put into a long box with her head sticking out of one end and her feet stickingout of the other end. The magician takes an ordinary wood saw and cuts 1:he box into two halves. The audience isshocked, thinking that perhaps he has killed the woman. A few moments later, however, the magician puts hismagic cape over the box and the woman comes out. The woman that the audience saw being cut in two was onlyan image in a mirror 一 an illusion.Early conjurers frequently wore a large apron with many pockets in which they could carry their props. Thebag-like apron served as identification and as a place to hide things while performing. About 1400, more elaboratetricks were invented which used larger equipment, such as boxes or barrels with false bottoms. Under these falsebottoms the magician could hide a bird, rabbit, plant, or whatever he wanted to make appear suddenly. People of thattime knew very little about mechanical devices, so it was easier for the magician to deceive them. Modem magic didnot really start until the 1800s. Its father is considered to be Jean Houdin, a Frenchman, who developed rules forconjuring.51. Which of the following descriptions about the magician is true?A. The magician has to be specially trained at an early age.B. The magician must be good at making the audience draw false conclusions.C. The magician will reveal the secrets of a certain magic if necessary.D. A successful magician must have a genius for magic.52. The knowledge of audience psychology is important in playing magic, because.A. The magician has to know what the audience would like to see.B. The magician has to make sure the audience can control feelings well when seeing something exciting orhorrible.C. The magician must be capable of making the audience believe what was seen.D. The magician must know how to respond to the audience if he fails in a magic performance.53. Why will the magician use a brightly colored cloth when he tries to make a ball disappear?A. In order to create a good stage effect.B. To distract the audiences attention from his other hands movement.C. Because bright color makes it easier for the audience to see the ball jump from one cup to another.D. Because the bright color can bring good luck for the magician.54. Why can the woman still be alive after being cut into halves by the magician?A. Because she has special ability to recover soon after being cut.B. Because what the magician cut was just her image in a mirror.C. Because the woman cut by the magician was her substitute.D. Because the magician didnt really cut her seriously.55. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. The bag-like apron was a symbolic prop for early magicians.B. It can be inferred that modern magicians can perform feats much more complex than earlymagicians.C. The more capable a magician is, the more elaborate mechanical devices he will use.D. The audience of six hundred years ago was more easily to be fooled.Passage ThreeThe motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon everinvented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect thelegal and moral rights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people or ordinary people acting carelessly, youmight say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when ones actionscould bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to thepsychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers reactions, slow their judgment, and blindthem to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make aconscious effort to keep ones emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularlyviolate traffic regulations; they are at fault in most vehicle-walker accidents. And many cyclists even believe thatthey are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards forvehicles have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. Inaddition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accidentexperts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real andlasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care andconcentration. Those who fail to do all these things pose a threat to those with whom they share the road.56. The underlined word massacre in Paragraph One means.A. mass-killingB. disasterC. tragedyD. accident57. What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?A. To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.B. To promote understanding
