　　Coming Soon to a Theater Near You!

　　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.

　　The special-effects revolution began in the mid 1980s with Star Wars. (　　)

　　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 (　　)

　　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

　　Americanschoolsplace great emphasison the learner’s (　　)

　　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 (　　)

　　B.the slow students

　　C.the students from foreign countries

　　D.the immigrants

　　15
