My father was just doing it out of curiosity )It was interesting for him to see which one I'd
pick anyway.He said that I just sat there and stared at the three things.He sat across from me and waited

Movies look more real today than ever.You can imagine you're riding in a speeding car or flying in
a spaceship,although you're sitting in a chair.Technology()makes it possible for movie-makers to
create these feelings,make you feel as if you're in the film.To do this,they use special effects ()
which fool the eyes into seeing things that weren't even on the movie set.
Special effects allow artists to show things such as earthquakes and space aliens.The artists can
build small models of a city and shake it in front of a camera.The movie seems to show a real town,but
in reality,the"town"is the size of a table.They can also create monsters that look real on the movie

screen.To do this,they can use models or draw scenes(场景)with animation(动画).
By the time you read this,there will be lots of new kinds of technology used in making movies.
Computers are driving many of these changes.
One kind of technology that has changed the way movies are made is CGI,or computer-generated
imagery.You probably know the word computer,but look at the words generated and imagery.Generated
means“created”,and imagery means“pictures”.So,CGI means“pictures that are created on a
computer"rather than drawn on paper.
Before CGI was created,artists drew each scene of a cartoon by hand.Even short cartoons needed
thousands of drawings,because each second of a movie required 12 drawings.That's a lot of work.CGI
allowed artists to make cartoons much more quickly and make changes easily.Today,CGI is used in
many places,such as TV,video games,and ads.
27.What makes movies today look so real?
A.Aliens.
B.Eyes.
C.technology.
D.Artists.

pictures in the past?

B.300
C.600

29.What can we know about CGI according to the passage?
A It is one kind of technology used in making movies.
B.It requires a lot of work to draw scenes of a cartoon.
C.It means"pictures that are created on paper".
D It is only used to make cartoons.
30.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Technology is used to fool people's eyes.
B.Technology helps change the way people make movies.
C.Artists can't make movies without CGI.
D.There is no need to draw scenes by hand after CGI was created.
