Over time，3D film dipped in and out of the entertainment industry depending on the ups and downs of the market. By the end of the twentieth century，3D entertainment was most popular at amusement park attractions，including Disneyland and Universal Studios. Eventually，in 1995，digital film revolutionized the filmmaking industry when Disney Pixars Toy Story (1995) brought lifelike animation and computer graphics to the big screen. The movies animation embodied the latest technology in computer animation until the release of Oscarwinning Up (2009)，which featured popout 3D effects. Finally，in December 2009，Avatar changed the flourishing landscape of 3D film. Avatar boasts exceptional special effects. Cameron began developing Avatar in 1995 and applied new techniques in 2006，where actors physical movements are transferred to animated characters on the computer screen. Later，in movie theatres，Cameron showcased his final product in RealD Cinema，the worlds most popular digital 3D projection system. In a review，blogger Ben Patterson was blown_away by the overall presentation of Avatar. He said it was pretty much impossible to tell what was a digital effect and what was live action. 36_ could be the best title of this passage. AThe development of 3D filmB3D film at DisneylandCAvatar in RealD CinemaDRevolution and entertainment37Filmmakers made 3D film at the very beginning to _. Aattract rich customers in the entertainment marketBmaintain its dominant role in the entertainment fieldCprovide new techniques to the younger generationDturn more TV viewers into cinemagoers38The new technique of _ was used in Avatar in the year of 2006.

The 81yearold character is a computer game hero with a new character. As his new character shows，Mickey Mouse more closely looks like classic computer heroes such as Sonic the Hedgehog(刺猬) than his previous(以前的) character. In childrens memory，Mickey Mouse is highly thought of because he is clever，brave，kind and very humorous. In this new game he is made to behave in a selfish way，and his appearance grows more mouselike. The hope is to return Mickey，most familiar to many as a powerful company symbol of the Disney Empire，to his roots as a playful figure of fun. As Epic Mickey，he will live in a cartoon wasteland with other characters no longer in fashion. Mickey will face the enmity(敌意) of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit，a cartoon character created in 1927 but given up in a quarrel，who has become bitter about Mickeys popularity. A robotic Donald Duck also appears in the game. Warren Spector，the creative director of Junction Point Studios，which is based in Austin，Texas and the Disneyowned game developer，led the work on Epic Mickey. He said，“I wanted him to be able to be naughtywhen youre playing as Mickey you can misbehave and even be a little selfish. ” But he added，“Mickey is never going to be evil(邪恶的) or go around killing people. ”40We learn from the passage that Sonic the Hedgehog is _.

On their journey，they visit a handful of characters and learn a lot. Its about taking the scenic route in life，preparing for the hope and excitement and fear of new beginnings，while never forgetting to look out of the window.

You want a good horror film about a child from hell？Then you got one！Do not，in any case，take children to see it. 500 Days of Summer Tom is in love with Summer from the moment he sees her. Can he accept that she simply likes him for now，not for forever？The movie is about Tom wrestling with that reality. Tom remembers his love，Summer，as a series of joys and bafflements. But Summer is just herself and he cannot have her. Here is a rare movie that begins by telling us how it will end and is about how the hero has no idea why. 2012 The director Roland Emmerich successfully dresses a corny story with an old Mayan prediction，which is believed by many to happen in the coming 2012 and as a result，attracts millions of people into the cinema. Its just an entertaining Hollywood blockbuster(大片) with plenty of jokes，instead of a description of what the end of the world is really like. Dont take it too seriously！44. This passage aims to _.

DSylvester Stallone is a successful actor，but his way to success is difficult. As with any actor，Stallone kept on applying for(申请) roles in movies，only to find himself refused all the time. The reasons differed，but the most common one was that he had an ugly look. During this time he was too poor to pay for his heating. His wife was shouting at him to get an ordinary job but he knew that if he gave in he wouldnt realize his dream. He finally even had to sell his wifes ring and his wife was so angry that she left him. Later，he had to sell his dog for only $25. This moment was the lowest of his life and tears came out as he saw his dog walking off with a stranger. Fifteen days later，he was watching a boxing(拳击) gameand the idea of Rocky suddenly hit him. He wrote for 20 straight hours；he did not sleep and wrote the whole film in one night. Immediately he set about finding someone to buy it. Finally he met these agents who just loved it and they offered him $125，000 for the script(剧本)！This was an unbelievable amount of money that could be a life turner for Stallone，yet he told these agents that he wouldnt sell the script unless he would be given the title role in the film. Being a “Nobody” at that time，he was certainly refused. Finally，after some time of consideration，the agents met Stallone once more. This time they offered him the title role of the film. However，as this was a great risk to them，the offer came down to $35，000 for the script. Finally，Sylvester Stallones perseverance(坚持不懈) made his dream come true. 48The reason why Stallone succeeded is that _. Ahe had a talent for actingBhis family supported himChe always got good luck in his lifeDhe kept working hard49Stallone was always refused because of _. Ahis poor lookBhis attitude to workChis poor performanceDhis laziness in daily life50Stallone didnt want to find an ordinary job because _. Ahe didnt have much timeBhe didnt want to work in a companyChe didnt want to give up his dreamDhe didnt want to live on with his wife51The underlined word “Nobody” in the fifth paragraph means _. Aa dishonest person Ban unknown personCa poor man Da foolEWhen the famous dancer Fred Astaire was interviewed for a job by a Hollywood producer，the movie Expert turned him down，saying，“Cant sing. Cant act. Dances a little. ” Heres another stupid mistake. When the great scientist Albert Einstein was at school，his teachers considered him rather dull. And a final story，the famous Polish pianist Paderewski was told by a teacher that hed never be a success as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short. What lessons can be drawn from these three experiences？First，true genius(天才) cannot be suppressed(压抑)For some reason or other it works its way out. Second，early judgments of a persons abilities may be unfair or just wrong. Third，when there is a real determination to succeed，obstacles fall by the wayside. The famous motto “ad astra per aspera” can be translated as “To the stars through hardships”As
