　　Film cameras and digital cameras work in a similar way．

　　Film cameras

　　After all, a film camera is basically a light－proof(不透光的)box．It has a lens(鏡頭)system to focus light onto the film at the back of the camera．

　　Let’s suppose that we are outside on a beautiful summer day trying to take a picture of the family dog．We are using a film camera．We finally get the dog to lie still．You point the camera at him．What happens?Light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter．In other words, nothing happens yet．Now let’s say that the dog looks really cute and you decide to snap a picture．What happens?When you press the button, the shutter opens for a very short period of time．A small amount of light passes through and hits the film at the back of the camera．This creates an upside-down and reversed(反向的)image on the film．

　　When you finish the roll of the film, you can take it to the photo shop to develop it and you will have a great picture of your dog!

　　Cameras come with different lens lengths．Why does it matter?Many small cameras have shorter focal lengths, which means that there is a small distance between the lens and the place where the light focuses at the back of the camera．This gives you a large view of the area you are taking a picture of．Lenses with a long focal length show a smaller area but allow you to focus on distant objects and make them bigger．They are often called telephoto lenses．A good example of a long focus lens is one that is used by sports photographers to get photos of football players as if they were standing right beside them．

　　Digital cameras

　　In digital cameras, the light falls not on film but onto a sensor(傳感器)called a CCD(Charge Coupled Device)．This digitally converts(轉(zhuǎn)變)light and color into a digital information or pixels(象素)．The CCD is the heart of any digital camera and usually the most expensive part－depending on how good it is．

(1)

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

[　　]

A．

Both digital and film cameras focus light onto the film．

B．

All cameras have a sensor．

C．

Digital cameras and film cameras have something in common．

D．

Small cameras usually have longer focal lengths．

(2)

In the“Film cameras”part, you fail to take the picture of the dog because ________．

[　　]

A．

light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter

B．

you haven’t aimed the camera at the dog

C．

the image of the dog is not created

D．

the sensor fails to convert light and color into a digital information

(3)

The main reason that sports photographers can get clear and big photos of players is that ________．

[　　]

A．

they use digital cameras

B．

the lens of their cameras is excellent

C．

their focus lenses are short

D．

their focus lenses are long

(4)

Generally speaking, a digital camera’s price is ________．

[　　]

A．

closely related to the quality of the CCD

B．

irrelevant to the quality of the CCD

C．

closely related to the lens

D．

irrelevant to the lens

　　Today, ultrasonic(超聲的)waves are being put to work in laboratories and factories．If an ultrasound generator is placed in a liquid, the waves move the liquid back and forthhundreds of thousands of times each second．This causes materials to mix quickly or to dissolve(使分解，使溶解)in liquids．Paint manufacturers(制造商)use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors．The companies that make film for your camera find that mixing chemicals by the use of sound waves will produce a more sensitive film．

　　The new lightweight(輕量的)type of washing machine uses ultrasonic waves to get clothes clean．Its special ultrasound generator is put into a pail of soapy water containing the soiled clothes．The sound waves drive the soapy water back and forth through the cloth so fast that everything is soon clean．There is also a new kind of dishwasher that works in much the same way．

　　Ultrasonic waves can shake a liquid so fast that tiny holes form all through it．The liquid is actually torn apart by this action．Almost as soon as these holes are made, they fall together again．The result is a powerful pounding action．In the dairy industry this is used for the double purpose of making homogenized(使均勻，使勻質(zhì))milk and sterilizing(使無菌)it at the same time．If you look at some raw milk with a microscope, you find that it is made up of little drops of butter fat floating around in a watery liquid．In order to make milk easier to digest, these fat droplets(微粒)may be broken up by forcing the milk through very small openings．The result is called homogenized milk．When the ultrasonic method is used, the sound waves not only break up the droplets but also kill the germs in the milk by pounding them to pieces．

(1)

Why does a paint manufacturer use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors?

[　　]

A．

Because it is cheap to use ultrasound to blend colors．

B．

Because the waves move the liquid so quickly that it can make materials mix quickly or dissolve in liquids．

C．

Because they can mix chemicals by the use of sound waves．

D．

Because the waves can clean the paint．

(2)

What properties does ultrasound wave have?

[　　]

A．

Homogenizes and sterilizes the milk．

B．

Mix materials and break droplets．

C．

Kill germs and sterilize milk．

D．

Move liquids quickly．

(3)

What exists in the raw milk?

[　　]

A．

Little drops of butter fat．

B．

Small holes．

C．

Fat droplets and germs．

D．

Chemicals．

(4)

Where is ultrasound wave not used?

[　　]

A．

In the paint manufacture．

B．

In the shop mixing bread flour．

C．

In the film-making company．

D．

In the dairy industry．
