3-D Coming at You! 讓你身歷其境的 3-D 新視界 by Li Chen |
This dimension like no other makes the world pop out. Move over, 2-D; there's a new kid on the block—3-D. In fact, three-dimensional imagery has been around since the late 1890s. _(1)_ How is it that 3-D images appear as if they were flying out at you from the screen? _(2)_ The way humans see things is called binocular vision. Both your right and left eyes see the same object from slightly different angles, so each eye actually sees a different picture. The brain then merges them into a single, unified image while giving a sense of depth and distance. _(3)_ During a movie, two images are projected onto the same screen at the same time through different filters. Each side of the special 3-D glasses worn during the movie contains different filters as well. This means that the same scene is being viewed by both eyes, but from slightly different perspectives. _(4)_ This kind of tech nology is no longer limited to special movie theaters with viewers wearing uncomfortable glasses. _(5)_ The technology is already being applied to other electronic devices, such as mobile phones, personal computers, gaming systems, and televisions. There is no limit to what the future of three-dimensional technology may send your way, so don't blink! (A) The answer is quite simple: your eyes are being fooled by your brain. (B) New 3-D viewing systems that don't depend on glasses are being developed at the moment. (C) Moviemakers take advantage of this to trick people into believing that they really perceive 3-D space. (D) The human brain puts all this together, and everything on the screen blends into a seamless, moving, three-dimensional image. (E) Thanks to recent blockbusters like Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, and How to Train Your Dragon, 3-D technology is now all the rage. |
原來如此 |
理由: a. 空格前兩句提到,平面的 2-D 畫面讓一讓,後起之秀的 3-D 來了。事實上,3-D 映像從 1890 年代後期就已存在了。 b. (E) 選項的句子說,由於近來的賣座電影如《阿凡達》、《魔鏡夢遊》和《馴龍高手》的上映,3-D 技術現在可是蔚為風行,延續說明 3-D 雖然已經存在多時,但為何近來才開始流行,語意連貫,可知 (E) 為正選。 大補丸: a. thanks to... 由於/因為…… 例: Thanks to the pilot's experience, a terrible accident was avoided. (多虧飛行員的經驗,才免掉一場可怕的意外。) b. blockbuster n. 賣座電影強片 c. 3-D 立體的 = three-dimensional a. dimensional a. 立體的;(長、寬、高等)尺寸的 dimension n.(空間的)度量 d. be all the rage 極為流行,蔚為風行 例: The bowl cut hairstyle is all the rage in Taiwan. (馬桶蓋髮型目前在台灣非常流行。) 2. 第二題空格應選 (A) 理由: a. 空格前一句是問句『3-D 影像是如何看起來像是從銀幕裡飛出來直逼你眼前呢?』推測下一句應是回答這個問題的答案。 b. (A) 選項的句子提到,答案很簡單,就是你的眼睛被大腦給矇騙了。回答了上一個問句,故選之。 大補丸: fool vt. 愚弄,欺騙 fool sb into + V-ing 欺騙某人從事…… 例: David was fooled into believing that he had won the lottery. (大衛被騙以為自己中樂透。) 3. 第三題空格應選 (C) 理由: a. 空格前的數個句子均在解釋人類看東西的方式。 b. 空格後的句子起首為 During a movie,而 (C) 選項的句子主詞為 Moviemakers(電影製作者),與 a movie 產生關聯,故 (C) 應為正選。 大補丸: a. take advantage of... 利用…… 例: Adam and Beth took advantage of the warm weather to have a picnic.

(D) 選項的句子提到,當人體大腦匯集這些畫面,銀幕上所有東西便融合成毫無間隙並且會移動的 3-D 影像,將其前的 3-D 原理做一個總結,語意連貫,故選之。大補丸: a. blend vi. 融和,交融例: After being stirred, the colors of the liquid in the test tube blended into one.
