Then Mr. Bill's wife explained about the hole in the middle. She said," Bill went to a shop and bought a very big piece of wood. He brought it home in a car, put it in the garden and shot at it from fifty yards away. Then he drew a target round the hole and cut the wood."

But there was a time when Les Angeles was nothing more than a tiny Indian village. The Spanish expedition searching for Monterey Bay camped there the night of August 1,1769. Twelve years later, other Spaniards started a settlement at the village, which remained unchanged for decades. Yankee sea traders used the settlement as a port, and the California gold rush brought some new economic life to the village, but the town remained quite small. It was not until the completion of the transcontinental railroads in 1869, and the discovery of oil in the 1890s, that the population began to grow.
Later, during the two world wars, Los Angeles experienced move growth, in part because of the new airplane industry. At about the same time, the arrival of two New York motion picture producers in search of sunny weather marked the beginning of an entertainment industry that has become a multibillion-dollar industry today. In just the past 100 years, this tiny sea village has grown into the sprawling metropolis that we know today.

"He' s not here," I said, after a quick look around. The television was speaking out an advertisement for a detergent(洗衣粉), and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband' s underwear was after having been washed. They took no notice of us at all.
"Well, what did you expect?" replied Fergus, yawning (打呵欠)." It's only half past nine, and he said he would be here at nine. You ought to know Graig by this time. He' 11 turn up some- time after ten."

听力原文: Today I would like to talk about the early days of movie making in the late nineteen and the early twentieth centuries. Before the pioneering films of D. W. Griffith, filmmakers were limited by several misguided conventions of the era.
According to one, the camera was always fixed at a viewpoint corresponding to that of the spectator in the theatre, a position now known as the long shot. It was another convention that the position of the camera never changed in the middle of a scene. In last week's films, we saw how Griffith ignored both these limiting conventions and brought the camera closer to the actor. This shot, now known as a full shot, was considered revolutionary at the time. For love of Gold was the name of the film in which we saw the first use of the full shot. After progressing from the long shot m the full shot, the nest logical step for Griffith was to bring in the camera still closer, in what is now called the closeup. The close up had been used before though only rarely and merely as a visual stunt, as for example, in Edward Asport's "The Great Train Robbery", which was made in 1903. But not until 1908 in Griffth's movie called "After Many Years" was the dramatic potential of the closeup first exploited. In the scene from "After Many Years" that we are about to see, pay special attention to the closeup of Annie Lee's worded face as she awaits her husband's return. In 1908, this closeup shocked everyone in the Biogress Studio. But Griffith bad no time for argument. He bad another surprise even more radical to offer. Immediately following the closeup of Annie, he inserted a picture of the object of her thoughts, her husband cast away on a desert isle. This cutting from one scene to another without finishing either of them brought a torrent of criticism on the experimenter.

A.Full shots.
B.Long shots.
C.Action shots.
D.Close up shots.

We found that bar at last. I didn ' t have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon letters over the window-Star Bar. There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat around, looking at a portable television set that someone had brought out of the bar.
They were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning them-selves unenthusiastically (无精打采地 ) with magazines.
" He ' s not here , " I said , after a quick look around. The television was speaking out an adver- tisement for a detergent(洗衣粉) , and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband' s underwear was after having been washed.They took no notice of us at all. .

The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a Daguerreotype (银板照相法).
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. Tile photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After the 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.
Mathew Brady was a well-known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life-like and full of personality (个性).
Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and mined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography... Photographers could buy films ready made in roils (卷). So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later, !which means that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.
With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures "snapshot".
Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.
Photography also turned into a form. of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.
The passage is mainly about______.
A.the invention of cameras
B.a kind of new art-photography
C.the development of photography
D.the important dates in the history of photography

听力原文: A twenty-one-year-old American named Philo Farnsworth built the first working television receiver in nineteen twenty-seven. Many scientists around the world had made important discoveries that led to the development of television. But Philo Farnsworth had recognized as a boy that electrons could capture a picture sent as light and sound waves through the air.
Over the years, the technology has changed and improved. But the idea behind the television broadcast is still the same. TV stations send a powerful signal from a transmitting antenna. An antenna connected to a television set receives the signal.
The problem with this system is that the receiver antenna has to be in line with the transmitting antenna. Mountains or tall buildings can interfere. One solution is cable television.
This system began in the nineteen forties in Pennsylvania. Only a few television stations existed then, and they were in large cities. People in small towns could not receive the signals. So a store owner put an antenna on top of a pole and placed it on a nearby mountain. This antenna received the television signal. Wires led from the antenna to the store. The cable brought clear pictures to the television sets inside. Later, the idea of cable television spread to cities, to provide people with more stations to watch.
Today, people can watch hundreds of stations. And another way to receive them is with a satellite dish antenna. A small round device of the size of a pizza can receive signals from satellites .high above the Earth. The antenna is connected to a special receiver which connects to the television set. Some broadcasts over satellite can be watched free of charge. But the others cost money, just like cable service.
The passage mainly focuses on ______.
A.the importance of TV
B.the function of TV
C.the production of TV
D.the evolution of TV
