As computers have become powerful tools for the rapid and economic production of pictures,
computer graphics has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing fields in computer science. It is used
routinely in such diverse areas as business, industry, art, government, education, research, training, and
medicine.
One of the initial uses of computer graphics, and ultimately its greatest use, has been as an aid to
design, generally to referred to as computer-aided design (CAD). One of its greatest advantages is that
designers can see how an object will look after construction and make changes freely and much more
quickly than with hand drafting. For three-dimensional rendering of machine parts, engineers now rely
heavily on CAD. Automobile, spacecraft, aerospace, and ship designers use CAD techniques to design
vehicles and test their performance. Building designs are also created with computer graphics system.
Architects can design a building layout, create a three-dimensional model, and even go for a simulated
walk through the rooms or around the outside of the building.
Business graphics is another rapidly growing area of computer graphics, where it is used to create
graphs, charts, and cost models to summarize financial, statistical, mathematical, scientific, and economic
data. As an educational aid, computer graphics can be used to create weather maps and cartographic
materials. Computer art also has creative and commercial art applications, where it is used in advertising,
publishing, and film productions, particularly for computer animation, which is achieved by a sequential
process.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Routine uses of computers
B. Computer graphics applications
C. The rapidly growing field of computer science
D. Computers as the architects of the future
2. The word it refers to
A. computer graphics
B. computer science
C. fields
D. computers
3. According to the passage, architects use CAD to
A. inspect buildings
B. create graphs
C. make cartographic materials
D. create three-dimensional models
4. According to the passage, engineers use CAD for
A. a simulated walk through model rooms
B. rendering machine parts
C. making cost models
D. advertising
5. The word applications means
A. jobs
B. creativity
C. uses
D. layers
Activity 4. Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question:(10 points)

A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of temperatures and
increased pressure beneath the surface of the earth. Since temperature rises approximately one degree F for
every sixty feet under the earths surface and the increases with depth, water that seeps down in cracks and
fissures until it reaches to the rocks in the earths interior becomes heated to a temperature in excess of
290degree. Because of the greater pressure, it shoots out of the surface in the form of steam and hot water.
The result is a geyser.
For the most part, geysers are located in three regions of the world: New Zealand, Ice land, and the
Yellowstone National Park area of the United States. The most geyser in the world is Old Faithful in
