35 mm film35 mm film is the basic film gauge most commonly used for both still photography and motion pictures, and remains relatively unchanged since its introduction in 1892 by William Dickson and Thomas Edison, using film stock supplied by George Eastman. The photographic film is cut into strips 35 millimeters (about 1 3/8 inches) wide —hence the name. The standard negative pulldown for movies ("single-frame" format) is four perforations per frame along both edges, which makes for exactly 16 frames per foot (for stills, the standard frame is eight perforations).A wide variety of largely proprietary gauges were used by the numerous camera and projection systems invented independently in the late 19th century and early 20th century, ranging from 13 mm to 75 mm (0.51–2.95 in). 35 mm was eventually recognized as the international standard gauge in 1909, and has remained by far the dominant film gauge for image origination and projection despite threats from smaller and larger gauges, and from novel formats, because its size allows for a relatively good tradeoff between the cost of the film stock and the quality of the images captured. The ubiquity of 35 mm movie projectors in commercial movie theaters makes it the only motion picture format, film or video, which can be played in almost any cinema in the world.The gauge is remarkably versatile in application. In the past one hundred years, it has been modified to include sound, redesigned to create a safer film base, formulated to capture color, has accommodated a bevy of widescreen formats, and has incorporated digital sound data into nearly all of its non-frame areas. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Eastman Kodak and Fujifilm have held a duopoly in the manufacture of 35 mm motion picture film.。

Hydrogen and Future Energy Sources We learned that fossil fuels were formed before and during the time of the dinosaurs - when plants and animals died. Their decomposed remains gradually changed over the years to form coal, oil and natural gas. Fossil fuels took millions of years to make. We are using up the fuels formed more than 65 million years ago. They can't be renewed; they can't be made again. We can save fossil fuels by conserving and finding ways to harness energy from seemingly "endless sources," like the sun and the wind.We can't use fossil fuels forever as they are a non-renewable and finite resource. Some people suggest that we should start using hydrogen.Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless gas that accounts for 75 percent of the entire universe's mass. Hydrogen is found on Earth only in combination with other elements such as oxygen, carbon and nitrogen. To use hydrogen, it must be separated from these other elements.Today, hydrogen is used primarily in ammonia manufacturing, petroleum refining and synthesis of methanol. It's also used in NASA's space program as fuel for the space shuttles, and in fuel cells that provide heat, electricity and drinking water for astronauts. Fuel cells are devices that directly convert hydrogen into electricity. In the future, hydrogen could be used to fuel vehicles (such as the DaimlerChrysler NeCar 4 shown in the picture to the right) and aircraft, and provide power for our homes and offices.Hydrogen can be made from molecules called hydrocarbons by applying heat, a process known as "reforming" hydrogen. This process makes hydrogen from natural gas. An electrical current can also be used to separate water into its components of oxygen and hydrogen in a process called electrolysis. Some algae and bacteria, using sunlight as their energy source, give off hydrogen under certain conditions.Hydrogen as a fuel is high in energy, yet a machine that burns pure hydrogen produces almost zero pollution. NASA has used liquid hydrogen since the 1970s to propel rockets and now the space shuttle into orbit. Hydrogen fuel cells power theshuttle's electrical systems, producing a clean by-product - pure water, which the crew drinks.You can think of a fuel cell as a battery that is constantly replenished by adding fuel to it - it never loses its charge.To view a FLASH video of how a fuel cell works, go to the Ballard Power Systems website.Fuel Cell UsesFuel cells are a promising technology for use as a source of heat and electricity in buildings, and as an electrical power source for vehicles.Auto companies are working on building cars and trucks that use fuel cells. In a fuel cell vehicle, an electrochemical device converts hydrogen (stored on board) and oxygen from the air into electricity, to drive an electric motor and power the vehicle.Although these applications would ideally run off pure hydrogen, in the near term they are likely to be fueled with natural gas, methanol or even gasoline. Reforming these fuels to create hydrogen will allow the use of much of our current energy infrastructure - gas stations, natural gas pipelines, etc. - while fuel cells are phased in.In the future, hydrogen could also join electricity as an important energy carrier. An energy carrier stores, moves and delivers energy in a usable form to consumers.Renewable energy sources, like the sun, can't produce energy all the time. The sun doesn't always shine. But hydrogen can store this energy until it is needed and can be transported to where it is needed.Some experts think that hydrogen will form the basic energy infrastructure that will power future societies, replacing today's natural gas, oil, coal, and electricity infrastructures. They see a new "hydrogen economy" to replace our current "fossil fuel-based economy," although that vision probably won't happen until far in the future.Solar Power SatellitesOne suggestion for energy in the future is to put hugesolar power satellites into orbit around the earth. Theywould collect solar energy from the sun, convert it to electricity and beam it to Earth as microwaves or some other form of transmission. The power would have no greenhouse gas emissions, but microwave beams might affect health adversely. And frequent rocket launches may harm the upper atmosphere. This idea may not be practical for another century; if at all.The picture on the right is an early and simple drawing of how a space solar power satellite would beam energy to electrical power grid on Earth.Other IdeasSome people have claimed they've invented a machine that will "save the planet." Others are convinced that there's a vast conspiracy by fossil fuel and / or nuclear power companies to stop such devices from getting to the public.Some of these contraptions use theories called "Free Energy," "Over Unity" or "Zero-Point Energy." As a matter of fact, you can find all sorts of information about such devices on the Internet. Just plug in any of those words.But none of these devices have ever been proven, either theoretically or physically. The "free energy" area is filled with con artists selling unintelligible information, often clouded with technical sounding jargon, and seeking people with money to develop their inventions or ideas.As the old saying goes, "a fool and his money are soon parted."Most of these devices are perpetual motion machines, which violate known laws of science. Even the U.S. Patent Office will not issue a patent for such devices. With energy and the universe (at least as we know it today), there's no such thing as a free lunch; or free energy. You can't get energy from nothing because of the fundamental laws of physics that energy cannot be created or destroyed.What about matter and anti-matter? What about energy that they use on Star Trek and in other science fiction stories? The ideas are interesting, but they are stillfiction. Though science fiction has a basis in some fact. Jules Verne wrote about traveling under the water more than a hundred years ago, and today we have submarines. He also wrote about going to the moon, and in 1969 humans first set foot on our closest neighbor in space.So, while some ideas being used by writers are fiction... there could be some basis in fact. Who knows, someone might create a mater-antimatter energy system that could revolutionize the way we think about energy and our universe.。

Almost all foreigners 36 to find the city full of yellow-grey fog for most of the year. Dickens, who was . 37 responsible or painting this 38 in people's minds, certainly wasn't joking in those days. In the nineteenth century people used to say 39 someone attempted to kill himself by 40 into the Thames, he would be choked by the fog and poisoned by the terrible 41 of the river before he had time to drown himself. In fact, the situation has 42 only in recent years. When I was a boy in London thirty years ago, I was often unable to see 43 of the road when I left home on winter mornings.The key steps that have turned London into one of the 44 cities in the world were 45 at the end of the 1950s. But Londoners still find it 46 that fog hardly returns. Actually the 47 took place as a result of two main improvements. Factories were forced to fix equipment for air cleaning 48 close down, and local people were not allowed to 49 coal unless it was smoke-free. But the 50 incredible miracle in London occurred 51 1964 when the Thames Water Authority began to pump vast 52 of dissolved oxygen into the river. 53 , varieties of fish that had gradually disappeared from the Thames since 1800 have 54 , and some are 55 caught by fishermen outside the House of Parliament (议会).36.

However, they can also cause problems and unhealthy addictions. This is most clearly seen in the example of South Korea. This country has the world's highest percentage of high-speed Internet services. It has also a high number of game players who are addicted to online games.In 2004, a young man died after playing online games almost nonstop for 86 hours. A 12-year-old boy stole $16,000 from his father to continue online games which he could not get away from. Such problems are spreading to other parts of Asia as well. In 2005, it was reported that about 80 percent of China's 13.8 million online game players were under 25.And many of these were said to be addicted. Such numbers point toward a growing problem among Chinese youth.Dr. Sue-Huei Chen, a psychologist (心思学家), discovered some signs of at-risk people. Suchpeople often go online to escape from their problems. And they usually have no friendship or good social skills. They feel the need to spend more and more time online, so they may be absent from school or family. And they become upset if anyone tries to limit their online game playing.56. The passage is mainly aboutA. online game addictionB. problems caused by online gamesC. computer problems in AsiaD. problems caused by young people57. In the passage, the writer tells us a fact thatA. South Korea has a large number of Internet schoolsB. More and more young men are stealing money for online gamesC. China's online game players are all under the age of 25D. Online game addiction is a very common problem in South Korea58. After reading the passage,, we know that in ChinaA. many young people are playing online games for funB. many young people are getting addicted to online gamesC. only those under 25 like to play online games for long periodsD. 80 percent of the Chinese depend on online games to get relaxed59. According to the passage, are more likely to become addicted to online games.A. people under great pressure from school and workB. people well-known in the field of computer gamesC. people with unsolved problems and few friendsD. people who'd like to take a risk in computer gamesBThis is what happened at Rochelle Cohen's 15' birthday party. Only now, 20 years later, can she and her father talk about it. Laughing about it may take another 15 years.The house started to fill up with her friends, and then another group of teenagers arrived. She can recall the glass front door being broken and some of her older friends taking the key to her father's very expensive car and driving round the city. But the worst part was when her father came home and discovered that 30 computer games were missing. He telephoned the parents of all his daughter's friends. In the end, a boy from a very wealthy family brought them back."Everything was terrible," says Rochelle. "The party was bad enough, but to have my dad ringing everyone like that, I felt even worse"Zoe Marks remembers a party she had. "Someone filled the bath with water, then added tomato sauce, and everyone jumped in. They then went down to the beach to go swimming, where someone stole most of their clothes. At six in the morning, their poor parents received a phone call, asking them to come and collect them."Many parents return home to find their houses emptied of everything except the dog food. At the end of Luke Parton's party, his father (a policeman) came home to find some young guests had eaten a kilo packet of smoked fish. He said he was going to test for fingerprints (指纹) to find out who had opened the packets. The boy who had done it admitted it immediately, and his parents were sent a bill.So stay at home quietly. Or prepare for an unpleasant dream on your return.60. How old is Rochelle Cohen now?A. 15 years old.B. 20 years old.C. 35 years old.D. 50 years old.61. When describing the birthday parties, the writer might be feelingA. shamefulB. confusedC. tiredD. excited62. What did Luke Patron's father do when he found out who had opened his packets?A. He asked the boy's parents to pay for the loss.B. He tested the guests for fingerprints.C. He told the boy's parents about it.D. He reported it to the local police.63. This passage is mainly written forA. party hostsB. teenagersC. policemenD. schoolsCWhen it comes to hard, noisy traveling, we've found that sometimes we'd rather read about it than actually go. Here are some bestsellers for armchair travelers.The Station by Robert Byron. In 1928, the 22-year-old man made a journey to Mount Athos, resulting in one of the best travel books ever written, matched only by Byron's own, much more famous The Road to Osciana.In Darkest A frica by Henry Monton Stanley. It's about his great efforts to save an unlucky German doctor Eduard Schnitzer, who had no desire to be rescued at all.A Traveler's Alphabet: Partial Memoirs by Sir Steven Runciman. A to Z and around the world. He provides priceless information of long-gone princesses, priests, and places.South: A Memoir of the Endurance Voyage by Sir Ernest Shackleton. As the planet started the global war, Shackleton and his brave group of explorers made an unsuccessful but heroic journey to cross Antarctica from 1914 to 1917.The MieheUn Red Guide: France 2005Reading through this final listing of all the nice hotels and wonderful restaurants in France is better than going there, listening to Chirac talk about the poisonous American culture, and spending the price of this book for a tiny cup of tea and a cookie the size of your thumb.The Past Is a Foreign Country by David Lowenthal. This great book of an armchair explorationtells us what has happened in the past and shows the relationship between us and the past travelers.64. The underlined phrase "armchair travelers" in the first paragraph refers to thosewho .A. can only travel with special equipment for the disabledB. like to write about their strange traveling experiencesC. find fun teaching others how to travel to other placesD. like to read about travels instead of traveling themselves65. Which of the books has a very low price according to the passage?A. A Traveler's Alphabet: Partial MemoirsB. South: A Memoir of the Endurance VoyageC. The Michelin Red Guide: France 2005D. The Past Is a Foreign Country66. What can we learn from the passage?A. The Station is no more famous than The Road to Oxiana.B. Henry Morton Stanley, was saved by a German doctor in Africa.C. It took Shackleton and his men 3 years to cross Antarctica.D. In his book, Lowenthal focuses more on history than the present.67. This passage is writtenA. to warn readers against travelingB. to sell more books about travelsC. as an introduction to famous travelersD. to tell people where to travelDDo you always forget where you placed your keys or your purse? What was the name of the movieyou saw last week? The major cause of your forgetfulness may be linked to what you store in yourbody, not in your short-term memory bank.Tests continue to show that people with enough Vitamin B-2 do well in memory exams. The "B"could stand for "brain", if you're one of many with limited instant recall. And the number onesource of that vitamin is sunflower seeds.Even when you're sleeping or relaxing, your brain is still at work. Although it makes upjust two percent of your total body weight, it uses up to 30 % of the calories you take in eachday. For it to work properly, it must be fed. Even if you're not a breakfast eater, that mealis the best way to prepare your brain for the day. A quick and easy English muffin with peanutand butter in it, a glass of milk, and an orange, might be what your brain may be asking youthe first thing in the morning when you feel your head is in a fog. Having sunflower seeds andfruit between meals adds more muscle to that hungry, demanding organ. Vitamin B-1 also helpsthe memory, and that is found in eggs, meats and nuts. In Chinese culture, walnuts (核桃) areknown as the fruit for a long life because it is believed that they feed both the kidneys and the brain. And according to Chinese culture, if you keep those two important organs in good working order, you'll live longer.However forgetful you are, just keep in mind the letter "B", which will help you to "bear in mind almost everything" even on those days when life's challenges are sending you in a billion directions.68. The underlined word "muffin" in the third paragraph probably means .A. menuB. dinnerC. calorieD. cookie69. In the passage, Chinese culture is mentioned toA. support the idea of long lifeB. show the importance of vitamin B-1C. warn the readers of two organsD. remind us of walnuts and sunflower seeds70. What can we conclude from the passage?A. What we eat seems more important than what we learn in terms of memory.B. Two percent of our brain is still active when we are sleeping or relaxing.C. It doesn't make much difference to our brain whether we have breakfast or not.D. Life's challenges have no effect on our memory, if dealt with in a proper way.71. The best title for the passage could beA. Causes of Memory LossB. Vitamin B-2 and MemoryC. Forgetful? But not BrainD. Chinese Culture of Long LifeE"How come the boys always get to go somewhere but we have to stay here?" Toby, my cousin, complained. Soon we had an idea of finding a hidden treasure, but we had to find out how to make this happen. We went upstairs to my parents' bedroom which was always tidy and smelled like my mother's perfume. Opening the silver lid of the glass jar, we looked nervously inside and removed my mother's pretty pearl ring and diamond ring. Mom only wore them when she got dressed up to go somewhere, so Toby believed she wouldn't miss them. We wrapped them up tightly in toilet paper and quickly ran out into the big field where we often pretended tO ride wild horses.We brought along a big kitchen spoon to dig a hole and buried the rings. "Don't tell anyone." Toby made me promise. For some unknown reason we forgot to go back later.It was almost a week before my mother realized her rings were missing and she was driven mad. The look on my face must have been a dead give-away and it wasn't long before I told the whole story about my adventure with Toby. Only then did I realize theseriousness of my crime."Show me where," my mother demanded. So off we went for the rings. But I couldn't remember exactly where! We dug in several places without success. Eventually we gave up, and amazinglymy mother didn't shout at me.One day about six years later, a farmer found a pearl ring in the soil and he kindly handed it over to my mother, who was overjoyed. This discovery started an exciting new search. But the other was never discovered.Many years later, I noticed my sister wearing the pearl ring. When I asked my mother how, she answered, "Well, I always planned to give my good rings to my daughters someday and you were supposed to get the diamond one!"72. The author and Toby decided to find a hidden treasure, becauseA. they had found some somewhereB. they wanted to do something excitingC. Toby was wise enough to know where to findD. they were told mom had hidden some73. Probably, the author's motherA. was not strict with her childrenB. had quite a lot of jewelryC. was not very wealthyD. had a pair of valuable jars74. What can we infer about the diamond ring from the passage7A. The author's sister secretly dug it out for herself.B. The farmer kept it for himself.C. It was already given to the author's sister.D. The author felt regretful about it.75. The best title for the passage could beA. Just PunishmentB. Hidden MemoryC. Happy ChildhoodD.
