Ⅱ. 阅读理解【主题：人与社会 动画制作】
Do you play video games with really cool pic-tures? Or watching action movies with amazing special effects? Thanks to advanced technology, modern animation(动画制作) can create better images(图像). They move around the screen at high speed. We experience animation in so many different forms, from the cartoons on our TVs to the emojis(表情符号) on our smartphones. But animation is nothing new. In fact, people have been trying to bring images to life for hundreds of years.
The earliest animation began in the seven-teenth century with an equipment called the magic lantern. In the nineteenth century, other equip-ment was developed that created movement when viewers turned them. By the beginning of the twentieth century, artists around the world were developing short animated films using hand-drawn animation. The painter would create thousands of drawings for only one cartoon!
Through the twentieth century, animators continued to develop different methods. By the 1980s, digital animation was being developed. It quickly took over traditional methods. Because it allowed cartoons to be produced in less time and with less money. Today advanced digital anima-tion methods are not only used in cartoons or video games, but also to create special effects in films. Animation has become so advanced that sometimes we can’t find differences between it and reality!
