Although photography (the Greek word for "writing with
light") and Filmmaking are now so much a part of our visual world
that we take them for granted, they are relative recent inventions. 【1】______
From the time of the Renaissance, many artists had used the
CAMERA OBSCURA draw forms and linear perspective accurately. 【2】______
A camera obscura was a dark room or box With light entering in a 【3】______
tiny hole, perhaps focused on by a lens. An inverted image from the 【4】______
world beyond would be thrown on the opposite wall or side, and its
outlines could be traced on paper. But it was until the first half of【5】______
the nineteenth century that several researchers working independent 【6】______
of each other found ways to capture this image permanently.
Late in the nineteenth century, sequences of still pictures began【7】______
to lead to “movies.” In the mid-twentieth century, the technology 【8】______
of capturing moving images from the world had evolved wireless 【9】______
television broadcasts. And now computer video graphics have opened
up vast new range of possibilities that may or may not originate in 【10】______
the world that we see.

听力原文: During the early American colonial years, corn was more plentiful than wheat, so corn bread was more common than wheat bread. Friendly Indians showed colonists how to grow corn and how to prepare it for food and pioneer women then improved the Indian cooking techniques. When people traveled, they went on foot or horseback, sleeping and eating in the forests. They carried corn bread for sustenance. The corn bread came to be called journeyeake. Later when roads and taverns were built and stagecoaches carried passengers, journeycake became johnnycake, a name many easterners still use for corn bread. The kinds of bread made with cornmeal were and still are almost without limit. Every region has its specialties.
From the start, southerners showed a preference for white eorm:neal, northerners for yellow. And pioneers on the frontier, when they ran out of yeast, made salt-rising bread. They stirred together water, a little water ground cornmeal, potatoes, and salt. They set the mixture, uncovered, in a warm place until it absorbed bacteria from the air and began to ferment. Then they removed the potatoes and used the liquid as leavening for their bread, made with white flour.
