In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business, but he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.

The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, 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.

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, photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. He was also the first person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined 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 rolls. So they did not have to make the film themselves. The invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive. With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. 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.

1.What was special about Daguerre’s pictures?

A.They were used for his business.

C.They were the first colored pictures.

2.What can we learn about Mathew Brady?

A.He took pictures of American Civil War.

B.He was the first to photograph people.

D.He was a hero during the Civil War.

3.What made photography accessible to common people?

An online tool has been released(推出）which is able to bring black and white photographs to life by adding colour to them using artificial intelligence(AI).

Colourisation(上色）of old photos is normally a process taking a lot of time,which requires special training and expensive software.The tool,ColouriseSG,is able to do it for free. It is trained on old pictures and uses machine learning to guess what it thinks the pictures would have looked like in colour.

＂The purpose of colourisation is to produce a picture with colours that seem to be right," the tool's developers say."It by no means makes sure that the colourised picture is an accurate（精确的）representation of the original photo in time."

The free-to-use tool was developed to provide an accurate way for people from Singapore to edit their black and white pictures.The idea of ColouriseSG was to provide a large enough data-set to be linked to people living in Singapore.

Tech firm NVIDIA has released several different picture editing tools that are powered by AI.Its latest release is software which uses deep learning to turn even the roughest drawings into works of art.

The new program,GauGAN,named after famous French impressionist Paul Gaugin,uses a tool called GAN to recognize simple lines and turn them into realistic pictures.

Its application could help jobs,for example,urban planning,edit pictures faster and with greater accuracy,according to the company.

“It's much easier to come up with designs with simple drawings,and this technology is able to turn these drawings into highly realistic pictures,"said Bryan Catanzaro,vice president of applied deep learning research at NVIDIA.

1.How does ColouriseSG colourise photos?

A.By learning from people in Singapore.

B.By presenting old photos correctly.

C.By editing original colors on the photos.

D.By making a guess based on a data-set.

2.According to the passage,GauGAN can

A.colourise black and white photos accurately

B.employ deep learning to create works of art

C.make Tech firm NVIDIA known to people

D.turn rough drawings into realistic pictures

3.The passage is mainly about

A.the colourisation of old pictures

B.the technology of machine learning

C.picture editing tools powered by AI

D.simple lines changed into photos

4.The passage is most probably a

A.science report B.technology review

C.research plan D.laboratory record

Paulie received a remote control car, some clothes, and a collection of action figures for his birthday. But what he really wanted was this video game he had been asking for. Only Granddad’s present was to come, so, with two fingers on each hand crossed tightly, he hoped.

“Here you go you little whippersnapper.”

“Thanks,” said Paulie, ripping the wrapping clean off the present.

His face dropped; all he got was a drawing pad, and an old, used, wooden pencil.

“Now that there is a magic pencil,” said Granddad.

Paulie looked sceptical.

“It brings imagination to life,” said Granddad, prodding(戳一下)his nose secretly.

Later that night, Paulie was sent to bed. But he couldn’t sleep. He wished he had his game to play, but he didn’t. So he got up, took out his pad and “magic” pencil, and started to draw.

Paulie drew a monster. He then drew a castle for the monster to attack, and he added a princess, as they are always in castles. Paulie figured the monster wanted to eat the princess as her dress made her look like a birthday cake.

Then he drew a knight(骑士), as knights always rescue princesses.

Then something magical happened. Paulie was sucked into this paper world.

Paulie now stood looking down at the castle. A knight was charging at him. So, with his mighty(有劲儿的)arm, he hit the knight right hard out of the picture. Then he ate the princess.

Paulie soon found himself back in his bedroom. He looked at the paper; on it was a drawing of the monster. It was licking(舔)its finger, with a big smile. Paulie smiled back.

Paulie didn’t want his game anymore. He realised this short but thick pencil and paper could take him anywhere.

1.When Paulie opened his grandpa’s present, he felt 　　　　 .

A.puzzled B.excited

C.disappointed D.angry

2.Paulie couldn’t fall asleep because he 　　　　 .

A.was still expecting his birthday present

C.didn’t know how to enjoy his birthday present

D.didn’t get the gift he had been expecting

3.In the end, Paulie 　　　　 .
