A camera and sensor catch images and gather depth information about physical objectsthe bench and the person.And then a computer translates them into the 3D animations.Meanwhile sensors of touch built into the bench deliver shaking that is happening at the same time and speed to animated actions on the screen, creating the illusion that the animated figures are occupying realworld space next to the user.“Our goal for this project was: hear characters coming, see them enter the space and feel them sit next to you, ” said Moshe Mahler, principal digital artist at Disney Research.Unlike the traditional mobile technology, one of whose limitations is that only a single user can see its illusion, the Magic Bench allows groups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented reality(扩充实境) experience，all at the same time.In a video show, a small cartoon donkey runs into view and kicks the bench, causing a sharp sound and making the seated person jump in surprise.Another test shows two people on the bench, reacting as they “feel” an animated rabbit skip up beside them and jump up and down.When a user passes his hand over the rabbit, a shadow moves across its head, as though it were occupying the same physical space as the person next to it.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了迪斯尼公司设计的“Magic Bench”，它能使观众与卡通人物互动，该互动通过将座位、模特和卡通人物映在长椅对面的屏幕上，让观众更加身临其境。1What does the Magic Bench need to work properly?ASpecial glasses.BEarphones.CA mirror.DA screen.D细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Instead，the complete environmentthe seat，the sitter and the cartoon charactersis mirrored on a screen opposite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold”可知，屏幕是该互动技术所需要的，故D项正确。2What does the underlined word “illusion” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AThe shaking that is happening.BThe 3D animations on the screen.CThe figures about physical objects.DThe interaction with animated figures.D词义猜测题。根据第一段的内容，尤其是第一句中的“lets you interact(互动)with lovely animated(动画的)characters”可知，这种方式让观众和可爱的动画人物互动；结
