Distant education is a rapidly developing approach to instructions throughout the business. The approach has been widely used by business, industrial, and medical organizations. For many years, doctors, veterinarians, pharmacists, engineers, and lawyers have used it to continue their professional education. Recently, academic instructions have been using distant education to reach a more diverse and geographically disperse audience not accessible through traditional classroom instructions. The distinguishing characteristics of distant education is the separation of the instructor and students during the learning process. The communication of the subject matter is primarily to individuals rather than groups. As a consequence, the course content must be delivered by instructional media. The media may be primarily printed, as in the case of traditional correspondence course. Audiocassettes, videotapes, videodiscs, computer-based instructions, and interactive video courses can be sent to individual students. In addition, radio, broadcast television, telelectures, and teleconferences are utilized for “live” distant education. The latter two delivery systems allow for interactive instructions between the instructor and students.

Question: Telelectures and teleconferences allow for    _______.

A. no interactive instruction between the instructor and students

B. one-way instruction between the instructor and students

C. traditional correspondence course delivered by instructional media

D. interactive instructions between the instructor and student

As computers have become powerful tools for rapid and economic of production of picture, computer graphics has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing fields in computers scienee. It such used routinely in such diverse areas as business, industry, government, research, training, and madiecine.

One of of the initial uses of computer graphics and ultimately its greatest use, been as an aid to design, generally referred to as computer – aided degign (CAD). One of its greatest advantages is that designers can see how an object will lock after construction and make changes freely and much more quickly than with hands drafting. For three-dimensional rendering of machine parts, engineers rely heavily on CAD. Automobile, spacecraft, aerospace, and ship designers use CAD terluaiques to design vehicles and test their pertomance. Building designs are also created with computer graphics systems. Architect can design a building layout create a three-dimersional model, and even go for simulated “walk” through the rooms or around the outside of the building.

Business graphics is another rapidly growing are of computer graphics, where it is to create graphs, charts, and cost models summarize financial, statistical, msthematieal, scientific, and economic data. As an education aid, computer also has creative and commencial art applications, where it is used in advertissing, publishing and film productions, particulurly for computer animation, which is achieved by a sequential process.

According to the passage, engineers use CAD for ..........................

A. A simulated “walk” through modal rooms

B. Rendering machine parts

C. Making cost models

D. Advertising products
