49、assage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Although there had been an astonishing variety of small cameras developed in the 1880s, it was not until George Eastman introduced the Kodak in 1888 that the mass appeal of photography seized America and Europe and thereafter spread q

50、uickly to the far corners of the earth. Eastman called his now famous camera the Kodak for no particular reason except that he liked the word. It was easy to remember and could be pronounced in any language.An immediate consequence of Eastmans invention was a number of amateur（業(yè)余的） photographs that

51、soon became known as snapshots. The word was borrowed from hunters jargon. When a hunter fired a gun from the hip, without taking careful aim, it was described as a snapshot.

56、edible.Photography has played an essential role in the media revolution. It has vastly enhanced our ability to convey information, so that the concept of the global village has become a commonplace. Photographs have immediately extended our understanding of and compassion for our fellow human beings.Did Mr. Eastman have the faintest idea of the power residing in his “l(fā)ittle black box”?31.
