13．When you watch your favorite movies，you might not think about science．Of course，there's a lot of science behind movies like Interstellar or The Martian but not movies like Frozen or The Avengers，right？Think again．
Animated（动画）movies use a lot of science and math to make things look as real as possible．For example，snow was used in many parts of the movie Frozen，but making the snow look real was a challenge．The snow needed to act differently in different situations，like if it was melting （融化）or blowing in the wind．
Mathematicians（数学家）had to create a computer program to make the snow look more natural．Joseph Teran，a mathematician at the University of California，US，faced this challenge with Frozen，according to the Society for Science and the Public．
He and his team used math equations（等式）to treat snow like many different pieces instead of one large thing，as movies had done in the past．They worked for months to make a computer program do this．
Science is important for superhero movies too．Superheroes are supposed to have special powers that can't always be explained．But moviemakers still want to make their actions realistic （现实的）．
For example，Raychelle Burks，a chemistry professor from the American Chemical Society，told the Daily Mail that some of the science behind The Avengers could be real．Iron Man's suit is possible because it can be made of a light but strong material．In the movie，Tony Stark also makes new elements by making atoms collide（使原子对撞），much like scientists do in real life．
So next time you see a movie，don't forget to think about the science behind it．
34．A lot of science and math are used in animated movies toC．
A．make them like Interstellar and The Martian
B．make the audience think about science
C．make things as realistic as possible
D．make snow smelt or blow in the wind
35．How did people make the snow in Frozen look more natural？D
A．They had to create a new kind of computer．
B．They solved this problem with frozen technology．
C．They created some new math equations．
D．They used math knowledge to make a program．
36．The example of The Avengers in Paragraph 6is used to showB．
A．how superheroes have super powers
B．how science makes action realistic
C．Iron Man's suit is made of light materials
D．how Tony Stark makes new elements
37．What can we learn from the passage？B
A．Every movie should be made to look as realistic as possible．
B．Science and math play important roles in movie making．
C．Animated movies use less science than other movies．
D．Scientists can make things in movies become real．
