why when i use ezplot in for example [1 1.5] interval, a discontinuity will appear in some pieces of lines but when i use a closer interval like [1.3 1.5], the discontinuity will be annihilated?

EZPLOT is a general purpose plotting function that will automatically select a set of points at which to evaluate and plot the function you pass to it. Most of the time, things work fine. But there are some special cases where EZPLOT can have some trouble. It may not render well near discontinuities or points where there are rapid changes in the function (which it may mistake for a discontinuity).
That’s the drawback of a function that is designed to be general enough to accept any function you give it: it’s hard to make it general enough to handle everything exactly right, so some special edge cases look a little funny. In such cases, you should avoid functions like EZPLOT (which make a lot of choices for you) and plot things yourself by evaluating your functions at points you choose and plotting those points using the PLOT function. Here’s a helpful link for this.
