Part 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (Each item: 2) Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Question
30、s 71 to 75 are based on the same passage or dialog.Charlie Chaplin has broken all records in making people laugh. No one has so set a whole world laughing as the little man with the walking stick and the oversized shoes. Much has been written about Chaplins art and his career, and opinions have rang
31、ed widely. But perhaps those who called him “the truest human being of our time“ came closest to the truth. Those who have called him a genius stress the timeless and common qualities in his work. It is an art filled with sad elements and deep human feeling, with which an audience cannot help but be
32、come involved. It is for these reasons, I believe, that the figure of Charlie has attracted generation after generation. All the writers who give accounts of Chaplins life agree that Charlies unhappy early years in the area in London where houses were dirty and worn had a great influence on his deve
33、lopment and on the type of films he made. Chaplin himself emphasizes it in his memoirs (回忆录). The more one reads about his earliest period, the more one tends to agree. Indeed, his suffering youth had a lasting influence on him. Chaplin was never afraid to deal with subjects causing much disagreemen
34、t in his films. He gave a humorous performance on war only a few weeks before the American soldiers came home from World War I in 1918. This was regarded as madness, but the performance was well received. So perfectly did it hit the nail on the head that even the returning soldiers found it impossib
35、le to hate it and deeply appreciated this short and humorous performance on what for them had been an unpleasant reality. Chaplin gave numerous performances attacking capital governments, satirizing (讽刺) the cruelty of the machine age, and even making fun of Hitler. Years after his death, the funny
36、films of motion picture actor and director Charlie Chaplin continue to be well loved. He is particularly well known for his success as a creator of humorous presentations that make fun of people, the establishment, or networks. 71. All of the following about Charlie Chaplin are true except _.A. he w
37、as born in the USAB. he was a great film actorC. he had an unhappy early lifeD. he made fun of Hitler in one of his films72. According to the author, Charlie Chaplin has been well loved by generation after generation because _.A. he set the whole world laughingB. his performances get people involved
38、C. his works appeal to people in different periodsD. both B and C73. According to the writers of Charlie Chaplins life history, _ had a strong influence on the type of films he made.A. the society in which he livedB. the audience who praised and admired himC. his unhappy early years in the poor area
39、 in LondonD. those who called him a genius74. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. There are timeless qualities in Chaplins work because he didnt involve himself in political affairs.B. Chaplin became well loved years after his death.C. Chaplins performance is funny without an
40、y sad elements.D. Chaplins films are the combinations of funny and sad elements.75. This passage was _.A. written by Charlie ChaplinB. written about Charlie ChaplinC. advertising one of Charlie Chaplins filmsD. written for students to learn film-makingQuestions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage
41、 or dialog.Television carries more national advertising than any other medium in the United States. The same is true in some smaller countries such as Spain and Portugal, where it is the only medium reaching a general national audience. In many countries, (Sweden and Denmark, for example) the state-
42、owned television accepts no advertising. In many other countries the amount of commercial (商业广告) time is very much limited, as in France, Germany, and Italy. Russian state-owned television began accepting a limited amount of advertising in 1988. The chief reason that television is so well liked amon
43、g United States advertisers is that it reaches a vast number of people at the same time. While it can cost well over 100,000 dollars, a 30-second commercial on network television can be seen and heard by as many as 25 million viewers. For companies that must make prospects aware of their products an
44、d convince them of their benefits immediately, there is nothing as efficient as television advertising. Because it employs motion as well as words, pictures, sounds, and music, television is a valuable medium for products that lend themselves to demonstration. No other medium is as effective in show
45、ing how quickly an automobile can move or how well a certain type of wristwatch will stand up under heavy use and continue to run. In the same way, it is an ideal medium for showing how some products can make a person feel better about him- or herself, such as long-distance telephone calls. 76. Acco
46、rding to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. There is less advertising on TV in Spain than in Sweden.B. One can never see any commercial on TV in Denmark since it is not accepted at all.C. The amount of commercial time is very much limited in most European countries.D. French p
47、eople dont have to worry about being troubled by commercials.77. According to the passage, what is the main reason United States advertisers like television so much?A. It communicates information more quickly.B. Every household has at least one TV set.C. It communicates information to a vast number
48、of people at the same time.D. American people love watching TV more than reading.78.
