Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film by reporter who, whileinterviewing him, happened to describe the working conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin wastold that healthy young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines.Within four or five years, these young men’s health was destroyed by the stress of work in thefactories. The film opens with shot of mass of sheep making their way down crowded ramp. Abruptly, the film shifts to scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to afactory. However, the rather bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained. It isreplaced by gentle note of satire. Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture. Scenes of factory interiors account for only about one-third of Modern Times but theycontain some of the most pointed social commentary as well as the most comic situations. No onewho has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast-movingconveyor belt, almost losing his mind in the process. Another popular scene involves an automaticfeeding machine brought to the assembly line so that workers need not interrupt their labour toeat. The feeding machine malfunctions, hurling food at Chaplin, who is strapped in his position onthe assembly line and cannot escape. This serves to illustrate people’s utter helplessness in the faceof machines that are meant to serve their basic needs. Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within asocial context. It does not offer radical social message, but it does accurately reflect the sentimentof many whofeel they are victims of an over mechanized world.Question 13: The young farm boys went to the city because they were ___________ .A. attracted by the prospect of better life B. forced to leave their sheep farmC. driven out of their sheep farm D. promised better accommodationQuestion 14: According to the passage, the opening scene of the film is intended ___________ .A. to give the setting for the entire plot laterB. to introduce the main characters of the film C. to produce tacit associationD. to reveal the situation of the factory workersQuestion 15: The phrase jostling one another in the third paragraph is closest in meaningto ___________ .A. running against each other B. jogging side by sideC. hurrying up together D. pushing one anotherQuestion 16: The word vainly in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________ .A. carelessly B. effortlessly C. recklessly D. hopelesslyQuestion 17: The author refers to all of the following notions to describe Modern TimesEXCEPT ___________ .A. criticism B. entertainment C. satire D. revolutionQuestion 18: According to the author, about two-thirds of Modern Times ___________ .A. is rather discouraging B. entertains the audience mostC. was shot outside factory D. is more critical than the restQuestion 19: According to the passage, Chaplin got the idea for Modern Times from ___________ .A. movie B. fieldwork C. newspaper D. conversationRead the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or on your answer sheet to indicatethe correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks Some time ago, scientists began experiments to find out (20) _________ it would be possible toset up “village” under the sea. special room was built and lowered (21) _________ the water ofPort Sudan in the Red Sea.

Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering inthe natural environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature’sprovision is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practised for at least the last twomillion years. It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and thedomestication of wild animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago. Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins,their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such asdeserts and arctic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted theavailability of plant life. Such conditions have caused greater dependence on hunting, and onfishing along the coasts and waterways. The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of thetropics, on the other hand, has provided greater opportunity for gathering variety of plants. Inshort, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for thedevelopment of subsistence societies. Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. Weknow from the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that societybased on hunting and gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in acentral location, smaller party harvests the food within reasonable distance from the camp.When the food in the area has become exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site.We also notice seasonal migration patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with strictdivision of labor between the sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practicedby mankind during the Paleolithic Period.Question 43: According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on __________ .A. agricultural products B. hunter-gatherers’ toolsC. nature’s provision D. farming methodsQuestion 44: Which of the following would serve as the best title of the passage ?A.
