Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth-century technology is Modern Times, made in 1936 Charlie

Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing him, happened to describe the working conditions in industrial Detroit Chaplin was told 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 the factories The film opens with a shot of a mass of sheep making their way down a crowded ramp

Abruptly, the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory However, the rather

bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained It is replaced by a gentle note of satire Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture

Trang 2

Scenes of factory interiors account for only about one-third of Modern Times, but they contain some of the most pointed

social commentary as well as the most comic situations No one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying

to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt, almost losing his mind in the process Another popular scene involves an automatic feeding machine brought to the assembly line so that workers need not interrupt their labour to eat The feeding machine malfunctions, hurling food at Chaplin, who is strapped in his position on the assembly line and cannot escape This serves to illustrate people’s utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to serve their basic needs

Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a social context It does not

offer a radical social message, but it does accurately reflect the sentiment of 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 a better life B forced to leave their sheep farm

C driven out of their sheep farm D promised better accommodation

Question 14: According to the passage, the opening scene of the film is intended

A to give the setting for the entire plot later B to introduce the main characters of the film

C to produce a tacit association D to reveal the situation of the factory workers

Question 15: The phrase “jostling one another” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to

A running against each other B jogging side by side

Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practised for at least the last two million years It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming

and the domestication 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 as deserts and arctic wastelands In higher latitudes, the

shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant life Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on

hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and waterways The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies

Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors We know from the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a 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 a strict division of labor between the sexes These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period

A the situations in which hunter-gatherers hardly find anything to eat

B the situations in which hunter-gatherers can grow some crops
