feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is

contained Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close

observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose

Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters tor

many years In wartime, for example, the proved to be an excellent way of

spreading propaganda Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp

comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters In

this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force influencing

people-in Europe and the United States

Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese

cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially

those who could not read and write Such cartoons about the lives and sayings ot

great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate

and semi-literate people throughout China Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all

appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons The cartoon^

themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in

very attractive way v^m im'j

In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so

far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes Often, there is nothing to laugh a'

gages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture

Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to the East and not vice versa By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West

Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius's famous saying "One picture is worth a thousand words."

Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes This method o f

•larvesting from nature's provision is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has '^een practised for at least the last two million years It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication o f w i l d animals were 'itroduced about 10,000 years ago

Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison w i t h their Agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to

m

UlITliTianh CPbl IM Ann van - iviyu van ivimii

live in marginal environments, such as deserts and arctic wastelands In higher

latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability o f plant life

Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing

along the coasts and waterways The abundance o f vegetation in the lower latitudes

o f the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a

variety o f plants In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet

and have limited possibilities for the development o f subsistence societies

Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric

ancestors We know from the observation o f modern hunter-gatherers in botii

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 w i t h i n 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

w i t h a strict division o f labor between the sexes These patterns o f behavior may be

similar to those practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period - !*;

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 front 51 to 60

Probably the most famous f i l m 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 o f work in the factories *, The f i l m opens with a shot o f a mass o f sheep making their way down a crowded ramp

Abruptly, the film shifts to a scene o f factory workers jostling one another on

their way to a factory However, the rather bitter note o f criticism in the implied

f 189

Giii nhanh CDBT TN Anh Van - NgO Van Minh

comparison is not sustained I t is replaced by a gentle note o f satire Chaplin

prefers to entertain rather than lecture

Scenes o f factory interiors account for only about one-third o f Modern Times,

but they contain some o f the most pointed social commentary as w e l l as the most

comic situations N o one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly

trying to keep pace w i t h 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 labor 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 o f machines that are meant to serve their basic needs

Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating

technology w i t h i n a social context It does not offer a radical social message, but it

does accurately reflect the sentiment o f many who feel they are victims o f an

overmechanised w o r l d , r i

(73) a depth of 40 feet At a (74) lower level, another two divers stayed

for a week in a smaller "house" On returning to the surface, the men said that they

had experienced no difficulty in breathing and had (75) many interesting

scientific observations The captain of the party Commander Cousteau, spoke of

the possibility of (76) the seabed He said that some permanent stations were

to be set up under the sea, and some undersea farms would provide food for the

growing population of the world

The divers in both "houses" spent most of their time (77) the bottom of the

sea On four occasions, they went down to 360 feet and observed many

extraordinao- (78) of the marine life, some of which had never been seen before During

their stay Commander Cousteau and his divers reached a depth of 1,000 feet and

witnessed a gathering of an immense (79) of crabs which numbered, perhaps,

Reading to oneself is a modern activity whicii was almost unknown to thi;

scholars o f the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth centuO

the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud Only during the nineteeiitl'

century did silent reading become commonplace

One should be wary, however, o f assuming that silent reading came aboi't

simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others Examinations o f factors'

related to the historical development o f silent reading have revealed that it becanT-'

the usual mode o f reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselv-'S

changed in character

204

The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number readers As the number o f readers increased, the number o f potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud A s reading for the benefit o f listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing o f reading

gs a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud w o u l d cause distraction to other readers

Towards the end o f the century, thefe was still considerable argument over w^hether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over vvhether the reading o f materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally yveakening Indeed, this argument remains w i t h us still in education However, vvhatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialized readership on the other

By the end o f the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, i f not impossible, for the o r a l reader The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term "reading" implied

Cau 26: Reading aloud was more common in the medieval w o r l d because

A few people could read to themselves

B there were few places available for private reading

C silent reading had not been discovered J

D people relied on reading for entertainment ' Cau 27: The word "commonplace" in the first paragraph mostly means " "

A attracting attentions B for everybody's use

C most preferable D widely used Cau 28: The development o f silent reading during the last century indicated

• iCKwa ^

A an increase in the number o f books

B an increase in the average age o f readers s

C a change in the status o f literate people i , •

mjP- a change in the nature o f reading vml?

•-" u 29: Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because o f

A the decreasing need to read aloud B the development o f libraries

| C the increase in literacy D the decreasing number o f listeners

i u 30: It can be inferred that the emergence o f the mass media and specialized

f ' r e a d i n g materials was an indication o f

I A a decline o f standards o f literacy ' f i r / / ' * ^ I'B a change in the readers' interest s [\ •

I an improvement o f printing techniques ast; i ;

D an alteration in educationalists' attitudes a

205

C a u 3 1 : The phrase "a specialized readership" in paragraph 4 mostly means

A a status for readers specialized in mass media

B a limited number o f readers in a particular area o f knowledge i ' J ' > » « - i ' { '

C a requirement for readers in a particular area o f knowledge

D a reading volume for particular professionals

C a u 32: The phrase "oral reader" in the last paragraph mostly means "a person

who "

" A takes part in an audition B is good at public speaking

C is interested in spoken language D practises reading to an audience

C a u 33: A l l o f the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of

the old shared literacy culture EXCEPT

A the inappropriate reading skills B the printed mass media

C the diversity o f reading materials D the specialized readership

C a u 34: Which o f the f o l l o w i n g statements is N O T T R U E according to the

passage?

A Reading aloud was more common in the past than it is today

B The decline o f reading aloud was wholly due to its distracting effect

C The change in reading habits was partly due to the social, cultural and

technological changes

D N o t all printed mass media was appropriate for reading aloud

C a u 3 5 : T h e writer of this passage is attempting to

B explain how reading habits have developed

A t the beginning o f the nineteenth century, the American educational system

^as desperated in need o f reform Private schools existed, but only for the very rich There were very few public schools because o f the strong sentiment that children w h o would grow up to be laborers should not "waste" their time on education but should instead prepare themselves for their life's w o r k It was in the face o f this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task Horace Mann, probably the most famous o f the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in

a republic for any citizen to be uneducated As Superintendent o f Education in the state o f Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality o f teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening o f the system

Cau 21: The best title for the passage could be

A The Beginning o f Reform in American Education ${

• B Nineteenth - the Century o f Reform

C A Fight for Change

D American Education in the Beginning o f the 19"' Century r Cau 22: The passage implied that to go to a private school, a student needed

A a high level o f intelligence B a strong educational background

C a lot o f money D good grades

Cau 23: The word "desperately" in the passage mostly means

A obviously B urgently C completely D partly >;

Cau 24: The author o f the passage puts the word "waste" in quotation marks

It is hard to think of a w o r l d without gas or electricity Both are commonly used for lighting and heating today We now can instantly flick a l i g h t e r or strike a match to make a flame But it was not long ago that there were no such things as matches or lighters T o make fire, it was necessary to strike a piece of iron on flint for sparks to ignite some tinder I f the tinder was damp, or the flint o l d , y o u had to

borrow some fire from a neighbour

We do not know exactly when or how people first used fire Perhaps, many ages

ago, they found that sticks would burn i f they were dropped into some hole where melted lava from a volcano lay boiling They brought the lighted sticks back to

make their fire in a cave Or, they may have seen trees catch fire through being

struck by lightning, and used the trees to start their o w n fires

I Gradually people learned they could start a fire without traveling far to find

flames They rubbed t w o pieces o f wood together This method was used for thousands o f years When people became used to making w i t h which to cook food and stay warm at night, they found that certain resins or gums from trees burnt longer and brighter They melted resins and dipped branches in the liquid to make torches that lit their homes at night Iron stands in which torches used to be fixed can still be seen in old buildings o f Europe

There was no lighting in city streets until gas lamps, and then electric lamps Were installed Boys ran about London at night carrying torches o f burning

•Tiaterial They were called torch boys, or link boys, and earned a l i v i n g by guiding

visitors to friends' houses at night
