In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh The important
feature o f all these cartoons is the j o k e and the element o f surprise which is
contained Even thougli it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close
obscr\ation o f a particular feature o f life and usually has a serious purpose
Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for
man\ In wartime, for example, the proved to be an excellent way ot
spreading propaganda Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp
Cty TNHH MTV DVVH Khang Vt^t
^ornm^nX?, on politics and governments as well as on a variety o f 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 o f great men in China have proved e,\tremely 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 o f cartoons The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings o f the Chinese sages in a very attractive v\ay
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 at when you see Chinese cartoons This is not their primaiy arm In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible among the people
Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge The\r a very attractive and useful way o f reaching people throughout the world, regardless o f the particular country in which they live Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings o f the old Chinese philosophers and sages 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 o f knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to the East and not vice versa By means o f 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 o f these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth o f Confucius's famous saying "One picture is worth a thousand words."
Question 31: Which o f the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons?
A Originality, freshness, and astonishment
B Humour, unexpectedness, and criticism
C Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness ' '
D Seriousness, propaganda, and attractiveness
Question 32: Chinese cartoons have been useful as an important means o f
A educating ordinary people B spreading Western ideas
C political propaganda in wartime D amusing people all the time
Question 33: Fhe major differences between Chinese cartoons and Western
^srtoons come from their

I hated piano lessons at school, hut 1 was good at music And coming back to
it with a teacher who could explain wh} certain exercises were useful and with
musical concepts that, at the age o f t e n 1 could never grasp, was magical Initially,
I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that Td played for my school exams

fingers, and suddenly 1 could understand why practice makes perfect ^ ,

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 from 41 to 50
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
900
Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors We know from the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both
^frica and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very
^obile While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party l^arvests 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 practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period
Question 41: The word "domestication" in the first paragraph mostly means
A teaching animals to do a particular job or activity in the home • i !
B hatching and raising new species of wild animals in the home
C making wild animals used to living with and working for humans
D adapting animals to suit a new working environment
Question 42: According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on
A agricultural products B hunter-gatherers' tools
ijjjl'C nature's provision D farming methods ' > >'
Question 43: The word "marginal" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning
to " "
A suburban B abandoned C forgotten D disadvantaged
Question 44: In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter-gatherers
A have better food gathering from nature
C harvest shorter seasonal crops
D live along the coasts and waterways for fishing
Question 45: According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence
societies can provide a
^ B A broader vision of prehistoric natural environments "• ' '
H | B deeper insight into the dry-land farming t
C further understanding of modern subsistence societies ^
D further understanding of prehistoric times ,,,
Question 46: The word "conditions" in the second paragraph refers to

Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English
hospitals, still less the content o f quality o f that education Proper records are just
not kept
We know that more than 850 000 children go through hospital each year, and
that ever\d o f school age has a legal right to continue to receive education
while in hospital We also k n o w there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000
children in hospital
Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type o f hospital
teaching available d i f f e r a great deal across the country It found that h a l f the
hospitals in lingland which admit children have no teacher A further quarter have
onl\ part - time teacher The special children's hospitals in major cities do best;
general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst o f f

contact w i t h a hospital teacher - and that contact may be as little as 2 hours a day
Most children inter\iewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all They
had not been prepared for it b\s or their o w n school I f there was a teachcf
