VI. READING: Read the passage and then choose the best answer A, B, C, or D for the 
following questions. 
Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth- century technology is Modern Times made 
in 1936. Chaplin was motivated to make the films by a reporter who, while interviewing him, happened 
to describe 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. 
Scenes of factory interiors account for less than one-third of the footage of Modern Times, but they 
contain some of the film’s most pointed social commentary as well as its funniest comic situation. 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. 
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 accurately reflects the sentiments of many who 
felt they were helpless victims of an over-mechanized world. 
Question 36: The author’s main purpose of writing the passage is to ________________________. 
A. explain Chaplin’s style of acting. 
B. describe an important film. 
C. criticize the factory system in the 1930s. 
D. discuss how film reveals the benefits of technology. 
Question 37: According to the passage, Chaplin got the idea for the film Modern Times 
from_____________________. 
A. a job he had once held B. a newspaper article 
C. a conversation with a reporter. D. a scene in a movie 
Question 38: The author would probably use all the following words to describe the film Modern Times 
Except______________. 
A. memorable B. fashionable C. humorous D. revolutionary 
Question 39: The word” faults” means ___________________. 
A. advantages B. values C. flaws D. responsibilities
