Part II Reading Comprehension (15 minutes)
Passage 1
Filmmaking at the beginning of the twentieth century was in its infancy. The techniques at that time could only show people and objects as they were, with an occasional photo-graphic trick. So to imagine people gathering together at a theater to e a movie that was entirely silent is a bit incredulous (怀疑的carbondioxidejump是什么) to us now. But that was the reality of the early twentieth century.
Films with sound did not appear until 1928. After all, radio had just made its commercial debut (初次上市的) on November 2, 1920. The previous century produced many greats in the arts. And yet few would argue that Charlie Chaplin was probably the greatest of all.
For tho who have no interest in what is perceived as outdated, silent film has little attraction. This is unfortunate, as it was the product of a day when true ability could not b
e faked. There were no computer graphics (图形) to shock the audiences. The photography was not nearly as good as today and the films were in black and white. Sound had yet to be added. There was just the playing of an organ by an employee of the theater. More amazingly, Chaplin wrote his own scripts as well as produced and directed his own work. He often did his own editing. It was all up to him, and no sound or visual phenomenon could help.
lectThere was more. Chaplin proved, when sound came to films, to be a productive compor. Some of his music has gained widespread recognition, such as "Smile", from Modern Times and "This Is My Song" from one of his lesr known films, A Countess from Hong Kong. But the most beautiful is "Eternally(永恒地)" , the opening theme of Limelight. It became so widely known as one of the great Chaplin compositions that it was played at many of his professional appearances, including his Academy Award acceptance of 1972.
1. The most beautiful song written by Chaplin come from ________.
A. Modern Times B. A Countess from Hong Kong
C. Limelight D. "Eternally"
2. Filmmaking at the beginning of the 1920s ________.
A. was in its early time B. was very advanced
C. was developing very fast D. was very complicated
