Question

【題目】

Everybody knows Charlie Chaplin, a world-famous comedian(喜劇演員). While watching his films, people everywhere laugh until tears run down their faces.

Born in 1889, Chaplin grew up in a poor family. At the age of five, he began to act as a clown to make money and care for his sick mother. Despite the hard times in his early years, he had a clear goal: to become a great stage artist.

And Chaplin did become a great silent movie star years later. He knew what it meant to be poor and what it meant to be a nobody. The littletramp (流浪小子)he played in his films always has a black moustache(小胡子),wide-open eyes, a round black hat and large shoes. The tramp makes all kinds of stupid mistakes, but he never gives up his dream of becoming a great man. Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's silent films. It isn't what he says that makes people laugh. His comedy (喜劇) doesn't depend on words. It depends on little actions, which mean the same thing to people all over the world.

That was how Chaplin became one of the greatest comedians in the world. In his book, he told us how to succeed in life: "You have to believe in yourself. That's the secret."

【解析】

文章介紹的是著名的喜劇演員——查理·卓別林。卓別林生于1889年，雖然成長于一個貧窮的家庭，但從小就立志成為一名偉大的舞臺藝術家。他的喜劇并不依賴于文字。它取決于小小的動作，而這些動作對全世界的人都意味著同樣的事情。這就是卓別林如何成為世界上最偉大的喜劇演員之一。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。題干：卓別林什么時候開始扮演小丑的？根據第二段At the age of five, he began to act as a clown to make money and care for his sick mother.（5歲時，他開始扮演小丑來賺錢和照顧生病的母親。）可知，卓別林5歲開始扮演小丑，故填At the age of five。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。題干：他早年的目標是什么？根據第二段Despite the hard times in his early years, he had a clear goal: to become a great stage artist.（盡管早年生活艱難，但他有一個明確的目標：成為一名偉大的舞臺藝術家。）可知，他的早年目標是成為一名偉大的舞臺藝術家。故填To become a great stage artist。

【3】考查反義疑問句。題干：這個小流浪漢沒有放棄成為偉人的夢想，是嗎？根據第三段The tramp makes all kinds of stupid mistakes, but he never gives up his dream of becoming a great man.可知卓別林沒用放棄夢想。反義疑問句的回答要根據實際情況，放棄了就是Yes，沒有放棄就是No。故填No, he doesn't。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。題干：在卓別林的喜劇中，什么使人們發(fā)笑？根據第三段It isn't what he says that makes people laugh. His comedy (喜劇) doesn't depend on words. It depends on little actions, which mean the same thing to people all over the world.可知，讓人們發(fā)笑的不是卓別林的語言，而是小小的動作。故填Little actions。

【5】推理判斷題。題干：查理·卓別林是什么樣的人？根據整篇文章的介紹最后一句卓別林書中的話In his book, he told us how to succeed in life: "You have to believe in yourself. That's the secret."可知，卓別林既自信又樂觀。confident形容詞，自信的；optimistic形容詞，樂觀的。故填He is confident and optimistic。

這種回答問題類型的任務型閱讀一定要把題干理解透徹！只有明白了問的是什么，才能去文中找到細節(jié)，進而正確作答。1小題詢問的是卓別林什么時候開始扮演小丑的？在文中找到時間At the age of five，作答就可以了。還需要弄清楚問題的格式，便于準確的作答。3小題是反義疑問句，不僅要在文中找到細節(jié)he never gives up his dream of becoming a great man.還要用到反義疑問句的回答格式才能正確作答。
