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 31 to 40. 
In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important 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 for many years. In 
wartime, for example, they 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 in 
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

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.

popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture is 
worth a thousand words.”
