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 36 to 45. 
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 o...n you see Chinese cartoons. 
This is not their primary aim. 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. They offer 
a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular 
country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of 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 of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to 
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. 
Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the 
popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture is 
worth a thousand words.” 
Question 36: Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons? 
A. Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness. B. Seriousness, propaganda, and attractiveness. 
C. Humour, unexpectedness, and criticism. D. Originality, freshness, and astonishment. 
Question 37: Chinese cartoons have been useful as an important means of______. 
A. educating ordinary people B. spreading Western ideas 
C. amusing people all the time D. political propaganda in wartime 
Question 38: The major differences between Chinese cartoons and Western cartoons come from 
their ______. 
A. purposes B. nationalities C. values D. styles 
Question 39: The pronoun “this” in paragraph 4 mostly refers to ______. 
A. a piece of art B. an ed
