问题    Even people who don’ t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’ s films because they are almost silent. It isn’ t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy(喜剧)doesn’ t depend upon words of language, but on the little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world.
   In his films, Chaplin raises his thick black eyebrow(眉毛). He straightens his coat or swings his walking stick in the air. He hides behind a fat lady or climbs under a table to escape from his enemies. Trying to be brave, he faints away on the floor. He pretends to be what he is not and never could be—a rich, successful, important man. It is the secret of Chaplin’s huge success.
   He discovered the character of the little tramp almost by accident. As a young man, he and his brother traveled to America in a small company of actors and acted in various cities. One day Chaplin was invited to join a new company that was making comedies. It was in his second film that he wore the clothes that made his reputation: black hat, tight coat, big trousers, huge shoes, moustache(胡须.)and walking stick. He intended simply to make people laugh. But the odd disguises(扮相)made him look both comic and sad.
   His appearance was a popular success, right from the beginning. But his early films hadn’ t much story. They were full of actions. The little man played fast-moving games of hide-and-seek with his enemies, racing down city streets, jumping on trains, and boating down rivers.
With the help of his odd appearance, Chaplin intended to look______.

选项 A、rich
B、funny
C、successful
D、impressive

答案B

解析 推理判断题。根据文章第三段倒数第二句“He intended simply to make people laugh.”可知,卓别林古怪的扮相只是为了让观众开心。由此可推知,他的古怪 扮相是为了让自己看上去更有趣(funny),从而取悦观众。A项意为“富有的”,C项 意为“成功的”,D项意为“令人印象深刻的”,均不正确。
