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 doesn’t depend on 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 eyebrows. 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 young men, he and his brother traveled to America as actors in a small company 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 used the items that made his reputation • the black hat, tight coat, big trousers, huge shoes, moustache and walking stick. He intended simply to make people laugh. But the odd disguises made him look both comic and sad.
    His appearance was a popular success, right from the beginning. But his early films didn’t have many stories. 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.
According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
选项 A、Chaplin was a homeless traveler.
B、Chaplin hardly did actions in films.
C、Chaplin amused his audience by his actions.
D、Chaplin always did the same actions in his films.
答案C
解析 根据第三段第二句“As young men, he and his brother traveled to America as actors in a small company and acted in various cities. ”可知，年轻时，卓别林和他的兄弟以一个小公司演员的身份到美国旅行，并在各个城市演出，但文中没有说卓别林是无家可归的漂泊者，所以A项不正确；根据第一段最后两句It isn’t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend on words of language, but on the little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world.…”可知，卓别林的喜剧不是依靠语言，而是依靠他的小动作来使人们发笑，所以C项正确，同时可排除B项；D项在文中并未提及。故选C。
