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.
The secret of Chaplin’s success is that he created a character who________.

选项 A、faints away on the floor, trying to be brave
B、behaves as if he were a rich, successful, important man
C、straightens his coat or swings his walking stick in the air
D、hides behind a fat lady or climbs under a table to escape from his enemies

答案B

解析 根据第二段最后两句“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.”可知,卓别林获得巨大成功的秘诀就是他创造了一个角色,这个角色假装自己是一个富有的、成功的、重要的人。故选B。
