11、ingle line through the center. 10 On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak

12、at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere. It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his h

13、otel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for on

14、ly nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked,“I have failed again“. On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, “That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed“. Some newspapers at first criticized the speech, but little by littl

15、e as people redid the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.

20、 the early post-war era(战后时期 ), there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are facing with a

21、less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting(过分信任 )of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction(失灵 ). Obviously, there would b

22、e no point in investing(投入 )in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good

23、business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide , it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills. 16 What is the main purpose of this passage? （ A） To look back to

28、east nine hours. It s a hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes(as long as you re not held up at the airport), but its an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft if you dont mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise yo

29、u can go by boat, if you forget your sea-sickness ills. All these means of transport have their problems and the weary(不耐烦的 )traveler often dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car. “Not possible“ , you say. Well, wait a minute. People are once again considering the idea of a Channel t

30、unnel or bridge. This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London. A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only. Why is this id

31、ea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC(欧共体 )? Well, perhaps. The main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London s disused dockland(船坞地 ). A link from London to t

32、he continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize(使 重新有活力 )the port, and would make London a main trading centre in Europe.

39、oom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I

40、wasn t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.
