27、 people. In fact, the admiration they have for him borders on worship. Writers note that the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. DC is not unlike the temples that ancient Greeks built in honor of their gods, and that annual ceremonies of celebrating Lincolns birthday in schools and public places have so
28、metimes had characteristics of religious services. Certainly Lincoln is Americas ideal of a great leader. He had many of the qualities of leadership that Americans admire. First of all, Lincolns career fits popular American belief that every child can dream of becoming president. Americans admire th
29、e person-the one who, with neither money nor family influence, fights his or her way to the top. Lincoln was born of poor parents. His mother died when he was young. He had little opportunity for schooling. His early study was done alone at night by the light of a fireplace. He did hard manual labor
30、 through the day-splitting rails for fences, taking care of livestock, working on riverboat or in store. But as he grew older he studied law in his spare time and become a lawyer. He was a good speaker and student of political philosophy. His ability finally made a name for him and eventually, he be
31、came president of the United States. Lincoln is also admired because of his leadership during the difficult period of the Civil War. He dared to do what he thought was right at a time when his beliefs were unpopular with many people. He, in a sense, represents the spirit of union among the states. B
32、efore the Civil War, the economy of the South depended on an agricultural system, which made use of slave labor. When reformers in the northern states put pressure on Congress not to permit to secede or withdraw from the United States, they argued that the question of slavery was a matter for the in
33、dividual states to decide rather than the federal government, and they did not want to accept its decision. The national government said that no state had the right to secede, and the Civil War was the result. If the south had won the war, the Unites States might well have been divided into several
34、countries. Lincoln worked hard to preserve the union, and the northern states were victorious. Furthermore, Lincoln had many personal qualities that made him dear to the hearts of his countrymen. He had infinite patience and tolerance for those who disagreed with him. As president, he appointed men
35、to high government positions whom he considered most capable, even though some of them openly scorned him. He was generous to his opponents. There are many stories about his thoughtful treatment of southern leaders. When the war was over, he showed the South no hatred. Since generosity toward a defe
36、ated opponent is admired by Americans, Lincoln fitted the national ideal of what is right. Shortly after the Civil War ended, Lincoln was shot while attending a play in Washington Theater. He died within a few hours. The uncontrolled emotional reaction of the nation to his death was almost unbelieva
37、ble and demonstrated the deep esteem in which he was held. Newspapers were edged with black; religious leaders gave praise of Lincoln instead of their prepared sermons. His funeral procession in Washington was miles long. Lincolns body was taken by train back to his former home in Springfield, Illin
38、ois, but in all the major cities through which the train passed, the coffin was paraded through streets lined with sorrowful thousands. In the small towns through which the train passed bells rang in honor of the dead president. Citizens lit torches along the railroad track to show their last respec
39、t. The circumstances of his death set Lincoln apart from other American leaders. Had Lincoln lived, it might well be that his postwar policies would have brought criticisms upon him that would have tarnished his popularity. Instead, an assassins bullet erased in the minds of Americans any faults he
40、had and emphasized his virtues. 46 What are the aspects that made Lincoln ideal of a great leader? （ A） Lincolns career and family. （ B） Lincoln was a self-made person. （ C） Lincolns leadership during the difficult period of the Civil War. （ D） His career, leadership, generosity and right time of de
41、ath. 47 Lincolns beliefs used to be _. （ A） unpopular with many people during the period of the Civil War （ B） welcomed by people in the South during the period of the Civil War （ C） worshipped by American people during the period of the Civil War （ D） popular with most American people during the pe
42、riod of the Civil War 48 From the last paragraph it could be inferred that _. （ A） American people like those who are generous to their opponents （ B） A president must be like a president （ C） Lincolns death was at a right time to him （ D） Lincoln is still popular with the American people 49 From th
43、e second paragraph we learn that _. （ A） a person who fights his or her way to the top will be president （ B） Americans believe that everyone can be president if he has ability （ C） anyone who has a difficult life in his early years can be successful （ D） difficult life makes a successful man 50 We
44、can infer from the passage that _. （ A） before the Civil War, the Northern states needed more slaves to work for them （ B） after the Civil War, there was a strong hatred from the Northern states against the Southern states （ C） before the Civil War, the Northern states had a better economic system t
45、han the Southern states （ D） before the Civil War, the Northern states had an economic system different from the Southern states 50 Although French, German, American and British pioneers have all been credited with the invention of cinema, the British and the Germans played a relatively small role i
46、n its worldwide exploitation. It was above all the French, followed closely by the Americans, who were the most passionate exporters of the new invention, helping to start cinema in China, Japan, Latin America and Russia. In terms of artistic development it was again the French and the Americans who
47、 took the lead, though in the years before the First World War, Italy, Denmark and Russia also played a part. In the end it was the United States that was to become, and remain, the largest single market for films. By protecting their own market and pursuing a vigorous export policy, the Americans a
48、chieved a dominant position on the world market by the start of the First World War. The centre of film-making had moved westwards, to Hollywood, and it was films from these new Hollywood studios that flooded onto the worlds film markets in the years after the First World War, and have done so ever
49、since. Faced with total Hollywood domination, few film industries proved competitive. The Italian industry, which had pioneered the feature film with spectacular films like Quo Vadis? (1913) and Cabiria (1914), almost collapsed. In Scandinavia, the Swedish cinema had a brief period of glory, notably with powerful epic films and comedies. Even the French cinema found itself in a difficult position. In Europe, only Germany proved industrially c
