4、 was rebuilt as the castle, of which the ruins exist today!

As far as I can tell, he’s the first American President to have one. That’s because the term“sense of humor”really wasn’t in

13、 common usage until the eighteen sixties and seventies. In the eighteen forties and fifties, it was called“the sense of the ridiculous”, and didn’t have the positive connotations(隱含意義)that“sense of humor”has today. Back then, what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule(譏笑). Funniness and cruelty w

14、ent hand in hand. Of course, they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well. Lincoln’s humor was very different because, for one thing, it was actually“humor”as what the word meant in his time. We don’t make the distinction between“wit(風(fēng)趣)”and“humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth cent

15、ury people did. Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic. It’s the difference we note now when we distinguish between“l(fā)aughing with”and“l(fā)aughing at”. Lincoln was much more about“l(fā)aughing with”than“l(fā)aughing at”. And when“l(fā)aughing at”, it was often himself he was teasi

16、ng. In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debate, when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced, Lincoln replied, referencing his plain looking, “Honestly, if I were two-faced, would I be showing you this one? ”And, in a way, Lincoln’s face itself tells us much about his sense of humor. You can comb thr

17、ough thousands of photographs of politicians, soldiers, and the like from Lincoln’s time and not find a single smile. True, the long exposures(曝光)required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult. Yet Lincoln alone, as far as I can tell, overcame that difficulty. Interestingly, while ha

18、ving a sense of humor, or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers, has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time, in the nineteenth century, too much humor was considered a problem. And that was the case for Lincoln. A journalist covering the Lincoln-D

19、ouglas debate commented that“I could not take a real personal liking to the man, owing to an inborn weakness for which he was even then notorious and so remained during his great public career, he was extremely fond of jokes, anecdotes, and stories. ” 【文章大意】說起第16任美國(guó)總統(tǒng)亞伯拉罕·林肯, 很多人會(huì)立即想起他對(duì)解放黑奴和維護(hù)美利堅(jiān)聯(lián)邦

20、完整所做出的巨大貢獻(xiàn), 想起他能言善辯的口才和妙語連珠的演講, 但卻很少有人知道, 林肯的“幽默感”也開創(chuàng)了一個(gè)新時(shí)代。 5. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that　　　. A. the American President could influence the use of English B. the term“sense of humor”wasn’t invented until the 1860s C. what is funny to someone might be offensive to someone else D. the co

21、ncept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time 【解析】選C。推理判斷題。根據(jù)該段中“didn’t have the positive connotations that‘sense of humor’has today(沒有今天幽默感所具有的積極的隱含意義)”和“Back then, what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule. (在當(dāng)時(shí), 好笑的事就是招致譏笑的事。)”可知C項(xiàng)正確。 6. The underlined words“this one”in Paragr

22、aph 4 refer to　　　. A. Lincoln’s unattractive face B. Lincoln’s sense of humor C. the debate they were having D. cruelty that went with funniness 【解析】選A。詞義猜測(cè)題。在林肯與道格拉斯的辯論中, 道格拉斯批評(píng)林肯是兩面派, 而林肯提到自己相貌平平(his plain looking), 接著指出“如果我是兩面派, 我還會(huì)向你展現(xiàn)我相貌平平的一面嗎”。這說明林肯很幽默。 7. We rarely see people from Linco

23、ln’s time wear a smile in their photos because　　　. A. being humorous was considered inappropriate B. they found it quite funny to smile before the camera C. not smiling for photographs was the fashion D. photography technology then was not advanced 【解析】選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從原文倒數(shù)第二段可知“當(dāng)時(shí)攝影時(shí), 照片曝光時(shí)間比較長(zhǎng), 這使得拍

24、照時(shí), 人們很難保持微笑”。 8. What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debate? A. His comment accurately reflected his time. B. He created a false picture of Lincoln. C. He was prejudiced and self-centered. D. He was brave to point out Lincoln’s weakness. 【解析】選A。推理判斷題。報(bào)道林

25、肯與道格拉斯的辯論的記者所說的話準(zhǔn)確地反映了當(dāng)時(shí)那個(gè)時(shí)代。 Ⅱ. 閱讀第二節(jié) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 (2020·大連模擬) Recently a group of second-graders visited our school library to work on a“holidays around the world”project.
