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 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 hotel 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 only 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 little 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.

16、 阅读材料，回答16-35题。

As any rniddleelass parent knows, unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable introduction to a secure job. The government has recognized it too, abandoning rules in 2011 that had formerly stopped 16 to 24-year-olds from doing unpaid work while claiming unemployment benefit. But moving from that to forcing them to work without pay in order to collect these benefits has proved a big step.

More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the highest number since themid-1955s. Keen both to cut the welfare bill and to avoid the depressed future wages that may resuit from early unemployment, the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get youngsters off welfare and into work. A key part of it is ensuring that no one gets benefit from the government for long; ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early-1955s recession(衰退), when unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after the economy began to improve.

To help young people into work, ministers had persuaded lots of employers, including bakerychains, bookshops and supermarkets, to take on unemployed youths, who receive work experience but no pay, with the prospect of a proper job for those who shine. Some 35,000 youngsters participated last year; half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme.

The idea of getting young adults used to showing up for work is popular with voters: according to a survey published in February, about 60% of people support the program. Equally attractive was the option of compelling them to work. Under the existing arrangements youngsters could choose whether or not to accept a place, but if they dropped out after the end of the first week, they stood to lose up to two weeks’ benefits.

Yet the scheme has also polarized(两极分化的) opinion a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noisy "Right to Work" campaign that accused employers of cooperating secretly with the government in "forced labor", several firms dropped out of the program. To pre-vent this from getting worse, Clads Grayling, an employment minister, admitted that young people could leave their work experience at any time without being punished for doing so. This not only halted the flight of employers ( for now, at least) but also enabled him to announce that new firrns have agreed to take part in the program.

According to the passage, young people in Britain________

A.are used to showing up for work

B.value unpaid work very much

C.are always opposed to unpaid work

D.could learn .something about job security through unpaid work

17、 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?________

A.Most voters support the government’s effort to help young people to work.

B.Some people protest against the government’s attempt to force young people to work.

C.There are more than one million young people who took part in the program.

D.There are more than one million young people who are jobless.

18、 According to the author, the British government is trying to ________

A.punish young people if they are not cooperating with it

B.reform the unemployed youngsters

C.avoid the economic slowdown

D.reduce welfare spending

19、 The word "shine" in Paragraph 3 means________

21、 阅读材料，回答21-40题。

If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still bereading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.

The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what news is what affects our lives the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feeling really are.

It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read sports and international news, etc.

I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than picture son a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

What is the best title for the passage?

A.The Best Way to Get News

B.The Changes of Media

C.Make Your Own Newspaper

D.The Future of Newspaper

22、 In the writer’s opinion, in the future, ______

A.more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news

B.newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer

C.newspapers will cover more scientific research

D.more and more people will watch TV

23、 What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?

A.Sports and international news.

B.A menu of important news.

C.The most important news.

D.What you are interested in.

24、 From the passage, we can infer ______

A.newspapers will win the competition among the different media

B.newspapers will stay with us together with other media

C.television will take the place of newspaper

D.the writer believe some media will die out

25、 The underlined phrase "feed off" in the last paragraph means ______

A.depend on

B.compete with

C.fight with

D.kill off

Television has changed the lifestyle of people in everyindustrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologistshave studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.

Television, although not essential, has become an importantpart of most people’s lives. It alters people's ways of seeing the World; inmany ways, it supports and sustains(维持) modem life. Televisionhas become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitterof culture and a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in oneday is critically .analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not ateacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of programming does not elevate( 提高)people into greater, understanding, but rather maintains and encouragesthe life as it exists.

The primary reason for the lack of quality in Americantelevision is related to both the history of TV programming development and theeconomics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companiesand their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationshipwhich the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American.TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actuallyproduced the programs. Thus, in American society, television is primarilyconcerned" with reflecting and attracting society rather thanexperimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewingaudience possible'. To do so requires that the programs be entertaining ratherthan educational, attractive rather than challenging.

Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with thesame organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope forfurther development and true achievement-toward improving society will requirea change in the entire system.

A.advertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideas

B.it is still at an early stage of development, compared withthe radio

C.the programs have to be developed in the interests of thesponsors for economic reasons

D.it is controlled by radio companies

27、 The second paragraphis mainly about________

A.TV as the sustainer of American life

B.TV as the major transmitter of culture

C.the educational effect of TV on society

D.the strong influence and the poor quality of American TV

28、 In the author’s view American TV should________

A.be critical but entertaining

B.be creative and educational

C.change with the development of society

D.attract as many viewers as possible

29、 The author believes that television in the United Stateshas become important to most people because________

A.it promotes family unity

B.it helps them develop their speaking ability

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWERSHEET.

61、The one thing all children have in common is their rights. Every child has the fight to survive and thrive, to be educated, to be free from violence and abuse, to participate and to be heard. These are innate human rights, as inalienable as those held by adults. But until 1989, these fights were not formally articulated in a legally binding instrument, nor were governments fully accountable to advance these rights for every child. This all changed 25 years ago, on Universal Children's Day, when the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It rapidly became the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history.
