Abraham Lincoln turns 200 in 2009, and he’s beginning to show his age. When his birthday arrives, on February 12, Congress will hold a special joint session in the Capitols National Statuary Hall, a wreath will be laid at the great memorial in Washington, and a(n)【C1】______will link school classrooms for a "teach-in" 【C2】______his memory.
Admirable as they are, though, the events will strike many of us Lincoln fans as【C3】______, even halfhearted, and another sign that our appreciation for the 16th president and his【C4】______achievements is slipping away. And you don’t have to be a Lincoln enthusiast to believe that this is something we can’t afford to lose.
Compare this year’s celebration with the Lincoln【C5】______, in 1909. That year, Lincoln’s likeness【C6】______its debut on the penny, thanks to approval from the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. Communities and【C7】______associations in every corner of the country erupted in parades, concerts, balls, lectures, and military displays. We still feel the effects today: The momentum unloosed in 1909 led to the Lincoln Memorial, opened in 1922, and the Lincoln Highway, the first paved transcontinental thoroughfare.
The celebrants in 1909 had a few【C8】______we lack today. Lincoln’s presidency was still a【C9】______memory for countless Americans. In 2009 we are farther in time from the end of the Second World War than they were from the Civil War; families still felt the loss of loved ones from that awful national trauma.
But Americans in 1909 had something more: an unembarrassed appreciation for heroes and a(n)【C10】______sense of the way that even long-dead historical figures press in on the present and make us who we are.
A. took B. inadequate C. reviving D. alert
E. inspirations F. made G. civic H. living
I. century J. towering K. centennial L. webcast
M. honoring N. advantage O. acute
【C8】
选项
答案
E
解析
inspirations,语法题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。此处文意为“1909年的纪念活动比之今天要多了些什么”,根据a few的提示,这里的名词应当是复数形式,在所有选项中唯一合适的只有inspirations。此处译文为“1909年参加庆典的人拥有不少鼓舞人心之处恰恰是我们今天所缺少的”。
