When did Lincoln become president?
Stephen A. Douglas was the name of the candidate defeated by Abraham Lincoln in the 1860 presidential race. Nicknamed the "Little Giant", Douglas was short in stature but had a large head and shoulders.
It was only two years prior to the 1860 contest that Douglas defeated Lincoln in the Illinois senatorial race. During this campaign, the Lincoln-Douglas debates were popular throughout the whole country.
One reason Douglas was defeated in his bid for the presidential was the stand he took on the question of slavery. Southern Democrats, angry over his position, voted almost solidly for Lincoln.
Soon after the election of Lincoln in 1860, the Civil War began. Although Douglas had offered his services to the new president, he died from typhoid fever shortly after the beginning of the War.
选项
A、Because he felt strongly about slavery.
B、Because he was defeated by Lincoln for President.
C、Because he was short in stature but strong in frame.
D、Because his head was larger than his shoulders.
答案
C
解析
理解题。文章第二句话提到Nicknamed the“Little Giant”,Douglas was short in stature bur had a large head and shoulders.意思是:Douglas个子小,但是头和肩膀却很大,所以人送外号“小巨人”。所以答案C正确。
