On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went toGettysburg 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 thatLincoln 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 read 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.
Today, every American school child learnsLincoln’s Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
选项
A、Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address has deep meaning
B、Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is simple in style
C、Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is memorized by every American school child
D、Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is the greatest speech ever delivered in the United States
答案
D
解析
细节题。答案可以在文章的第三段和第四段找到。“他的演讲含义深刻、风格简朴;如今美国所有的在校生都能背诵他的演讲。”文章又谈到:“现在所有的人都认为他的演讲是美国历史上最好的演讲之一。”而不是美国最好的演讲。所以D是错误的。
