At any other time and place, this lowly origin would have dictated his future, but in Lincolns case, his self-determination and force of will made it possible for him to secure his seat in his countrys history. He has become a role model in the self-made America.If you want to learn about somebody who didnt quit, look no further. Abraham Lincoln had two business ventures failed, and the second one made him bankrupt, so he had to spend the next 17 years of his life paying for the debt. He also lost 8 different elections. It seemed that he had never done things right at the first time: the first time he ran for state legislature for Congress, for land officer, for Senate, all of these failed, and the first time he sought the vice-presidential nomination, he got less than 100 votes nationally. But he never found it too shameful to carry on his mission. Then later in 1860, on such a rough road, he made it to the White House. He lived up to his famous saying, “Always bear in mind that your own determination to success is more important than any other.”He could have quit many times-but he didnt and because he didnt quit ，he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of America. One important way Lincoln influences present society is that we look back on his life as a role model for future generations. Lincolns high character influences us because we compare present-day politicians to the example Lincoln set. A major influence Lincoln has on the united States today is simply through the good example he set when it came to honesty, persistence and leadership.36.According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is true?A.Lincoln was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.B.Like Lincoln, a poor origin leads to a bright future.C.America is considered self-made because of Lincoln.D.Self-determination and will contributed to Lincolns success.【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据 but in Lincolns case, his self-determination and force of will made it possible for him to secure his seat in his countrys history.可知是林肯的决心和意志导致他的成功。故选 D。37.What is Paragraph Two mainly about?A.How Lincoln made his way to the White House.B.Lincoln suffered various failures.C.Lincoln was a man who never quit.D.Lincoln once lost two business ventures.【答案】C【解析】段落大意题。根据 If you want to learn about somebody who didnt quit, look no further.可知林肯是个不放弃的人。故选 C。38.Which is the correct order of what happened to Lincoln?a.
