听力原文: Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin in Kentucky on February 12, 1809. When he was a small boy, his family moved to file frontier of Indiana. Here, his mother taught him to read and write.
When Lincoln was a young man, his family moved to the new state of Illinois. Lincoln had to earn a living at an early age, but in his leisure time he studied law. He soon became one of the best known lawyers in the state capital at Springfield, Illinois. It was here that Lincoln became famous for his debates with Stephen A. Douglas on the subject of slavery.
In 1860, Lincoln was elected President of the United States. He was the candidate of the new Republican Party. This party opposed the creation of new slave states. Soon after his election, some of the Southern states withdrew from the Union and set up the Confederate States of America. This action brought on the terrible Civil War which lasted from 1861 to 1865.
On January 1, 1863, during the war, Lincoln issued his famous Emancipation Proclamation. In 1865, after the war ended, the Thirteenth Amendment was added to the Constitution of the United States. This amendment put an end to slavery everywhere in the United States.
Early in 1865, the Civil War came to an end with the defeat of the South by the North. Only a few days after the end of the war, Lincoln was shot by an actor named John Wilkes Booth. The President died on April 14, 1865. In his death, the world lost one of the greatest men of all time.

听力原文: Lee Harvey Oswald, a 24-year-old former Marine, was being transferred from police headquarters to the county jail. The man accused of murdering the US President, John F. Kennedy, has himself been shot dead in a Dallas police station.
The event was being covered live on television, and Americans across the country watched in astonishment as a man -- later identified as Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner -- stepped forward, drew a gun and shot Mr. Oswald at point-blank range.
An ambulance rushed Mr. Oswald to the Parkland Hospital -- the same hospital which had fought to save President Kennedy's life two days earlier -- but he died within minutes of his arrival.
He was arrested about an hour after the murder, carried out as the President's motor queue passed through the Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
He was initially accused of the murder of a policeman, JD Tippit, who appears to have recognized him and approached him just 45 minutes after the killing of the President. Soon after, Mr. Oswald was also charged with the President's murder.
But, police gave no explanation of how Jack Ruby came to be in the police headquarters. The building had been under heavy guard after several calls making threats against Oswald's life.
Ruby came to Dallas from Chicago 10 years ago. He runs a downtown club, and is said to have links with organised criminals. Police said Ruby had told them, "1 didn't want to be a hero -- I did it for Jacqueline Kennedy. "They said he wanted to spare the president's wife accused of killing her husband.
(30)
A.Lee Harvey Oswald.
B.Jack Ruby.
C.JD Tippit.
D.The president's wife.

The entire assets of one of these huge families often amounted, in the beginning, to little more than an axe, a hunting knife, an auger, a rifle, a horse or two, some cattle and a few pigs, a sack of seed com and another of salt, perhaps a crosscut saw, and a loom. Those who moved first into a new region lived for months at a time on wild meat, Indian maize, and native fruits in season. Yet if they were poor at the beginning, they confidently expected that soon they would be rich.
In a way almost impossible to define to urban dwellers, a slice of ground suitable for farming represented not just dollars and cents, but dignity. The obsession brought shiploads of yearners (渴求者) every week to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charles Town and Savannah. It sent them streaming westward into the wilderness after their predecessors to raise still more children who wanted still more land.
What kind of stylistic device did the author use in the phrase "as pine roots cracking granite to grow"?
A.Metaphor.
B.Simile.
C.Personification.
D.Imagination.

To: "The Shoe People" < inquiries@shoepeople. com >
From: "John Trimbald" <jtconstruction@img. com>
Subject: Customer Complaint
To Whom It May Concern,
I have trusted the Shoe People to protect the feet of my employees for over ten years now. I recently purchased a few pairs of boots from your company for my crew. Though my men were initially satisfied with the boots, the soles began to fall apart on them after just twelve weeks. This was extremely surprising considering they came with a six year warranty. The boots are unsafe to wear because my men are pouring hot concrete. Please respond as soon as possible with instructions on how I can return the boots and receive a refund.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Trimbald,
Thank you for your e-mail concerning the poor quality of our rubber soled black workboots. A representative will be by your office next week to pick up the damaged boots. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you and your crew. Along with five new pairs of workboots for your crew (we included one extra pair), we have enclosed a free year's supply of sole protector spray. In our retail stores, this spray is always recommended to buyers who work on heated floors. This should have been brought to your attention at the time of your initial order (received by telephone on October 12, 2007). Please excuse our oversight. To date we have had no complaints about these workboots from customers who have used the protector spray. However, should you use the spray and find that you are still unsatisfied with the boots, please return the boots and spray for a full refund. Thank you for supporting The Shoe People. Have a Happy New Year.
Sincerely,
Stan Mason, President

I found in my baby' s behaviour a metaphor (暗喻) for the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don' t read , that they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion:let them watch it. If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight it? Let them watch it all they want!

A.make his son stop crying
B.spend the night watching TV
C.it to his son
D.make his son fall asleep as soon as possible
