Lincoln's face is familiar to people all around the world, especially the face when he was wearing a beard.But he didn't wear a beard in his early life.When he acted as a judge and then a lawyer，he had two nicknames.The first was Honest Abe.And there are many stories of his honesty both as a child and as he went on throughout all of his life.His second nickname was Homely Abe.He was not goodlooking.Then something happened in 1860.That year Abe Lincoln was the candidate(候选人)for President of the United States.
Just a few weeks before the presidential election，Lincoln received a
short letter from a girl who lived in New York State.Her name was Grace Bedell.Grace wrote to Lincoln about his homely face，but in a polite way.It was a very interesting letter.Here are some parts of it：
I am a little girl only 11 years old，but I want you should be the President of the United States very much so I hope you won't think me very bold(鲁莽的)to write to such a great man as you are...
I have got four brothers and part of them will vote for you
anyway，and if you let your beard grow，I will try to get the rest of them to vote for you.You would look a great deal better for your face is so thin.All the ladies like
beard and they would ask their husbands to vote for you，and then you would be President...
Lincoln took Grace Bedell's advice，and over the next two weeks he did not shave.By election day on November 6th of 1860，he already
had enough beard.And he did get elected.Maybe his new beard had something to do with that.And he did wear the beard for the rest of his life.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个小女孩给林肯写信让他留胡子，而林肯竟采纳了小女孩的意见，最后也赢得竞选的故事。
1．Which of the following can be the best title of this text?
A．Lincoln and His Beard
B．Lincoln and a Little Girl
C．A Little Girl and Her Advice

答案 A [主旨大意题。全文主要讲的是林肯的轶事即他胡子的来历，故选A最合适。其余选项均不能全面地概括文章主旨。]
2．What kind of man is Lincoln according to the text?
A．Warmhearted and ugly.
B．Honest and ordinarylooking.
C．Strongwilled and patient.
D．Characteristic and bad？tempered.
答案 B [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Honest Abe”“And there are...throughout all of his life.”可知，林肯很诚实；根据“Homely Abe”“He was not goodlooking.”及文章叙述的故事可推出，林肯的长相很普通。故选B。]

C．give Lincoln some advice on makeup

There is no question that teenagers need rules, which is often not a difficult thing for parents to give.What can be more challenging is giving teenagers their freedom.It can be difficult to draw the line between the two.However, some issues cannot be changed by discussion and require firm rules.For instance, rules should be established concerning driving the family car.
I will admit that I have no problem coming up with rules.To me they make life easier and they leave no room for questioning.What can be more difficult, however, is giving my teens their freedom.I guess there are really two primary reasons for this.One is that sometimes I am afraid to give them freedom.The second is that I'm not always so sure what the freedom should be.
It helps that I have a husband with whom I can discuss these problems.We talk about them，give our thoughts and then we come up with an agreement.Sometimes one of us might be more unwilling but we know that there comes a time when we really do have to learn how to let go of the reins (缰绳) a bit.
If we try to make life have nothing but rules, we are more likely to see our teen's rebelling (反抗)．They need to know that while we do have certain expectations, we also trust them to begin making their own choices and decisions.How else can they do that unless they are given the space and room to do it?
It's really all about balance and I will be the first to admit that it can be a challenge to carry out.However, it is a necessary part of growing up.Yes, teens definitely need rules but they also need freedom.
【解题导语】 本文认为对青少年的教育管理需要找到纪律与自由度的平衡。
5．According to the first paragraph, it is difficult to decide________.
A．whether the children need rules
B．whether the children should be given freedom
C．how much freedom should be given to children
D．what issues require nonnegotiable rules
答案 C [细节理解题。根据第1段第2、3句，更具挑战性的是给青少年自由，可知很难决定给青少年多少自由是合适的。]
6．According to the writer, only rules without freedom will make the children________.
A．strongwilled
B．rebellious
C．weak
D．independent
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第4段第1句可知，如果只定纪律没有自由，我们很可能看到的是青少年的叛逆，由此可知B项正确。]
7．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．Rules are difficult to make for parents.
B．Rules and freedom are similarly important.
C．We should give children freedom as much as possible.
D．Rules are more important than freedom.
答案 B [细节理解题。自由和纪律同等重要。]
8．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A．Problems.
B．Children.
C．Rules.
D．Reasons.
答案 A [词义推测题。them指代上文的problems。]
