On November 19,1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg 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 that Lincoln 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 learns Lincoln′s Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history. It was a fact that Lincoln′ s speech was ___________.A.an immediate successB.warmly applaudedC.a total failureD.not well-received at first
选项
A.an immediate success
B.warmly applauded
C.a total failure
D.not well-received at first
答案
D
解析
细节题。由最后两段可知,林肯的演讲一开始没有很好地被观众接受,后来慢慢地人们才开始欣赏它的简洁和深刻的寓意。A项“立即获得成功”与C项“完全失败”错误。根据第二段中的“there was little applause”可知,B项“受到热烈鼓掌”错误。D项“一开始没被很好地接受”符合文意,故选D。
