Abraham Lincoln turns 200 in 2009, and he’s beginning to show his age. When his birthday arrives, on February 12, Congress will hold a special joint session in the Capitols National Statuary Hall, a wreath will be laid at the great memorial in Washington, and a(n)【C1】________ will link school classrooms for a “teach-in"【C2】________ his memory.
Admirable as they are, though, the events will strike many of us Lincoln fans as【C3】________ , even halfhearted, and another sign that our appreciation for the 16th president and his【C4】________ achievements is slipping away. And you don’t have to be a Lincoln enthusiast to believe that this is something we can’t afford to lose.
Compare this year’s celebration with the Lincoln【C5】________ , in 1909. That year, Lincoln’s likeness【C6】________ its debut on the penny, thanks to approval from the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. Communities and【C7】________ associations in every corner of the country erupted in parades, concerts, balls, lectures, and military displays. We still feel the effects today: The momentum unloosed in 1909 led to the Lincoln Memorial, opened in 1922, and the Lincoln Highway, the first paved transcontinental thoroughfare.
The celebrants in 1909 had a few【C8】________ we lack today. Lincoln’s presidency was still a【C9】________ memory for countless Americans. In 2009 we are farther in time from the end of the Second World War than they were from the Civil War; families still felt the loss of loved ones from that awful national trauma.
But Americans in 1909 had something more: an unembarrassed appreciation for heroes and a(n)【C10】________ sense of the way that even long-dead historical figures press in on the present and make us who we are.
A. took B. inadequate C. reviving D. alert
E. inspirations F. made G. civic H. living
I. century J. towering K. centennial L. webcast
M. honoring N. advantage O. acute [br] 【C1】
选项
答案
L
解析
上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。根据下文“link school classrooms”可见该名词可以将各个学校的教室连接起来,应当与“连网”相近,故选webcast“网络广播;网络直播”。
