1、 There was a large crowd in the square_________against the war．
A．protecting
B．protesting
C．preventing
D．promoting
2、Passage Two
The speaker， a teacher from a community college， addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said， “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs．”He described the inadequacies of his students，all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level．I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established．
My topic is not standards nor its decline．What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young，he has been teaching for sixteen years， and is able to think and speak like a mature adult．
My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable．It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century， it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies．But since then，English teachers have been under constant attack．
The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea．As their own command of the language improves，they notice that young people do not have the same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect．To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate．
Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today’s young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs．Otherwise， young people would not commit offenses against the language.
The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that ____
A．the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generation
B．the students had a poor command of English because they didn’t work hard enough
C．he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen years
D．English teachers should be held responsible for the students’ poor command of English
3、 ________ is generally believed，there is no water on the moon．
A．As
B．What
C．That
D．It

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 redid 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.
In 1863, Abraham Lincoln was__________
A．very critical
B．unpopular

B．available
C．related
