第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

Steven Spielberg’s new movie Lincoln paints a vivid and breath-taking picture of the 16th

U.S. president and his determination to end slavery. Spielberg based his film on parts of Team

of Rivals, a book by Doris Kearns Goodwin. He makes Abraham Lincoln relevant today by

presenting a cunning political mind trying to overcome Washington’s all too familiar political

divisions.

In previous movies, Lincoln was shown as a simple yet almost perfect man. But

Spielberg’s Lincoln is different. “I was determined to make a movie about a working president

dealing with real problems, not some angel,” Spielberg said.

We watch the president first ending slavery and then the war.

The film’s adviser, historian Eric Martin, explains how Lincoln’s thinking evolved. “His

main objective when the war began was not the freeing of the slaves but to keep the country

united. Lincoln realizes that in order to keep the country together, the question of slavery will

have to be addressed,” Martin said.

The film focuses on the last four months of his presidency. In the movie, the arguments

among political enemies seem very similar to the problems we see in Washington today. The

disagreements were bitter.

The film turns to Lincoln’s relationships with his wife and kids, his beliefs and constant

self-examination. Daniel Day-Lewis, the actor who plays Lincoln, offers an Oscar-worthy

performance as the 16th President. Not only is his physical similarity to the president incredible,

he is able to capture many of Lincoln’s mannerisms and his high-pitched, almost lady-like

voice.

“I found it very easy to play the role of Lincoln because the real man himself was so open.

When I was researching his history to prepare for the part, one of the most surprising things I
