　　SomethingthathasalwaysinterestedmeaboutAbrahamLincolnis,notsurprisingly,hissenseofhumor.AsfarasIcantell,he’sthefirstAmericanPresidenttohaveone.

That’sbecausetheterm“senseofhumor”reallywasn’tincommonusageuntiltheeighteensixtiesandseventies.Intheeighteenfortiesandfifties,itwascalled“thesenseoftheridiculous”,anddidn’thavethepositiveconnotations（隐含意义）that“senseofhumor”hastoday.Backthen,whatwasridiculouswaswhatinvitedridicule（讥笑）.Funninessandcrueltywenthandinhand.Ofcourse,theystilldoalotofarm-in-armwalkinginourdayaswell.

Lincoln’shumorwasverydifferentbecause,foronething,itwasactually“humor”aswhatthewordmeantinhistime.Wedon’tmakethedistinctionbetween“wit（风趣）”and“humor”anymore;butinthenineteenthcenturypeopledid.Witwasunpleasantandoffensivewhilehumorwaspleasantandsympathetic.It’sthedifferencewenotenowwhenwedistinguishbetween“laughingwith”and“laughingat”.Lincolnwasmuchmoreabout“laughingwith”than“laughingat”.Andwhen“laughingat”,itwasoftenhimselfhewasteasing.

InthefamousLincoln-Douglasdebate,whenDouglasaccusedLincolnofbeingtwo-faced,Lincolnreplied,referencinghisplainlooking,“Honestly,ifIweretwo-faced,wouldIbeshowingyouthisone?

”And,inaway,Lincoln’sfaceitselftellsusmuchabouthissenseofhumor.

Youcancombthroughthousandsofphotographsofpoliticians,soldiers,andthelikefromLincoln’stimeandnotfindasinglesmile.

True,thelongexposures（曝光）requiredforphotographsofthattimemadesmilingdifficult.YetLincolnalone,asfarasIcantell,overcamethatdifficulty.

Interestingly,whilehavingasenseofhumor,oratleasttheappearanceofoneprovidedbycomedywriters,hasbecomeanecessarycharacteristicforanAmericanPresidentinourtime,inthenineteenthcentury,toomuchhumorwasconsideredaproblem.AndthatwasthecaseforLincoln.AjournalistcoveringtheLincoln-Douglasdebatecommentedthat“Icouldnottakearealpersonallikingtotheman,owingtoaninbornweaknessforwhichhewaseventhennotoriousandsoremainedduringhisgreatpubliccareer,hewasextremelyfondofjokes,anecdotes,andstories.”

【文章大意】说起第16任美国总统亚伯拉罕·林肯,很多人会立即想起他对解放黑奴和维护美利坚联邦完整所做出的巨大贡献,想起他能言善辩的口才和妙语连珠的演讲,但却很少有人知道,林肯的“幽默感”也开创了一个新时代。

1.WecaninferfromParagraph2that　　　.

A.theAmericanPresidentcouldinfluencetheuseofEnglish

B.theterm“senseofhumor”wasn’tinventeduntilthe1860s

C.whatisfunnytosomeonemightbeoffensivetosomeoneelse

D.theconceptofhumorremainsthesamedespitethepassingoftime

【解析】选C。

推理判断题。

根据该段中“didn’thavethepositiveconnotationsthat‘senseofhumor’hastoday（没有今天幽默感所具有的积极的隐含意义）”和“Backthen,whatwasridiculouswaswhatinvitedridicule.（在当时,好笑的事就是招致讥笑的事。

）”可知C项正确。

2.Theunderlinedwords“thisone”inParagraph4referto　　　.

A.Lincoln’sunattractiveface

B.Lincoln’ssenseofhumor

C.thedebatetheywerehaving

D.crueltythatwentwithfunniness

【解析】选A。

词义猜测题。

在林肯与道格拉斯的辩论中,道格拉斯批评林肯是两面派,而林肯提到自己相貌平平（hisplainlooking）,接着指出“如果我是两面派,我还会向你展现我相貌平平的一面吗”。

这说明林肯很幽默。

3.WerarelyseepeoplefromLincoln’stimewearasmileintheirphotosbecause　　　.

A.beinghumorouswasconsideredinappropriate

B.theyfounditquitefunnytosmilebeforethecamera

C.notsmilingforphotographswasthefashion

A.Hiscommentaccuratelyreflectedhistime.

B.HecreatedafalsepictureofLincoln.
