三、阅读理解

• 10．John Otway John Otway has been playing music and making records in the UK for more than 40 years.Over the years he has released more than ten albums.He has played at hundreds of concerts.He has written two autobiographies.He has worked with some of the country's best musicians and he has even made a film about his life.But despite all of this，most people have never heard of him.
     Otway released his first record in 1972，but it was the punk movement a few years later that really gave him his big chance.Otway wasn't the greatest musician but his songs were always fun，and his performances on stage were always entertaining - there was a good chance he would fall off the stage at least once in each show.The punks liked him，and in 1977 he had a small hit when his single Really Free made it to No.27 the charts in the UK.Otway really enjoyed his success but unfortunately，no more came.Not one of his records over the next 30 years was a hit.
     Although he never had much commercial success，Otway had a lot of very loyal fans.When someone asked him what he would like for his 50th birthday，his reply was："A second hit." His fans went out and bought as many copies of the new single Bunsen Burner as they could.And in October 2002，Otway finally saw his wish come true.In the charts that featured international superstars like Will Young and Oasis，Bunsen Burner made it to No.9.Many high street shops refused to sell the record，saying that Otway was too old and unattractive for the teenage market.Otway didn't care.He celebrated his success with an appearance on TV's biggest music show Top of the Pops.
     These days John Otway continues to play his music around the country，and there are always plenty of people who are happy to go and watch him perform.He's a great example to anyone who loves making music.You don't have to be young，good-looking（or even very talented）to enjoy a long career in the music business.

• 11．Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought（1）

  ，upon this continent，a new nation，conceived in Liberty，and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created （2）

  （equally）.
      Now we（3）

  （engage） in a great civil war，testing whether that nation，or any nation，so conceived，and so dedicated，can long endure.We are met here on a great battlefield of that war.We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those （4）

  here gave their lives that that nation might live.It is altogether fitting and proper（5）

  we should do this.
      But in a larger sense，we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow this ground.The brave men，living（6）

  dead，who struggled here，have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.The world will little note，nor long remember，what we say here，but can never forget what they did here.It is for us，the living，rather to be dedicated here to the（7）

  （finished） work which they have，thus far，so nobly carried on.It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task （8）

  （remain） before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave （9）

  last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these（10）

  （die） shall not have died in vain；that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom；and that this government of the people，by the people，for the people，shall not perish from the earth.
