Days after celebrations honoring his bicentennial （二百周年）, Abraham Lincoln kept his rank as best US president, according to a survey of 65 historians that landed George W. Bush 36th out of 42 overall.  

Abraham Lincoln （1861-1865）, the first US president George Washington （1789-1797） and New Deal architect Franklin D. Roosevelt （1933-1945） were ranked the top three out of the 42 men who have been the country's former chiefs, according to a survey by cable channel C-SPAN.  

John F. Kennedy came in sixth, ahead of Ronald Reagan （10th） and Bill Clinton, who jumped to 15th from 21st during the last survey in 2000, when Lincoln also ranked first.  

Of all modern presidents, Bush, who left office last month after an eight-year term, behaved worst at 36th, nearly 10 spots behind Richard Nixon （27th）, who was forced to resign in disgrace in consequence of the Watergate Scandal （丑聞）.  

Bush scored lowest in international relations, where he ranked 41st, and in economic management, where he placed 40th. His best ranking was 24th, in having "pursued equal justice for all.” He came 25th in crisis leadership, and for his vision and agenda setting.  

Reagan behaved well in public persuasion, where he was pushed to 3rd spot, from his 10th place overall.  

Bill Clinton also received honors for his public persuasion, landing a 10th spot in that category, up from 15th overall. But presidential historians were critical of his moral authority, placing him 37th, ahead of Richard Nixon （41st）, but behind Bush （35th）.  

Jimmy Carter fell from 22nd to 25th overall, and many other presidents moved positions. The fluidity （流動性） of opinions of past presidents reflects contemporary concerns, according to Edna Medford, a survey leader and participant.  

"Today's concerns shape our views of the past, he it in the area of foreign policy, managing the economy or human rights," she said in a statement.  

Presidents James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce and William Henry Harrison ranked worst overall.  

 

72. In which of the following does George W. Bush rank highest?  

A. Pursuit of equal justice for all.                       B. International relations.  

C. His vision and agenda setting.                        D. Economic management.  

73. What has the greatest influence on people's rankings in the survey according to the passage?  

A. Their personal likes and dislikes.                      B. Their worry about today.  

C. Their understanding of the presidents.              D. Their historical knowledge.  

74. Which is the right order of the overall rankings of the American presidents?  

A. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Bill Clinton, Franklin Pierce, George W. Bush  

B. George Washington, George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Andrew Johnson  

C. John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, James Buchanan  

D. Abraham Lincoln, Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon, George W. Bush  

75. What's the best title for the above passage?  

A. An introduction to American presidents                  B. Why do Americans rank their presidents?  

C. Historians rank Lincoln best US president               D. The rankings of some American presidents

Britons stranded（擱淺）at sea or in flooded homes could find a real-life prince riding to their rescue. Prince William announced on Monday that he is to train to be a full-time pilot with the Royal Air Force's Search and Rescue Force (SARF).

William, who is currently a Lieutenant（中尉）in the Army's Household Cavalry Regiment（皇家騎兵團(tuán)）, will transfer to the RAF and begin an 18-month training course in January 2009.

If successful, he will become a fully operational Search and Rescue pilot in 2010, flying Sea King helicopters at one of the six SARF units based in Britain.

"The time I spent with the RAF earlier this year made me realize how much I love flying," the prince, who spent two weeks with a SARF team while on work experience in 2005, said in a statement.

"Joining Search and Rescue is a perfect opportunity for me to serve in the Forces operationally, while contributing to a vital part of the country's Emergency Services."

It means he will follow a similar career to that of his uncle, Prince Andrew, who was a Sea King helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands war.

The Search and Rescue teams' main duty is to recover RAF personnel but in peacetime they mainly respond to civilian emergencies, dealing with more than 1,000 calls a year.

The units deal with incidents ranging from helping those trapped by sudden major floods to rescuing people lost while out walking on hills.

William, who has spent the last year on secondment（借調(diào)）to the various branches of the military to prepare for his future role as head of the armed forces, received his RAF wings （飛行勛章）following a four-month stint（持續(xù)的工作）with the service earlier this year.

However, his time with the RAF was clouded when the Defense Ministry was forced to fend off criticism for allowing the prince to fly military helicopters to a bachelor party for his cousin and to the family home of his girlfriend Kate Middleton.

61. Prince William wanted to be a full-time pilot because _____.

  A. he liked flying

  B. he would like to do something in the country’s Emergency Services

  C. many Britons were in danger at sea waiting for rescue

  D. he had much experience in flying

62. According to the passage, _____.

  A. the Falklands war broke out in 2005

  B. Prince William served in the Army’s Household Cavalry Regiment in 1982

  C. Prince Andrew is serving in SARF now w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m

  D. William would finish his training course in June 2010

63. It can be inferred from the passage that______.

  A. the RAF is an army that rescues its soldiers during wartime

  B. either Andrew or William is interested in flying

  C. there are many floods happening in Britain

  D. the prince saving the people in danger is no longer fairy tale

64. The author’s opinion on William’s joining RAF is ______.

  A. enthusiastic     B. doubtful     C. negative    D. pessimistic

65. What is the purpose of the author by mentioning what the prince had done before in the last paragraph?

  A. The author wants to say that Prince William pays much attention to his family and friends

  B. The author suggests that the Defense Ministry was criticized when William flew for his private business

  C. William had a hard time when he went against his leaders

  D. The author has the worry that Prince William is likely to get the Defense Ministry into trouble again.
