13．President Abraham Lincoln led the Union of northern states in four years of civil war against the southern Confederacy．But he did not live to see the end of the war and the nation reunited．He was assassinated （遇刺）in April of 1865．
Almost immediately，officials began planning details of the president's funeral．They asked Mrs．Lincoln where she wanted her husband buried．At first，she said Chicago．That was where the Lincolns were going to live after they left the White House．
Then she said the Capitol building in Washington．A tomb had been built there for America's first President，George Washington．But it had never been used．
Finally，she remembered a country cemetery （墓地） they had visited．At the time，her husband had said，"When I am gone，lay my remains in some quiet place like this．"So Mrs．Lincoln decided that the president's final resting place would be in the quiet，beautiful Oak Ridge Cemetery outside their home town of Springfield，Illinois．
For several days after Lincoln's assassination，his body lay in the East Room of the White House．The room was open to the public all day．Next，the body was taken to the Capitol building．Again，the public could come to say goodbye．Then the body was put on a special train for the trip back to Illinois．
Four years earlier，President-elect Lincoln had traveled by train from Illinois to Washington．He stopped to make speeches in cities along the way．Now，on this sad return trip，the train stopped at those same cities：Baltimore，Philadelphia，New York，Cleveland，Indianapolis and Chicago．

解答 DCBD
21．答案是D．細節(jié)推斷題；由文章的最后一句"on this sad return trip，the train stopped at those same cities：Baltimore，Philadelphia，New York，Cleveland，Indianapolis and Chicago．"可知林肯的遺體在回到家鄉(xiāng)的途中沿途停留了Baltimore等城市最后到達 Chicago，由此推斷 Chicago是林肯最后安息的城市，故選D．
22．答案是C．細節(jié)理解題；由第四段中林肯自己的話"When I am gone，lay my remains in some quiet place like this．"可知，林肯希望自己去世后遺體能安葬在"這樣安靜的地方"；因此選擇了"Oak Ridge Cemetery"這個"in the quiet，beautiful （ 安靜、美麗）"的墓地，可見這塊墓地是符合了林肯自己的要求，故選C．
23．答案是B．細節(jié)理解題；根據(jù)常識判斷，George Washington是美國首任總統(tǒng)，而Abraham Lincoln 是美國第16任總統(tǒng)；故推斷George Washington的墓建成是最先發(fā)生的事，答案選B．
24．答案是D．主旨大意題；本文圍繞林肯遇刺后墓地的選擇、瞻仰等活動展開，故選D．
