His walking D. While walking【答案】A【考查点】非谓语动词【解题思路】根据选项推断原句语义为“在黑暗中行走，他的头撞墙了”。非谓语动词应与句子的主语存在逻辑上的语义关系，该句的

Is he too fresh? Would eight years
3、in the Illinois State Senate, and four in the U.S. Senate qualify him for the Oval office in 2008? American political history gives an answer: a resounding “probably”.Thirty-seven men have been elected President since 1789, and the American people have applied two different standards in evaluating t
4、heir achievements. The first was formulated by Alexander Hamilton who test-drove the presidency in Federalist papers. The difficulty of winning the job he argued, virtually guaranteed it would be held by the best men. “Talents for low intrigue, and the little art of popularity”, could “elevate a man
5、 to the first honors in a single state”. But only “characters pre-eminent for ability and virtue” could impress the nation as a whole. The first seven Presidents, who filled the job for almost a half-century, confirmed Hamiltons prediction. George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were her
6、oes of the American Revolution. James Madison was prime mover in the push to write and ratify the Constitution. James, Monroe and John Quincy Adams had signal triumphs: Monroe successfully fought against the English troops during the war in 1814, and Adams, as Monroes Secretary of State, conceived t
7、he Monroe Doctrine, which waved Europe off the western hemisphere. Andrew Jackson, the frontier warrior, beat the Creek Indians in the old southwest and British in New Orleans.It was not until the eighth President Martin Van Buren that American aimed lower. Van Buren was a smooth self-made man from
8、upstate New York who clambered to leadership first in his state, then in the Democratic Party nationwide. He was a wire puller and wheeler-dealer. Former President John Quincy Adams praised his “calmness”, “gentleness” and “discretion”, though not his “profound dissimulation (掩饰)” and “fawning (讨好)
9、servility”. Van Buren was a pol, first, last and always. He showed that intrigue and the art of popularity were now enough to win the White House. Since 1841, most successful presidential candidates have passed the Van Buren test. The electorate wants leaders who have played the game, even they have
10、nt been All-Stars. Its a low but sensible hurdle; Obama qualifies by that standard.Voters also dont take kindly to non-politicians: two businessmen, Wendell Willkie and Ross Perot, made serious runs for the White House, although neither came close. Americans will elect a political neophyte (新手) only
11、 if he passes the Hamilton test of pre-eminent ability, Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight Eisenhower had never held elective office, but they won their wars. Some Presidents pass both tests: Theodore Roosevelt fought well in the Spanish-American War and in New York State politics. Among the prospective 20
12、08 candidates, only one has shown pre-eminent ability: Rudy Guiliani, in solving the crime problem in the nations largest city and in his response to 9/11.But is pre-eminent ability a reliable predictor of success? It doesnt guarantee victory at the polls. Henry Clay was master of legislative finess
13、e who helped broker the Missouri Compromises of 18201821, a deal between slave states and free states that kept the two sides from each others throats for 30 years. Yet he failed to become President in three tries. Great achievements dont guarantee great presidencies even when the pre-eminent man wi
14、ns. The Eisenhower Administration, scorned by eggheads of the left and right while it was going on, has revised upward by later scholars, and a similar process is lifting Grants presidency from the cellar to which an unholy alliance of neo-Confederates and genteel reformers had consigned it. But nei
15、ther man will ever be considered as great in peace as he was in war.There have also been ordinary-seeming politicians who became epoch-making Presidents. After the 1932 Democratic, Convention picked New York governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, journalist H. L. Mencken described him as a man “whose compe
16、tence was plainly in doubt.” The Republican nomination of one-term Illinois congressman Abraham Lincoln in 1860 brought this sneer from diarist George Templeton Strong: “He cut a great many rails, and worked on a flatboat in early youth; all which is somehow presumptive evidence of his statesmanship.”Statesmanship is an art, which means there is always room for inspiration, and for grace.
