我建议你选林肯的Gettysburg Address（葛底斯堡演说）吧,这是林肯1863年11月18日在葛底斯堡阵亡将士公墓落成仪式上发表的演说,是公认的英语演讲的最高典范.
正常语速下来2分多钟,我曾经脱口而出并在班上模仿演讲过,效果很不错.如果你需要的话,我可以将由我们外教制作的此文录音发给你.
附上原文
-Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent,a new nation,conceived in Liberty,and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
-Now we are engaged in a great civil war,testing whether that nation,or any nation so conceived and so dedicated,can long endure.We are met on a great battle-field of that war.We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives.That nation might live.It is altogether fitting and proper that 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 and 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 it can never forget what they did here.
-It is for us the living,rather,to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to - that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve - that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation,under God,shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people,by the people,for the people,shall not perish from the earth.
