答案与题解:
1.A 句子说的是:迄今为止在美国没有一个女人选举为总统。选A.文章的第一个句子是这么说的:Back in 1969,US President Richard Nixon confidently predicted:“in the next 50 years, we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think.”早在1969年,美国总统Richard Nixon很有信心地预测:“在下一个五十年里,我们将会看见一个女总统,或许比我们想的要快些。”
2.C 句子说的是:BilI Clinton将强力支持Hillary参加2008年总统选举。文章没有提到。因此选C.
3.B 句子说的是:美国人民在2008年将选一位女总统。这个命题是错的。文章第四段是这么说的:However, accepting the theoretical notion of a female leader is quite different from voting an actual woman. In fact, there is still widespread distrust of a woman in the top position.然而,接受女总统作为一个理论概念跟选举女总统是两回事。事实上,人们仍然普遍不信任女人能任领袖的。
4.C 句子说的是:Hillary的一个竞选许诺是改革国家的医疗制度。文章讲到女人做教育和医疗方面的工作有优势,但没说Hillary的一个竞选许诺是改革 国家的医疗制度。
5.A 句子说的是:德国去年选了一个女总理。文章第七段有这么一句话:Last year, Germany made Angela Merkel its first female chancellor.去年,德国选举了Angela Merkel为德国第一位女总理。因此句子表达的命题是正确的。
6.C 句子说的是:Hillary已经筹集到了一大笔竞选款。文章没有提到。
7.B 句子说的是:Chris Dildy要投Hillary的票。从文章的最后一句话我们知道Chris Dildy是一个计算机工程专业的学生,他说了这么一句话:If we were not in this war, I would support a woman president.如果我们不在打一场战争,我会支持选一位女总统的。意思也就是说,现在不支持。
