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,
2. C 句子说的是: Bill 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。意思就是说,现在不支持。
