【阅读判断】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.” Today, not too far off Nixon’s deadline, America is looking at that possibility. Over the weekend, Hillary Rodham Clinton, wife of former president Bill Clinton, announced her run for 2008 presidency.
Q: Up to the present, no woman has been elected president in the US.
A、True
B、False
C、Not Given
【正确答案】:A
【题目解析】:答案选A。问题句说“迄今为止在美国没有一个女人曾经被选举为总统”。本段说的是“1969年,美国总统Richard Nixon 很有信心地预测:‘在下一个50年里,我们将会看见一个女总统,这或许比你想象的更快些’。今天距离Nixon总统给出的最终期限已经不远了,美国人现在正关注这可能性”。相邻语句的句意相关,显然,定冠词结构“the possibility”指答案相关句中提到的“可能出现美国女总统”。从该句中可以推断出“从1969年到现在为止,美国还没有出现女总统”。因此问题句提供了正确信息。
