第47题【单选题】

【阅读判断】Backin1969,USPresidentRichardNixonconfidentlypredicted:"Inthe

next50years,weshallseeawomanpresident,perhapssoonerthanyouthink.”

Today,nottoofaroffNixon'sdeadline,Americaislookingatthatpossibility.Overthe

herrunfor2008presidency.Q:Uptothepresent,nowomanhasbeenelected

presidentintheUS.

A>True

22

B、False

C>NotGiven

【正确答案】A

【答案解析】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RichardNixon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"thepossibility"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。
