　Will Hillary Be the Next American President?

5 d  a. B  e) J: U5 ^$ d; C　　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.
7 m0 ~% ^4 S' c- k; E　　US polls indicate that Americans feel comfortable with a female president. A New York Times survey found nearly all Americans saying they would vote for president if she were qualified. 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. This is partly due to the biased thinking that women are weak on national security, though they might be strong on education and health care. This damages their prospects as a presidential contender.

. E/ E  |$ C1 [& q3 |% g　　“There’s still an inherent nervousness on the part of voters putting a woman in as the ultimate decision-maker. Control of the army and border security are sorts of traditionally male jobs,”commented Amy Walter,an American campaign analyst.“That’s where I think voters consciously or unconsciously have difficulties with women candidates.”
　　Women have held the top job in other major Western countries. In 1979, Britain elected Margaret Thatcher prime minister. Last year, Germany made Angela Merkel its first female chancellor.
　　In the US, no woman has succeeded in being nominated as a presidential candidate.One woman did make the attempt: Elizabeth Dole. In 1999,she tried to get the Republican Party nomination. But Dole could only raise $ 5 million for her bid-compared with the $ 56 million George W.Bush raised.

　　So Barriers lie ahead for Hillary if she wants to make history by becoming the first female US president. With the Iraqi war underway, she’ll find it even harder.

' s! i! p( M) T+ U解　　析：1.分析文章标题：Will Hillary(希拉里) Be the Next(下一个的) American President(总统)?
+ K* k- ^5 k6 {2.直接解题：
1.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”。关注文章开头部分的句子，利用问题句中的细节信息词women(女人)和up to the present作为答案线索，在文章中找到答案相关句：(第1段)Back(向后地) in 1969, US President Richard Nixon confidently(充满自信地) predicted(预言): “In the next(下一个)50 years, we shall see (看见)a woman president(总统), perhaps(可能) sooner than you think. ”该句说“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’” 。根据该句内容可以推断出在1969年以前美国没有出现过女总统， 而人们期望从1969年到2019年期间美国会出现女总统。 但根据该句内容无法判断出从1969年到2019年期间美国是否出现了女总统， 因此接着关注答案相关句周边的句子。 文章接下来的句子(第2段)说“Today,not too far (太远)off(离开，距离) Nixon’s deadline(最终期限), America is looking at (正在关注)that possibility(可能性). ”该句说“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。

4 K/ Y! y# i, B2 k2.Bill Clinton will strongly(强有力地，坚固地) support(支持) Hillary to run for (竞选)the 2008 presidency(任期， 总统职位).
- K$ `1 A  j) L6 SA.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
C. 问题句说“Bill Clinton将强力支持Hillary参加2008年总统选举”。 该题为细节题。利用问题句中的特征词Bill Clinton和2008 presidency 作为答案线索， 在文章中查找到答案相关句：(第2段第2句) Over(在...期间) the weekend(周末), Hillary Rodham Clinton, wife(妻子) of former(以前的) president Bill Clinton, announced(宣布) her run for (竞选)2008 presidency.该句只是提到Hillary是Bill Clinton的妻子， 而文章的其部分没有再提到Bill Clinton， 由此判断问题句的信息在文章中没有被提到。
　　考点：细节信息的查找和确认
3.American(美国的) people will elect(选举，选择) a woman president of the United States in 2008.
6 u5 q' `8 C4 `B. 问题句说“美国人民在2008年将选一位女总统”。 该题为细节题。利用问题句中的特征信息2008作为答案线索，在文章中找到答案相关句：(第2段第2句)Over the weekend, Hillary Rodham Clinton, wife of former president Bill Clinton, announced(宣布) her run for (竞选)2008 presidency.该句只是提到Hillary宣布她要竞选2008年的总统职位。显然该句内容与问题句内容不相关，因此接着关注答案相关句周边的句子。 文章接下来的句子(第4段)说：However(然而), accepting(接受， 认可) the theoretical(理论的) notion(概念， 观念) of a female(女性的) leader(领导者)is quite(十分， 完全) different from (与...不同)voting(投票选举) an actual(实际的， 真正的) woman. In fact(实事上), there is (有)still(仍然) widespread (普遍的)distrust(不信任) of a woman in the top (顶部的;最高的)position(职位，位置). 该句说“接受女总统这个概念不等同于同意投票选举出一位女总统。 事实上， 人们仍然普遍不相信女人能胜任领袖的职位”。 由此可见问题句提供的信息错误。

4.One of (...之一)Hillary’s campaign (竞选运动)promises(承诺) is to reform(改革) the nation’s health care system(医疗保健制度).
; `* J, t0 J2 t$ ]: SC. 问题句说“Hillary的一个竞选承诺是改革国家的医疗制度。”该题为细节题。利用问题句中的细节信息health care system(医疗保健制度)作为答案线索， 在文章中找到答案相关句(第5段第1句)：This is partly(部分地) due to (因为)the biased(偏见的) thinking(思想) that women are weak(软弱的， 虚弱的) on national security(国家安全), though(尽管) they might be strong(强大的) on education(教育) and health care(医疗保健).该句只是说“女人做教育和医疗方面的工作有优势”， 但没有说Hillary的一个竞选承诺式改革国家的医疗制度，因此问题句的信息在文章中没有被提到。
　　考点：细节信息的查找和确认
5.Germans(德国人) elected(选择) a woman chancellor(总理， 大臣) last year(去年).
A.问题句说“德国去年选了一个女总理”，利用问题句中的特征词Germans和细节信息词woman chancellor作为答案线索， 在文章中找到答案相关句：Last years, Germany made(使成为) Angela Merkel its first female chancellor. 该句说“去年， 德国选举了Angela Merkel为德国第一位女总理”， 因此问题句提供了正确信息。
　　考点：多义词词义的确认。
