致。

D、ofconductingelectricity

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】這部分所說的體積的減小和所需時間的縮短恰好與前半句中提到的

冰箱大小的體積和所需數(shù)分鐘的時間形成了對比。即：目前它大約像冰箱那么大，

而且要用幾分鐘掃描一個電路，但是他們正在努力使它縮小到臺式計算機那么大,

把掃描時間縮短到30秒。

【閱讀判斷】Backin1969,USPresidentRichardNixonconfidentlypredicted:"Inthe

herrunfor2008presidency.Q:Uptothepresent,nowomanhasbeenelected

presidentintheUS.

A>True

B、False

C、NotGiven

【正確答案】A

【答案解析】答案選A。問題句說"迄今為止在美國沒有一個女人曾經(jīng)被選舉為

總統(tǒng)"。本段說的是“1969年，美國總統(tǒng)RichardNixon很有信心地預測：’在下一

個50年里，我們將會看見一個女總統(tǒng)，這或許比你想象的更快些、今天距離

Nixon總統(tǒng)給出的最終期限已經(jīng)不遠了，美國人現(xiàn)在正關注這可能性"。相鄰語句

的句意相關，顯然，定冠詞結(jié)構"thepossibility"指答案相關句中提到的"可能出現(xiàn)

美國女總統(tǒng)”。從該句中可以推斷出"從1969年到現(xiàn)在為止，美國還沒有出現(xiàn)女

總統(tǒng)"。因此問題句提供了正確信息。
