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

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

【答案解析】答案選Co題目說的是“這五位百歲老人生活在一個非常友好的社

區(qū)〃，文章開頭部分提到了"community（社區(qū)）〃，但該句并沒有說這五位百歲老人

生活的社區(qū)是否是一個友好的社區(qū)，因此判斷問題句的信息在文章中沒有提到。

D、Theothermessagemovesataspeedofonlyonemeterasecond.

D、ischangedfrompositivelychargetonegativecharge

B、False

C、NotGiven

【正確答案】A

【答案解析】答案選Ao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)〃。因此問題句提供了正謂信息。
