答案與題解：
1. A 句子說的是：迄今為止在美國沒有一個女人選舉為總統(tǒng)。選A。文章的第一個句子是這么說的： 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."早在1969年，美國總統(tǒng)Richard Nixon 很有信心地預測：“在下一個五十年里，我們將會看見一個女總統(tǒng)，或許比我們想的要快些?！?BR> 2. C 句子說的是: Bill Clinton 將強力支持Hillary 參加 2008年總統(tǒng)選舉。文章沒有提到。因此選C
3. B 句子說的是：美國人民在2008年將選一位女總統(tǒng)，這個命題是錯的。文章第四段是這么說的: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.然而，接受女總統(tǒng)作為一個理論概念跟選舉女總統(tǒng)是兩回事。事實上，人們仍然普遍不信任女人能任領袖的。
4. C 句子說的是：Hillary的一個競選許諾是改革國家的醫(yī)療制度。文章講到女人做教育和醫(yī)療方面的工作有優(yōu)勢，但沒說Hillary的一個競選許諾是改革國家的醫(yī)療制度。
5. A 句子說的是：德國去年選了一個女總理。文章第七段有這么一句話：Last year, Germany made Angela Merkel its first female chancellor.去年，德國選舉了Angela Merkel為德國第一位女總理。因此句子表達的命題是正確的。
6. C 句子說的是 ：Hillary已經籌集到了一大筆競選款。文章沒有提到。
7. B 句子說的是: Chris Dildy 要投 Hillary 的票。從文章的最后一句話我們知道Chris Dildy 是一個計算機工程專業(yè)的學生，他說了這么一句話：If we were not in this war, I would support a woman president.如果我們不在打一場戰(zhàn)爭，我會支持選一位女總統(tǒng)的。意思就是說，現(xiàn)在不支持。
