A、True

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】答案選C。問題句說“Hillary的一個競選承諾是改革國家的醫(yī)療制度J

而本段只是說“女人做教育和醫(yī)療方面的T作有優(yōu)勢〃，沒有說Hillary的一個競選

承諾式改革國家的醫(yī)療制度，因此問題句的信息在文章中沒有被提到。

A、KillingPowerofAncientVolcanicEruptions

B、AccountingfortheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

C、CalculationoftheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

D、AMassExtinction

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】本段第一句話是說:Wignallcalculatedthe"killingefficiency"forthese

volcanoes...；Wignall計算了這些火山的“滅絕效率〃......；其中killingefficiency與

killingPower意思差不多，屬于同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換,因此選擇B或C,但是accountfor意、

思是：（在數(shù)量方面）占；說明（原因等）不符合句意，因此不選擇B,

目的；C選項是作者兩年前已經(jīng)取得的成果，無需再定為自己目標(biāo)。
