47、ur choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)The candidate longing for election to the highest office in the United States must be native-born American citizen who is at least 35 years old and who has lived in
48、 the United States for at least 14 years. The election course is complicated, and the road to the Oval Office is long. Potential candidates must present papers stating their intention to seek their partys recommendation; delegates then choose from among those running some months later at the nationa
49、l conferences. Before that, however, each state holds a primary election that determines how the states votes want the partys delegates to vote. Methods of choosing the delegates vary from state to state. At the conferences, there are speeches and often heated discussions. It may take several rounds
50、 of voting before delegates can agree on a candidate. On the final day of the meeting, the presidential candidate announces his or her choice for vice president. Election Day, by law, is the Tuesday that follows the first Monday in November. On this day, registered votes may cast their votes for pre
51、sident, vice president, and candidates for other federal, state, and local offices. The popular vote, however, does not determine who will be president. The president is chosen by a vote of the Electoral College, a group of 538 citizens from the 50 states and the District of Columbia who are chosen
52、to cast votes for the president and vice president. The rules for choosing electors, as with the delegates, vary. Each state also decides whether its electoral votes must reflect the popular vote. The number of electors in each state is determined by the number of representatives and senators that a
53、 state sends to Congress and, therefore, may change every 10 years, depending on the results of the United States census. The winner must get at least 270 of the electoral votes when the Electoral College meets in December of the electron year. The election results are not official, however, until t
54、he following January, when Congress meets in a joint conference to count the electoral votes.

60、ears old and who has lived in the United States for at least 14 years.(渴望当选美国最高职位的候选人必须是土生土长的美国公民,年龄在35岁以上,并在美国居住了至少14年)”可知,在选举职位上的经验不是美国总统候选人的必备条件。故选B。【37题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Potential candidates must present papers stating their intention to seek their partys recommendation; delegates then choose from
61、 among those running some months later at the national conferences.(潜在的候选人必须提交文件,表明他们寻求该党推荐的意图;然后代表们从几个月后参加全国大会的候选人中进行选择)”可知,D选项“一个政党的潜在候选人在全国大会召开前几个月被选中”正确。故选D。【38题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“The president is chosen by a vote of the Electoral College, a group of 538 citizens from the 50 states and the District
62、 of Columbia who are chosen to cast votes for the president and vice president.( 总统是由选举人团投票选出的,选举人团由来自50个州和哥伦比亚特区的538名公民组成,他们被选为总统和副总统)”可推知,美国总统理论上是由公民直接选出的。故选C。【39题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“The candidate longing for election to the highest office in the United States must be native-born American citizen who i
63、s at least 35 years old and who has lived in the United States for at least 14 years.
