难句突破

Our meeting set an important precedent： never again will a major-party candidate be able to run for president without addressing gay and lesbian issues.

主体句式：Our meeting set an important precedent…

结构分析：“Our meeting set an important precedent”和“never again will a major-party candidate be able to run for president without addressing gay and lesbian issues”是一种并列关系。在这个句子中，需要注意这么一个语法点：如果否定词(never， hardly， seldom， etc)位于句首，谓语动词要倒装。注意掌握词组“run for”，意为“竞选”，“address”意为“处理”。

句子译文：我们的会面开创了一个重要的先河：主要政党的候选人不处理男女同性恋问题就能竞选总统的日子一去不复返了。

题目分析

1.答案为C， 属推理判断题。原文对应信息是：“Our meeting set an important precedent： never again will a major-party candidate be able to run for president without addressing gay and lesbian issues. ”这一句话点出了此次会谈的意义。

2.答案为A，属推理判断题。原文对应信息是“I wanted Governor Bush to understand that long-term， loving relationships， stable families， strong faith-based traditions and Republican voting histories are all part of the gay and lesbian community. ”作者以自己为例，是为了向布什更好地解释有关同性恋的问题。

3.答案为B，属情感态度题。原文对应信息是“I was struck by his lack of familiarity with the issues， as well as by his desire to learn.”其中“strike”的含义为“打动;感动;给…印象; 吸引”等等。文章最后两句话“To be honest， Bush still has a long way to go. But I think he's a lot farther along today than he was last week.”意为“老实说，布什要走的路还很长。但是我认为与上周相比，他今天已走了很远。”表现出对布什的赞赏和肯定。

4.答案为D，属事实细节题。原文对应信息是“He still opposes gay marriage and classifying crimes against gays as hate crimes.”由此我们可以确定选项B和C是正确的;从原文“the governor acknowledged his often-stated belief that gays should not adopt”，我们可以确定选项A是正确的;选项D在文中对应的信息是“he insisted， assuring us he would hire gays and lesbians who both were qualified and shared his political views.”

5.答案为C，属推理判断题。从文中第一段“Our meeting set an important precedent： never again will a major-party candidate be able to run for president without addressing gay and lesbian issues.”我们可看出同性恋问题的严重性。最后一段“To be honest， Bush still has a long way to go.”我们可看出这一问题的长期性和复杂性。由此可作出判断。
