Hillary Rodham Clinton released the first television spot of her Senate campaign this morning， a 30-second commercial that will begin airing statewide on Thursday. The spot， titled “First”， uses numerous still photos to highlight landmarks in Mrs. Clinton‘s career， while the voiceover says she is “more than a first lady.”
There is no mention of Mrs. Clinton‘s rival for New York’s Senate seat， New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said the ad was “positive” and “biographical”， instead of focusing on the first lady‘s opponent.
Mrs. Clinton has previously aired radio ads， but has generally stayed with a strategy of making extensive campaign appearances instead of using television spots， while Giuliani has already run statewide TV ads.
Text of Hillary Commercial：
First she became a lawyer， named one of the top hudred in America.
Her first cause was children， fighting abuse and chairing the board of the Children‘s Defense Fund.
Her first priority was public schools， helping to establish teacher testing.
More than a first lady. For 30 years， she‘s fought for children and families.
As New York‘s senator， she’ll fight for better schools and heath care for children.
Hillary. Put her to work for all of us.

A. dry B. express. C. breathe. d. broadcast.
答案： D
考点： 该题是一个词汇题。
解析： 本题提问的是第一段中的"air"是什么意思。由这句话我们可以得知，希拉里今天早晨发表了她竞选纽约议员的电视宣传;为时30分钟的电视宣传将于星期二开始进行全国播放。由该句的意思我们可以猜出"air"的意思是"播放"。所以答案为D。
2. What does “more than first lady in the first paragraph suggest?
A. Hillary is not a first lady.
B. Hillary does much more than what a first lady is expected to do.
C. There are more women in America who does better than Hillary does.
D. Hillary is doing better than her husband.
答案： B
考点： 这是一个理解判断题。
解析： 本题提问的是第一段里"more than first lady"是什么意思。在世界各地，第一夫人作为国家元首的妻子，是一国之母，也的形象一般是一个帮助总统处理好家务，并且进行一些妇女活动和慈善事业，借此来提高元首的形象。但是，希拉里作为第一夫人，她所做的超出了第一夫人的职责。她不但在社会活动中经常露脸，而且直接参与政事，开始竞选起议员来了。所以，选项B应该是该题答案。
