【单选题】Many countries have a tradition of inviting foreigners to rule them. TheEnglish called in William of Orange in 1688, and, depending on your interpretation of history, William of Normandy in 1066.Both did rather a good joB、Returning the compliment,Albania asked a well-bredEnglishman calledAubgrey Herbert to be their king in the 1920s. He refused—and they ended up with several coves called Zog.
America, the country of immigrants, has no truck with imported foreign talent.Article two of the constitution says that "no person except a natural-born citizen.., shall be eligible to the office of the president". This is now being challenged by a particularly irresistible immigrant:Arnold Schwarzcnegger.
Barely a year has passed since the erstwhile cyborg swept to victory inCalifornia’s recall election, yet there is already anAmend-for-Arnold campaign collecting signatures to let theAustrian-born governor have a go at the White House. GeorgeBush senior has weighed in on his behalf. There are several "Arnold amendments" inCongress: one al- lows foreigners who have been naturalized citizens for 20 years to become president. (TheAustrian becameAmerican in 1983. )
It is easy to dismiss the hoopla as another regrettable example of loopy celebrity politics. Mr. Schwarzenegger has made a decent start as governor, but he bas done little, as yet, to change the structure of his dysfunctional state. Indeed, even if the law were changed, he could well be elbowed aside by another incomer, this time fromCanada: theDemocratic governor of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm, who appears to have fewer skeletons in her closet than the hedonistic actor.
Moreover, changing theAmerican constitution is no doddle. It has happened only 17 times since 1791 (when the first ten amendments were codified as the bill of rights). To change the constitution, an amendment has to be approved by two-thirds of both houses ofCongress, and then to be ratified by three-quarters of the 50 states. TheArnold amendment is hardly in the same category as abolishing slavery or giving women the vote.And, as some wags point out,Austrian imports have a pretty dodgy record of running mil- itary superpowers.
It can be inferred from the concluding paragraph that______.
A、theAmerican constitution is changeable and falls into a vicious cycle
B．there is a faint chance that legal adjustments are made forArnold running
C．abolishing slaver Yand granting women the vote given an impetus toArnold running
D．both houses ofCongress hold whether he deserves to win is another matter

[考点解析] 这是一道细节推导题。测试考生准确理解并且进行相应推导的能力。本题的答案信息来源在尾段，尤其是第一句，该句的大意是：“修改美国宪法决非易事(doddle)”。由此可以推断：为施瓦辛格个人去修改宪法几率渺茫，故本题的正确选项应该是B“there is a faint chance that legal adjustments are made for Arnold running’’(为阿诺德 施瓦辛格竞选而进行法律调整的几率不大)。考生在阅读时一定要抓住全文叙述的中心点，并且进行相应的引申推导，推导出作者叙述时的弦外之音。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
