问题     In 2004 and again in 2006, women told pollsters that the concerns that motivated them to decide whether and for whom to vote were centered on nontraditional ’’Women’s issues". Women are not single-issue voters, either.【R6】______. In reality, women’s voting patterns indicate quite the opposite.
    Women are not monolithic in their attitudes about, or votes within, the political system.【R7】______. In the end, women voters ask themselves two core questions when deciding whom to support for president; "Do I like that person?" and "Is that person like me?" The first question is the classic "living room" test. The second is a more complex inquiry that probes whether women believe a candidate cars about, values, confronts, and feats he same things they do.
    Party loyalty trumps gender, as indicated by a July 2007 Newsweek survey, which found that 88 percent of men and 85 percent of women say that if their party nominated a woman candidate that they would vote for her if she were qualified for the job.【R8】______: Only 60 percent of men and 56 percent of women believe that the country is ready for a woman president. With regard to race, voters are less hesitant to vote for a qualified African-American candidate of their party, as 92 percent of whites and 93 percent of nonwhites say that they would endorse such a candidate.【R9】______: Only 59 percent of white voters and 58 percent of nonwhite voters believe that the country would elect a black president.
    Whereas the contest for president is the most wide-open in decades, one thing is certain:【R10】______.
A. The media’s focus on the contentious ones makes it seem as if women only care about one issue on Election Day and that it takes special attention to that issue to compel women to vote
B. Traditionally, women are thought to gravitate more toward the "SHE" cluster of issues, Social Security, health care, and education, while men are considered more interested in the " WE" issues, war and the economy
C. Like gender, fewer voters doubt that the country is ready for an African-American president
D. Americans express less enthusiasm, however, about the "female factor" , when it comes to how they judge their fellow citizens
E. Women, as they have since 1980, will be a majority of the electorate that decides who next occupies the Oval Office
F. When it comes to voting, one woman might vote for all Democrats, another might vote straight-ticket Republican, while a third might take the salad-bar approach to decide her vote
【R8】
选项
答案D
解析 上下文语义。空白处前后两句的数字形成了对比，由此可判断空白处的内容应与前句内容不一致，是转折关系，而两句涉及的内容都是女性方面的。选项D与上下文照应，符合逻辑。故答案为D。
