III. 阅读理解 (共20 小题, 每小题1.5分, 满分30分) A Bill Clinton was born on Aug.19, 1946. Three months before his birth, his father had died—when driving home to his pregnant(怀孕的) wife, Virginia, he went off a high way, was thrown out of the car and drowned(溺水) in a river. When Bill was 4, his mother remarried Roger Clinton. And there were always troubles: a sometimes violent, alcoholic(酗酒的) stepfather(继父) and a half-brother. Only one year after the marriage, the drunken stepfather fired a shotgun at the ceiling to keep his bride(新娘) and stepson from leaving the house. Virginia was very much frightened. So Roger Clinton beat Virginia from time to time. But teenager Clinton played a role of protector of his mother bravely. The stepfather never laid another hand on Virginia. In high school, he was very good at Latin and math. He also played saxophone in the band. At age 16, as a member of a youth group, Clinton met President John F. Kennedy at the White House—it led him to the life of public service. Once he set his mind to do something, he did not give up. He was elected governor of Arkansas at the age of 32. Clinton has said he ran for president to make the country a better place for people like Chelsea, his daughter. He did win. At the age of 46, he became the third youngest president in the nation’s history.
51. When this passage was published, Clinton was _____. A. governor of Arkansas B. a famous professor C.
