In the United States today, there are two major parties — the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Each political party is made up of members who share goals and ideas.(20)Each party wants its goals and ideas to direct the actions of government. Parties suggest, or choose, people that they want in office. The suggested people are called candidates. Political parties select candidates to represent them in elections. Each party then works to get its candidates elected. (21)Suggesting candidates is the major job of a party. But it is not the only thing that a party does.(22)At national conventions, party members from every state gather together. They make up a platform. A platform is a statement of goals. The goals may be general or specific. For example, a general goal may be having better schools. A more specific goal may be raising teachers’ salaries. The platform creates unity for the party. It tells voters what the party stands for. A party must also do fund-raising. Fund-raising is a group of activities designed to bring in money. The party uses some of this money to pay for its day-to-day operation.(20)But most of the money is spent on getting the party’s candidates elected.
Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.
20. According to the passage, which of the four statements is not true about political parties?
21. What’s the main job of a party?

B、The two major parties often have the same platform.
C、Political parties use money from fund-raising to get their candidates elected.
D、Political parties want their goals and ideas to direct the actions of government.

答案 B

解析 细节题。文中明确提到政党为政府推荐候选人;每个政党的大部分资金也用于候选人的选举;并且政党也希望他们的目标和想法能够指导政府的措施。但未提到B选项,故B错误。
