总结：consecutive, spectrum, prominence, meltdown, squander

Argentina could be on the verge of making history. A victory by Cristina (Fernandez), who is both first lady and a senator, would give the country its first elected female leader. Polls show her with about a 30-point lead over her nearest rival, fueled by Argentina's strong economic performance during her husband's term -- a fact she has stressed during the campaign.

She says, the truth is that with this year's growth, Argentina has seen the best economic growth in the last 100 years. Argentina has recorded 5 consecutive years of growth for the first time in a century.

她表示，事实上阿根廷今年的经济增长是近100年来增长势头最好的一年，也创造了在一个世纪内连续5年持续增长的记录。
