Washington Irving was America’ s first man of letters to be known internationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in the country, and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States. (76)
The respect in which he was held partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his urbanity, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the New.
Thackeray described Irving as "a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans." (77)
England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford—an unusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nation—and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature.
America made him ambassador to Spain.
Irving’s background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but without zeal, and never did practice seriously. He was immune to his strict Presbyterian home environment, frequenting both social gatherings and the theater.
The main point of the first paragraph is that Washington Irving was ______
选项
A、America’ s first man of letters
B、a writer who had great success both in and outside his own country
C、a man who was able to move from literature to politics
D、a man whose personal charm enabled him to get by with basically inferior work
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。第一段第一句即中心句,概括了这一段的大意,即华盛顿·欧文是第一在国际上享有盛誉的美国文人,也就是说他不仅在自己的国家,而且在国外也获得巨大的成功,B与此最相符。段末提到了C,但也是为了说明他的成功,包括在B中。A表述不恰当;D文中没有提及。
