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. 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. " In 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.
Which of the following best describes the effect of Irving’ s Presbyterian background on his life?
选项
A、It fostered his love for the theater.
B、It developed his skill in business.
C、It prompted his interest in law.
D、It had almost no effect on his life.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。文中最后一句话提到,严谨的基督教长老会的生活环境对他没有任何影响,他经常会光顾社交聚会和剧院。所以选D。
