George Mason must rank with John Adams and James Madison as one of the three Founding Fathers who left their personal imprint on the fundamental law of the United States. He was the principal author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights,which because of its early formation greatly influenced other state constitutions framed during the Revolution and,through them,the Federal Bill of Rights of 1791.
Yet Mason was essentially a private person with very little inclination for public office or the ordinary operation of politics beyond the country level. His appearances in the Virginia colonial and state legislatures were relatively brief,and not until 1787 did he consent to represent his state at a continental or national congress or convention. Politics was never more than a means for Mason. He was at all times a man of public spirit,but politics was never a way of life,never for long his central concern. It took a revolution to pry him away from home and family at Gunston Hall, mobilize his skill and energy for constitutional construction, and transform him,in one brief moment of brilliant leadership,into a statesman whose work would endure to influence the lives and fortunes of those"millions yet unborn"of whom he and his generation of Americans spoke so frequently and thought so constantly.
The author seems to be especially impressed by the fact that_____.
选项
A、Mason,a responsible citizen,resisted for so long the obligation to represent his state in politics
B、Mason,having so little political inclination,turned out to be such an influential statesman
C、Mason was willing to leave home and family for public service
D、Mason could be a devoted family man and a statesman at the same time
答案
B
解析
题目问:什么事实让作者印象深刻?“Politics was never more than a means for Mason.He was atall times a man of public spirit,but politics was never a way of life,never for long his central concern.”通过这段话可知,虽然Mason对政治活动并非热衷,但是,当他一旦投入到政治活动中,就会充分发挥他的政治天赋,并表现出非凡的领导才能。据此判断,应选择B。
