TEXT A
Thomas Jefferson, who died
in 1826, looms ever larger as a figure of special significance. Americans, of
course, are familiar with Jefferson as an early statesman, author of the
Declaration of Independence, and a high-ranking presidential Founding Father.
But there is another Jefferson less well known. This is the Jefferson who, as
the outstanding American philosopher of democracy, has an increasing appeal to
the world’ s newly emerging peoples.
There is no other man in
history who formulated the ideas of democracy with such fullness, persuasive
ness, and logic. Those interested in democracy as a poetical philosophy and
system--even those who do not accept his postulates or are critical of his
solutions--must reckon with his thought.

[单项选择]Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated (举行就职典礼) on March 4, 1801. He was the first President to take the oath of office (宣誓就职) in the nation’s permanent capital, Washington, D.C. Although Washington was a new city, it was already familiar to President Jefferson. In fact, Jefferson had helped plan the capital’s streets and pubic buildings. (79) Besides being a city planner and architect, the new President was a writer, a scientist, and the inventor of several gadgets (小装置) and tools.
After his inauguration, Jefferson moved into the Presidential Palace. The Palace was more than a home; it contained offices for the President and some of his staff and advisors. It also included dining and reception rooms, where the President could entertain congressmen. However, President Jefferson did not give many formal parties. This was partly because there was no First Lady; Jefferson’s wife died in 1782. But it was also because Jefferson liked to live in a simple fashion. Once, he showed up
A. he did not enjoy elaborate parties
B. he and his wife did not have appropriate clothes
C. the food in the area was not good
D. he could not understand foreign languages
