Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated on March 4, 1801. He was the first president to take the oath of office 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 public buildings. Besides being a city planner and architect, the new president was a writer, a scientist, and the inventor of several gadgets and tools. President John F. Kennedy welcomed forty-nine Nobel Prize winners to the White House in 1962, saying, “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent and of human knowledge that has ever been gathered together at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.” 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’s wife died in 1782. But it was also because Jefferson liked to live in a simple fashion. Once, he showed up for an important meeting wearing old clothes and down at the heels slippers! Neither Washington nor Adams would ever have dressed so casually. Jefferson was different from the first two presidents in other ways, too. He disagreed with them about how the country should be run, and about what part a president should play in running it.

27. Which is NOT true about T. Jefferson according to the passage?
28. What was the Presidential Palace?
29. Why didn’t Thomas Jefferson entertain very often in Washington D.C.?
选项
A、Because he did not enjoy elaborate parties.
B、Because he and his wife did not have appropriate clothes.
C、Because the food in the area was not good.
D、Because he could not understand foreign languages.
答案
A
解析
因果关系题。浏览选项可知,题目考查的内容和某个原因有关。文中提到杰斐逊不喜欢举办正式的宴会,一部分原因是there was no First Lady(他没有第一夫人),他的妻子已经去世了,还有部分原因是他喜欢简单的生活。因此可推知,杰斐逊不经常娱乐的原因是他不喜欢那些elaborate(复杂)的宴会,故选A。
