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 passage indicates that,for Mason,political activities were_____.
选项
A、undertaken only when absolutely necessary
B、a fundamental and lifelong preoccupation
C、something he successfully avoided throughout his life
D、something to which he always wished to devote more time and attention
答案
A
解析
题目考查梅森对政治活动的看法。“He was at all times a man of public spirit,but politics was nevera way of life,never for long his central concern.It took a revolution to pry him away from home andfamily at Gunston Hall,mobilize his skill and energy for constitutional construction,and transform him.”通过这段话可知,Mason并非对政治情有独钟,虽然他是一个很有爱国心的人,除非因为争取独立而革命,他才会义无反顾地投身政治。据此判断,应选择A。
