托福模擬試題
While everyone contributed, Virginian delegate and future president James Madison was largely responsible for assembling the Constitution. Because of that, he is frequently referred to as the “Father of the Constitution.” Others who contributed significantly include Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington. They, and all those who were directly involved in the wording of the Constitution, are known as the “Framers.”
Q: Which of the following can be inferred from sentence 1?
(A) The U.S. Constitution would not be the same without the contribution of James Madison.
(B) All delegates agreed that James Madison helped the most, so they named him the Father of the Constitution.
(C) James Madison contributed significantly, but so did others such as George Washington.
(D) James Madison was mainly concerned with protecting the rights of citizens of Virginia.
答案：(A)
解析：
段落中第一句的主要意思為：「雖然每個人都做出了貢獻，但維吉尼亞州的代表和未來的總統詹姆斯·麥迪遜主要負責制定憲法。」(A)強調了詹姆斯麥迪遜的重要貢獻；(B)錯誤，因為無法推測出其他代表都認為他貢獻最大；(C)強調了喬治·華盛頓等人同等重要，與文章表達重點不一致；(D)錯誤，文章沒有說他主要關心的是維吉尼亞州公民的權利；因此選(A)。
