问题     Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society, and was reading English literature.
    At school he seemed only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. Unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasted sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.
The main idea of the passage is that Washington’ s education______.
选项 A、was of great variety, covering many subjects
B、was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his time
C、may seem poor by modern standard, but was good enough for his time
D、was rather limited for a president
答案D
解析 主旨大意题。本题可采用排除法。由文章第二段第二句可知，选项A表述错误；从文章第二段第二、三句话可知，与同时期的其他绅士相比，华盛顿接受教育的时间短，而且不完整，所以选项B错误；根据文章第二段可知，与同时期其他的绅士相比，华盛顿并没有接受良好的教育，另外与美国早期的其他几位总统相比，华盛顿教育程度较低，故选项C不正确。故选D。
