Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed(紧抱的) flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. (76)
Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door.
But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle(谜), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of born worlds.
选项
A、full of enthusiasm
B、self-disciplined
C、full of ambition
D、knowledgeable
答案
A
解析
本题考查考生对文章细节的把握。根据题干关键信息"a born naturalist should first of all be..".,定位到原文第三段第二句话"I have a strong love of the natural world,and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations".A项"full of enthusiasm"是"strong love"的同义替换。由此可知,答案为A。B项"self-disciplined"在最后一段第二行提到过,但是作者说这恰是一种"我"缺乏的品质,"a quality I lack"。而C项和D项文章中均未提到。
