Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon【11】their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an【12】reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the【13】memory of the house we lived in and of my room and my toys. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the 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【14】had led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my【15】topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and【16】. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit【17】together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might【18】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. A scientist requires not only【19】but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can【20】the two, you get the best of both worlds.
A. combine B. connect C. self-discipline D. enthusiasm
E. regulations F. discoveries G. dim H. eventually
I. abandoned J. honor K. disposed L. modest
M. favorite N. early O. perfectly [br] 【12】
选项
答案
N
解析
此处需要元音开头的形容词作定语。以元音开头的只有early,根据and后面的“不会做心算”也可进一步确认。not an early reader意为“不是很早就学会阅读的人”。abandoned一词虽然也以元音开头,而且也可充当形容词,但在词义上不符合上下文的要求。
