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. 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. [br] The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because______.
选项
A、he was fully occupied with observing nature
B、he didn’t live very long with them
C、the family was extremely large
D、he was too young when he lived with them
答案
A
解析
本题考查考生对文章细节的把握。根据题干关键诃“remember”、“relatives”可知应定位到第二段。作者记不住那些亲戚的原因是他只顾观察那些动植物、昆虫之类的自然世界了。所以答案为A,他忙于观察自然。B项他和他们在一起住的时间不够长,文章并没有提到时间长短问题。C项“家庭实在太大”不符合文章主旨。D项“和他们在一起时他太小”也未提到。
