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 abandoned their pressed 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 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 enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while 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, 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 requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal, A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that the author was considered______.
选项
A、first of all a scientist
B、no more than a born naturalist
C、a scientist as well as a naturalist
D、a naturalist but not a scientist
答案
C
解析
本题是一道暗示推断类问题。问从文章中我们可以推断出作者被认为是什么家。文章第三段和第四段指出,作者自认为是一个博物学家,而不是一个科学家,是因为他认为博物学家是天生的,而科学家则不仅需要有博物学家的好奇心、敏锐的观察力和对动植物世界的浓厚兴趣,更重要的还需要有一种必不可少的杰出的自我约束能力以及刻苦的训练、决心和目标等。但作者在进行大量阅读、观察的同时,也出版了300篇论文和书籍,因此一些人也称他的这些论著是科学研究。所以,我们可以推断出在众人眼里作者既是一位博物学家,又是一位科学家。因此,本题的正确答案应是C。
