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] The first paragraph tells us that the author______.
选项
A、was born to a naturalist’s family
B、didn’t like his brothers and sisters
C、lost his hearing when he was a child
D、was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
答案
D
解析
本题问文章第一段告诉我们作者怎样。文章第一段指出,作者回忆童年时,更加确信博物学家是天生的,而不是后天培养的。作者和他的兄弟姐妹们是以同样的方式被培养大的,但他们随着长大很快就放弃了以前对花草虫鸟的兴趣。而作者却对音乐和语言不感兴趣,他小时不是很早就会读书、心算。言外之意,作者一直对花草虫鸟感兴趣。因此,本题的正确答案应是D。
