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 author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he______.
选项
A、has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic
B、just reads about other people’s observations and discoveries
C、comes up with solutions in a most natural way
D、lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist
答案
D
解析
本题问作者说他自认为是博物学家而不是科学家的原因是什么。根据文章第三段和第四段内容,作者自认为是博物学家而不是科学家是因为他认为他虽有好奇心、敏锐的观察力、好记性和对动植物世界浓厚的兴趣,但他缺少科学家所拥有的自我约束能力。因此,本题的正确答案应是D“缺少科学家所需要的某些素质”。
