Since 1000 A.D., around 30 billion people have been brn on our planet. The vast majority have come and gone unknown to all but their friends and family. A few have left some trace on history: a discovery made, perhaps, or a record broken. Of those, fewer still are remembered long after their death. Yet of ali the people who have lived their lives during the last 1,000 years, just 38 have achieved the status of "Millennial Minds" - that’s barely one in a billion. Those whose lives Focus has chronicled have thus become members of possibly the most exclusive list of all time. And choosing who should be included was not easy.
From the beginning, the single most important criterion was that the "Millennial Minds" are those who did more than merely achieve greatness in their own time, or in one field. Thus mere winners of Nobel Prizes had no automatic right to inclusion, nor artists who gained fame in their own era, but whose reputation has faded with changing fashion. The achievements of the genuine "Millennial Mind" affect our lives even now, often in ways so fundamental that it is hard to imagine what the world was like before.
Not even transcendent genius was enough to guarantee a place in the Focus list. To rate as a "Millennial Mind", the life and achievements also had to cast light on the complex nature of creativity: its origins, nature, and its personal cost. [br] In the third paragraph, the phrase "cast light on" can be replaced by_____.
选项
A、shine over
B、light up
C、shed light on
D、brighten up
答案
C
解析
本题应选C。cast light on的意思是“使显得非常清楚、阐明、使人了解”,另外在第二段第二句话也提到:个人的生活和成就必须阐明创造的复杂特性之后,才能列入“Millennial Mind”,由此可知正确选项应为C,意思是“使……清楚地显出,阐明……”。
