问题 John Midgley was NOT fond of______.
What does it mean by "he was not on a soap-box" in the second paragraph?
选项 A、He was not showing off.
B、He was high enough.
C、He didn’t like to stand on a soap-box.
D、He needn’t to be on a soap-box.
答案A
解析 推理判断题。整句话为"The possessor of fine intelligence, he was not on a soap-box, or concentrated on influencing the great and good, though he got their attention just the same."(尽管拥有聪明才智，他却没有站在肥皂箱上，也没有专注于影响伟大优秀的人，然而他还是得到了他们的关注)。"on a soap box"和后面引起别人的关注有关，其实这是一个隐喻，以前人们要发表演讲引起别人的注意时通常要站在肥皂箱上，这样别人能更加显著地看到你。因此，正确答案是"他不愿意引起别人的注意"。
