问题 According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be______.
Which of the following statement is true?

选项 A、The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.
B、The author’s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.
C、The author read a lot of books about the natural world and the oil industry.
D、The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.

答案B

解析 本题考查考生对文意的理解。作者的主要观点是:"博物学家"是天生的,而"科学家"是后天培养的。而文章并未提到天生的博物学家是否能够成为科学家,因此A项是错误的。B项可以根据第一段的"Unlike them,I had no ear for music and languages,I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic"得出。C项错在"and the oil industry"。第三段的"burning the midnight oil"是"开夜车,点灯夜读"的意思,而不是"石油工业"。D项作者花大量时间解答谜语,这一选项的迷惑性较大。它是对第三段"Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle"的误解。文章原意是作者通过大量的观察、讨论和阅读之后,会突然发现自己找到了这些谜团的答案,因而感到欣喜和快乐,而不是花大量的时间空想这些谜团应如何解答。
