The law is a great mass of rules, showing when and how far a man is liable to be punished, or to be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so forth. These rules are contained in books. A lawyer learns them in the main by reading books.
He begins by doing little else than read, and after he has prepared himself by, say, three years’ study to practise, still, all his life long and almost every day, he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new questions which he has to answer.
The power to use books, then, is a talent which would be the lawyer ought to possess. He ought to have enough flexibility and fineness of mental fibre to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to have some readiness in finding what a book contains, and something of an instinct for where to look for what he wants.
But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite it; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble. He studies his books in order to advise and to try his cases in the right way.
As it is used in the passage, the word "flexibility" (Para. 3) means______.
选项
A、capacity or power to do something physical or mental
B、quality of being able to do something
C、curve or turn, esp. in a road, race course, river, etc.
D、action of being able to change according to different circumstances
答案
D
解析
此单词出现在第三段第二句中,“He ought to have enough flexibility and fineness of mental fibre to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words”。从动词不定式对“flexibility and fineness of mental fibre”的说明来看,flexibility这个词含有变化的意思。因为要想从书中很容易地找到他想得到的主意,头脑呆板、不变化是不行的,一定要具有灵活性,因而选项D最符合文章内容。
