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.
According to the second paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项
A、Nobel Prize winners are not qualified for the "Millennial Minds".
B、A "Millennial Mind" needs only to have a great influence on the lives of the people of his time.
C、Only those whose achievements still greatly affect our lives today can be included in the list of the "Millennial Minds".
D、The "Millennial Minds" are those who have changed human lives so much that people of later generations can not remember what things were like in the past.
答案
C
解析
本题应选C。本题可用排除法。依据第二段第二句话的意思可直接排除A、B,因为其意思与文意不符;D项意思是使我们不能记得过去的事物是什么样子的,显然也是不正确的,因为文意说的是MillennialMinds的成就对我们生活的影响,使我们很难想象以前的世界是什么样子。所以本题选C。
