问题      The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible. In fact, all natural objects make a similar impression —when the mind is open to their influence. Not even the wisest person can extort from Nature all of her secrets nor exhaust his curiosity by finding out ail her perfection. Nature never became a toy to a wise spirit.
     When we speak of Nature in this manner, we mean the integrity of expression made manifold by natural objects. The charming landscape that I saw this morning is indubitable made up of some twenty or thirty farms. This field is the property of Miller, that one the property of Locke, and that one beyond the wood the property of Manning. But none of them owns the landscape. There is property in the horizon which no man has, but it belongs only to him whose eyes can integrate all the parts. This is the best part of these men’ s farms, yet to this their warranty gives no title. The power to produce this delight does not reside in Nature, but in humans, or in the harmony of both, for Nature is not always decked out in holiday attire. The same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered is overspread with melancholy today. Nature always wears the color of the spirit.
The phrase "Nature never became a toy to the wise spirit" means which of the following?
选项 A、Educated people do not treat nature as children do.
B、Nature will always conquer even the most learned person.
C、Nature is unpredictable and human beings cannot understand it.
D、A true wise person does not lose his appreciation of nature.
答案D
解析 文章讲述人类对自然的认识，第一段中“Not even the wisest person can extort from Nature all of her secrets nor exhaust his curiosity by finding out all her perfection．”一句说明了”自然界永远也不会成为智者的玩物”，说明人类不能理解自然界的全部奥妙，因此自然界总是使人们产生某种敬畏的感觉。
