Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed (紧抱的) flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle (谜), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity, a keen eye-,, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of born worlds.
The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he______.
选项
A、just reads about other people’s observations and discoveries
B、comes up with solutions in most natural ways
C、has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic
D、lacks some of the qualities required of scientist
答案
D
解析
本题考查考生根据已知信息进行推断的能力。根据题干“作者说自己是一个博物学家而不是科学家,可能是因为他认为自己……”,可知出题人是在对“科学家”和“博物学家”进行比较,因此定位到第四段:“one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline,a quality I lack.”可知答案为D。第三段作者提到自己喜欢阅读其他人的观察记录和新发现,但是并没有说除此之外的书籍一律不读,而且这也不是“科学家”和“博物学家”的区别所在,因此A项不正确。B项“用最自然的方法提出解决方案”文章未提及。C项“在心算方面有很大麻烦”不是作者要着重强调的。
