Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed 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 the 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 while 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, 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 requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal, A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because______.
选项
A、he was fully occupied with observing nature
B、he was too young when he lived with them
C、he didn’t live very long with them .
D、the family was extremely large
答案
A
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问作者记不起他的那些亲戚的原因是什么。利用查阅式阅读法,我们可以在文章第二段中找到相关的信息。这段指出,在第一次世界大战以前作者一家人在匈牙利度暑假。他只模糊地记得住过的房子、他自己住的房间和他的玩具等,也不大清楚住在隔壁的一大家子亲戚,像祖父母、姑婶叔伯及表姐妹、表兄弟等人。但他确实极清晰地记得那些狗、农场里的动物、当地的小鸟、特别是昆虫等。因此,本题的正确答案应是A“因为他忙于观察大自然了”。
