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 "color of the spirit" means______.

选项 A、feelings of the observer
B、rainbow
C、weather
D、time of day

答案A

解析 文章的第二段说明,“When we speak of Nature in this manner, we mean the integrity of expression made manifold by natural objects.”自然界给人类的感觉是多种多样的,而其原因是人的感受不一样。Nature always wears the color of the spirit.“自然界总是带有精神的色彩”就表示这个意思。
