What Makes a "Millennial Mind"?
(1) Since 1000 AD, around 30 billion people have been born 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 all 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.
(2) 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.
(3) 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 east 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
从第二段第一句“who did more than merely achieve greatness in their own time,or in one field”可知B不对。D表达不准确,那些Millennial Minds的成就对我们生活的影响是如此根本的,以致我们难以想像以前的世界是什么样子的,并不是说使我们不能记得过去的事物是什么样子的。A由题可知明显不正确,所以本题应选C。
