题文

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 presd flowers and incts. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental math.Before World War I we spent out summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim(模糊的)memory of the hou 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 incts.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into various investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s obrvations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings the obrvations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you e the answer to the riddle. Becau it all ems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some may light honor, with the title of scientific rearch.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 esntial qualities required is lf-discipline, a quality I lack, A scientist can be made a naturalist. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.小题1:According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be  A．full of ambitionB．lf-disciplinedC．full of enthusiasmD．knowledgeable小题2:The first paragraph tells us that the author    A．lost his hearing when he was a childB．didn’t like his brothers and sistersC．was interested in flowers and incts in his childhoodD．was born to a naturalist’s family小题3:The author says that his a naturalist rather than a scientist probably becau he thinks he    A．just reads about other people’s obrvations and discoveriesB．lacks some of the qualities required of scientistC．has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticD．comes up with solutions in most natural ways.小题4:The author can’t remember his clearly becau    A．He didn’t live very long with themB．He was too young when he lived with themC．The family was extremely largeD．He was fully occupied with obrving nature小题5:Which of the following statements is true?A．The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientistB．The author read a lot of books about the natural world and oil industryC．The author’s brothers and sisters were good at music and languagesD．The author spent a lot of time working on riddles. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

答案

小题1:C小题2:C小题3:B小题4:D小题5:C

解析

作者认为自然主义者是天生的，不是后天造就的。而一个科学家应具备自我约束、刻苦训练，坚定的信念和明确的目标，从作者童年的经历和后来的成长，作者认为自己是天然主义者不是科学家。小题1:细节题，作者认为一个科学家应具备自我约束、刻苦训练，坚定的信念和明确的目标，根据第三段第一、二两句“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.”中我们得知首先应该有热情。故选C。小题2:推断题，第一段中的“ convinced that naturalists are born and not made”.告诉我们自然主义者是天生的，不是后天造就的。他的姐妹兄弟对于花、虫等不感兴趣，但作者 unlike them.所以作者在童年对花草是感兴趣的。故选C。小题3:细节题。根据最后一段中“One of the outstanding and esntial qualities required is lf-discipline, a quality I lack.”作者明白自己缺少科学家的素质，因为一个科学家的基本素质就是“lf-discipline”。故选B。小题4:细节题，第二段作者回忆了在农场度过的日子，那里的狗、鸟、动物至今仍历历在目，但对那里的亲戚、房子、玩具已记不住了，可见他从小就被自然吸引住了。故选D。小题5:推断题，根据第一段的句子“my brothers and sisters soon  abandoned their presd flowers and incts. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages”可知作者不象他的兄弟姐妹，他不喜欢音乐和语言，也就是作者的兄弟姐妹是擅长音乐和语言的。故选C。

人生感悟类阅读的概念：

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：

一、文章特点： 生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。二、解题技巧：针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
