语篇解读 作者认为自然主义者是天生的，不是后天造就的。而一个科学家应自我约束、刻苦训练，并具备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，作者认为自己是自然主义者而不是科学家。 1．A [细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“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.”可知一个天生的自然主义者首先应该有热情，答案为A项。]

2．D [推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“...my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them...”可知，作者的姐妹兄弟对于花、虫等不感兴趣，但作者与他们不一样，所以作者在童年对花草是感兴趣的，故答案为D项。] 3．D [细节理解题。根据最后一段中“One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline，a quality I lack.”可知，作者明白自己缺少科学家的一个基本素质：自律，故选D。]

5．B [推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“...my brothers and sisters soon abandoned

their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages.”可知作者不像他的兄弟姐妹，他不懂音乐和语言，也就是说作者的兄弟姐妹是擅长音乐和语言的，故选B。]

7．B [推理判断题。第二段讲到父亲住的地方很偏僻、很穷；父亲早年丧父；父亲的母亲靠洗衣为生；父亲觉得自己缺乏家庭的教育和关爱。由此可知，父亲的童年很不幸。] 8．C [推理判断题。由第三段第五、六句可知，一位牧师推荐他上了大学，并给他了一份工作。父亲靠兼职工作完成了学业。该题易误选B项，该项本身有误，牧师没有出资帮助父亲上学。]

9．D [细节理解题。由第五段可知，在作者心中，父亲就是光明。] 10．A [写作意图题。纵观全文，作者对父亲的崇拜之情跃然纸上。]
