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。]
