推理题。根据题干“作者说自己是一个博物学家而不是科学家,可能是因为他认为自己……”,可定位到第四段:“One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline,a quality I lack.”可知答案为D。此题使用排除法也可得出答案。由第三段最后一句话“…… 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.可知A项错误。B项文章并未提及。C项“在心算方面有很大麻烦”虽在文中出现,但与题目无关。故D项为正确答案。

请阅读短文。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 pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house 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 insects.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. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do notmake a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a qualityI lack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he查看材料A.just rends about other people's observations and discoveriesB.comes up with solution in most natural waysC.has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticD.lacks some of the qualities required of scientist
