You will shame yourself and all your family, ”Darwins father once said to him. Most people know that Charles Darwin was the father of evolutionary biology. However, what is not widely known is what sort of person he was. In his autobiography(自传), Darwin described himself as a rather “naughty” child. He stole fruit from the trees on the side of his parents house, made up wild stories, and tried to be the center of attention in the family. Even worse, it seemed that Charles Darwin was a lazy young man and a slow learner at grammar school. He was a rather shy student but he did take great pleasure in showing off his athletic skills to the other schoolboys. It is not known how well Darwin did at school, but we could say that he was likely to be an unremarkable student. When Darwin was nine years old, his father sent him to a boys boarding school. At this school, Darwin learned classics, ancient history and Greek, all of which he found boring. He was not inspired much by his schooling. He found his only pleasure there was reading Shakespeares historical plays, the poems of Byron, Scott, and Thomson. His increased interest in natural science was encouraged by events outside his formal education. As Darwin grew older, collecting became his major hobby. It became very clear that Darwin was not taking his studies seriously. 【语篇概述】本文是人物传记类文章, 讲达尔文的童年以及他在学校的表现。1. What is this passage mainly about? A. What kind of character Darwin had. B.

By mentioning that Darwin made up wild stories, the writer probably wants to show that Darwin. A. had a gift for languageB. liked to be the center of attentionC. was “naughty” when he was a childD. was a very good storyteller【解析】选C。推理判断题。第三段第一句中提到, 达尔文在他的自传里说自己是个非常“调皮的”孩子。作者在下文举了几个例子, 是为了证明达尔文所说的这个观点。4. The underlined word “unremarkable” in Paragraph 4 probably means“”. A. ableB. honestC. ordinaryD. ugly【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据第四段前两句话可知, 达尔文小时候在学校并不是出类拔萃的学生, 只是一名很普通的学生, 故此处应选C项ordinary。5.
