An Early Frost I attempted many times to find the positive advantages to an early frost. While it was not easy, I did find comfort in newly fallen snow. Staring out the window, there was a fluffy blanket settled over the lawn without a footprint or flaw in sight. A small smile formed upon my lips as I realized it stirred my heart from deep within. Taking a walk, I found the chill almost unbearable until I began a snowball fight with a neighbor, making me forget all about how cold I was. An hour later we both realized it was time to warm up by the fire, drinking hot cocoa and we each left for home. I thought to myself, okay, so there were a few nice things about winter after all. By far the most glorious moment was waking up Christmas morning, feeling like I was in a real live Hallmark greeting card. The tree was surrounded by dozens of presents, stockings were filled to the top, and the fire was blazing. Out the window was a beautiful picture of purity and innocence. Snowflakes fell as if poetry in motion. Tears fell from my eyes as I felt like a witness to a beautiful miracle. Everything was just as it should be. I jumped up, clapping my hands, and let out a yelp. I could not imagine Christmas morning any other way.

听力原文: Before World War n, 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 clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the nature. Im 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 favourite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something happens and 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 not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard. 23. Why couldnt the speaker remember his relatives clearly? 24. What can be inferred about the speaker from the passage? 25. Why did the speaker think he was a naturalist rather than a scientist?23.
A.He was first of all a scientist.
B.He was not only a naturalist but also a scientist.
C.He was no more than a born naturalist.
D.He was a scientist as well as a naturalist.
