Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.
67. What does the author probably mean by “untaught mind” in the first paragraph?
[A] A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation.
[B] A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity.
[C] A person who has had no education.
[D] An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident.
[答案] A
[解题思路]
文章第一句话指出“Discoveries in science and technology are thought by "untaught minds" to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents”,接着下文以Sir Alexander Fleming的例子来反证第一句话的论点。可见作者认为科学技术中的新发现都是辛勤研究和做实验的结果,而“untaught mind”对这些情况不了解,因此正确答案为A。C选项是最这个词语的表面意思理解,颇具迷惑性。B和D选项则与原文不符。第一句话的意思为“科学技术上的发明创造被“不知内情者”看做灵感的眩目闪现或戏剧性事件的结果”。
