8.问答题Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments

In his autobiography, Darwin himself speaks
of his intellectual powers with extraordinary modesty. He points out that he
always experiences much difficulty in expressing himself clearly and concisely,
but 1 he believes that this very
difficulty may have had the compensating advantage of forcing him to think long
and intently about every sentence, and thus enabling him to detect errors in
reasoning and in his own observations. He disclaimed the possession of any
great quickness of apprehension or wit, such as distinguished Huxley.
2 He asserted, also, that his power to follow
a long and purely abstract train of thought was very limited, for which reason
he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with mathematics. His
memory, too, he described as extensive, but hazy. So poor in one sense was it
that be never could remember for more than a few days a single date or a line of
poetry. 3 On the other hand, he did
not accept the charge made by some of his critics that, while he was a good
observer, he had no power of reasoning. This, he thought, could not be true,
because the "Origin of Species" is one long argument from the beginning to the
end, and has convinced many able men. No one, he submits, could have written it
without possessing some power of reasoning. He was willing to assert that "I
have a fair share of invention, and of common sense or judgment, such as every
fairly successful lawyer or doctor must have, but not, I believe, in any higher
degree." 4 He adds humbly that
perhaps he was "superior to the common run of men in noticing things which
easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully."
Writing in the last year of his life, he expressed the opinion that in two or
three respects his mind had changed during the preceding twenty or thirty years.
Up to the age of thirty or beyond it poetry of many kinds gave him great
pleasure. Formerly, too, pictures had given him considerable, and music very
great, delight. In 1881, however, he said: "Now for many years I cannot endure
to read a line of poetry. I have also almost lost my tastes for pictures and
music." 5 Darwin was convinced that
the loss of these tastes was not only a loss of happiness, but might possibly be
injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character. 参考答案：达尔文确信，没有了这些爱好不只是少了乐趣，而且可能会有损于一个人的思维能力，更有可能导致一个人道德品质的下降。 9.单项选择题Read the following text. Choose the best word or phrase marked A, B, C or D
