题文

阅读理解。 Engineering students are suppod to be examples of practicality and rationality (理性), but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of cour, any reasonable student with my aims would have chon a college with a large engineering department, many famous professors and lots of good labs and rearch equipment. But that's not what I did. I cho to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesn't even offer a major inelectrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanteda broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my job. I wanted toopen my eyes and expand my vision by communicating with people who weren't studying science orengineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praid me for such a wi choice. They told me I was wi and grown-up beyond my 18 years, and I believed them. I headed off to the college and sure I was going to have an advantage over tho students who went to big engineering "factories" where they didn't care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a completeengineer: technical expert and excellent humanist all in one. Now I'm not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideas crashed into reality, as all noble ideasfinally do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering cours with liberal-artscours, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile engineering with liberal-arts cours in college. The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and theliberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I suppod in high school. Individually they shape a person in verydifferent ways. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult. 1.

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 Engi.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
