  • 第1题:

    [A] leading [B] representing [C]delegating [D] supporting


    正确答案:B

    本题考查通过上下文选择适当的动词的能力。空格处所在部分“they are 13”是定语从句,修饰先行词constituents. 填入的分词形式所表示的是代词they即上文的officialsconstituents所做的动作。西方国家的政府官员是由选民选举产生,理论上是选民的代表,为人们服务,represent意为“代表,表现”,所以[B]项正确。lead“领导”;delegate“委派……为代表”;support“支持”。

  • 第2题:

    The boat sailed slowly, keeping ______to the coast as the man in it was afraid of ______the direction.

    正确答案:B
    9.答案为B  参考译文:由于这个划小船的男人怕迷失方向,所以他保持接近河岸,航行得很慢。第一个空是区分closenextto的搭配,close to表示“接近”'next to表示“紧挨着,紧靠着”。第二个空是要选用动名词losingof的宾语。

  • 第3题:

    请阅读短文,完成此题。
    Many objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science, but their form and function, their dimensions and appearance, were determined by technologists, artisans, designers, inventors, and engineers-use nonscientific modes of thought. This kind of thinking way is different
    from science. Many features and qualities of the objects that a technologist thinks about cannot be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions; they are dealt with the mind by a visual, nonverbal process. In the development of Western technology, it has been non-verbal thinking, by and large, that has fixed the outlines and filled in the details of our material surroundings. Pyramids, cathedrals, and rockets exist not because of geometry or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture in the minds of those who built them.
    The creative shaping process of a technologist's mind can be seen in nearly every artifact that exists. For example, in designing a diesel engine, a technologist might impress individual ways of nonverbal thinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive sense of rightness and fitness.
    What would be the shape of the combustion chamber? Where should valves be placed? Should it have a long or short piston? Such questions have a range of answers that are supplied by experience, by physical requirements, by limitations of available space, and not least by a sense of form. Some decisions such as wall thickness and pin diameter, may depend on scientific calculations, but the nonscientific component of design remains primary.
    Design courses, then, should be an essential element in engineering curriculum. Nonverbal thinking of a central mechanism in engineering design, involves perceptions, the stock-in-trade of the artist, not the scientist. Because perceptive processes are not assumed to entail "hard thinking", nonverbal thought is sometimes seen as a primitive stage in the development of cognitive process and inferior to verbal or mathematical thought. But it is paradoxical that when the staff began the Historic American. Engineering Record wished to have drawing made of machines and isometric views of industrial processes for its historical record of America engineering, the only college students with the requisite abilities were not engineering students, but rather students attending architectural schools.
    If courses in design, which in a strongly analytical engineering curriculum provide the background required for practical problem-solving, are not provided, we can expect to encounter silly but costly errors occurring in advanced engineering systems. For example, early models of high-speed railroad cars loaded with sophisticated controls were unable to operate in a snowstorm because a fan sucked snow into the electrical system. Absurd random failures that plague automatic control systems are not merely trivial aberrations: they are a reflection of the chaos that results when design is assumed to be primarily a problem in mathematics.

    What is the author's attitude towards design courses?

    A.Indifferent.
    B.Disapproving.
    C.Suspicious.
    D.Supporting.

    答案:D
    解析:
    本篇阅读中,作者一直在强调从设计课中学习非语言思维的重要性,因此可推断,作者支持开设设计课,故选择D。
