Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, 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 course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.
I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice, I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system
to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.
I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those 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 complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist (人文学者) all in one.
Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.
The reality that has blocked my path to becoming the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.
[br] In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected______.
选项
A、to be imaginative with a value system to guide him
B、to be a technical genius with a wide vision
C、to have an excellent academic record
D、to be wise and mature
答案
B
解析
逻辑推理题。解答本题需要结合上两题的内容一起进行判断。作者在上面说到,要想成为一名全面的工程师,必须既具备技术,又具有人文学者的素质,而且要有宽广的眼界。根据第二段的这句话“I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career”,可以看到A) 的叙述并不完全吻合,所以不对。而C) 、D) 的内容在文中并没有提及。
