GRE阅读题目解析:工程学课程设计课

2017-06-29 09:53:00来源：网络

　　1

　　Design courses should be an essential element in engineering curricula.

　　设计课应该是工程学课程中至关重要的一环。

　　2

　　Because perceptive processes are not assumed to entail "hard thinking," nonverbal thought is sometimes seen as a primitive stage in the development of cognitive processes and inferior to verbal or mathematical thought.

　　因为理解(设计)的过程不是通过 “ 努力思考 ”，非文字的思维有时被认为属于认知发展过程中的最初阶段，低于文字或数学思维。

　　3

　　But it is paradoxical that when the staff of the Historic American Engineering Record wished to have drawings made of machines and isometric views of industrial processes for its historical record of American engineering, the only college students with the requisite abilities were not engineering students, but rather students attending architectural schools.

　　但矛盾的是，当 HEAR 想制作美国工程学历史记录中，描述工业进程的机械制图与(建筑的)等距视图时，唯一有能力完成这项工作的不是工程学在校生，而是建筑学院的学生。

　　The Historic American Engineering Record program was founded on January 10, 1969, by NPS and the American Society of Civil Engineers. HAER documents historic mechanical and engineering artifacts. Since the advent of HAER, the combined program is typically called "HABS/HAER". Today much of the work of HABS/HAER is done by student teams during the summer, or as part of college-credit classwork. Eric DeLony headed HAER from 1971 to 2003.

　　(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritage_Documentation_Programs)

　　(HABS photograph and drawing: the First Bank of the United States, Philadelphia.)

　　4

　　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.

　　在一套强调逻辑分析的工程学课程中，设计课程是为了解决现实中的问题，如果没有设计课，我们迟早会在将来的工程系统中，遇到愚蠢且耗资巨大的错误设计。

　　5

　　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. (157 words)

　　比如，早期设计的高速铁路机车模型，配置了复杂的控制系统，但雪天就会失灵，只因风扇把雪吸入了电路系统。

　　9.The author calls the predicament faced by the Historic American Engineering Record "paradoxical" most probably because

　　(A) the publication needed drawings that its own staff could not make

　　(B) architectural schools offered but did not require engineering design courses for their students

　　(C) college students were qualified to make the drawings while practicing engineers were not

　　(D) the drawings needed were so complicated that even students in architectural schools had difficulty making them.

　　(E) engineering students were not trained to make the type of drawings needed to record the development of their own discipline

　　选 E

　　工程学院的的学生却没有能力完成工程学档案记录，所以叫 paradoxical 。

　　10. The author uses the example of the early models of high-speed railroad cars primarily to

　　(A) weaken the argument that modern engineering systems have major defects because of an absence of design courses in engineering curricula

　　(B) support the thesis that the number of errors in modern engineering systems is likely to increase

　　(C) illustrate the idea that courses in design are the most effective means for reducing the cost of designing engineering systems

　　(D) support the contention that a lack of attention to the nonscientific aspects of design results in poor conceptualization by engineers

　　(E) weaken the proposition that mathematics is a necessary part of the study of design

　　选 D

　　作者用告诉铁路机车设计失败的例子，主要是为了：支持论点，缺乏对设计的非科学方面的重视，会导致工程师设计出离谱的废物。nonscientific 在文中对应句 4 的 practical problem-solving 。
