27、 Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality(理智), 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 have 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 become 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.
【1】The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university because he ________.
A. wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality
B. intended to be a combination of engineer and humanist
C. wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses in college
D. intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals
【2】According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can ________.
A. balance engineering and the liberal arts
B. receive guidance in their careers
C. become noble idealists
D. broaden their horizons
【3】In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected ________.
A. to have an excellent academic record
B. to be wise and mature
C. to be imaginative with a value system to guide him
D. to be a technical genius with a wide vision
28、Online learning is a term used to describe distance courses that are offered over the Internet. The courses cover a wide range of subjects and audiences. This educational method is growing in popularity as an economical method of providing access to education for a large population.
There are two types of online course access: open and restricted. Open access allows actually anyone with an Internet user to view the course material. This type of online learning does not require interaction with an instructor. The material covered can range from very specific instructions to university level courses. This initiative removes the barriers to advanced knowledge and allows anyone with the interest to learn. The other type of online courses are restricted access courses. Restricted access is used to limit the class to registered students. These courses offer instructor interaction and are typically the method used by courses that require grades upon graduation.
It is more efficient for both the educator and the student to access course materials online. From the educator aspect, the course lectures can be recorded once and reused. This greatly reduced the staff time and costs. Meanwhile, online courses allow students to complete coursework from a wide range of locations and remove the time restriction to access course lectures. Students are no longer required to travel to the class and many course materials are included in the fee. The material for online courses has been carefully reviewed and approved before the course is offered. Many introduction and courses do not change, as the material is fixed. As a result, the courses are stable and can be reused as needed.
Technology continues to expand to meet the needs of online students. These tools include mobile audio and video viewers, improved online interactive tests, and tool and course management software. The continued development in this area will further enhance the quality of online courses and encourage more people to further their education.
【1】Why is online learning winning more recognition?
A.It is cost-effective.
B.It is free to access.
C.No teacher is required.
D.Education is getting more important.
【2】What do we learn about restricted access?
A.Learners are required to register.
B.Learners can learn without evaluation.
C.It is intended for advanced learners only.
D.It has no interaction with an instructor.
【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about online courses?
A.The participants.
B.The time restrictions.
C.The advantages.
D.The ever-changing materials.
【4】How does the author feel about the future of online learning?
A.Challenging.
B.Critical.
C.Worrying.
D.Promising.
29、As is known, exercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity every week. Many people have an exercise routine. 【1】. So, getting those 150 minutes is easier. But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise routine? Will physical activity help you to feel better more quickly or will it delay the healing process?
Health experts answer these and other questions on the Mayo Clinic website. Mild to moderate physical activity is usually OK if you have a common cold. According to the experts, it is usually fine to exercise if your symptoms are all “above the neck”. 【2】. In fact, exercise may make you feel better by “opening your blocked nose”. This may temporarily reduce congestion and help you to breathe more easily.
【3】, though. So be on guard for symptoms such as chest congestion, extreme cough or pain in the stomach. Besides, there are other symptoms that can tell you to avoid exercise. They include: a higher than normal body temperature, a sense of feeling extremely tired, also known as fatigue, and widespread muscle pain. 【4】.
Finally, experts suggest learning to listen to your body. If you feel really bad, take a break and let your body rest. If you don’t feel too bad, these experts both suggest cutting back on the intensity (强度) of your exercise routine.【5】. Experts all indicate that a few days off from exercise when you are sick shouldn’t affect your performance. You can return to your usual intensity when you feel better.
A.These signs may include a runny nose, nasal congestion (鼻塞), sneezing or a minor sore throat
B.Experts especially point that if you feel tightness in the chest, it is not advisable to work out
C.They exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day
D.Exercising will result in more severe illness
E.For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk instead
F.Experts suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appear “below the neck”
G.Exercising regularly keeps us feeling exhausted
