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 and was 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 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.
The author’s experience shows that he was________.
选项
A、creative
B、ambitious
C、unrealistic
D、irrational
答案
C
解析
本题问题是“作者的经验表明他是一一 ”,本题没有重点定位词,根据倒数第二题和上题的定位位置把本题定位在倒数第二段"now I am not sure. ”,意思是“如今我不再确信”,表明负向感情色彩;分析选项:A. 有创造力的;B. 有雄心的;C. 不现实的,不切合实际的:D. 不合理的,不理性的:根据感情色彩排除A/B:然后扩大阅读在最后一段的开罗“the reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that…”意思是“阻碍我成为优秀学生的现实是…”,reality这里是现实是阻碍的,说明我不现实,因此本题答案是C。
