2.The day before the deadline for this article,I had no clue what I was going to write about.I took my problem to the editor-in-chief,and.he said to me:"Don't worry; you're creative."
I'm not sure where the editor-in-chief reached the conclusion that I was"creative".Maybe it was through the poems I wrote.Personally,I simply enjoy writing because it's fun.There's also the fact that I can't draw or do anything else creatively,I'm equally sure that there are people in the boat on the other side who can make things look excellent,but can't write a poem.
At this point you probably want to ask me what poetry and art have to do with engineering.For one,it makes you a more rounded person,making you a better engineer.More importantly,as an engineer,you will be faced with many problems every day.There are some that can be solved by consulting a textbook,but more often than not,you will need that thing in your brain to put together things in a completely original combination to solve the problem at hand.
Think of the wonderful things that creative engineers have done.Civil engineers have made the road more long-lasting so we don't have to close them for repairs as often.Coming up with a new innovation (創(chuàng)新) is similar to writing a good poem.It's not some-thing you plan to do.The critical moment comes unexpectedly in the middle of nowhere.You don't think about what you're doing,you simply do.After some mad struggling you take a look at the end product and say to yourself,"This is a masterpiece."This is perhaps the greatest personal satisfaction one can
experience.
So all you engineers out there get out and do something creative.I don't care if it's writing a poem or a computer program,just be natural and do something creative.

分析 本文作者從描述主編認為自己具有創(chuàng)造性寫起,然后論述了詩歌和藝術與工程學的關系,從而指出不論做什么工作,都要突出它的創(chuàng)造性這一特點;如作者在文中講到:提出一項新的創(chuàng)新類似于寫了一首好詩,但不論是寫了一首詩或是寫了一個電腦程序,一定要自然并做出一些有創(chuàng)造性的工作;工程師最大的個人滿意度來自于創(chuàng)新性地完成了他的工作等.
解答 答案:
66.A 主旨大意題 通讀全文可知,本文作者主要論述了詩歌和藝術與工程學的關系,從而指出不論做什么工作,都要突出它的創(chuàng)造性這一特點;故選A.
67.B 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第一段中的"Personally,I simply enjoy writing because it's fun."可知,就作者個人而言,他只喜歡寫作是因為它很有趣,即它可以使作者感到快樂;故選B.
68.A 內(nèi)容歸納題 作者在第二段中主要論述了詩歌和藝術與工程學的關系;如提到"More importantly,as an engineer,…,but more often than not,you will need that thing…to solve the problem at hand."作為工程師每天都會遇到許多問題,有些可以通過查閱教科書解決;但更多時候并非如此,它還需要將你大腦中的東西放在一起以形成一個完全原始的組合,來解決手頭上的問題,可知:作者認為,藝術可以幫助工程師找到解決問題的方法;故選A.
69.D 細節(jié)推理題 根據(jù)第三段中的"Coming up with a new innovation (創(chuàng)新) is similar to writing a good poem.It's not some-thing you plan to do."(提出一項新的創(chuàng)新類似于寫了一首好詩,這并不是你按計劃要做的事情)以及最后一句"I don't care if it's writing a poem or a computer program,just be natural and do something creative."作者并不在乎是寫了一首詩或是寫了一個電腦程序,只要自然以及做一些有創(chuàng)造性的事情就可以了,故可推測出:作者強調(diào)的是"提出一項新的創(chuàng)新"與"寫一首好詩"都屬于本來就具有的創(chuàng)造力;故選D.
70.C 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的"After some mad struggling you take a look at the end product and say to yourself,'This is a masterpiece.'This is perhaps the greatest personal satisfaction one can experience."可知,工程師最大的個人滿意度來自于經(jīng)過努力拼搏之后創(chuàng)作出的杰作;即來自于創(chuàng)新性地完成了他的工作;故選C
