Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality（合理性）, but when it comes to my college education, I am an idealist（理想主义者）and a 36 . In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, 37 , any sensible student with my aims 38 have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous 39 and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.
I 40 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 41 choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility（弹性）and a value system to 42 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.

I headed off to college sure I was going to have a(n) 44 over those students who went to big engineering “ 45 ” where they didn’t care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a 46 engineer: technical genius（天才）and sensitive humanist all in one.
Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideal crashed into 47 , as all noble ideals 48 do. After three years of struggling to 49 math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have 50 there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.
The reality that has 51 my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts 52 don’t mix as easily as I 53 in high school. Individually（个别地）they 54 a person in very different ways; 55 they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
As humans, we are also considered as animals sometimes! But unlike other animals, we have not had to fit the environment in which we live. Instead, we have been the shaper (改造者) of our environment and explorer of nature. While other animals must find a home, we have created our home wherever we are living. We have fitted ourselves in a variety of environments.
Our skill at doing this has been due to our imagination, creativity and enthusiasm. If we chose to live in the desert, we learned how to save water, build a home among the rocks and mountains and depend on animals rather than vegetables for our food. Sometimes it was necessary for us to follow the animals as they moved, in order not to lose our source of food.
Living in a place where there was plenty of rain and mild temperatures, we learned that we could plant a greater variety of crops, raise a few animals in a smaller, more contained area and not have to move our home. We have been able to live wherever we choose because we have not accepted the limitations of a particular environment, or rather, we have made the environment fit our needs.
56. Humans can live where they want to because they _________.
A. have enough materials to build homes
B. can use what exists in nature to fit their needs
C. have plenty of food from plants and animals everywhere
D. can find a home easily
57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Animals had to fit their environment.
B. People who lived in the desert mainly ate meat.
C. Humans always had to follow the animals for food.
D. Environment was made to fit human needs.
58. The underlined part “mild temperatures ” means it is__________.
A. cold B. hot
C. sometimes cold and sometimes hot D. neither too cold nor too hot
59.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Humans and Nature.
B. Animals and Environments.
C. Protecting Nature.
D. Humans and Animals.
B
A new computer treatment is being used to deal with obesity (肥胖) in children.
Connected to a small dining set, consisting of scales and a plate, a mini computer teaches children how to eat and reminds them when to stop.
“In very fat people, hunger signals from the stomach to the brain stop functioning. But the new computer system teaches the children how to receive these messages again,” says Dr. Julian Hamilton-Shield, the Bristol University senior lecturer leading the treatment trials.
The computer, called a Mandometer, records and stores the weight loss from the plate when children eat. As the food is leaving the plate, a curve (曲线) is produced on the computer screen suggesting whether the child is eating too quickly.
“Children with weight problems often eat too quickly. We want them to eat steadily and slowly and the system teaches them to slow down. It’s a bit like retraining, ” says Hamilton-Shield.
Obesity now represents one of the major threats to the future health of children. About one in five boys and one in four girls aged two to fifteen in England are overweight. But so far no treatments have proven effective in treating children.
The Mandometer was developed in Sweden, but at present is experiencing further development at the University of Bristol, with ＄224,400 in funds from BUPA — a global health and care organization. The system could be on the market in two years time. At first, it would be managed by medical clinics.
60. The text is mainly written to explain ____________.
A. how a new computer treatment dealing with obesity works
B. why child obesity becomes a topic of people
C. how to lose weight with the help of computers
D. why a computer is effective in dealing with child obesity
61. The word “functioning” in paragraph 3 probably means __________.
A. eating B. working C. lasting D. losing
62. Obesity threats the health of children, which ___________.
A. people have not cared about
B. is nothing compared with other diseases
C. is very serious
D. has led to many deaths
63. What can we learn from the text?
A. The Mandometer will be put into market once it proves effective.
B. The Mandometer is cheap enough for every family to afford.
C. The Mandometer is still not perfect.
D. Slow eating is sure to make people lose weight.
