Ref: Results of the board meeting

Message:

I hope your business trip is going well. Today's meeting went well for the most part, even though it began 30 minutes late. Jorgen wasn't there at the beginning, so I used his time slot to give my report. Jorgen finally arrived at 9:30 and gave his report. The board members were surprised to hear that job applicants complain about our salary offers. Jerry's report really shocked and upset the board. Fortunately, Madeira's report had the opposite effect. Everyone was happy to hear about our great profits.

The technology upgrades report didn't go so well. Jerry had to leave the meeting before his report because there was an Internet problem in the Electrical Engineering department. Because of this, the presenter for our third agenda item read Jerry's report, and it was a bit confusing. She didn't really know what she was talking about and couldn't answer questions satisfactorily. We decided to ask Jerry to provide written answers to questions raised by board members during the meeting.

Because we started late, we finished a half hour late, but we still had to hurry to finish within the allotted time. We decided to make the next board meeting a half-hour longer to give more time for discussion and questions.

What time did the meeting start？

A．8:30

B．9:00

C．9:30

D．11:30

听力原文：The school officials state that the new engineering building on the school ground

听力原文： The school officials state that the new engineering building on the school grounds is finally coming to its completion. The engineering students who have attended classes in the Hailey Building on the south side of the campus will be able to enjoy their new classrooms in the Thompson Building beginning next month. We are extremely sorry for the delay and inconvenience. However, we believe that once the project ends, the engineering students will truly believe that it was worth their wait. The new building will have large classrooms along with the most up-to-date equipment, central heating, and air-conditioning. And lastly, in regard to the available parking spaces on the campus, an additional parking structure in the form. of a tower is planned to be erected to alleviate any overcrowding. The start of this construction will begin later this month and is expected to take roughly six months.

When is the new engineer building expected to open to students？

A．This week.

B．At the end of this week.

C．Next month.

D．In six months.

Many objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science, but their forms and fun

ctions, their dimensions and appearances, were determined by technologists, artisans, designers, inventors, and engineers using nonscientific modes of thought. Many features and qualities of the objects that a technologist thinks about cannot be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in the mind by a visual, nonverbal process. In the development of Western technology, it has been nonverbal thinking, by and large, that has fixed the outlines and filled in the details of our material surroundings. Pyramids, cathedrals, and rockets exist not because of geometry or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture in the minds of those who built them.

The creative shaping process of a technologist's mind can be seen in nearly every artifact that exists. For example, in designing a diesel engine, a technologist might impress individual ways of nonverbal thinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive sense of rightness and fitness. What would be the shape of the combustion chamber？ Where the valves should be placed？ Should it have a long or short piston？ Such questions have a range of answers that are supplied by experience, by physical requirements, by limitations of available space, and not least by a sense of form. Some decisions, such as wall thickness and pin diameter, may depend on scientific calculations, but the nonscientific component of design remains primary.

Design courses, then should be an essential element in engineering curricula. Nonverbal thinking, a central mechanism in engineering design, involves perceptions, the stock-in-trade of the artist, not the scientist. Because perceptive processes are not assumed to entail "hard thinking", non- verbal thought is sometimes seen as a primitive stage in the development of cognitive processes and inferior to verbal or mathematical thought. 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.

If courses in design, which in a strongly analytical engineering curriculum provide the back- ground required for practical problem-solving, are not provided, we can expect to encounter silly but costly errors occurring in advanced engineering systems. 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. Absurd random failures that plague automatic control systems are not merely trivial aberrations; they are a reflection of the chaos that results when design is assumed to be primarily a problem in mathematics.

The author write this passage mainly to______.

A．introduce a new idea.

B．stress the importance of nonverbal thinking.

C．criticize the education for omitting an important part of knowledge.

D．propose a suggestion.

Nonverbal Thinking in Engineering

Many objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science. However, their form. and function, their dimensions and appearance, were determined by technologists, designers, inventors, and engineers using nonscientific modes of thought. Many features and qualities of the objects that a technologist thinks about cannot be reduced to clear verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in the mind by a visual, nonverbal process. Pyramids, cathedrals, and rockets exist not because of geometry or thermo-dynamics (动力学), but because they were first the picture in the minds of those who built them.

The creative shaping process of a technologist's mind can be seen in nearly every artifact (人工制品 that exists. For example, in designing a diesel engine, a technologist might express individual (个人的) ways of nonverbal thinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive (直觉的) sense of rightness and fitness. What would be the shape of the combustion chamber (燃烧室)？ Where should the valves (阀) be placed？ Such questions have a range of answers that are supplied by experience, by physical requirement, by limitations of available space, and not in the least by a sense of form. Some decisions, such as wall thickness and pin diameter, may depend on scientific calculations, but the nonscientific component design remains primary.

Design courses, then, should be an essential element of engineering curricula. Nonverbal thinking, a central mechanism in engineering design, involves perceptions, which is the special technique of the artist, not the scientist. Because perceptive processes are not assumed to need "hard thinking", nonverbal thought is sometimes seen as a primitive stage in the development of cognitive processes and inferior to verbal mathematical thought.

If courses in design, which in a strongly analytical (分析的) 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. For example, early modes of high-speed railroad cars loaded with high-tech controls were unable to operate in a snowstorm because the fan sucked snow into the electrical system. Random failures that bring automatic control systems into trouble are a reflection of the chaos that results when design is assumed to be primarily a problem in mathematics.

The passage is mainly concerned with

A．the modes of thinking that are used by technologists.

B．the importance of nonverbal thinking in engineering design.

C．the new role for nonscientific thinking in engineering.

D．the difference between the goals of engineers and those of technologists.

听力原文：The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world's sup

听力原文： The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world's supply of water. With 97% of the world's water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world's agricultural industries experience constant water shortages.

Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.

This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation. In Texas, farmers' overuse of irrigation water resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of southeastern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed.

Saudi Arabia's attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have been the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.

根据下列材料，请回答下列各题： Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. There

was a time when college was a place where young adults could expand their horizons. But as tuitions increase, student debt mounts and job prospects for recent graduates remain uncertain, today, students and parents say college should prepare students for a good job. 87.9% of freshmen this year say a very important reason for going to college is to be able to get a better job," according to an annual survey by UCLAs Cooperative institutional Research Program. And parents are more likely to strongly agree that vocational school--or no college at al-provides a better pathway to a good job than does a liberal arts education, says a survey by Inside Higher Ed, a trade publication. The number of schools awarding more than hag of their bachelors degrees in liberal-arts disciplines, such as history, literature and philosophy, has decreased, from 212 in 1990 to 130 last year, research by Vicki Baker, a professor Albion College in Michigan, shows. Meanwhile, governors of Texas, Florida, Wisconsin and, most recently, North Carolina, argue that public universities should focus on majors, especially in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math that will meet their states workforce needs. Even President Obama has made jobs central to his higher-education agenda. Supporters of the liberal arts say criticisms are based on outdated stereotypes. Many liberal arts colleges, including Shimer, have increased opportunities for internships (实习..North Carolinas Davidson College will start a program this summer that will connect graduating seniors with paid fellowships at non-profits. Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N. C., posts data so students can see where graduates with their major shave landed jobs--including art history majors at Sothebys Deloitte Consulting and Kate Spade. On the other hand, more than 35 business schools last month met to talk about how to incorporate; the liberal arts into their courses. "Theres a sense that business education has become too narrow and isnt preparing graduates adequately--for career success, certainly--but also more broadly for lives as engaged citizens," says Judith Samuelson of the non-profit Aspen Institutes Business and Society program which organized the meeting. What do we learn about college from the first paragraph？

A.It can help young adults broaden their horizons.

B.People has changed their requirement of it.

C.It cannot prepare graduates for a good job now.

D.People cannot afford its mounting tuitions.

&8226;Look at the statements below and the following Computer Types. &8226;Which type of c

&8226;Look at the statements below and the following Computer Types.

&8226;Which type of computer (A, B, C or D) does each statement (1-7) refer to？

&8226;For each statement (1-7), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.

&8226;You will need to use some of these letters more than once.

A Microcomputer

A microcomputer is a desktop or notebook size computing device that uses a microprocessor as its Central Processing Unit, or CPU. Microcomputers are also called Personal Computers (PCs), home computers, small business computers, and micros. The smallest, most compact are called laptops. When they first appeared, they were considered single user devices, and they were capable of handling only four, eight, or 16 bits of information at one time. More recently the distinction between microcomputers and large, mainframe. computers (as well as the smaller mainframe. type systems called minicomputers) has become blurred, as newer microcomputer models have increased the speed and data handling capabilities of their CPUs into the 256 bit. or even much more bit multi-user range.

B Minicomputer

A minicomputer is a mid-level computer built to perform. complex computations while dealing efficiently with a high level of input and output from users connected via terminals Minicomputers also frequently connect to other minicomputers on a network and distribute processing among all the attached machines. Minicomputers are used heavily in transaction processing applications and as interfaces between mainframe. computer systems and wide area networks.

C Mainframe. Computer

A mainframe. computer is a high level computer designed for the most intensive computational tasks. Mainframe. computers are often shared by multiple users connected to the computer via terminals. The most powerful mainframes, called supercomputers, perform. highly complex and time consuming computations and are used heavily in both pure and applied research by scientists, large businesses, and the military.

D Supercomputer

In computer science, supercomputers are large, extremely fast, and expensive computers used for complex or sophisticated calculations. Typically they are machines capable of pipelining instruction execution and providing vector instructions. A supercomputer can, for example, perform. an enormous number of calculations required to draw and animate a moving spaceship in a motion picture. Supercomputers are also used for weather forecasting, large scale scientific modeling and oil exploration and so on and so like.

They are often used for jobs like engineering design and testing, serious decryption, economic forecasting, etc.
