【題目】Get a taste of the amazing world of engineering

Do you want to help shape the future of everything from entertainment and transport to sport and the environment? Then you might want to think about the fascinating world of engineering. Tomorrow's Engineers Week is running 4-8 February 2020, and is the perfect time to get an idea of what engineering is all about.

Engineers are the people who use scientific knowledge, ranging from long-established scientific laws to cutting-edge discoveries, to solve problems and improve life for all of us. Tomorrow's Engineers Week aims to get young people interested in this exciting career. It also wants to change the way we think about engineers.

One place to find out more about engineers is the website thisisengineering.org.uk, where you can meet 16 young engineers with amazing and different jobs. There's Halvard, who builds farm robots; and Olivia, who uses her chemical engineering skills to create soaps and shampoos kind to the skin and the environment. Alice digs train tunnels deep underground. Michelle builds rides. As a child, she loved these thrilling rides. At the age of 14, she attended a lecture on roller coaster design, and then she realized that engineering was a great way to turn her passion into her career.

If you want to meet some inspirational engineers, ask if your school has signed up to take part in the Big Assembly (大型集會) on 6 February. Don't worry if not, though, you can check it out yourself afterwards on the tomorrowsengineers.org.uk website.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了Tomorrow's Engineers Week這一活動，并鼓勵學生積極參加。

【1】細節理解題。根據文章第二段內容“Tomorrow's Engineers Week aims to get young people interested in this exciting career.( 明天的工程師周這個項目旨在讓年輕人對這個令人興奮的職業感興趣。)”可知，明日工程師周項目的目的在于吸引年輕人對這個職業的興趣。故選D項。

【2】細節理解題。根據文章第三段末尾內容“Michelle builds rides. As a child, she loved these thrilling rides. At the age of 14, she attended a lecture on roller coaster design, and then she realized that engineering was a great way to turn her passion into her career.( 米歇爾設計飛車項目。當她還是個孩子的時候，她就喜歡這些刺激的游樂設施。14歲時，她參加了一場關于過山車設計的講座，然后她意識到，工程學是把她的熱情轉化為事業的好方法。)”可知，Michelle設計了過山車。故選D項。

【3】推理判斷題。根據文章末尾內容“If you want to meet some inspirational engineers, ask if your school has signed up to take part in the Big Assembly on 6 February. Don't worry if not, though, you can check it out yourself afterwards on the tomorrowsengineers.org.uk website(如果你想見到一些鼓舞人心的工程師，問問你的學校是否已經報名參加2月6日的大會。如果沒有，也不用擔心，你可以在tomorrowsenginees.org.uk網站上查看)”由此判斷出，本文的目的是鼓勵參加這個活動。故選B項。

細節理解題

考查內容主要涉及時間、地點、人物、事件、原因、結果、數字等議論文中例證細節和定義類細節。這類題目的共同特點是：答案一般都能在文章中找到。事實細節題可選用尋讀法。比如文章第1小題：

The goal of Tomorrow's Engineers Week is to________.

A．introduce young engineers

B．announce the latest discoveries

C．show the future work of engineers

D．attract the youth' s interest in engineering

根據題干進行尋讀，定位到文章第二段內容原句“Tomorrow's Engineers Week aims to get young people interested in this exciting career.”，與選項進行對比選擇，D項“attract the youth' s interest in engineering”與原文“get young people interested in this exciting career”為同義表達。因此D項為答案。
