閱讀綜合輔導 [物理學類] 題目序號 題型歸類 第1題 中心主旨題型 第2題 反推題型 第3題 細節歸納推導題型 第4題 中心主旨題型 第5題 細節推導題型 Many objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science,but their form and function, their dimensions and appearance, were determinedby technologists, artisans, designers, inventors, and engineers usingnonscientific modes of thought. Many features and qualities of the objects thata technologist thinks about cannot be reduced to unambiguous verbaldescriptions; they are dealt with in the mind by a visual, nonverbal process.In the development of Western technology, it has been nonverbal thinking, byand large, that has fixed the outlines and filled in the details of ourmaterial surroundings. Pyramids, cathedrals, and rockets exist not because ofgeometry or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture in the mindsof those who built them. The creative shaping process of a technologists mind canbe seen in nearly every artifact that exists. For example, in designing adiesel engine, a technologist might impress individual ways of nonverbalthinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive sense of rightnessand fitness. What would be the shape of the combustion chamber? Where should bevalves be placed? Should it have a long or short piston? Such questions have arange of answers that are supplied by experience, by physical requirements, bylimitations of available space, and not least by a sense of form. Somedecisions such as wall thickness and pin diameter, may depend on scientificcalculations, but the nonscientific component of design remains primary. Design courses, then, should be an essential element in engineeringcurricula. 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 hardthinking, nonverbal thought is sometimes seen as a primitive stage in thedevelopment of cognitive processes and inferior to verbal or mathematicalthought. But it is paradoxical that when the staff of the HistoricAmerican Engineering Record wished to have drawings made of machinesand isometric views of industrial processes for its historical record ofAmerican engineering, the only college students with the requisite abilitieswere not engineering students, but rather students attending architecturalschools. If courses in design, which in a strongly analytical engineeringcurriculum provide the background required for practical problem-solving, arenot provided, we can expect to encounter silly but costly errors occurring inadvanced engineering systems. For example, early models of high-speed railroadcars loaded with sophisticated controls were unable to operate in a snowstormbecause a fan sucked snow into the electrical system. Absurd random failuresthat plague automatic control systems are not merely trivial aberrations; theyare a reflection of the chaos that results when design is assumed to beprimarily a problem in mathematics. 1.In the text, the author is primarily concerned with [A] identifying the kinds of thinking that are used bytechnologists. [B] stressing the importance of nonverbal thinking in engineeringdesign. [C] proposing a new role for nonscientific thinking in thedevelopment of technology. [D] contrasting the goals of engineers with those of technologists. 2.It can be inferred that the author thinks engineering curriculaare [A] strengthened when they include courses in design. [B] weakened by the substitution of physical science courses forcourses designed to develop mathematical skills. [C] strong because nonverbal thinking is still emphasized by most ofthe courses. [D] strong despite the errors that graduates of such curricula havemade in the development of automatic control systems. 3.Which of the following statements best illustrates the main pointof the first two paragraphs of the text? [A] When a machine like a rotary engine malfunctions, it is thetechnologist who is best equipped to repair it. [B] Each component of an automobile for example, theengine or the fuel tank has a shape that has been scientifically determined to be bestsuited to that components function. [C] A telephone is a complex instrument designed by technologistsusing only nonverbal thought. [D] The distinctive features of a suspension bridge reflect itsdesigners conceptualization as well as the physical requirements of itssite. 4.Which of the following statements would best serve as anintroduction to the text? [A] The assumption that the knowledge incorporated in technologicaldevelopments must be derived from science ignores the many nonscientificdecisions made by technologists. [B] Analytical thought is no longer a vital component in the successof technological development. [C] As knowledge of technology has increased, the tendency has beento lose sight of the important role played by scientific thought in makingdecisions about form, arrangement, and texture. [D] A movement in engineering colleges toward a technicians degreereflects a demand for graduates who have the nonverbal reasoning ability thatwas once common among engineers. 5.The author calls the predicament faced by the HistoricAmerican Engineering Record paradoxical most probably because [A] the publication needed drawings that its own staff could notmake. [B] architectural schools offered but did not require engineeringdesign courses for their students. [C] college students were qualified to make the drawings whilepracticing engineers were not. [D] engineering students were not trained to make the type ofdrawings needed to record the development of their own discipline. [答案與考點解析] 1.【答案】B 【考點解析】這是一道中心主旨題。本題的正確答案信息點在原文第一段的倒數第二句，該句強調nonverbal thinking的重要性。可見本題的正確選項應該是B。考生在破解中心主旨題時一定要首先找出原文的中心主旨句。 2.【答案】A 【考點解析】這是一道反推題。根據題干中的engineering curricula可將本題的正確答案信息來源確定在原文的第三段第一句。該句中should一詞的理解十分重要。should是應該做而實際上確沒有做。根據should一詞并且結合第三段第一句進行反推即逆向思維，可得出本題的正確選項是A。考生在解題時應該重視關鍵的語言信號詞，更要加強反推的能力。 3.【答案】D 【考點解析】本題是一道細節歸納推導題。其實只要考生抓住第一段中的中心主旨句（倒數第二句）和第二段中的中心主旨句（倒數第一句），就不難尋找出本題的正確答案D。要想知道某一段的主要含義就要首先找出該段的中心主旨句。另外考生在破解此類題型時還要善于根據中心主旨句進行合理的邏輯推導。 4.【答案】A 【考點解析】這是一道中心主旨題。如果考生抓住了全文的中心主旨句（第一段的倒數第二句）以及每段的中心主旨句（例如第二段的倒數第一句），就不難尋找出本題的正確選項A，因為該選項所強調的內容與這些中心主旨句所表達的內容是相互一致的。考生在破解中心主旨題型時一定要具備尋找和理解中心主旨句的能力。 5.【答案】D 【考點解析】本題是一道細節推導題。題干已經將本題的答案信息確定在第三段的尾句，該句強調的是engineering students在教育方面的缺陷，因此本題的正確選項應該是D。如果考生在理解此句時有困難，可借助于本段的主題句（第三段第一句）來破解本題。第三段第一句強調的是engineering curricula缺乏design courses。這句話同樣是表明engineering students在教育方面的缺失。考生在破解此類題型時一定要善于總結和歸納原文的信息。 [參考譯文] 許多日常使用的事物明顯受到了科學的影響，但它們的形狀和功能，它們的大小和外觀，是由工藝人員、工匠、設計師、發明家和工程師運用非科學思維模式來設計的。工藝人員所考慮物體的很多性質和特點不能歸結到毫不模糊的字面描述；在思維中，它們以一種視覺上的、非言語的方式被加以處理。在西方科技的發展過程中，大體上是由非言語思維刻畫了我們物質環境的輪廓并充實了其中的細節。金字塔、大教堂、火箭之所以存在，不是因為幾何學或熱力學的原因，而是因為在它們的制造者的頭腦中事先存在了這樣一幅畫面。 在幾乎每一件現存的人造制品身上都能看出工藝人員思維創造性的制作過程。比如說，在柴油發動機的設計中，通過不斷使用關于合適感和適當感的直觀體會，一個工藝人員得以用他個人的非語言思維來影響到機器本身。燃燒室的形狀應怎樣？閥門應該放在哪里？它應該有個長的活塞還是應該有個短的？這樣的問題有著由經驗、物理需要、可用空間的局限以及并非微不足道的形狀感等因素提供的一系列答案。某一些決定，比如壁厚和銷釘直徑，可能需要由科學的計算來定奪，但設計中的非科學成分仍然是主要的。 因此設計課程應該成為工程課程中的基本成份。非語言思維，這一工程設計的核心機制，包括了感受這一屬于藝術家的而非科學家的慣用手段。因為人們認為感受的過程不需要硬思維，非語言思維被視為認知過程發展的一個原始階段而且比語言和數學思維差。但令人感到自相矛盾的是，當《美國工程歷史名錄》的工作人員希望得到為其美國工程歷史記錄而繪制的機器圖和等比例圖時，唯一具有所需技能的大學生不是工程學大學生，而是就讀于建筑學院的大學生。 如果不能開設設計課程（它能在一個高度分析性工程學課程體系中提供解決實際問題的背景知識），我們就會在先進的工程系統中遇到愚蠢而同時會導致極大損失的錯誤。比如，裝載了精密控制設備的早期高速鐵路車輛模型不能在暴風雪中正常運行，原因是一個風扇將雪吸入到電子系統中。干擾著自動控制系統的荒唐的隨機故障不是輕微的失常；它們是一種混亂的反映，人們認為這種混亂主要在設計數學方面的問題時就會產生。
