二、閱讀理解題(本大題共20小題,每小題2分,共40分)
Passage One
Engineering is a profession, which means that an engineer must have a specialized university education. In the university, mathematics, physics, and chemistry are heavily emphasized throughout the engineering curriculum, particularly in the first two or three years. Mathematics is very important in all branches of engineering, so it is greatly stressed. Today, mathematics includes courses in statistics, which deals with gathering, classifying, and using numerical data, or pieces of information. An important aspect of statistical mathematics is probability, which deals with what may happen when there are different factors, or variables, that can change the results of a problem. Before the construction of a bridge is undertaken, for example, a statistical study is made of the amount of traffic the bridge will be expected to handle. In the design of the bridge, variables such as water pressure on the foundations, impact, the effects of different wind forces, and many other factors must be considered.
21. Mathematics is very important in all branches of engineering so ( D )
A. everyone is supposed to pass it B. it is nearly stressed
C. it is not stressed D. it is greatly stressed
22. In mathematics, statistics deals with ( B )
A. listening and speaking
B. gathering, classifying and using pieces of information
C. reading and writing
D. the study of mathematics
23. An important aspect of statistical mathematics is ( A )
A. probability B. different factors
C. variables D. numbers
24. Which one of the following is the main meaning of the passage? ( B )
A. Physics is very important in all branches of engineering.
B. Mathematics is very important in all branches of engineering.
C. Chemistry is very important in all branches of engineering.
D. All subjects are important for university students.
Passage Two
The uses of relatively new structural material are constantly being developed. The current tendency is to develop lighter materials. Aluminum, for example, weighs much less than steel but has many of the same properties. Aluminum beams have already been used for bridge construction and for the framework of a few buildings. Attempts are also being made to produce concrete with more strength and durability, and with a lighter weight. One system that helps cut concrete weight to some extent uses polymers, which are long chainlike compounds used in plastics, as part of the mixture.
25. The current trend of structural materials is ( B )
A. to develop heavier materials B. to develop lighter materials
C. to develop fewer materials D. to develop more materials
26. Aluminum weighs ( A )
A. much less than steel B. the same as steel
C. much heavier than steel D. much more than steel
27. Aluminum has ( C )
A. some properties of steel B. few properties of steel
C. many of the same properties of steel D. no properties of steel
28. Which of the following is true? ( B )
A. Aluminum beams can't be used for bridge construction.
B. Aluminum beams can't only be used for bridge construction but also the framework of a few buildings.
C. Aluminum beams can't be used for the framework of a few buildings.
D. Aluminum beams can only be used for the framework of a few buildings.
Passage Three
Whereas steel has great tensile strength, concrete has great strength under compression. Thus, the two substances complement each other. Steel and concrete also complement each other in another way: they have almost the same rate of contraction and expansion. They therefore can work together in situations where both compression and tension are factors. Steel rods are embedded in concrete to make reinforced concrete in concrete beams or structures where tension will develop. Concrete and steel also form such a strong bonds--the force that unites them--that the steel cannot slip within the concrete. Still another advantage is that steel does not rust in concrete. Acid corrodes steel, whereas concrete has an alkaline chemical reaction, the opposite of acid.
29. Steel and concrete have ( C )
A. different rate of contraction
B. different rate of expansion
C. almost the same rate of contraction and expansion
D. counteracted each other
30. We can know from the passage that reinforced concrete is ( A )

C. steel rods which react with concrete
D. steel rods which counteract with concrete
31. Which of the following is true? ( C )
A. steel can rust in concrete
B. concrete can corrode steel
C. steel does not rust in concrete
D. steel and concrete have physical reaction
32. According to the passage, concrete has ( B )
A. some kind of chemical that corrodes steel
B. an alkaline chemical reaction, the opposite of acid
C. some kind of acid
D. a physical reaction
Passage Four
It is well-known that civil engineering projects are almost unique; that is, each has its own problems and design features. Therefore, careful study is given to each project even before design work begins. The study includes a survey both of topography and subsoil features of the proposed site. It also includes a consideration of possible alternatives, such as a concrete gravity dam or an earth-fill embankment dam. The economic factors involved in each of the possible alternatives must also be weighed. Today, a study usually includes a consideration of the environmental impact of the project. Many engineers, usually working as a team that includes surveyors, specialists in soil mechanics, and experts in design and construction, are involved in making these feasibility studies.
33. It is well-known that civil engineering projects are ( A )
A. almost always distinctive B. the similar
C. alike D. the same
34. Each project before design work begins. ( D )
A. may not be considered
B. can't be studied
C. should not be taken into consideration
D. must be studied carefully
35. The study, which must consider not only structural features but also economic factors and possible alternatives or other choices, is called ( B )
A. system engineering B. feasibility study
C. structural design D. quality analysis
36. Which of the following is true? ( A )
A. Today civil engineering project need consider the environmental impact of the project.
B. Today the study about civil engineering project needn't consider the environmental impact of the project.
C. Today the study about civil engineering project needn't consider the resource impact of the project.
D. Today the study about civil engineering need not consider the economic factor of the project.
Passage Five
As we all know, vehicular safety design usually centers on protecting the driver and his passengers in case an accident occurs due to some other failure in the highway system. Examples of this type of design are safety belts and shoulder harnesses, safer door latches, non-shattering windshields, and energy absorbing steering columns. Improvements are made constantly in the parts of a vehicle which are obvious to the driver. These parts include windshield wipers, headlamps, brakes, steering suspension, and the exhaust system. The introduction of front and rear directional signals contributes greatly to motor vehicle safety. Stop lights, backup lights, and four-way emergency flashers also aid in vehicle safety. Four-way emergency flashers have become standard equipment for vehicles.
37. According to the passage, which is NOT mentioned? ( C )
A. safety belts B. safer door latches
C. brake pedal D. stop lights
38. According to the passage, which has become the standard equipment for vehicles? ( D )
