【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[精解] 本题是一个细节题,要求考生在理解了原文对应段落的文字以后,对相应的事实进行判断。回到原文“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.”,可以翻译为:“当《美国工程学名录》(Historic American Engineering Record一书的编撰人员希望为其美国工程学历史记录绘制机器图和工业过程的等角图时,唯一具备所需能力的大学生并非是工程学学生,而是建筑学校的学生”。再联系文章的中心思想,考生不难得出正确答案。 A.指出一些工程类学生的无能。错误,文章主要是针对现象的客观分析,没有这样浓厚的主观情绪。 B.指出一些传统工程教学中的疏漏。正确,实际上文章最后一段都在说传统工程类教育中忽略非语言思维的培养会导致一系列的问题。 C.赞扬一些建筑学校。错误,该选项和文章主题无关。 D.鼓励一些类似的比赛。错误,理由同 C。
