单选题Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that's not what I did. I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice, I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren't studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them. I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering "factories" where they didn't care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist (人文学者) all in one. Now I'm not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college. The reality that has blocked my path to becoming the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.

单选题 Passage Three Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

单选题Puerto Rico Overview Puerto Rico, the original name for the city of San Juan, means "rich port". And while that name largely proved the natural Atlantic harbor found by Spanish explorers in the early 1500s, it easily describes the wealth of natural assets, urban diversity, and cultural treasures that make the city one of the most visited in the Caribbean today. There are a few practical reasons for its popularity: Americans don"t need a passport to visit; the currency is American; and, many cities offer direct flights. But that only emphasizes the stress-free appeal of vacationing on the island. San Juan"s history is palpable in the carefully restored and maintained historic quarter called Old San Juan. Here, the streets are paved in stones; the 16th-century fort still watches over the harbor; and shops, restaurants, hotels and cafes spill out of elegant colonial buildings—many painted in Caribbean pastels (蜡笔). As Spain"s New World trading outpost (前哨) from the early 16th century, San Juan was attacked continually by the English and Dutch until 1898, when the Spanish gave the island to the USA after the Spanish-American War. Tourism here got popular sometime after 1950, when mavericks (特立独行者) like Laurance S. Rockefeller developed resorts that attracted famous people of the age. When it comes to tourism, San Juan is truly Puerto Rico. From the historic quarter, the resort region is strung out along the Atlantic beaches (Condado to Isla Verde) all the way to the east coast. To do some exciting exploring, rent a car or hire a guide (taxi drivers often welcome commissions as guides). Travelers can stay in the metro area and make day trips to the island"s most important sites, including E1 Yunque National Forest and the dive sites off Fajardo on the east coast. A modern, busy and recently expanded highway links nearly the entire northern Atlantic coast.
