Question

【題目】Mechanical Engineering

Do you like to build with blocks? Have you ever wondered how planes stay in the air? Do you like to design and create new things? If you do，a career(職業(yè)）in mechanical engineering might be right for you！

A mechanical engineer is responsible for coming up with and designing mechanical systems. Mechanical systems can include machine design，heating and cooling equipment，and product design.

Mechanical engineers are in high need right now. There are a lot of job openings for mechanical engineers，but there aren't enough people to fill those jobs. Because there is a high need for engineers and the work requires specialized knowledge，engineers get paid more than some other careers.

To be a mechanical engineer，you need to graduate from college with a bachelor's(學士）degree. In college，you will learn problem solving and critical thinking skills.

Problem solving is very important in the field of mechanical engineering.To come up with the best solution to a problem，mechanical engineers need to think in different ways. They also need to be creative，because they may need to make something that's never been made before. Paying attention to details(細節(jié)）is important as well. Many designs depend on a lot of little details.

Mechanical engineers also need to be able to use different tools，such as calculators，high-speed cameras，and computers. There are many computer programs mechanical engineers use to create designs，run scenarios（方案），and do research.

As with many other jobs，mechanical engineers should be able to meet deadlines(期限）and work well with other people. Some jobs can be done with just one person， but more often mechanical engineers work on a team to complete a project. If an engineer cannot manage his or her time well and misses a deadline，the whole team gets delayed(拖延）．

Some engineers work in an office，and some travel to different worksites while a machine or product is being built，so they can help solve any problems.

Mechanical engineering takes a lot of thought. It is a great career for people who like to make objects and machines work，solve problems，and be creative！

【解析】

文章主要介紹了與機械工程師這種職業(yè)。包括工作職責以及相關(guān)要求。

【1】根據(jù)文中“A mechanical engineer is responsible for coming up with and designing mechanical systems.”可知，機械工程師負責提出和設(shè)計機械系統(tǒng)。故答案：1. He/ She is responsible for coming up with and designing mechanical systems.。

【2】根據(jù)文中“In college, you will learn problem solving and critical thinking skills.”可知，學生在大學將學習解決問題和批判性思維技巧。故答案：He/ She will learn problem and critical thinking skills.。

【3】根據(jù)“To come up with the best solution to a problem，mechanical engineers need to think in different ways.”，“They also need to be creative”和“Paying attention to details(細節(jié)）is important as well.”可知，為了找到解決問題的最佳方法，機械工程師需要用不同的方式思考，需要有創(chuàng)造力和注意細節(jié)。故答案：They need to think in different ways, be creative and pay attention to details. 。

【4】根據(jù)文中“If an engineer cannot manage his or her time well and misses a deadline，the whole team gets delayed(拖延）．”可知，如果工程師不能很好地管理自己的時間而錯過最后期限，整個隊伍都被拖延。故答案：Because if an engineer misses a deadline, the whole team gets delayed. 。

【5】根據(jù)“Some engineers work in an office，and some travel to different worksites while a machine or product is being built”可知，工程師在辦公室或不同的工作地點工作。故答案：They work in an office or on different worksites.。
