Civil engineering offers a particular challenge because almost every structure or system that is designed and built by civil engineers is unique. One structure rarely duplicates another exactly. Even when structures seem to be identical, site requirements or other factors generally result in modifications. Large structures like dams, bridges, or tunnels may differ substantially from previous structures. The civil engineer must, therefore, always be ready and winning to meet new challenges.
One can understand from the passage that the civil engineer ____.
is likely to have to modify the original design of a structure to suit the site
can rarely be persuaded to modify a design
always keeps to traditional designs
confines his interests to dams, bridges or tunnels
is less open to new ideas in construction than other engineers
It is argued in the passage that virtually no civil engineering work ____.
is substantially different from another
is exactly the same as any another
can be completed without benefit of other branches of engineering
can be as complicated as the construction of a dam
is affected by site requirements
According to the passage, since every site will have different requirements, ____.
modifications of all types should be avoided
the work of a civil engineer is likely to be monotonous
almost every bridge or dam will be different from every other
