As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations（语调） of the driver’s accent washed over me in a familiar way.‎ I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family. I could relate: I am the daughter of two ‎ Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. That’s how he found out I go to Harvard. An approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window, and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter, all grown up—the product of his sacrifice.‎ And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didn’t even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?”‎ Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know. We are to become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous)---to make money and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative（故事）of upward mobility so your children can do the same.‎ I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, I’ve promised myself I won’t huff and get annoyed at their inquiries. I won’t defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school!” When I get unrequested advice, I’ll just smile and nod，and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.‎ ‎21. What disappointed the driver?‎ A. The author’s interests in African American studies.‎ B. The author’s majors in history and literature.‎ C. The school that the author is attending.‎ D. The author’s attitude towards him.‎ ‎22. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “squandering” in Paragraph 4?‎ A. seizing B. creating C. valuing D. wasting 、‎ ‎23. Wow did the author react to the driver’s questioning?‎ A. Getting upset B. Appreciating his concern.‎ C Defending herself. D. Feeling satisfied,‎ B Scientists have found living organisms trapped in crystals（晶体）that could be 50,000 years old. The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica，Mexico. These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope, Penelope Boston，who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the United States, says the ancient microbes were able to HVJS by eating minerals such as iron.‎ She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground* area. The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives.‎ The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was separated from the surface and the outside world. Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe’s Middle Ages. There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs （病菌）or other damage, Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.‎ NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last week, s announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them. “Why are we surprised?” Noonan asked. “As a biologist, I would say life on earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful” ‎ Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries, such as Ukraine and the United States. These microbes appear to be impossible to kill. Boston said they show how difficult life on earth can be.‎ ‎24. The existence of the ancient microbes relies on .‎ A. eating minerals B. surrounding insects C. diverse plants D. absorbing air ‎25. What can we infer about the caves in Naica from the passage?‎ A. The walls were built during Middle Ages.‎ B. The temperature in the caves is quite low.‎ C. The caves have been explored since they were formed,‎ D. The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to.‎ ‎26. What is the biologist Norine Noonan’s attitude towards the findings?‎ A. Neutral. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.‎ ‎27. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Living organisms bring hope to scientific research.‎ B. Caves provide living environment for living organisms.‎ C. Scientists discover 50,000-year-old “super life” in Mexico.‎ D, Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions.‎ C In the mid-2000S, Waze Mobile co-founder Ehud Shabtai received a cutting-edge（尖端的）gift from his girlfriend: a GPS, The expensive gift was supposed to be helpful. But straight out of the box, it was already out of date.‎ Shabtai, a coding enthusiast, had an immediate reaction to reinvent. Shabtai’s solution? To build an app. With 50 million monthly active users globally and nearly 400,000 superusers who function much like Wikipedia volunteer editors (editing maps rather than words), Waze Mobile caught the eye of Google as a revolutionary approach to navigation（导航）.‎ Acquired by Google in 2013, Waze’s value mainly lies in its high rate of user involvement, Unlike traditional, navigation apps that simply, show directions, Waze asks its users to report accidents and other road conditions in real time, so other users can avoid the traffic by using an alternative route.‎ The goal behind Waze’s approach is an ambitious one: not just avoid traffic, ‎ but end it altogether. Waze is finding new ways to put its loyal and active user base lo use to make that vision a reality, including a plan to make carpooling（拼车）cool.‎ To be sure, traffic jams are troubling people all over the world. Waze has been quietly ahead of the game for some time. In 2013, when Waze was just a small digital-mapping business with limited resources, it had something Google Maps and other competitors didn’t: richer GPS guidance thanks to its stream of live traffic reports from users.‎ These users were the basis of Shabtai’s plan to solve for his GPS device’s “silent” hardware: he grounded the app in software that could be perpetually updated by users, anywhere and anytime.‎ Waze Carpool is going straight to the heart of traffic jams, trying to get more drivers off the road and into carpools. The app has already connected tens of thousands of rideseekers with drivers willing to ferry them along a shared route, and that trend could be the answer to a traffic-free future.‎ ‎28. What did Shabtai do when he found his girlfriend’s gift out of date?‎ A. He put it away. B. He took it apart.‎ C. He improved it. D. He used it anyway.‎ ‎29. What sets Waze Mobile apart from traditional navigation apps?‎ A. It has the most users.‎ B. It can indicate directions.‎ C Most users help edit its words.‎ D. It reports road conditions in real time,‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word in paragraph 6 probably mean?‎ A. Difficulty B. Constantly C. Greatly. D. Carefully. ‎ ‎31. What is mainly talked about in the text? ‎ A. The rise of carpooling. B. Traffic problems in the world.‎ C. The development of Google. D. An advanced navigation app.‎ D Skeptics are a strange lot. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.‎ Perhaps that explain why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity. That book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg’s views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities though the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.‎ So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborg’s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”‎ Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg’s “preference for unexamined materials is incredible”。‎ A critical (批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half-blind before a world partially exhibited by the media. That’s a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.‎ ‎32. According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”?‎ A. People who agree on the popularity of “ecoguilt”.‎ B. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.‎ C. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.‎ D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.‎ ‎33. Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg’s books?‎ A. Industry–funded media present confusing information.‎ B. The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.‎ C. The author convinces people to seek comforting worldviews.‎ D. Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests.‎ ‎34. The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to_____.‎ A. challenge the authority of the media B. find fault with Lomborg’s book ‎ C. voice a different opinion D. point out the value of scientific views.‎ ‎35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?‎ A. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.‎ B. To blame the media’s lack of responsibility in presenting information.‎ C. To warn the public of the danger of half–blindness with reviews.‎ D. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.‎ E Shorts may feel nice and casual on your legs on a warm summer’s day，but they’re not so gentle on your wallet. 36 Usually the fact that one obviously uses less cloth than the other makes it hard to be accepted. So what gives?‎ It turns out clothing sellers aren’t trying to cheat you by charging you too much money. They5re just pricing shorts according to what it costs to produce them. 37 Extra material does go into a full pair of pants but not as much as you may think. As experts explain, shorts that don’t fall past your knees may contain just a fifth less cloth than ankle-length trousers, 38 .‎ Those same details that end up accounting for most of the material—pockets, belt loops, waist- bands—also require the most human labor to make. 39 The physical cotton in blue jeans accounts for just a small part of its price tag, Most of that money goes to pay the people stitching（缝合）it together, and they put in roughly ‎ the same amount of time whether they’re working on a pair of pants or some shorts.‎ ‎ 40 For another example, short-sleeved shirts cost roughly the same as long-sleeved shirts, There are also numerous invisible factors that make some shorts more expensive than nearly identical pairs, like where they were made, marketing costs, and the brand on the label. If you don’t want to spend $40 on something that covers just a small piece of leg, stay at home with your wallet!‎ A. More or less, shorts almost cost what pants do.‎ B. This is where the true cost of a garment is determined.‎ C. This is because most of the cloth is sewn into the top half.‎ D. This price trend becomes popular across the fashion field E. To tell you the truth, it is a real bargain to pay for a pair of shorts.‎ R. In general a pair of shorts isn’t any cheaper than a pair of pants.‎ G. Customers are willing to purchase a pair of shorts if it is at a reasonable price.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（百强校英语解析团队专供）（共三节，满分55分）‎ 第—节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ When I was in my twenties, I travelled alone through the UK.
