airport for a flight home for the holidays. as i slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations(語調(diào)) of the drivers 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. thats how he found out i go to harvard. an approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window(后視鏡), 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 didnt 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, im grateful for their support more than anything. this holiday season, ive promised myself i wont huff (發(fā)怒)and get annoyed at their inquiries. i wont defensively respond with “but i plan to go to law school!” when i get unrequested advice. ill just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.24. what disappointed the driver?a. the authors attitude towards him.b. the school that the author is attending.c. the authors majors in history and literature.d. the authors interests in african american studies.25. which of the following can replace the underlined word “squandering” in paragraph

well.c. they have more opportunities.d. they are very smart in general. 27. how did the author react to the drivers questioning?a. getting upset.b. feeling satisfied.c. defending herself.d. appreciating his concern. cthis holiday weekend will be about more than thanksgiving treats and extra days off from school for eighth-grader shreya nair. shreya will also spent some of her time conducting an interview that will end up in the library of congress.shreya, 13, is participating in a storycorps initiative(新方案，倡議) called the great thanksgiving listen. the project encourages students to interview family members and friends about their lives in an effort to preserve the stories and voices of an older generation.“it would be interesting to see her view on life and how its different from mine based on the circumstances she grew up in,” shreya said about her interview.storycorps aim is to use audio(錄音) to preserve the stories of people of all ages and backgrounds. students will be able to record their interviews using a new app and upload them to the storycorps archive(檔案室)at the library of congress.shreyas english teacher decided to get involved in spreading the word about the project, by assigning the interview as homework.alison matthews teaches shreya at mccall middle school in winchester, massachusetts. she incorporated(納入) the storycorps interview assignment into a unit on the book, the giver. matthews describes the novel as a “story about this community where theres one man the giver who holds all the memories of the community.”“the storycorps project fit in so perfectly. the library of congress is the keeper of our memories. so i asked kids to think about the importance of memory in our society,” matthews said. shreya said that her classmates like the assignment.”its an interview that will help us not only understand the book were reading right now, but help us later in life,” shreya said. “one of the things i like about the project is you get to hear so many other peoples voices,” she added. “sometimes in this world it feels like our opinion is the only one, but when you sit down and listen, its amazing what it can

survival in an environment that as too little oxygen or none at all. early examples of escape sets consisted only of an air bag, which was typically not enough to keep a person alive long enough for a successful rescue. later scientists made use of rebreather technology, which has also led to the use of escape sets in dry land applications, such as mines.the development of the escape set went hand in hand with the early use of submarines. there used to be no way to rescue a crew when submarines broke down, so a variety of ways were tried. a simple air bag was able to keep crew members alive for a while, though this often did not provide enough oxygen for the individual to reach the surface. when the rebreather was developed, it was combined with the older air bag concept to create something like the modern escape set.a basic escape set design consists of a mask or head covering, bottled oxygen, and some type of rebreather equipment. this type of device can keep a limited amount of breathing gas usable for an extended period of time, increasing the chance of survival when escaping from a submarine, mine, or another dangerous environment. rebreathers have also been used throughout the years by military divers, photographers and other people working underwater.modern escape sets often include a variety of additional features that can increase the users safety. the mask is often combined with a hood(兜帽) that can help the nose and mouth from being filled with water. the primary limitation associated with escape sets is the breathing gas, which typically restricts them to relatively shallow use. deep water rescue usually involves more complex devices,such as escape capsules or rescue submarines.32. why cant an air bag be used for the escape set in submarines?a. because it is easily filled with air that has amounts of oxygen.b. because it cant provide enough oxygen for the individual.c. because it easily breaks down.d. because it is not convenient for use.33. what can we infer from the third paragraph?a. the rebreather is widely used in different fields.b. the rebreather is quite different from modern escape sets.c. the rebreather provides enough oxygen for people to survive.d. the rebreather includes lots of additional features to ensure users safety.34. the major drawback of the escape set is that_.a. it is too expensive to buildb. it is not very comfortable to wearc. it can only be used in shallow waterd. it produces too much carbon dioxide35. the author introduces the escape set mainly by_.a. giving examplesb. providing factsc. following space orderd. following time order第二節(jié): (共5小題，每小題2分) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從所給的七個選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)是多余選項(xiàng)。in the digital age, copying someone elses words is easy, but getting caught copying is even easier. when melania trump recently spoke at the republican convention, she used some of the same words that michelle obama had used at the democratic convention. within hours, news spread around the world with the claim that melania trump had copied michelle obamas speech. 36 . they learn from their early years in school that copying another writers words is wrong.why is copying a serious problem? unkefer, manager of academic writing services, says that when students first come to the university, they do not realize how serious the problem is. 37 academics are especially aware of the nature of plagiarism(剽竊), unkefer says, because their work is essentially the creation of ideas and putting them into words.consequences of plagiarism. american universities have strict rules about writing original work. 38 stanfords rule says plagiarism is “the use, without giving reasonable and appropriate credit to or acknowledging the author or source of another persons original work ”. 39 . that is, they cannot hand in the same work for more than one course without the permission of their instructors. 40 or at least, students may fail a course or be given a letter of strong criticism that stays on their school record.a. students and teachers at universities in the u.s. and elsewhere were shocked.b. one of the possible punishments for plagiarism at u.s. universities is dismissal(開除) from the school.c. harvard even warns students about copying themselves.d. she teaches new students the latin root of the word plagiarism to tell them how serious it is.e. the students who plagiarize will be criticized by their teachers.f. at stanford university, the definition of plagiarism shows that it includes more than just words.g. trumps assistant said that she just included some words of michelle obama unconsciously.第三部分：英語知識運(yùn)用 (共兩節(jié)，滿分45分)第一節(jié)：完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從各題所給的四個選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。one evening i was
