本题的解题关键在于理解under­represented“代表人数不足的,代表人数低于适当比例的”。

BElon Musk is a man of big ambition. He says his goal is to save humanity. And as strange as that sounds, the South African­born, Canadian­American inventor might actually be doing it.On December 22nd, SpaceX, the company Musk founded,successfully launched its reusable Falcon 9 rocket. Themoment furthered Musk's goal of making space travel more affordable and eventually colonizing Mars for humanity's long­term survival. As if this wasn't enough, Musk, 44, is also the founder of Tesla, an electric car company. He has also helped to create three Internet start­ups including the online payment company PayPal. All of them could be said to have turned their industries upside down.The companies Musk started cover three areas: the Internet, sustainable energy and exploring space. Since college, Musk has believed that those areas will most affect the future of humanity and that he should spend his life working on them. “There's no shortage of people with a vision for the future,” Microsoft founder Bill Gates said to Vogue magazine. “What makes Elon special is his ability to make his vision come true.”Nothing showed this ability better than the crisis Musk faced in 2008. In 2008, both SpaceX and Tesla were in real danger. SpaceX's three launches had all failed and the company could afford only one more launch. But everything soon turned around. In September 2008, SpaceX launched its fourth rocket and it succeeded. It won a $1.6 billion contract with NASA. SpaceX was saved. Musk then shocked the investors and the tech world by pouring his entire personal savings into saving Tesla.Despite his success, Musk's ambition has not gone away. He has also been working on other ambitious projects in recent years.语篇解读:本文是记叙文。

C(2018·贵州省贵阳市六中调研)A decade ago, secondary and higher education was prized above all else. Apprenticeships (学徒工作) were viewed as an option for dropouts rather than a daring career choice. And the young men and women who didn't fit into the school system, preferring to create start­ups and focus on making a living in the busi ness world, were dismissed as wheeler­dealers (投机者).Nowthere're_no_birds_of_this_year_in_last_year's_nests. Youngpeople are being encouraged to think carefully about whetheracademia is right for them — this trend has been fuelled byrising university fees and a global shortage of many skillsthat were passed over in schools in recent years, ranging from web development to sales.Young people are required to stay in some kind of education or training until they are 18, but this learning may now take many forms. The Government runs its own platform to help interested youths find an apprenticeship that suits their skills and ambitions.Tom Hartley, who runs a high­end performance and classic car business based inDerbyshire, founded his first company at ju st 12 years old. “I had no school education,” he says. “Business was how I learned everything. I call it the Hartley University of Life.”His business, 43 years on, turns over £200m, and sells cars to high­net­worth individuals across the globe, from Hollywood celebrities to foreign royalty. Many years ago, Hartley was asked to explain why he had chosen to be self­educated and why he had supported his son Carl's decision to leave school and join the family business instead.“I got a lot of criticism at the time,” he says. “I tried to explain that you can't teach gut feelings on a blackboard and that school is fine if you want to be a doctor or fly a rocket to the moon but otherwise it's all about experience in business.”语篇解读:十年前,人们很重视中高等教育,学徒工作被认为是辍学者的一种选择,而不是一种大胆的职业选择。
