1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Fu Cong, known as the “greatest modern pianist” and “piano poet”, died of COVID-19 at a hospital in London last year. You may not be familiar with him, but you might have read the book Fu Lei’s Family Letters (《傅雷家书》) written by his father Fu Lei, a famous translator and writer, which influenced a generation of Chinese readers.

Fu Cong was born on March 10th, 1934, in Shanghai. A lover of classical music from a young age. 1.傅聪7岁的时候开始上钢琴课。But the chaos (混乱) of wartime China prevented him from receiving a systematic musical education. 2. Then in his teens, Fu Cong moved with his family to Yunnan, where he experienced an unusual period.

Between 1954 and 1966, Fu Cong spent a lot of time away from home to train as a piano player. 3.结果，写信成为了傅雷与儿子交流的常见方式。The letters fully showed Fu Lei’s family tradition and value. To Fu Lei, education is not only a family matter, but also something with great social value.

Fu Lei also advised his son to read famous Chinese texts. He told Fu Cong to fully understand their meanings and connect ideas with feelings in order to become a better person. Fu Lei thinks learning to be a good person comes before any academic (学术) training. On 27th December 1954, Fu Lei wrote, “Everyone should be a good person before becoming an expert in any field. Otherwise, 4. that person will not get much academic achievement, no matter how knowledgeable he is.”

5. Full of advice, encouragement, and a father’s love, Fu Lei’s Family Letters became a best seller in China. It has been sold more than one million copies in China and has been translated into Japanese and Korean. It helps many young students understand how they should live their lives.

24、Read the following four stories:

My wife and I were on our honeymoon in our homeland, visiting my parents-in-law. My wife Helen was making a film and my job was to make up the music, but I didn’t bring my guitar with me. I locked myself in the barn, where my parents-in-law raised some cows, and carved a guitar neck from a scrap (废弃的) piece of wood. In the barn, I found a drum, which used to be part of an old tape-recorder. It’s like a guitar, but it has four strings. So is it a balalaika or a guitar? They have something in common (共性). We call it a balalaika but it’s played differently.

Our daughter Kitty had just started school, so she needed a place to do her homework. There isn’t much room except a table in the kitchen. When my wife cooks, she needs to use the table. One day I walked past a rubbish bin and saw a folding(可折叠的) table lying there. I thought I could make something out of it. It was just the right size. I fixed a slab of board for the desk and made the back of the seat softer, then l oiled the screws so it is easier to fold.

Our dad’s friend made the Little House for his daughter. It was made of wood and bricks which were thrown away. And when she grew up, he offered it to us. So how long has it been standing here? I’m forty years old now, so it must be at least fifty. The man’s name was Bob. He’s not alive any more, but I still remember the nice time in the Little House. When my children were growing up, they used to say “We’re going to play in the Little House!” or “Where are you? I’m in the Little House!”

It’s a go-kart for my son Tom to ride down the hill. He wanted to make one so l helped him. l had bought him one, but he wasn’t satisfied with that. I just made it from pieces lying around. The wheels were from two different scrapped carts. My father-in-law had them in his barn. He doesn’t throw anything away. I only used cart parts, some wood, a cushioned seat, and a rope. It cost nothing. My son likes it so much. I feel so happy.

25、Nancy’s boss has just let her know that her customers’ products are about to leave the company. And then he tells her there’s a problem.

“The products were damaged (损坏) by someone in our company,” the boss says. “But this shouldn’t affect the use of the products. If the customers find it, we’ll say it was caused by the trucking (货运) company that delivered (运载) the products.”

Hearing this, Nancy feels uncomfortable. “But didn’t our workers damage the products?” Her boss looks at her, “Yeah, but the customers don’t know that. I’ll just say they were damaged while they were delivered. Don’t worry, the customers won’t even notice the damage.”

Nancy’s boss walks out. Nancy sits at her desk and she’s not sure what to do. She knows it’s dishonest to blame (将归咎于) the damage on the trucking company. It’s also dishonest to cheat her customers and give them less perfect products.

Many of us have to make decisions that make who we are and what we believe in. Most often, we face a choice that may seem insignificant (微不足道的). But this doesn’t mean that they’re not important to us because even the smallest action may make a difference to us.

27、On the first day of the New Year 2019, I made up my mind to go to Thailand to teach English as a volunteer. At the beginning, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the world. I didn’t know how fantastic my life would be in the coming months!

My journey began with attending TESOL certification (认证) course in my home state of Florida last February. After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours’ study online, I received my TESOL certificate.

I was asked to contact Philip, who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. After discussing with Philip, I chose my school and after many months of excitement, I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldn’t wait to explore the country!

After a few weeks of single travel, I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some cool sights and walk in Thailand’s cities! After that, I attended the week­long seminar (研讨会). At the end of the seminar, I was transported to my school—Anuban Buriram Primary School.

I truly love my job—I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most active kids in the world. It’s a truly fantastic thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else’s life, right in front of you!

Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People here are more friendly than anyone I’ve ever met—I’ve never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received, where everyone you pass is so friendly to say “Hello” and “Good morning”. I’ve been taken out to countless dinners, and been lent a guitar, a camera, and I am given Thai treats and the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to repay them in the future.

【1】To teach English in a foreign country, one has to________.

B．that the Thai treats are fresh and delicious

C．how generous and friendly the Thai people are

D．that he wants to repay the people who helped him

【4】The writer wrote this passage in order to________.

A．give some advice to future volunteers

B．encourage more people to travel in Thailand

D．tell us his voluntary experience in Thailand

28、   My daughter is 14 years old. One day, she asked me if she 【1】（能）have a cup of coffee in the morning like Mom and Dad. My husband is a scientist who 【2】（研究）the influence of caffeine（咖啡因）. So, luckily, I have more 【3】（可获得的）information to answer this question than most parents can.

Caffeine is something in coffee that helps wake you up. However, it can be found not just in coffee. In fact, many kids and 【4】（青少年）are taking in caffeine from several different sources（来源）. For children under the age of 12, the main source of it is soda. Let’s take Coca-Cola 【5】（作为）an example. A can of cola(335ml) includes about 35 milligrams of caffeine.

Children can also get caffeine from many other foods and drinks, including chocolate and chocolate milk. What’s more, some medicine that kids take might have caffeine as well. This is 【6】（确切地）what we don’t want. But coffee is the main source of caffeine among Americans 12 years and up.

According to years of research, one 【7】（日常的）cup of coffee is fine for kids over the age of 12. It isn’t harmful to them. However, they must 【8】（避免）all other sources of caffeine.

That one cup of coffee joined with, say, a bottle of soda or a piece of chocolate, may cause problems. What calls for special attention is that it might put kids over the limit（限定）of 100 milligrams of caffeine each day 【9】（医生）suggest.

Caffeine is in so many different foods and drinks. It’s really easy for kids to get more than they should without 【10】（认识到）it.
