1、阅读下面的短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
Our school’s science festival just ended a few days ago. What impressed(使留下深刻印象) me most was the time we spent making a car. It was made of corrugated cardboard(瓦楞纸板), but can still hold a person, as well as move.
1.我们对这个想法很激动, 但我们发现做辆车很难。It seemed impossible for a cardboard car to carry someone. Our physics teacher showed us a video. In the video, there was some corrugated cardboard shaped like a “V” or “W”. It is tougher (更加坚固) and can hold more weight. This gave us the idea to make the car after getting the proper materials.
2.Because there was not much time left for us, we had to finish it as quickly as possible. We talked about how the car should be made and how to do experiments with it. I was glad that we were able to work closely with each other. 3.每个人都认为这是个有趣的放松方法。Indeed, enjoying the process helped us feel less stressed. 4.When the car was finally finished, we all wore a smile on our faces and found that all our hard work had been worth it, even after spending the whole afternoon working on it.
We joined the competition after we finished the car. 5.Though we didn’t win, we found something more meaningful than success. We learned new things about physics and learned how to get along with each other.

24、The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means (通讯设备). Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is not helpful. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal(煤)in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused(引起)by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. Also, we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.

A. Because of the rise in pollution

25、A restaurant in Beijing has recently warmed people’s hearts with a special set meal offered for free in that cold winter.
The “Set Meal A” offered by the food shop contains a bowl of beef noodles, which is worth 22 yuan. It is offered for free to people in need, like new graduates with little income or sanitation workers (环卫工人).

27、Chinese teahouses are the traditional ancient cafes of the east, for getting together and chatting with friends and generally passing the time.
In recent years the tradition has been refreshed, becoming fashionable in modern cities. “The teahouse has become a place for people to not only enjoy tea and relax, but also to experience Chinese culture, hold social activities, host private parties and conduct business discussions.” said Wu Xiduan, secretary-general of the China Tea Circulation Association.
The Lao She Teahouse, named after the famous Chinese writer Lao She and one of his works Teahouse, is the most famous of all the teahouses. It is in Qianmen, the busiest commercial area of old Beijing, neighbouring Tian’anmen Square. It is where customers go for a traditional old-Beijing taste. They can watch all kinds of Chinese performances and enjoy Beijing-style snacks and dishes, which were eaten by Qing Dynasty Emperors. The Lao She Teahouse recreates the charm of old Beijing, which makes it a must for foreigners, who, from around the world, may come to appreciate Beijing Opera, drama, acrobatics and other Beijing folk arts, as well as enjoy tea.
In general, it costs around 100 yuan to drink tea and watch a performance in the Lao She Teahouse. Jasmine tea is the favorite of many old Beijingers, with its pure, clear taste and strong, pleasant smell. Surprisingly, when boiling water is poured in the glass, the ordinary jasmine tea ball turns into a beautiful flower. It’s definitely on the menu at the Lao She Teahouse. Also, it would be a pity to miss the performance of the Xiao’ers while you’re watching the shows. Every Xiao’er at the Lao She Teahouse carries a special copper pot with a metre-long spout (壶嘴). The long spouted pot is a special heirloom (传家宝) in an old Beijing teahouse, especially designed for making green tea. Through this long spout, the temperature of the water drops to the correct 80 degrees centigrade, so customers can enjoy the best smell.
Dawan tea is just as famous as the long-spouted teapot. The Chinese name means “inexpensive tea in a big tea bowl” and it was another old Beijing teahouse specialty. It’s said that the founder of Lao She Teahouse, started his business by serving Dawan tea for just two cents each. And today it’s the only teahouse still serving Dawan tea for two cents a bowl, even though it brings nothing in.
【1】How are the teahouses today different from the old ones?
A.People can enjoy tea and relax themselves.
B.Friends can chat with each other to pass the time.
C.Coffee can be served with traditional Chinese performances.
D.People can experience Chinese culture and discuss business.
【2】Why is the spout of the copper pot a metre long?
A.It is able to keep the copper pot very hot.
B.It is a special heirloom in an old Beijing teahouse.
C.It can make sure the water is poured at the proper temperature.
D.It can stop the water from getting out of the cover of the teapot.
【3】What can we learn about Lao She Teahouse from the passage?
A.It can not make any money.
B.It is a good example of old Beijing.
C.Its performance is more popular than its tea.
D.Its Dawan tea is famous for the pure and clear taste.
【4】What can be the best title of this passage?
A.The Performance in Teahouse
B.Teahouse and Traditional Culture
C.Lao She Teahouse with Tradition
D.The History of Lao She Teahouse

Graduation Ceremony (毕业典礼)
Cindy and Daniel were waiting for their turn to go across the stage (舞台). No, it wasn’t the talent show. It was for graduation! They were both so nervous, and it was hard to think about anything except the huge stage.

Daniel _______ his friend step across the stage, stop to shake hands, get pictures done, and then exit on the opposite side.
