1、阅读下面的短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
We will finally grow up one day, leaving our parents and facing the challenges in life. Parents may not be able to solve every problem for us. ①Instead, we should have enough life skills so that we can deal with the problems in our life.
This is what our country tries to do now: Helping more students gain working spirit. To stress (强调) the importance of hard-working spirit education (劳动教育) among students of different ages, the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council released a guideline (指南) recently. The guideline calls for students to respect work. ②学生们应该通过劳动学会必要的生活技能。The government keeps stressing the importance of hard-working spirit education. But this has been overlooked in recent years. Many teens do not value the importance of working hard and are not interested in doing so.
③The guideline says that schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hard-working spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience. ④例如,学校可以教同学们怎样植树。
As children’s first teachers, parents should also encourage children to do chores at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms. ⑤If you don’t have these skills, your education will be incomplete.

25、
It is the second-brightest object in our night sky after the moon. It is one of man’s greatest scientific achievements. It is the International Space Station (ISS) (国际空间站) that travels around the earth.
November 20th, 2018 marks the 20th birthday of ISS. In 1998, the first piece of the station was sent into space. Since then, 230 people from 18 countries have visited it. Five space agencies (航天局)—those of the United States, Russia, Canada, Europe and Japan—worked together to build it. Weighing about 450 tons, it has many different parts in it, including labs and solar panels. Generally, the ISS holds three to six people at one time. Astronauts living there work on different science projects. The ISS has over 1,500 such projects, according to NASA.
But the station is getting old. In 2011, Russia announced that the ISS would be stopped working in 2020 in order to prevent it from becoming dangerous “space junk”. But the US later said they would repair it to make its service life longer to 2025, International Business Times reported.
The ISS costs $3-4 billion (21-28 billion yuan) each year. Many have argued that this money could be better spent improving conditions on the Earth.
Under the pressure of the public, last February, US President Donald Trump announced plans to end support for the ISS by 2025. The US will use its money for other projects, like next-generation rockets and deep-space missions, the Washington Post reported.
What will happen to the ISS after 2025 is unknown. Former astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman told NBC News, “Other ISS partners may continue scientific studies on it. Private companies might turn it into a space hotel.”
【1】After being repaired, the ISS will serve for another ________ years according to the US.
A.5 B.14 C.22 D.27
【2】Which of the following is TRUE about the ISS?
A.It is the brightest object in our night sky.
B.It has received 18 people from different countries.
C.It was built by five countries including an Asian one.
D.It has less than 1, 500 projects for astronauts to work on.
【3】Paragraph 4 is written to ________.
A.explain how much it is to keep the ISS running
B.explain why America made the following plans
C.show that it was not necessary to build the ISS
D.show that most people were against building the ISS
【4】We can infer from this passage that ________.
A.the United States will stop supporting space work
B.nobody knows what will happen to the ISS after 2025
C.the ISS is one of man’s greatest scientific achievements
D.there will be other possible uses of the ISS in the future
26、阅读理解
What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler…, and don’t forget a bottle of water!
According to a study at the British Psychological ( 心理学的) Society Annual Conference held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10 percent.
Scientists at the University of East London and the University of Westminster, UK, did a study on 447 students. The students were studying for different degrees (学历) at the University of East London. Only 25 percent of them entered the exam hall with something to drink.
Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought drinks with them got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.
It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on our brains. Drinking water may also_____anxiety ( 焦虑), which has a bad effect on exam performances, according to Chris Pawson, PhD, of the University of East London.
“Whatever the explanation, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的)with water during exams,” he said.
So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you.Who knows – it may help you pass the exam!
【1】How much may the students improve their grades most if they bring water into exams?
A. By 2%. B. By 8%.
C. By 10%. D. By 25%.
【2】How many students in the study got better grades?
A. About112 students who brought drinks or water into their exams.
B. All the447 students who come from the University of East London.
C. About300 students who took part in the study.
D. About10 percent of the students who studied different subjects.
【3】The underlined phrase “cut down on” probably means _______.
A. increase B. bring
C. reduce D. change
【4】According to the passage, how does water help students in exams?
a. It is good for their brains. b. It makes students smarter.

27、What do you do if you’re stranded (处于困境的)on a lonely island?Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of Body signals(信号).
Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line,it means “yes”. When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side ,it means“no”. If you want the pilot to know that it’s safe to land,push your hands out in front of you and bend(弯曲)your knees. If you want to say that it’s not safe to land ,put your arms in the air and move them to one side.
Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away ,so it’s a good way to draw attention .If the weather is dry,it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you’re sure that it can’t spread .If the ground is dark,light smoke can be seen more easily .Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground-to-air signals
It’s a good idea to build some signals,too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记).If you can’t find any wood,use earth. Some useful symbols are:
F “I need food and water”.
II “I need medicine”.
I “I am badly hurt”.
X “I am unable to move from here.”
Pilots’ replies
If the pilot lowers the plane’s wings from side to side ,this means“message received and understood”(At night,the pilot flashes the plane’s green lights.)If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle ,this means“message received but not understood”.(At night ,the pilot flashes the plane’s red lights.)
However,there is no signal which means “message not received”. Why not?
【1】Which picture means“it’s not safe to land”?
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A、Swinging your arm from side to side means“yes”.
B、If the ground is dark,light smoke can’t be seen.
C、If you need some medicine ,make a symbol “II”.
D、The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.
【3】What is the passage mainly about?
A、The explanation of building signals on an island .
B、The importance of building signals on an island.
C、Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.
D、Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island.
28、Fears are something we all have. You need to face your fears and to get over them. However, it’s easier said than d【1】. Running away from your fears doesn’t make them leave. It just makes them b【2】 than ever. We’re never going to be completely fearless of everything we do, but we can at l【3】 be more fearless and confident.
What are the fears that scare(吓唬) you much? Check w【4】 they are and get them out in the open. Are they things like height or snakes? Are you a【5】 to talk to girls or boys? Are you so shy that you are fearing to say the wrong things? These are common fears that i【6】 your daily lives.
Before you can f【7】 them, you need to learn more about what makes you fearful of these situations. Communicating your fear is one way. Other people may be able to realize your anxiety(焦虑) b【8】 they know something you don’t.It could be from past experience, something that you could never forget and has made you fearful since then.
To face fears, you have to believe in something. It’s a very healthy way of letting you feel as if nothing can go w【9】. When you feel that way, you may be able to think differently about your f【10】. You will be able to believe that everything will be okay. Everything does end up being okay.
29、Gilbert joined the Science Club last summer. One day he was given a piece of paper, a block of wood and four wheels; he was told to go home and ________ them all to his dad. However, Gilbert’s mom knew that his dad wasn’t good at making things and decided that she would read the ________ and let Gilbert do the work. A few days later the block of wood was turning into a car that Gilbert ________ named “Blue Lightning”. Then he and his mother went to a car race together. But when they ________ there, Gilbert found that all the other cars were made by “father-son” partnership (合作).
The race began. One by one the cars were knocked out until it ________ to the final between Gilbert and Jimmy. Just before the race. Gilbert asked ________ they could stop for a minute so that he could make a wish. After a long minute, Gilbert said that he was ________.
People cheered as the race began. Jimmy stood with his father and watched their car racing down the road while Gilbert was surprised at the great ________of his car as it rushed over the finishing line less than a second ________ Jimmy’s. Gilbert jumped up and down with excitement.
Soon the club manager came over and asked him, “So, Gilbert, your wish was to win, right?” “Oh no, sir,” he replied. “I just wished that I wouldn’t cry if I lost.”
Children sometimes ________ adults with unexpected ideas. When Gilbert first saw the other cars, he didn’t cry out. “Not fair! Other children had their fathers’ help!” Gilbert didn’t wish for victory in the race, instead he wished for courage.
