1、英汉互译阅读下面短文，将文中画线的句子译成汉语或英语。

Why is music an important subject that every child should study?

First of all, music helps us when we are unhappy, and gives us pleasure when we are happy. There are many different kinds of music: slow and fast, serious and relaxing. 1.我们可以听我们喜欢的音乐。And second,   music is fun. People enjoys playing a drum and using their energy.

2.科学家们认为孩子们应该被允许学习音乐。They say music helps children with language learning. Singing simple songs is good for young children. Music improves the ear and we know that children who have studied music can learn foreign languages more easily and pronounce them much better. 3.Students who have learnt to play music are also better at math. This is not surprising,   as music is mathematical (数学的), with notes in order. Playing music with other people also teaches children to work together. People who can play musical instruments always have something they can do at a party. Children who play in school bands enjoy school more and do not drop out of school early.

We need a lot of practice to play an instrument,   and it can be difficult for parents to ask their child to spend hours at the piano or playing the guitar. 4.So music practice should be a daily habit, but do not make the practice too long.

Parents should listen to their child playing and tell him or her that they enjoy it. Practice should also be fun. 5. It’s also a good idea to finish the practice with a piece of music the child likes, and so learning music will be a relaxing part of the day.

24、It was my first year teaching in a special needs classroom and I wasn’t sure what to expect at our school sports meet. My students faced a lot of challenges, from mild learning disabilities (轻度学习障碍) to cerebral palsy (脑瘫).

Mark was one of the latter. He had to get around in a wheelchair. But he always had a positive attitude (积极态度) and greeted everyone with a huge smile.

His classmates loved him, especially Mike, Andy and Lucas, three boys who were good at sports. I knew Mark wanted to be like them.

When track and field (田径运动) day came, Mike, Andy and Lucas did a good job, giving the crowd something to cheer about. Mark sat on the sidelines (边线), cheering them on.

The final event of the day was the 400-metre race. Everyone was invited to either walk or run. We watched as they took off. Mike, Andy and Lucas all wanted to prove who the better athlete was.

But when the three reached the finish line, they stopped and turned to look behind them. At the back of the crowd was Mark. He was alone on the track with over half the distance left.

Mike, Andy and Lucas looked at one another, and a silent thought passed among them. Slowly, they ran back toward their friend. They formed a circle around Mark and kept pace, cheering him on as he had done for them before.

In the end, the four crossed the finish line together to the excited shouts of their teachers and classmates. Seeing the look on Mark’s face, I came to understand what makes the Special Olympics so special. Everyone deserves (值得) their own time to shine.

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。

It’s unusual to see a person inspire (激发) a new word. But that’s what Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has got. “Stay awesome and ZHUperb!” Volleywood, a US-based blog website for volleyball fans, r【1】 created the word “ZHUperb”, which puts “Zhu” and “superb” together, to describe the 25-year-old volleyball player.

Zhu Ting is also considered to be a national h【2】in China. She helped the national volleyball team win gold medals at the 2015 FIVB World Cup, 2015 Asian Women’s Volleyball Championship, and 2016 Rio Olympic Games. In September this year she a【3】 helped the team win gold medals at the 2019 FIVB World Cup.

At a young age Zhu is captain of china women’s national volleyball team. But it hasn’t been e【4】 for Zhu to get to where she is today.

Born in a farming family in Henan Province, Zhu got a hard-won chance to a【5】 a local sports school at the age of 13. She got homesick during the first few months of training. But later she got over it, and made p【6】week on week. She quickly moved from the provincial youth team to the national youth team.

In 2013 she became famous by helping the Chinese U20 team to win the title at the 2013 FIVB U20 World Championship. Then Zhu was c【7】 into the national team and met the famous coach Lang Ping.

At the beginning because of her 1.98-meter h【8】, Zhu found it difficult to move fast and hold her weight on her feet. But Lang e【9】 her to take advantage of that; she trained her to jump high to smash the ball. After this she became an ace spiker (主攻手).

Zhu still works hard during training. “Hard work and talent (天赋) are b【10】 important I’ll move forward step by step,” she told People’s Daily.

29、   Our words can be a valuable tool to cheer up a person who is down. By saying some kind words, we can help them face their present and future with courage.

At that moment I made up my mind to be the ______ child in my class to learn the tables(乘法表). Whatever it took, and no matter how much time, I would do. No one was going to stop me. This time I ______ myself.
