As the sixth What Kids Are Reading report bemoans （ 哀 叹 ） about a tendency among secondary school students to read books that are too easy—suggesting that teachers and librarians aren’t pushing challenging titles strongly enough to older kids—the organizers of World Book Day have announced a list that might serve as a corrective, or at least a useful source of ideas.
Satellite by Nick Lake
Leo was born in space, living all his life on space station Moon 2 with fellow space-children Libra and Orion. Now, at 15,he is almost due to go to Earth for the first time, but more awaits him there. An extraordinary science fiction, as diverse as lain M Banks at his best. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

Nicholls’ exciting narrative follows May the free-thinking daughter of a Quaker, and Nell, the tough, capable mainstay of her poor family. As the ghost of war appears ever closer, what will they sacrifice and what will be taken from them An unforgettable historical novel.
The Book of Dust Vol 1:La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman
Pullman’s long-awaited return to the world of His Dark Materials is, at times, dark indeed.

B
Have you read this before 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. That is the 90/10 Principle. You really have no control over 10% of what happens to us, but you determine the other 90%.
Let’s use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You severely scold your daughter and she breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you blame your wife for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt.
Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and she misses the bus. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at the school and your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye.
After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, yet when you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your wife and daughter.
Why did you have a bad day Did the coffee cause it Did your daughter cause it
Here is what could have and should have happened.
Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, “It’s ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time”. Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.
Notice the difference Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.
4. According to the text, what happens after the coffee incident
A. The mother gets to work late. B. The couple have an argument.
C. The father has a traffic accident. D. The daughter finishes breakfast soon.
5. Why does the author use the example
A. To prove the 90/10 principle. B. To compare different attitudes.
C. To give advice on self-control. D. To show the importance of harmony.
6. What does the underlined word “wedge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Improvement. B. Wound. C. Disadvantage. D. Change.
7. According to the text, what leads to the different endings
A. Your coffee. B. Your family. C. Your experience. D. Your reaction.
C
The start-up that attracted the largest investment in the history of cybersecurity, of more than half a billion dollars, has a simple goal: a passwordless future.
Despite the spread of password management software that can generate and remember complicated strings of random characters, some of the most common passwords are still “12345”, “password” and “iloveyou”. As a result, more than 80 percent of hacks involve these kinds of passwords; and passwords remain the most sought-after data by hackers, above other personal or sensitive information.
In many cases individuals are tricked into handing over password details by phishing emails (网络钓鱼邮件) and other social engineering techniques. Hackers have sought to break into apps and steal entire password databases as well. Passwords are also under attack from new technology, such as automatic programs that can rapidly try to guess them, or can try stolen passwords on different online accounts.
Since the need to replace the easily forgotten and highly hackable strings of letters and numbers that we use to access everyday life has become even more urgent, the race to replace the password is under way, with biometric-based (基于生物识别的) security emerging as one of the most sought-after solutions. According to Tieo, a union of more than 250 companies, which promotes a standard system of passwordless authentication (身份验证), the vast majority of consumer services will offer passwordless login (登录) systems in the next couple of years. “If done correctly and safely, biometrics are really helping us move to a passwordless future in a rapid manner,” said Andrew Jenkinson, CEO of Tieo.
But there are still risks associated with the use of biometric authentication. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be changed. This means such data must be closely guarded for privacy purposes and to prevent spoofing—hackers trying to trick cameras or sensors with photos, or masks of their victim. “Biometric authentication and passwordless authentication has its own attack surface,” said Paul Smith, director of security research at CyberPek. His team revealed that it had found a design problem which would allow potential attackers to bypass facial recognition login by injecting a spoofed photo of a user’s face into the process.
The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the start-ups hoping to kill the password is how to change years of habit. Eric Brown, founder of TAK Cyber, a cyber research and advisory company, argued that while sensitive applications may rapidly shift from passwords, other websites have less motivation to update their systems. “You’ll never get rid of them,” he said. “We’re never going to get to the post-password era.”
8. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Why passwords are the most sought-after data.
B. How passwords are stolen by phishing emails.
C. How passwords have caused us trouble.
D. Why passwords are difficult to secure.
9. What can we infer from the passage
A. Facial recognition login is the key to fighting hackers.
B. Biometric authentication has its own set of problems.
C. TAK Cyber’s login system guarantees the safety of data.
D. Spoofing brings more problems than automated programs.
10. What is Eric Brown’s attitude towards a passwordless future
A. Indifferent. B. Passionate. C. Negative. D. Objective.
11. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Biometric authentication: password security solution!
B. Start-ups race to welcome a passwordless future
C. The argument to end passwords has begun
D. Killing the password: a cure or a fantasy
D
For me, a large part of growing from a girl into a woman was developing a hatred for my body. When I was a kid, I didn’t think about my body all that much. My attitudes towards my body changed around middle school when people were talking about staying“in shape”and going on diets. And thus I started to internalize the harmful standard that we have to look good all the time.
Looks are given far too much importance in our society. Women are supposed to look perfect all the time. We’re supposed to idolize (崇拜) celebrities who have far more time and money to spend on their appearance than the average person. It’s simply not attainable.
I love the idea of body positivity. I firmly believe that everyone should try to love themselves as much as possible. However, it’s almost impossible to love every part of your body all the time. Personally, I could never achieve that. It’s a good idea to promote body positivity in theory, but it also allows us to beat ourselves up because we don’t love ourselves all the time.
Body neutrality (中立) is a much more attainable goal. Body neutrality promotes the idea that your body is simply your body instead of thinking something is good or bad. This mentality is easier to achieve, and it doesn’t force you to try to love things you don’t love. We don’t need to love every part of our body —it’s just a body.
Another way to view your body is to be thankful for everything that it does for you rather than how it looks. For example, I am grateful that my body allows me to go skiing because I love skiing. This shift in mentality can be helpful because it focuses on your body’s ability to do things you love, instead of your appearance.
Ultimately, the ideal mentality is loving every part of your body all the time. However, the more realistic alternative is accepting your body for what it is and what it does for you. Love can come after, but neutrality is a good place to start.
12. Why did the author change her attitude towards appearance around middle school
A. Because she was influenced by others.
B. Because she began to dislike her body.
C. Because she thought it important to stay in shape.
D. Because she failed to meet her school’s standards.
13. What is the author’s attitude towards body positivity
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Prejudiced. D. Indifferent.
14. What does body neutrality promote
A. Pursuing perfection in terms of body image.
B. Trying to change your appearance constantly.
C. Loving every part of your body unconditionally.
D. Accepting your body as it is without judgment.
15. What is the suggested mentality towards your body
A. Ignoring its limitations.
B. Focusing on appearance.
C. Being grateful for its capabilities.
D. Being critical of its imperfections.

Have you read this before 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. That is the 90/10 Principle. You really have no control over 10% of what happens to us, but you determine the other 90%.
Let’s use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You severely scold your daughter and she breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you blame your wife for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt.
Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and she misses the bus. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at the school and your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye.
After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, yet when you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your wife and daughter.
Why did you have a bad day Did the coffee cause it Did your daughter cause it
Here is what could have and should have happened.
Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, “It’s ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time”. Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.
Notice the difference Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.
4. According to the text, what happens after the coffee incident
A. The mother gets to work late. B. The couple have an argument.
C. The father has a traffic accident. D. The daughter finishes breakfast soon.
5. Why does the author use the example
A. To prove the 90/10 principle. B. To compare different attitudes.
C. To give advice on self-control. D. To show the importance of harmony.
6. What does the underlined word “wedge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Improvement. B. Wound. C. Disadvantage. D. Change.
7. According to the text, what leads to the different endings
A. Your coffee. B. Your family. C. Your experience. D. Your reaction.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D
C
The start-up that attracted the largest investment in the history of cybersecurity, of more than half a billion dollars, has a simple goal: a passwordless future.
Despite the spread of password management software that can generate and remember complicated strings of random characters, some of the most common passwords are still “12345”, “password” and “iloveyou”. As a result, more than 80 percent of hacks involve these kinds of passwords; and passwords remain the most sought-after data by hackers, above other personal or sensitive information.
In many cases individuals are tricked into handing over password details by phishing emails (网络钓鱼邮件) and other social engineering techniques. Hackers have sought to break into apps and steal entire password databases as well. Passwords are also under attack from new technology, such as automatic programs that can rapidly try to guess them, or can try stolen passwords on different online accounts.
Since the need to replace the easily forgotten and highly hackable strings of letters and numbers that we use to access everyday life has become even more urgent, the race to replace the password is under way, with biometric-based (基于生物识别的) security emerging as one of the most sought-after solutions. According to Tieo, a union of more than 250 companies, which promotes a standard system of passwordless authentication (身份验证), the vast majority of consumer services will offer passwordless login (登录) systems in the next couple of years. “If done correctly and safely, biometrics are really helping us move to a passwordless future in a rapid manner,” said Andrew Jenkinson, CEO of Tieo.
But there are still risks associated with the use of biometric authentication. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be changed. This means such data must be closely guarded for privacy purposes and to prevent spoofing—hackers trying to trick cameras or sensors with photos, or masks of their victim. “Biometric authentication and passwordless authentication has its own attack surface,” said Paul Smith, director of security research at CyberPek. His team revealed that it had found a design problem which would allow potential attackers to bypass facial recognition login by injecting a spoofed photo of a user’s face into the process.
The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the start-ups hoping to kill the password is how to change years of habit. Eric Brown, founder of TAK Cyber, a cyber research and advisory company, argued that while sensitive applications may rapidly shift from passwords, other websites have less motivation to update their systems. “You’ll never get rid of them,” he said. “We’re never going to get to the post-password era.”
8. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Why passwords are the most sought-after data.
B. How passwords are stolen by phishing emails.
C. How passwords have caused us trouble.
D. Why passwords are difficult to secure.
9. What can we infer from the passage
A. Facial recognition login is the key to fighting hackers.
B. Biometric authentication has its own set of problems.
C. TAK Cyber’s login system guarantees the safety of data.
D. Spoofing brings more problems than automated programs.
10. What is Eric Brown’s attitude towards a passwordless future
A. Indifferent. B. Passionate. C. Negative. D. Objective.
11. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Biometric authentication: password security solution!
B. Start-ups race to welcome a passwordless future
C. The argument to end passwords has begun
D. Killing the password: a cure or a fantasy
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
D
For me, a large part of growing from a girl into a woman was developing a hatred for my body. When I was a kid, I didn’t think about my body all that much. My attitudes towards my body changed around middle school when people were talking about staying“in shape”and going on diets. And thus I started to internalize the harmful standard that we have to look good all the time.
Looks are given far too much importance in our society. Women are supposed to look perfect all the time. We’re supposed to idolize (崇拜) celebrities who have far more time and money to spend on their appearance than the average person. It’s simply not attainable.
I love the idea of body positivity. I firmly believe that everyone should try to love themselves as much as possible. However, it’s almost impossible to love every part of your body all the time. Personally, I could never achieve that. It’s a good idea to promote body positivity in theory, but it also allows us to beat ourselves up because we don’t love ourselves all the time.
Body neutrality (中立) is a much more attainable goal. Body neutrality promotes the idea that your body is simply your body instead of thinking something is good or bad. This mentality is easier to achieve, and it doesn’t force you to try to love things you don’t love. We don’t need to love every part of our body —it’s just a body.
Another way to view your body is to be thankful for everything that it does for you rather than how it looks. For example, I am grateful that my body allows me to go skiing because I love skiing. This shift in mentality can be helpful because it focuses on your body’s ability to do things you love, instead of your appearance.
Ultimately, the ideal mentality is loving every part of your body all the time. However, the more realistic alternative is accepting your body for what it is and what it does for you. Love can come after, but neutrality is a good place to start.
12. Why did the author change her attitude towards appearance around middle school
A. Because she was influenced by others.
B. Because she began to dislike her body.
C. Because she thought it important to stay in shape.
D. Because she failed to meet her school’s standards.
13. What is the author’s attitude towards body positivity
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Prejudiced. D. Indifferent.
14. What does body neutrality promote
A. Pursuing perfection in terms of body image.
B. Trying to change your appearance constantly.
C. Loving every part of your body unconditionally.
D. Accepting your body as it is without judgment.
15. What is the suggested mentality towards your body
A. Ignoring its limitations.
B. Focusing on appearance.
C. Being grateful for its capabilities.
D. Being critical of its imperfections.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C

Labor Is the Most Glorious
Last week I took part in a farm work programme in the suburbs.
At the class meeting, our teacher told us about the programme with the theme “Labor Is the Most Glorious”. And he stressed the importance of working with our own hands.
When I got home, I packed up my luggage for the trip. On the farm, we helped pick watermelons. While working, I realised how hard it was to work in the field under a hot sun.
When I came back home, I shared my experiences with my parents. And they were very proud of me.

Have you read this before 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. That is the 90/10 Principle. You really have no control over 10% of what happens to us, but you determine the other 90%.
Let’s use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You severely scold your daughter and she breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you blame your wife for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt.
Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and she misses the bus. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at the school and your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye.
After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, yet when you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your wife and daughter.
Why did you have a bad day Did the coffee cause it Did your daughter cause it
Here is what could have and should have happened.
Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, “It’s ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time”. Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

The start-up that attracted the largest investment in the history of cybersecurity, of more than half a billion dollars, has a simple goal: a passwordless future.
Despite the spread of password management software that can generate and remember complicated strings of random characters, some of the most common passwords are still “12345”, “password” and “iloveyou”. As a result, more than 80 percent of hacks involve these kinds of passwords; and passwords remain the most sought-after data by hackers, above other personal or sensitive information.
In many cases individuals are tricked into handing over password details by phishing emails (网络钓鱼邮件) and other social engineering techniques. Hackers have sought to break into apps and steal entire password databases as well. Passwords are also under attack from new technology, such as automatic programs that can rapidly try to guess them, or can try stolen passwords on different online accounts.
Since the need to replace the easily forgotten and highly hackable strings of letters and numbers that we use to access everyday life has become even more urgent, the race to replace the password is under way, with biometric-based (基于生物识别的) security emerging as one of the most sought-after solutions. According to Tieo, a union of more than 250 companies, which promotes a standard system of passwordless authentication (身份验证), the vast majority of consumer services will offer passwordless login (登录) systems in the next couple of years. “If done correctly and safely, biometrics are really helping us move to a passwordless future in a rapid manner,” said Andrew Jenkinson, CEO of Tieo.
But there are still risks associated with the use of biometric authentication. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be changed. This means such data must be closely guarded for privacy purposes and to prevent spoofing—hackers trying to trick cameras or sensors with photos, or masks of their victim. “Biometric authentication and passwordless authentication has its own attack surface,” said Paul Smith, director of security research at CyberPek. His team revealed that it had found a design problem which would allow potential attackers to bypass facial recognition login by injecting a spoofed photo of a user’s face into the process.
The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the start-ups hoping to kill the password is how to change years of habit. Eric Brown, founder of TAK Cyber, a cyber research and advisory company, argued that while sensitive applications may rapidly shift from passwords, other websites have less motivation to update their systems. “You’ll never get rid of them,” he said. “We’re never going to get to the post-password era.”

A. Why passwords are the most sought-after data.
B. How passwords are stolen by phishing emails.

D. Spoofing brings more problems than automated programs.
10. What is Eric Brown’s attitude towards a passwordless future

D
For me, a large part of growing from a girl into a woman was developing a hatred for my body. When I was a kid, I didn’t think about my body all that much. My attitudes towards my body changed around middle school when people were talking about staying“in shape”and going on diets. And thus I started to internalize the harmful standard that we have to look good all the time.
Looks are given far too much importance in our society. Women are supposed to look perfect all the time. We’re supposed to idolize (崇拜) celebrities who have far more time and money to spend on their appearance than the average person. It’s simply not attainable.
I love the idea of body positivity. I firmly believe that everyone should try to love themselves as much as possible. However, it’s almost impossible to love every part of your body all the time. Personally, I could never achieve that. It’s a good idea to promote body positivity in theory, but it also allows us to beat ourselves up because we don’t love ourselves all the time.
Body neutrality (中立) is a much more attainable goal. Body neutrality promotes the idea that your body is simply your body instead of thinking something is good or bad. This mentality is easier to achieve, and it doesn’t force you to try to love things you don’t love. We don’t need to love every part of our body —it’s just a body.
Another way to view your body is to be thankful for everything that it does for you rather than how it looks. For example, I am grateful that my body allows me to go skiing because I love skiing. This shift in mentality can be helpful because it focuses on your body’s ability to do things you love, instead of your appearance.
Ultimately, the ideal mentality is loving every part of your body all the time. However, the more realistic alternative is accepting your body for what it is and what it does for you. Love can come after, but neutrality is a good place to start.
12. Why did the author change her attitude towards appearance around middle school
A. Because she was influenced by others.
B. Because she began to dislike her body.
C. Because she thought it important to stay in shape.
D. Because she failed to meet her school’s standards.
13. What is the author’s attitude towards body positivity
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Prejudiced. D. Indifferent.
14. What does body neutrality promote
A. Pursuing perfection in terms of body image.
B. Trying to change your appearance constantly.
C. Loving every part of your body unconditionally.
D. Accepting your body as it is without judgment.
15. What is the suggested mentality towards your body
A. Ignoring its limitations.
B. Focusing on appearance.
C. Being grateful for its capabilities.
D. Being critical of its imperfections.

As the sixth What Kids Are Reading report bemoans （ 哀 叹 ） about a tendency among secondary school students to read books that are too easy—suggesting that teachers and librarians aren’t pushing challenging titles strongly enough to older kids—the organizers of World Book Day have announced a list that might serve as a corrective, or at least a useful source of ideas.

【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D
B
Have you read this before 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. That is the 90/10 Principle. You really have no control over 10% of what happens to us, but you determine the other 90%.
Let’s use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You severely scold your daughter and she breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you blame your wife for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt.
Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and she misses the bus. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at the school and your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye.
After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, yet when you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your wife and daughter.
Why did you have a bad day Did the coffee cause it Did your daughter cause it
Here is what could have and should have happened.
Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, “It’s ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time”. Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.
Notice the difference Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.
4. According to the text, what happens after the coffee incident
A. The mother gets to work late. B. The couple have an argument.
C. The father has a traffic accident. D. The daughter finishes breakfast soon.
5. Why does the author use the example
A. To prove the 90/10 principle. B. To compare different attitudes.
C. To give advice on self-control. D. To show the importance of harmony.
6. What does the underlined word “wedge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Improvement. B. Wound. C. Disadvantage. D. Change.
7. According to the text, what leads to the different endings
A. Your coffee. B. Your family. C. Your experience. D. Your reaction.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D

62. He made numerous contributions to the world, the most well-known being the general theory of relativity and the famous formula E=mc . (英译汉)
__________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】他为世界做出了许多贡献,其中最著名的是广义相对论和E=mc 公式。
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和独立主格。主语是He，谓语是过去时的动词短语made numerous contributions to，意思是“为……做出了许多贡献”为一般过去时。the most well-known being引导独立主格结构，意为“最为人知的是”。the general theory of relativity翻译为“广义相对论”，the famous formula E=mc 翻译为“著名的公式E=mc ”。故翻译为：他为世界做出了许多贡献,其中最著名的是广义相对论和E=mc 公式。
63. 城市生活、大自然、湿地的结合，使得这个公园成为了深受游客和当地居民喜欢的目的地。（动词ing形式做主语） (汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Combining city life, nature, and wetlands makes the park a popular destination both for tourists and local residents.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。表示“城市生活、大自然、湿地的结合”为combining city life, nature, and wetlands，动名词作主语；表示“使得”短语为make…+名词短语；表示“公园”用the park；表示“深受游客和当地居民喜欢的目的地”翻译为a popular destination both for tourists and local residents。陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，动名词短语作主语，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故翻译为Combining city life, nature, and wetlands makes the park a popular destination both for tourists and local residents.
64. 如果你想要的是好玩，而且不仅仅是好玩而已，那就来迪士尼乐园吧，在这里你可以实现童年的梦想！ （非限制性定语从句） (汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland, where you can make your childhood dream come true.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句和短语。If引导条件状语从句，主语为you；表示“想要”短语为want to do sth.；表示“好玩”短语为have fun；表示“不仅仅是好玩”翻译为more than fun；表示“那就来迪士尼乐园吧”为肯定祈使句come to Disneyland，后跟where引导非限制性定语从句；主语为you；表示“实现童年的梦想”为make your childhood dream come true，can后跟动词原形。为一般现在时。故翻译为If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland, where you can make your childhood dream come true.

【答案】范文
Labor Is the Most Glorious
Last week I took part in a farm work programme in the suburbs.
At the class meeting, our teacher told us about the programme with the theme “Labor Is the Most Glorious”. And he stressed the importance of working with our own hands.
When I got home, I packed up my luggage for the trip. On the farm, we helped pick watermelons. While working, I realised how hard it was to work in the field under a hot sun.
When I came back home, I shared my experiences with my parents. And they were very proud of me.
