The Boy Made It!
One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.
Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.
When Gxrylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

(WAIKING WATER EXPERIMENT)
Walking Water Science Experiment for Kids
Let's get set up for walking water with a few quick and easy steps the kids can definitely be a part of! We used test tubes for three sets of primary colors. You can use less as long as you have enough to go around with all the colors mixing. First, add red, yellow, and blue food coloring (one color per test tube) in order. Give each test tube a little stir (搅拌)to evenly distribute the color. Try to put the same amount of food coloring in each container. Cut thin strips of white paper towel to fit in the test tubes. Place them into the test tubes. There will be two ends in each tube. Wait and watch what happens. At this point, you can set up a stopwatch to make notes of how long it takes for the colors to meet and mix.
Before you insert the strips, you have the perfect opportunity to make some predictions about what will happen. Have your kids come up with a prediction for their experiment Will the water walk You can start the conversation with "What do you think will happen when we put the towels into the water "
The whole process starts pretty quickly, but it does take a while for the colors to begin to mix with each other. Extend the science activity: pull out the watercolors and do some color mixing art while you wait. Make sure to check on your walking water science experiment every once in a while to see the changes that are constantly taking place. The kids will be amazed at how the water seems to fight against gravity! As the paper towels absorb the colored water, the water travels up the towel strip. It meets up with the other colored water that has traveled up the neighboring strip. Where the primary colors interact, they turn into the secondary colors. Both colors will continue to travel as long as the towel fibers absorb the water.
The experiment is colorful and simple to do! Plus, it is interesting for multiple ages. Older kids should be able to set it up all by themselves and can also use our science journal page to record their results.
15. What materials are needed for the experiment
A. Test tubes, food coloring and paper towel.
B. Drinking water, test tubes and a notebook.
C. Food coloring, water cups and a paper cutter.
D. Mixed colors, towel strips and food containers.
16. In the experiment, you're expected to ________.
A. add three colors into each container
B. set up a stopwatch from the beginning
C. put colorful towel strips in the test tubes
D. stir each test tube to make the color even
17. Water in the test tubes can walk because ________.
A. food coloring has the power to take in water
B. towel fibers absorb water and allow it to travel
C. water flows naturally under the influence of gravity
D. colors interact with each other and thus travel easily
C
Life in the Clear
Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet---as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”
And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through It s trickier than you might think.
The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter (散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.
But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it you see the things behind it.
To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments (色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.
Animals are built of many different materials---skin, fat, and more---and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see-through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-like (果冻状的) material and spread themselves over it.
Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear: for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.
18. According to Paragraph 1,transparent animals .
A. stay in groups B. can be easily damaged
C. appear only in deep ocean D. are beautiful creatures
19. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means .
A. silently B. gradually
C. regularly D. completely
20. One way for an animal to become transparent is to .
A. change the direction of light travel B. gather materials to scatter light
C. avoid the absorption of light D. grow bigger to stop light
21. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals .
A. move more slowly in deep water
B. stay see-through even after death
C. produce more tissues for their survival
D. take effective action to reduce light spreading
D
For today’s increasingly interconnected food supply chains, “efficient” is what it’s supposed to be: Each country specializes in what it’s best, at and puts it on the global market. Producers and processors within countries specialize, too, as a way to minimize costs. As a result, at least in theory, prices stay low, the world gets fed and everyone wins.
However, the coronavirus crisis demonstrates what is wrong with this approach. When barriers prevent food from reaching its markets, or demand suddenly drops — both of which are happening now — the system falls apart.
Specialization of the food system makes it hard to shift into different markets when disruptions arise. Belgium, a leading exporter of potatoes, lost sales not only to local restaurants but also to other countries because of lockdowns(封锁). At least the Belgians can try to eat the potatoes at home. That strategy won't work for every crop: Ghana, the world’s top cocoa exporter, lost markets when people stalled focusing on buying essential items instead of chocolate.
The loss in export income in Africa more generally could have a huge impact if the pandemic continues, as many countries there rely heavily on imported wheat and rice. The prices of these grains have soared not only because of rising demand for these grains during the crisis, but also because a few countries — including Russia and Vietnam — imposed export restrictions out of fear that sending food abroad would lead to higher prices at home.
Concentrated markets dominated by just a handful of companies heighten food system fragility. For example, just three meatpacking plants process over 95 percent of Canada’s beef and nearly all of its beef exports. Now, those meat processing plants have had to temporarily shut down because of outbreaks of COVID-19 among workers.
Seeing the spoiled products across the world should force all of us to rethink our “efficient” food supplies. We need to rejuvenate(使恢复活力)local and regional food systems to reduce the vulnerabilities that come with being too reliant on imported and corporate-dominated foods. This doesn’t mean cutting off all trade or abolishing all packaged foods, but it does mean building diversity, and increasing opportunities for small and medium-scale enterprises to flourish in shorter, more sustainable food supply chains that are closer to home.
One place to start is for governments to shift their support from the large-scale, specialized and export-oriented food system to building infrastructure for more diverse local food systems. Around the world, small-scale and organic producers have been overwhelmed with the surge in interest from customers who want to buy directly from farmers during the crisis. But these producers often lack the infrastructure to meet that demand. As governments around the world pass stimulus packages to address the crisis, building more diverse and localized food systems should be an obvious inclusion.
22. In theory, specialization of the food system ________.
A. adapts to changes efficiently B. balances supply and demand
C focuses on essential items D. reduces costs of production
23. The underlined word “fragility” in Paragraph 5 means ________.
A. weakness B. diversity
C. unfairness D. complexity
24. What can we learn from the passage
A. A few countries restrict exports to stabilize local food prices.
B. Grain prices rise due to Africa’s dependence on importation.
C. Ghana might be less affected by lockdowns than Belgium was.
D. Packaged-food consumption should be encouraged to address the crisis.
25. The main purpose of this passage is to ________.
A expose food security issues during the crisis
B. advocate establishing diverse local food systems
C. discuss the development of a sustainable economy
D. prove the importance of sound government policies

What Are the Roots of Your Self-Esteem
Self-esteem is a person's subjective assessment of his or her worth to himself or herself. Self- esteem covers various beliefs about oneself (such as 'Tm a failure" and "I'm beautiful") as well as physiological states, including sadness, joy, and shame. The more we believe that we are worthy of happiness and good things in life, the more self-fulfilled we will be. When we don't believe that we are worthy of these things, our ability to enjoy them can suffer. ____26____
Healthy self-esteem as an adult can be a gift given in your childhood. It is a blessing that most people overlook. There are so many ways adults with high self-esteem were supported as children that resulted in them having high self-esteem. For instance, they were praised for what they had achieved.
____27____They likely experienced affection and were given enough attention. It is also possible that they excelled in studies or in sports and were admired for it by peers.
____28____As children, many of these people were criticized, yelled at, or abused in one way or another. There is also a high chance that they were given no attention by the adults who were supposed to care for them. In some cases, adults with poor self-esteem were often ridiculed for their shortcomings or bullied by peers.
It is common that these adults also believe that in order to be appreciated they need to be perfect.
____29____There are people who are obsessed with their careers or hobbies because in their mind they need to tie their worthiness to something concrete. Oftentimes these people have to pretend to be something they are not just to get approval.
How you feel about yourself impacts how you live your life. People with high self-esteem tend to have better relationships than those with low self-esteem. ____30____ So if you struggle to reach out for assistance, it could be rooted in your low self-esteem.
A. There is also a good chance that they were spoken to respectfully.
B. When we start to doubt what's important in life, we tend to do less of it.
C. Since self-esteem is connected to how we perform, it is important to work on it.
D. People with poor self-esteem, on the other hand, often experienced the opposite.
E. This creates an image in their mind that without accomplishment they are worthless.
F. They face failure too, but they understand that failure or success doesn't define them.
G. High self-esteem enables you to ask for help and support from the people around you when you need it.

The Boy Made It!
One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.
Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.

(WAIKING WATER EXPERIMENT)
Walking Water Science Experiment for Kids
Let's get set up for walking water with a few quick and easy steps the kids can definitely be a part of! We used test tubes for three sets of primary colors. You can use less as long as you have enough to go around with all the colors mixing. First, add red, yellow, and blue food coloring (one color per test tube) in order. Give each test tube a little stir (搅拌)to evenly distribute the color. Try to put the same amount of food coloring in each container. Cut thin strips of white paper towel to fit in the test tubes. Place them into the test tubes. There will be two ends in each tube. Wait and watch what happens. At this point, you can set up a stopwatch to make notes of how long it takes for the colors to meet and mix.
Before you insert the strips, you have the perfect opportunity to make some predictions about what will happen. Have your kids come up with a prediction for their experiment Will the water walk You can start the conversation with "What do you think will happen when we put the towels into the water "
The whole process starts pretty quickly, but it does take a while for the colors to begin to mix with each other. Extend the science activity: pull out the watercolors and do some color mixing art while you wait. Make sure to check on your walking water science experiment every once in a while to see the changes that are constantly taking place. The kids will be amazed at how the water seems to fight against gravity! As the paper towels absorb the colored water, the water travels up the towel strip. It meets up with the other colored water that has traveled up the neighboring strip. Where the primary colors interact, they turn into the secondary colors. Both colors will continue to travel as long as the towel fibers absorb the water.
The experiment is colorful and simple to do! Plus, it is interesting for multiple ages. Older kids should be able to set it up all by themselves and can also use our science journal page to record their results.
15 What materials are needed for the experiment
A. Test tubes, food coloring and paper towel.
B. Drinking water, test tubes and a notebook.
C. Food coloring, water cups and a paper cutter.
D. Mixed colors, towel strips and food containers.
16. In the experiment, you're expected to ________.
A. add three colors into each container
B. set up a stopwatch from the beginning
C. put colorful towel strips in the test tubes
D. stir each test tube to make the color even
17. Water in the test tubes can walk because ________.
A. food coloring has the power to take in water
B. towel fibers absorb water and allow it to travel
C. water flows naturally under the influence of gravity
D. colors interact with each other and thus travel easily

Life in the Clear
Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet---as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”
And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through It s trickier than you might think.
The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter (散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.
But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it you see the things behind it.
To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments (色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.
Animals are built of many different materials---skin, fat, and more---and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see-through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-like (果冻状的) material and spread themselves over it.
Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear: for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.
18. According to Paragraph 1,transparent animals .
A. stay in groups B. can be easily damaged
C. appear only in deep ocean D. are beautiful creatures
19. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means .
A. silently B. gradually
C. regularly D. completely
20. One way for an animal to become transparent is to .
A. change the direction of light travel B. gather materials to scatter light
C. avoid the absorption of light D. grow bigger to stop light
21. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals .
A. move more slowly in deep water
B. stay see-through even after death
C. produce more tissues for their survival
D. take effective action to reduce light spreading
【答案】18. B 19. D 20. C 21. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章解释了生活在海洋的透明生物的特点,透明原理,以及形成机制。

【19题详解】
词义猜测题。该词出现在文章第三段第三行。前文提到了:你能看到的物体一种是对光线进行了散射;而另外一种是对光线的吸收。既然吸收了,那在光的传播过程中就完全阻止了,因此这里dead是完全的意思。故选D。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第一句“To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.”可知,想变透明就要避免散射或吸收光线,因此其中的一个方法是C选项,避免光线的吸收。故选C。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的“Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. ”可知,体型较大的透明动物面临的挑战最大,因为它们必须让体内所有不同的组织减缓光线的速度,就像减缓水的速度一样。由此判断出,他在最后一段告诉我们,更大的透明动物会采取有效的行动来减少光的扩散。故选D。
D
For today’s increasingly interconnected food supply chains, “efficient” is what it’s supposed to be: Each country specializes in what it’s best, at and puts it on the global market. Producers and processors within countries specialize, too, as a way to minimize costs. As a result, at least in theory, prices stay low, the world gets fed and everyone wins.
However, the coronavirus crisis demonstrates what is wrong with this approach. When barriers prevent food from reaching its markets, or demand suddenly drops — both of which are happening now — the system falls apart.
Specialization of the food system makes it hard to shift into different markets when disruptions arise. Belgium, a leading exporter of potatoes, lost sales not only to local restaurants but also to other countries because of lockdowns(封锁). At least the Belgians can try to eat the potatoes at home. That strategy won't work for every crop: Ghana, the world’s top cocoa exporter, lost markets when people stalled focusing on buying essential items instead of chocolate.
The loss in export income in Africa more generally could have a huge impact if the pandemic continues, as many countries there rely heavily on imported wheat and rice. The prices of these grains have soared not only because of rising demand for these grains during the crisis, but also because a few countries — including Russia and Vietnam — imposed export restrictions out of fear that sending food abroad would lead to higher prices at home.
Concentrated markets dominated by just a handful of companies heighten food system fragility. For example, just three meatpacking plants process over 95 percent of Canada’s beef and nearly all of its beef exports. Now, those meat processing plants have had to temporarily shut down because of outbreaks of COVID-19 among workers.
Seeing the spoiled products across the world should force all of us to rethink our “efficient” food supplies. We need to rejuvenate(使恢复活力)local and regional food systems to reduce the vulnerabilities that come with being too reliant on imported and corporate-dominated foods. This doesn’t mean cutting off all trade or abolishing all packaged foods, but it does mean building diversity, and increasing opportunities for small and medium-scale enterprises to flourish in shorter, more sustainable food supply chains that are closer to home.
One place to start is for governments to shift their support from the large-scale, specialized and export-oriented food system to building infrastructure for more diverse local food systems. Around the world, small-scale and organic producers have been overwhelmed with the surge in interest from customers who want to buy directly from farmers during the crisis. But these producers often lack the infrastructure to meet that demand. As governments around the world pass stimulus packages to address the crisis, building more diverse and localized food systems should be an obvious inclusion.
22. In theory, specialization of the food system ________.
A. adapts to changes efficiently B. balances supply and demand
C. focuses on essential items D. reduces costs of production
23. The underlined word “fragility” in Paragraph 5 means ________.
A. weakness B. diversity
C. unfairness D. complexity
24. What can we learn from the passage
A. A few countries restrict exports to stabilize local food prices.
B. Grain prices rise due to Africa’s dependence on importation.
C. Ghana might be less affected by lockdowns than Belgium was.
D. Packaged-food consumption should be encouraged to address the crisis.
25. The main purpose of this passage is to ________.
A. expose food security issues during the crisis
B. advocate establishing diverse local food systems
C. discuss the development of a sustainable economy
D. prove the importance of sound government policies
【答案】22. D 23. A 24. A 25. B

【23题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段第二句“For example, just three meatpacking plants process over 95 percent of Canada’s beef and nearly all of its beef exports. ”(例如,仅三家肉类加工厂就加工了加拿大95%以上的牛肉和几乎所有的牛肉出口。),第三句“Now, those meat processing plants have had to temporarily shut down because of outbreaks of COVID-19 among workers.”(现在,由于工人中爆发了COVID-19病毒,这些肉类加工厂不得不暂时关闭。)和第六段第二句“We need to rejuvenate(使恢复活力)local and regional food systems to reduce the vulnerabilities that come with being too reliant on imported and corporate-dominated foods.”(我们需要振兴地方和区域食品体系,以减少过于依赖进口和企业主导的食品带来的脆弱性。)可知,此处是指由少数几家公司主导的集中市场加剧了食品体系的脆弱性。所以fragility意为“脆弱”。故选A项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“The prices of these grains have soared not only because of rising demand for these grains during the crisis, but also because a few countries — including Russia and Vietnam — imposed export restrictions out of fear that sending food abroad would lead to higher prices at home.”(这些粮食的价格飙升,不仅是因为危机期间对这些粮食的需求不断上升,还因为包括俄罗斯和越南在内的一些国家,由于担心把粮食出口到国外会导致国内价格上涨,实施了出口限制。)可知,少数国家限制粮食出口以稳定当地食品价格。故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“One place to start is for governments to shift their support from the large-scale, specialized and export-oriented food system to building infrastructure for more diverse local food systems.”(首先,政府将其支持从大规模、专门化和出口导向的粮食系统转向为更多样化的地方粮食系统建设基础设施。)和最后一句“As governments around the world pass stimulus packages to address the crisis, building more diverse and localized food systems should be an obvious inclusion.”(随着世界各国政府通过刺激方案来应对危机,建立更加多样化和地方化的食品体系显然应该包括在内。)可知,文章的主要目的是倡导建立多样化的地方食品体系。故选B项。

What Are the Roots of Your Self-Esteem
Self-esteem is a person's subjective assessment of his or her worth to himself or herself. Self- esteem covers various beliefs about oneself (such as 'Tm a failure" and "I'm beautiful") as well as physiological states, including sadness, joy, and shame. The more we believe that we are worthy of happiness and good things in life, the more self-fulfilled we will be. When we don't believe that we are worthy of these things, our ability to enjoy them can suffer. ____26____
Healthy self-esteem as an adult can be a gift given in your childhood. It is a blessing that most people overlook. There are so many ways adults with high self-esteem were supported as children that resulted in them having high self-esteem. For instance, they were praised for what they had achieved.
____27____They likely experienced affection and were given enough attention. It is also possible that they excelled in studies or in sports and were admired for it by peers.
____28____As children, many of these people were criticized, yelled at, or abused in one way or another. There is also a high chance that they were given no attention by the adults who were supposed to care for them. In some cases, adults with poor self-esteem were often ridiculed for their shortcomings or bullied by peers.
It is common that these adults also believe that in order to be appreciated they need to be perfect.
____29____There are people who are obsessed with their careers or hobbies because in their mind they need to tie their worthiness to something concrete. Oftentimes these people have to pretend to be something they are not just to get approval.
How you feel about yourself impacts how you live your life. People with high self-esteem tend to have better relationships than those with low self-esteem. ____30____ So if you struggle to reach out for assistance, it could be rooted in your low self-esteem.
A. There is also a good chance that they were spoken to respectfully.
B. When we start to doubt what's important in life, we tend to do less of it.
C. Since self-esteem is connected to how we perform, it is important to work on it.
D. People with poor self-esteem, on the other hand, often experienced the opposite.
E. This creates an image in their mind that without accomplishment they are worthless.
F. They face failure too, but they understand that failure or success doesn't define them.
G. High self-esteem enables you to ask for help and support from the people around you when you need it.

51. 当他们早晨醒来时,惊讶地发现帐篷被偷了。(astonished)(汉译英)
【答案】When they woke up in the morning, they were astonished to find that their tent had been stolen.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句、宾语从句、形容词和不定式。根据句意。该句描述的为过去的事情,所以该句使用一般过去时,表示“当他们早晨醒来时”应为when引导的时间状语从句,位于句首时,首字母需大写,表示“醒来”应为wake up,用于一般过去时应为woke up,表示“早晨”应为in the morning,所以从句应译为When they woke up in the morning;表示“惊讶地发现”应为be astonished to find,其中to find应为不定式作原因状语,该句的主语与从句的主语一致,应为they,谓语动词be应使用were,表示“帐篷被偷了”应为宾语从句作find的宾语,表示“帐篷”应为their tent作宾语从句的主语,表示“偷”应为steal,与句子主语their tent之间为被动关系,且该动作发生在过去的过去,所以宾语从句应使用过去完成时的被动语态had been stolen,且宾语从句中不缺主语和宾语,句意完整,所以使用that引导的宾语从句,所以宾语从句译为that their tent had been stolen。故翻译为When they woke up in the morning, they were astonished to find that their tent had been stolen。
52. Mr. Atkinson完全依靠身体语言来体现他的幽默,这让他成为世界知名的喜剧演员。(rely on; 定语从句)(汉译英)
【答案】Mr. Atkinson completely relys on body language to convey his humor, which has made him a world-renowned comedian.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态,动词短语和定语从句。“Mr. Atkinson完全依靠身体语言来体现他的幽默”为主句,“这让他成为世界知名的喜剧演员。”为定语从句,先行词代指前面整个句子,应用which引导非限制性定语从句,“依靠”为动词短语rely on,“完全”为副词completely作状语,修饰动词短语,“来体现他的幽默”表示目的,应用不定式作目的状语,“体现”为动词convey,“他的幽默”为his humor,定语从句用现在完成时,“使某人成为”为make sb.+宾补,“世界知名的”为形容词world-renowned,“喜剧演员”为名词comedian,作宾语补足语,故整句翻译为Mr. Atkinson completely relys on body language to convey his humor, which has made him a world-renowned comedian.
53. 当老师进来的时候,学生们正在讨论如何分类垃圾。(sort)(汉译英)
【答案】The students were discussing how to sort rubbish when the teacher came in.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句和动词。根据句意,该句描述的是过去的事情,表示“当老师进来的时候”应使用一般过去时,所以表示“进来”应为came in,结合句意,该句应为时间状语从句,使用when引导,故从句译为when the teacher came in;表示“学生们”应为the students作主语,位于句首,the的首字母需大写,表示“讨论”应为discuss,结合句意可知,此处描述的过去的某时间动作正在进行,所以使用过去进行时,表示“如何分类垃圾”应为how to sort rubbish,所以主句应译为The students were discussing how to sort rubbish。故翻译为The students were discussing how to sort rubbish when the teacher came in。
54. 乘坐公共交通和使用共享自行车是减少交通堵塞好方法。(-ing 作主语) (汉译英)
【答案】Taking public transportation and using shared bikes are good ways to reduce traffic jams.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和动词时态。表示“乘坐公共交通”应用take public transportation;表示“和”应用and;表示“使用共享自行车”应用use shared bikes,take public transportation和use shared bikes为主语,使用动名词形式;表示“是”应用be,此处陈述客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语为并列的动名词短语,be动词用are;表示“好方法”应用good ways;表示“减少交通堵塞”应用reduce traffic jams,修饰名词ways,需用动词不定式作后置定语。故翻译成:Taking public transportation and using shared bikes are good ways to reduce traffic jams.。
55. 我奶奶去购物时,经常使用可重复使用的袋子而不用塑料袋。(plastic) (汉译英)
【答案】My grandmother often uses reusable bags instead of plastic ones when she goes shopping.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句、动词、名词和形容词。根据句意,表示“我的奶奶”应为my grandmother作主语,my位于句首时,首字母需大写,表示“经常”应为often,由此可知,该句使用一般现在时,表示“使用”应为use作谓语,与主语之间为主动关系,且句子主语为第三人称单数,所以谓语使用uses,表示“可重复使用的袋子”应为reusable bags,表示“而不使用塑料袋”应为instead of plastic ones,其中ones指代上文中的bags,为泛指意义,所以主句应译为My grandmother often uses reusable bags instead of plastic ones;表示“我奶奶去购物时”应为时间状语从句,引导词为when,主语与主句主语一致,所以使用she指代,表示“去购物”应为go shopping,根据主句中的谓语动词uses可知,此处使用一般现在时,与主语之间为主动关系,且主语为第三人称单数,所以从句应译为when she goes shopping。故翻译为My grandmother often uses reusable bags instead of plastic ones when she goes shopping。

【答案】Dear Peter,
How are things going
I’m so excited to hear that you are coming to Beijing this winter vacation. I just can’t wait to see you.
Regarding your two choices of how to spend the day, I’d like to recommend the second, a one day tour of the Forbidden City and the Tian’anmen Square. As the largest museum of culture and art in China, and the centre of the Beijing city, the two scenic spots have been regarded as must-see attractions, especially for those who will visit Beijing for only one day. Don’t worry about the tour guide. I can accompany you throughout the day. We’re sure to have a good time.
I hope my suggestion will be of some help to you. If you have any other questions, just write to me.
Yours,
Li Hua
