第一节 语篇翻译 阅读下面的短文，将画线的句子译成英文或中文。
Stephen Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 in Oxford and died on March 14, 2018, at the age of 76. His children said: “We are deeply saddened that our dear father passed away today. 65. 我们一直以他为傲。
The British physicist was known for his groundbreaking (开创性的) work with black holes and relativity (相对论), and was the writer of the science books — A Brief History of Time, which became one of the world’s best-selling books. 66. He was a great scientist who spent most of his time in science study.
Besides his work in science, he also faced the difficulties in his life bravely. At the age of 21, his illness left him wheelchair-bound paralyzed (瘫痪). 67. The doctor said he only had 2 years to live. Then he was able to move only a few fingers on one hand and was completely dependent on others or on technology for everything — bathing, dressing, eating, even speech.
However, as we all know, he became one of the greatest minds in the world. “I felt it was very unfair at first. Whey should this happen to me?” he wrote in his 2013 Memoir (回忆录). “At the time, I thought my life was over. 68. But now, 50 years later, I am quite satisfied with my life.”
Hawking may no longer be with us, but his spirit “courage and persistence” will continue to inspire (激励) us for years. 69. 他的经历告诉我们掌控自己命运的重要性。
As he once said, “However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do. Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. People who are looking up at the stars become the stars.”

阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。
It’s early in the morning and the alarm clock has already rung several time. You have to pull yourself out of bed and rush to school because you’re afraid of being late for school.
As a school student, this is probably a common experience for you. But thanks to new rules, students in Zhejiang and Heilongjiang provinces can now stay in bed longer than before.
On Feb 23, the Zhejiang Department of Education announced (宣布) a new rule that asks primary schools to start school later. According to the rule, start times could be different among different grades, with students in Grade 1 and 2 starting no earlier than 8:30 am.
A similar guideline (指导方针) was announced by the education department in Heilongjiang Province on Feb 24. Students from all primary and junior high schools in the province have been required (要求) to arrive at school no earlier than 8 am.
According to a 2016 study by the Zhejiang Department of Education, half students in Grade 4 slept nine hours or more a night, while the enough sleep time for primary students in 10 hours.
“I welcome the new rule so much. It is such a wonderful rule that gives my son enough time for breakfast, which is necessary for his health and growth”, a mother named Xu Li said. She is from Hangzhou and his son is in Grade 1. These changes have received much praise as they make students get enough sleep and enough time for breakfast.
Pushing back school times isn’t unique (唯一的) to China. In the United States, schools in at least 21 states began to start school later in 2017, as studies have shown that later school start times could be good for students’ development.
1.Why do students have to rush to school in the morning?
2.When should primary students in Heilongjiang province get to school new?
3.How many hours of sleep do primary students need every night?
4.What does Mrs. Xu think of the new rule?

From the Other Side
Lara and Tara are twins. They look like each other, but they are very different in everything else. For example, hot food is Lara’s favorite, and Tara has a sweet choice.
However, this isn’t the problem with the twin girls. They always argues that the opposite one was wrong. 1., while Tara thought mornings were fresh and it was difficult to stay up till midnight.
2. To put an end to their fights, their parents decided to create a small drama. They wanted the girls to understand that they were both correct from their own point of view. Their parents covered the girl’s eyes with black ribbons (带、条), and brought them to the dining room. 3. Lara was asked to stand on one side of the board and Tara on the other. They couldn’t see the other side of it. When the ribbons were taken away, they were surprised to see a huge board between them.
Now, their father asked Lara, “What’s the color of the board?” She replied, “It’s black!” 4. She relied, “It’s white!” The two girls began to argue again. While Lara was confident it was black, Tara was sure it was white. Then, they were asked to exchange (交换) their places. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Tara, who insisted (坚持) it was a white board, saw a black one. Similarly, Lara, who argued the board was black, was surprised to see a white one. They understood that each of them was right in her own view. Most of us are like Lara and Tara. We are right most times, but insist that others are wrong!
A. They have different ideas.
B. For years, their arguments continued.
C. Their mother asked Tara the same question.
D. In the room, a big board was placed in the middle.
E. Lara thought it was terrible to get up early in the morning.
Few parents can hear the words “What can I do to help?” from their kids. Teenagers spend more time on video games, computers and mobile phones, so they help less with housework.
Students at a primary school in Fuzhou, East China’s Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits. But some parents are strongly against the idea. They can’t see the advantages of students doing such chores. They think that the school should provide students with a proper education, not the chance to be school cleaners.
In fact, parents, schools and society play an equally (同等地) important role in developing the character of students. It is good for schools to give students such tasks, because few of the students will do them at home. Their parents want them to do homework only.
In recent years, some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools. Some will complain the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some will even challenge the schools’ teaching methods and management. As a result, many primary schools, especially those in big cities, do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks, fearing that they might get hurt. This is bad for the development of students’ best qualities.
What the primary school in Fuzhou doing is worth praising. Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility (责任感) into students’ minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork. Also, it can make students’ in-school experiences more meaningful.
