1、阅读下面的短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
Lionel Messi is a goal machine and is often considered one of the best football players in the world. 1. There’re so many things to be learned from his successful story.
Messi was born in Argentina and comes from a poor family. Messi grew up very with his grandmother, so when she passed away, 2. he was in deep pain and decided to make his grandmother proud of him. At five, he started playing football for a local club and dreamed of becoming a professional football player. But that dream started to fall apart when he was told he got a growth disease. 3. This meant that he couldn’t grow very tall unless he received a treatment that cost $1,600 per month. His parents couldn’t afford it. But even though Messi was the shortest player in his team, his talent was so outstanding and soon he was noticed by the coach(教练) of Football Club Barcelona. The coach was amazed by Messi’s abilities and talent. 4. 他知道他天生就该踢足球 and soon offered Messi a contract(合同) that would change his life forever.
There is no doubt Messi is successful. He even has his own word which was added to the Spanish dictionary. The word is “inmessionante”, which means the greatest player of all time. 5. 但他的成功并非偶然 or from just luck. He worked really, really hard and had to give up many things to become who he is today. “I start early and stay late day after day, year after year. It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success”, Messi once said. So give everything you’ve got and start working on your dreams.

24、A live-streaming App that monitors (监控) students in classrooms in some middle schools has raised a lot of online discussion. It was reported that anyone who uses the App DingTalk could see inside classrooms. Some parents have praised the App for giving them the chance to monitor their children, while others are worried about privacy (隐私) problems. The newspaper Shanghai Star did a survey. Here are some replies they received.
Zhang Xiaoru, 16 I strongly support this App. Nowadays, children play an important role in the whole family, and parents always want to care for their children, wherever they are. This new platform helps parents see what their children are doing in classes. It’s also a good way to make students behave themselves in school. |
Du Yina, 15 I’m in favor of this app if parents get their children’s permission (准许) first. The App could help parents know children’s bad habits. It could also be used as a tool to prevent being hurt. However, parents should get their permission first to protect their privacy. |
Zhao Xuehan, 16 I think this App is a bad idea. Schools should be a pleasant and relaxing place for students to study and play. But we will feel uncomfortable if cameras are watching us all the time. We should pay attention to our privacy. Our lives shouldn’t be watched by the public. |
Zhang Liliang, 15 Any form of privacy invasion (侵犯) shouldn’t be allowed. Although some parents want to know more about their children, they should do it in a better way. Being under the eye of strangers is too dangerous. |
【1】The live-streaming App can ________.
A.play videos students like in class
B.monitor students in classroom
C.let students join online discussions
D.monitor what App teachers use
【2】Which of the following is Zhang Xiaoru’s opinion?
A.The App can make students behave themselves in school.
B.The App is able to protect students’ privacy in a right way.
C.Parents can use the App anytime they like without permission.
D.Parents can change their children’s bad habits through the App.
【3】According to what Zhang Liliang said, what can his mother do?
A.Check his e-mails secretly.
B.Read his diaries in a secret way.
C.Check his schoolbag freely.
D.Enter his room with his permission.
【4】The Newspaper Shanghai Star did a survey most probably to ________.
A.ask readers if they agree with the App
B.encourage more people to use the App
C.encourage even more readers to read it
D.learn about people’s opinions on the App

26、 Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction ( 破 坏 ) of our environment. Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals…. these problems seem so huge.
So my family does what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don't have to drive…
But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?
I recently learned something about flamingos(火烈鸟) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year, when the time comes for migration(迁徙), a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice. So the small group returns. However, the next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but, since thousands of the others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.
Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before. then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular sight it must be — thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once !
A few can make a difference. Even if you're the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.

27、 My name is Yusra. I used to be just like you. I had many friends. I went to school and I loved to go to the pool in my hometown in Syria. My coach said if I worked hard enough, I could make it into the Olympics one day. Then the war took place and everything changed. I couldn’t swim or meet with my friends as often as I wanted. My life was in danger. I had to get away from Syria.
My parents finally agreed that my big sister Sara and I could travel to Turkey. It was hard to leave my family behind but I had no choice. If we got to Europe, my parents and little sister would follow.
In Turkey, we got on a boat to Greece. Then an accident happened. My sister and I jumped into the water, trying to pull the boat to shore. For over three and a half hours we did our best.

Borders(边界) were closing across Europe. We didn't know where to go or what to do.
We finally arrived in our new home, Germany. I was safe. I wanted everything to be normal again. I wanted to swim. So I started practicing again. My coach helped me realize my dream to swim at the Olympics. Maybe I couldn’t win a gold medal, but I won something far more important—my dignity(尊严). My name is Yusra. I am a refugee who found the courage to rebuild my life with support from my new community. I am proud to stand for safety and dignity for all people getting away from violence(暴力).
