【原文】信息技术(Information Technology)，正在飞速的发展，中国公民也越来越重视信息技术，有些学校甚至将信息技术作为必修课程，对这一现象大家持不同观点。一部分人认为这是没有必要的，学生就应该学习传统的课程。另一部分人认为这是应该的，中国就应该与时俱进。不管怎样，信息技术引起广大人民的重视是一件好事。

While other people think that it should be so, and they hold the attitude that China should keep pace with the times. Anyway, it is a good thing that Information Technology has drawn people’s attention.

1.Everyone has his inherent ability ,________________ (只是很容易被习惯所掩盖).
2.The importance of traffic safety , _________________ (无论如何强调都不为过).
3.In my opinion , ______________ (打电动玩具既浪费时间也有害健康).
4.There is no doubt that ______________ (近视是一个很严重的问题)among the youth of our country.
5.According to my personal experience , ___________________ (微笑已带给我许多好处).
答案与解析：
1. which is easily concealed by habits
去英国留学要多少钱每个人都有与生俱来的能力，只是很容易被习惯所掩盖。本题的难点在于对动词"掩盖"的选择。这里
的"掩盖"是抽象含义，并不是像cover那样能找到真实的掩盖物，所以应该选择conceal，常用搭配由：from。另外，这句话是一个非限制性定语从句。句子需填补内容是对 ability的补充说明，"能力"是中心词。因此，要用which引导这个非限制性定语从句。
2. can't be overemphasized / can't be emphasized too muc
h
本句考查的是"再......也不为过的"的说法。英语句型是：cannot + do sth. + too much 或cannot over-do，如：He is so excellent that we cannot prai him toomuch.(他是这样的优秀，我们怎样称赞他都不过分。)cannot是否定，与too much 和 over-V.结构连用时强调肯定，表示"怎么......也不为过"。

伊顿幼儿园句子需填补部分的主语是"打电动玩具"，虽然"打"是动词，但根据全句结构我们需要将play处理成动名词形式充当主语。此外，考察"不仅......还"的句型。"浪费时间"除了答案表达之外也可以用waste time 。
4. near-sightedness is a rious problem
There is no doubt that后接从句，从句里应有完整的主谓宾结构。如：There is no doubtthat the thief jumped into the room from the balcony in the condfloor.(毫无疑问，小偷是从二楼的阳台跳进来的。) "近视"还可以说成myopia 或 short sight 。
5. smile has done me a lot of good
本题考察"带给某人很多好处"的表达。我们知道"对某人有好处"可以说成do good to sb. 或d，依此类推，"给我带来很多好处"就是：do a lot of good to me或do me a lot of good 。monie
(1). The target is wrong, for in attacking the tests, critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill － informed or incompetent urs.1．把标准化测试作为抨击目标是错误的，因为在抨击这类测试时，批评者没有注意到其弊病来自测试使用者对测试不甚了解或使用不当。(2). How well the predictions will be validated by later performance depends upon the amount, reliability, and appropriateness of the information ud and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted. 2．这些预测在多大程度上为后来的表现所证实，这取决于所采用信息的数量、可靠性和适宜性，以及解释这些信息的技能和才智。
(3). Whether to u tests, other kinds of information, or both in a particular situation depends, therefore, upon the evidence from experience concerning comparative validity and upon such factors
as cost and availability.3．因此，在某一特定情况下，究竟是采用测试还是其他种类的信息，或是两者兼用，须凭有关相对效度的经验依据而定，也取决于诸如费用和有关来源等因素。
(4). In general, the tests work most effectively when the qualities to be measured can be most precily defined and least effectively when what is to be measured or predicted can not be well defined.4．一般来说，当所要测定地特征能很精确界定时，测试最为有效；而当所要测定或预测的东西不能明确地界定时，测试的效果最差。(5). For example, they do not compensate for gross social inequality, and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more fa
vorable circumstances.
5．例如，测试并不能弥补明显的社会不公，因此不能说明一个物质条件差的年轻人，如果在较好的环境中成长的话，会有多大才干。如果说我确实有所成就的话，那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试就会成功。
The only reason I’ve managed to accomplish anything isbecau I am a firm believer in continuous improvement.
翻译这个句子的时候，用了句式the only becau，大家看到汉语“如果说......”可能会一下头脑晕掉，不知道怎么来翻译，但换一个方式，不用if等其它表示如果的单词或词组，也不失为一种迂回翻译的好方法哦。自主招生面试技巧
注意：
我坚信： I am a firm believer （汉语的动词翻译成英文成了“形容词+名词”的形式，亲，你翻译的时候会不会这么做呢？）
遇到挫折时，你可以暂时把问题放一放，一味纠结不仅无济于事，有时反倒使情况更糟。
If you fail insomething, distance from the event for a day or two, becau agonizing over theproblem will not make it go away (and will make it a lot wor).
遇到挫折：fail insomething
暂时：for a day or two（for a day or two有时并不仅仅指一两天，还可以表示暂时哦）吊死问疾

这样做后，别忘了多加反省：“为什么这个方法会奏效？下次能不能做得更好呢？”
After you have done that, ask yourlf: “Why did this work out and how can Ido better next time?”
奏效：work out
看你定的是什么目标，这种方法可以被反复有效应用。如果你坚定不移地持续提升自己，最后成功肯定非你莫属。孜孜不倦向来无敌。
This process very well could repeat itlf veral times depending on the nature of your goal, but if you keep making a firm commitment to continuously improve yourlf, you will develop so much that the only option left is success. Consistent hustle always wins.
最后这句翻译，用but把汉语的两个句子衔接起来，不失为一种极好的衔接方式。而且大家注意下我已经标红的very well could repeat，本来可以是could repeat very well，但very well放到前面更地道，大家平时可以多看一些翻译

The picture shows us a dialogue between a father and a son. The son told his father, “Dad, I’m a bit worried about disposing of nuclear waste”. While his father told him, “If you can empty the dustbin here you can do anything”. It reveals the importance of doing small things well before undertaking something big. There is also an old Chine saying to go with this that a person can’t sweep the world before he can sweep his own room.
I agree on the point that it is of great importance for a person to do small things well before undertaking something big. First of all, doing small things well entail the qualities that needed in doing great things such as patience and ability of controlling time. For example, when we sweep our
room, we need to manage our time and energy reasonably. Accordingly, if we sweep a bigger room, for example, a classroom with our classmates, we should learn how to cooperate and allot assignments as well. And a big advantage is that we can draw uful lessons from the failure of performing well becau they didn’t cost a lot.
In another word, though the things em trivial, they reinforce our manipulative ability and thus our understanding to the world. Therefore, we should not ignore the small things.
图为我们的父亲和儿子之间的对话。儿子告诉父亲：“爸爸，我有点担心核废料的处置”。而他的父亲告诉他，“如果你能在这里清空垃圾桶，你可以做任何事情。”它揭示了做小事情做好之前进行一些大的重要性。还有中国有句古话，一个人不能扫天下之前，他可以打扫自己的房间去。
我同意一点，它是一个人去做一些小事情，之前进行一些大的重视。首先，做小东西带来需要的素质，如耐心和控制时间的能力做伟大的事情。例如，当我们打扫我们的房间，我们需要合理地管理我们的时间和精力。因此，如果我们扫了更大的空间，例如，与我们的同学在教室，我们应该学会如何合作及配发分配。也是一大优势是，我们可以从中汲取有益的经验教训，从失败的表现很好，因为他们没有花费很多。
换句话说，虽然这些事情看起来微不足道，他们加强了我们的动手能力，因此，我们对世界的理解。
因此，我们不应该忽略的小东西。
