【5】 The Big Dream of the Zapps—to Travel All over the World

【解析】

短文重點介紹擁有夢想，用行動去實現(xiàn)夢想。介紹了幾個成功的例子。哈里-喬登，在他母親的幫助下，他建立了自己的網(wǎng)站。他的夢想是成為世界上最大的玩具店老板。馬特現(xiàn)在是一名著名歌手。過去他當過郵遞員，送奶工和一個畫家。一對夫婦倆都來自阿根廷。在一輛老車的幫助下，他們旅行了40多個國家。當有人問是什么讓他們旅行整個世界，他們回答說：“這只是一個夢，從阿根廷到整個世界�！�

【1】句意：Harli Jordean的夢想是什么？根據(jù)短文內容Harli's dream is to become the owner of one of the biggest toy stores in the world．（Harli的夢想是成為世界上最大的玩具店的店主之一）可知他的夢想是成為世界上最大的玩具店老板之一，故填Harli's dream is to become the owner of one of the biggest toy stores in the world.

【2】句意：Matt Cardle在成為熱門歌手之前做了哪些工作？根據(jù)短文內容，He worked as a postman，milkman and a painter．（他當過郵遞員，送奶工和一個畫家）可知他干過的工作，故填Before he became a hot singer, he worked as a postman, milkman and a painter.

【3】放棄give up；夢想dream；從沒有，never；所以"從沒有放棄過他的夢想"翻譯為：never give up his dream．但該處要用一般過去時，故填never gave up his dream。

【4】該句為if引導的條件狀語從句，make our dream come true意為：實現(xiàn)我們的夢想，動詞start意為“開始”，故翻譯為：如果我們現(xiàn)在就開始去做，我們每一個人都可以實現(xiàn)我們的夢想。

【5】該新聞講述了來自阿根廷的一對夫妻的夢想，他們打算通過小汽車去周游世界，而且一直為了夢想在努力，可填The Big Dream of the Zapps—to Travel All over the World
