【答案】

【1】似乎讀書不再是一種受歡迎的活動了。

【2】愛讀書的人對事物是如何運作的有更多的了解。/書讀得多的人對事物的運轉(zhuǎn)方式更了解。

【4】Reading is one of the most necessary things that we can do in our spare time.

【5】Reading is very important in your life, no matter what your age is / no matter how old you are.

【解析】

本文講述了閱讀的重要性。

【1】這是that引導(dǎo)的表語從句。it seems that… 意為“似乎，好像”；no long 意為“不再”。故答案為似乎讀書不再是一種受歡迎的活動了。

【2】句中包含how引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，表示方式，其中work是謂語動詞，意為“運作”，how things work即：事物是如何運作。另外，…of….是所有格，意為“……的……”；主語heavy readers可翻譯為：愛讀書的人/書讀得多的人。故答案為愛讀書的人對事物是如何運作的有更多的了解。/書讀得多的人對事物的運轉(zhuǎn)方式更了解。

【3】此句是祈使句，動詞原形開頭。imagine doing sth. 意為“想象做某事”；as simple as 意為“像……一樣簡單”；without… 意為“沒有……”，介賓短語作狀語。故答案為想象一下，在沒有良好閱讀技能的情況下去做些像讀藥瓶上的說明這樣簡單的事情。

【4】one of + 形容詞最高級+名詞復(fù)數(shù) 意為“最……的……之一”；in one’s spare time 意為“在某人的空閑時間”；此句主干為：Reading is one of the most necessary things，而“我們可以做的（事情）”即“that we can do”作定語從句修飾things，在從句中，that代指先行詞things作do的賓語。故答案為Reading is one of the most necessary things that we can do in our spare time.

【5】no matter what… 意為“無論什么”；no matter how…意為“無論怎樣”，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。故答案為Reading is very important in your life, no matter what your age is / no matter how old you are.
