It was half past seven on Monday morning: time to get ready for school. Jay Stone rolled out of bed. He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to his mirror (镜子) and looked at himself.
“Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn’t ready for Hollywood, but with his dark brown eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads. He moved closer to the mirror and smiled, checking his teeth.
“Perfect,” he thought. “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.”
As his eyes moved down to his strong arms, he smiled again. The hours he spent in the gym and doing sit-ups have paid off.
But suddenly, the smile froze. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short. Not just short, but far too short for his body. He had the upper body of a six-footer, but because of his legs he was much less than six feet! Six inches less! Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone. Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls.
Why didn’t his legs grow with the rest of his body? He was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own family, he was even shorter than his “little” sister—by three inches! Where did his legs come from?
He certainly didn’t get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking through old family photos, he found the answer. It was his grandfather on his mother’s side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle.
Thanks a lot, Grandpa!
Of course, the kids at school all noticed Jay’s short legs and they had a nickname (外号) for him: Stubs! Almost no one called him by his real name; they all called him Stubs. Stubs Stone, Jay didn’t like his nickname, but he had to accept it. He had no choice.
But Jay couldn’t see in the mirror what his legs could do. They were quick and strong. He was the youngest player on the Brewer High football team. He could run faster than anyone else in the team and, like a rabbit, he kept going and going. Even at basketball, where the other players were much taller than him, they were still afraid of him because of his speed.
Jay shook his head. “Stubs, Stubs Stone, the kid with stubby legs. Yeah, that’s me,” he said to himself with a little smile. Suddenly, he heard his mother’s voice.
“Jay! It’s breakfast time!”
22. What did Jay do after he got up on the Monday morning?
A. He did some housework. B. He took some family photos.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容根据要求完成各小题。
To the Editor (编辑),
I am writing as a member of One-on-One, the sixth-grade mentoring (指导;导师) group. Our group is two years old and made up of 14 students. Our task is to help students reach their goals through mentoring. We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group. This is my first year as a mentor, but I have already learned that everyone taking part in mentoring gets something out of it.
I was assigned (分配) to a mentor last year: Mentoring was one of the best things that happened to me. I was able to turn the corner at an important point in my studies, going from nearly failing math to passing it. It still amazes me that I completely changed from almost hating math to loving it! Would you believe I’m even thinking of studying math in college? Even if I don’t, I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life. My own experience made me feel certain of becoming a mentor this year and helping other students like myself. Now that I am a mentor, I realize what a good feeling you get from helping someone else and knowing that you’re making a difference in his or her life. In many situations, lasting friendships are made as well. I became friends with my mentor as soon as we met. And we’re still good friends today.
Becoming a mentor is a serious commitment (承诺). Mentors spend one hour every week with the student they are mentoring. Considering your responsibilities, it may be difficult to add another commitment to your schedule. But I hope you will at least consider the possibility.
Thank you for considering our invitation. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Mark Lopez

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了Mark Lopez作为“一对一”导师组成员写给校报编辑的信。
【32题详解】
根据“I was able to turn the corner at an important point in my studies, going from nearly failing math to passing it. It still amazes me that I completely changed from almost hating math to loving it…Would you believe I’m even thinking of studying math in college? Even if I don’t, I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life.”可知,Mark在数学学习中所做的变化有:从数学险些不及格变成了顺利通过;从原本几乎厌恶数学变得热爱数学;考虑大学学数学。故填love math;think of studying math in college。
33题详解】
根据“We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group…Considering your responsibilities, it may be difficult to add another commitment to your schedule. But I hope you will at least consider the possibility.”可知信件开头明确提到写作目的是希望校报读者加入导师小组,后续通过自身经历说明参与的意义,最终呼吁大家考虑加入。故填To invite readers to join the mentoring group.
【34题详解】
根据“I became friends with my mentor as soon as we met.”可知我们一见面,我就和我的导师成为了朋友。与题干中“When we first met each other, we made friends with my mentor.”意思相同。故填I became friends with my mentor as soon as we met.
【35题详解】
Our task“我们的任务”;is to help students“是去帮助学生”;reach their goals“达到他们的目标”;through mentoring“通过指导”。故填:我们的任务是通过导师指导帮助学生实现他们的目标。
【36题详解】
信件核心是呼吁加入导师小组,并强调其对个人和他人的积极影响。标题可以为“指导:帮助他人并成长自己”。故填Mentoring: Help Others and Grow Yourself

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成表格信息,并将答案写到答题卡上相应的位置。
We know elephants never get lost. People find some animals can easily find their ways home like elephants. How do they make it? The research shows that they are born with certain special abilities for direction. It’s amazing, right?
A kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest.
Some fishes have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we should simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
Animals’ ___47___ for direction
Fact
It’s ___48___ for some animals to find their ways home like elephants.
Examples
●The ants which live in the desert can’t get lost even though they go as far as 110 meters because they can count their steps.
● ___49___ some fishes and sea birds have an unbelievable sense of smell.
●Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field.
Problem and ___50___
●Human activities bring problems to the animals which have such unusual abilities.
●People should turn off some lights at night ___51___ many birds depend on stars for direction.
One small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
【答案】47. special abilities
48. easy##not difficult##not hard
49. Both 50. advice##solution##suggestion
51. because##as
【解析】

【47题详解】
根据“The research shows that they are born with certain special abilities for direction.”可知本文主要介绍了动物天生就具有某些不寻常的方向感。故填special abilities。
【48题详解】
根据“People find some animals can easily find their ways home like elephants.”可知有些动物像大象一样很容易找到回家的路,easy“容易的”,not difficult/hard“不难”。故填easy/not difficult/not hard。
【49题详解】
根据“Some fishes have an unbelievable sense of smell.”以及“Some sea birds have a similar ability”可知鱼和海鸟都有令人难以置信的嗅觉,both...and...“两者都”。故填Both。
【50题详解】
根据“To solve this problem, we should simply turn off some lights at night”可知本部分介绍了具有这种不同寻常能力的动物面对的问题以及建议,advice“建议”,solution“解决方法”,suggestion“建议”。故填advice/solution/suggestion。
【51题详解】
根据“To solve this problem, we should simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.”可知我们应该在晚上关掉一些灯,因为人类的一个小行为对动物来说可能意味着很多,because/as“因为”。故填because/as。

【答案】例文
At present, in different cities of China, many parents take their children to and from school every day, rain or shine. My parents did so when I was in Grade 7. The phenomenon has sparked debate among people.
Some people think it ensures the safety of children, especially in busy traffic. It also allows children to feel the care and love of their parents. Others believe it may prevent children from developing independence. Moreover, it takes up a lot of time and energy for parents.

It was half past seven on Monday morning: time to get ready for school. Jay Stone rolled out of bed. He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to his mirror (镜子) and looked at himself.
“Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn’t ready for Hollywood, but with his dark brown eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads. He moved closer to the mirror and smiled, checking his teeth.
“Perfect,” he thought. “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.”
As his eyes moved down to his strong arms, he smiled again. The hours he spent in the gym and doing sit-ups have paid off.
But suddenly, the smile froze. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short. Not just short, but far too short for his body. He had the upper body of a six-footer, but because of his legs he was much less than six feet! Six inches less! Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone. Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls.
Why didn’t his legs grow with the rest of his body? He was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own family, he was even shorter than his “little” sister—by three inches! Where did his legs come from?
He certainly didn’t get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking through old family photos, he found the answer. It was his grandfather on his mother’s side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle.
Thanks a lot, Grandpa!
Of course, the kids at school all noticed Jay’s short legs and they had a nickname (外号) for him: Stubs! Almost no one called him by his real name; they all called him Stubs. Stubs Stone, Jay didn’t like his nickname, but he had to accept it. He had no choice.
But Jay couldn’t see in the mirror what his legs could do. They were quick and strong. He was the youngest player on the Brewer High football team. He could run faster than anyone else in the team and, like a rabbit, he kept going and going. Even at basketball, where the other players were much taller than him, they were still afraid of him because of his speed.
Jay shook his head. “Stubs, Stubs Stone, the kid with stubby legs. Yeah, that’s me,” he said to himself with a little smile. Suddenly, he heard his mother’s voice.
“Jay! It’s breakfast time!”
22. What did Jay do after he got up on the Monday morning?
A. He did some housework. B. He took some family photos.
C. He watched TV for some time. D. He did some wake-up exercises.
23. What can we learn about Jay in paragraphs 2—4?
A. He was satisfied with his looks. B. He wanted to be a film actor.
C. He once played a role in an ad. D. He found it useless to do sit-ups.
24. What does the underlined word “froze” probably mean in paragraph 5?
A. Spread. B. Stopped. C. Continued. D. Returned.
25. Which of the following best describes Jay?
A. Strict and serious. B. Clever and helpful.
C. Funny and confident. D. Patient and hard-working.
26. What does the writer mainly want to tell in the passage?
A. Teenagers like to play tricks on each other.
B. Teenagers should have dreams in their hearts.
C. People’s legs usually grow with other body parts.

To the Editor (编辑),
I am writing as a member of One-on-One, the sixth-grade mentoring (指导;导师) group. Our group is two years old and made up of 14 students. Our task is to help students reach their goals through mentoring. We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group. This is my first year as a mentor, but I have already learned that everyone taking part in mentoring gets something out of it.
I was assigned (分配) to a mentor last year: Mentoring was one of the best things that happened to me. I was able to turn the corner at an important point in my studies, going from nearly failing math to passing it. It still amazes me that I completely changed from almost hating math to loving it! Would you believe I’m even thinking of studying math in college? Even if I don’t, I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life. My own experience made me feel certain of becoming a mentor this year and helping other students like myself. Now that I am a mentor, I realize what a good feeling you get from helping someone else and knowing that you’re making a difference in his or her life. In many situations, lasting friendships are made as well. I became friends with my mentor as soon as we met. And we’re still good friends today.
Becoming a mentor is a serious commitment (承诺). Mentors spend one hour every week with the student they are mentoring. Considering your responsibilities, it may be difficult to add another commitment to your schedule. But I hope you will at least consider the possibility.
Thank you for considering our invitation. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Mark Lopez

We know elephants never get lost. People find some animals can easily find their ways home like elephants. How do they make it? The research shows that they are born with certain special abilities for direction. It’s amazing, right?
A kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest.
Some fishes have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we should simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
Animals’ ___47___ for direction
