As a mushroom scientist, you are vastly outnumbered. It is estimated that there are between 2.2 million and 3.8 million species of fungi (真菌), the majority of which are yet to be identified. However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. A passionate community of hobbyists has appeared, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These hobbyists have even made significant discoveries. One such hobbyist is Taylor Lockwood, a 74-year-old mushroom fan and professional photographer.
In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, mushrooms became attractive to Taylor Lockwood. “Outside my house were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” Lockwood answered their call and bought camera equipment to capture (拍摄) their true nature. His passion for photographing mushrooms was so strong that he would even dig holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect position for his shots.
In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. Upon further investigation, fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom, which is an uncommon find. “Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says. “They don’t come up at the same time every year, and sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye.
A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren’t sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms. “When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific feature of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart.
4. What can we learn about mushroom lovers from paragraph 1?
A. They keep close track of the growth of fungi.
B. They replace professional scientists in the field.
C. They help identify new species of mushroom.
D. They classify the majority of mushroom species.
5. What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms?
A. His desire for knowledge. B. The beauty of nearby mushrooms.
C. His curiosity about nature. D. The attraction of outdoor photography.
6. Which of the following best describes Lockwood according to paragraph 3?
A. Organized and responsible. B. Focused and flexible.
C. Talented and positive. D. Skilled and observant.
7. Why did Lockwood decide to make time-lapse videos of mushrooms?
A. To improve his photography skills.
B. To use a new approach to scientific studies.
C. To capture energetic life in an artistic way.
D. To collect data about nature for further research.

Researchers at MIT created a high-tech pill (药片) that starts to vibrate (震动) once it makes contact with liquid in the user’s stomach and make him or her feel full. The pill was reportedly thought up by Shriya Srinivasan, currently an assistant professor of bioengineering at Harvard University.
VIBES, short for Vibrating Ingestible Bio Electronic Stimulator, was only recently made public in a study published in the Science Journal, but it is already being announced by the media as the future of weight loss. Although it has yet to be tested on humans, trials on pigs have achieved very hopeful results. After about 30 minutes of VIBES activity, pigs ate on average almost 40 percent less food in the next half hour than they did without the smart pill. Apparently, the novel device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach, modeling the presence of food. This in turn signals the brain to increase the levels of hormones (激素) that make us feel full. The vibrating stimulator, which is about the size of a vitamin pill, is powered by battery and activated either by the stomach liquid breaking down the coat around the pill, or by an incorporated timer. After producing the desired effect, the pill exits the body with other solid waste.
The good news is that it is expected to have a cost within dollar range, and researchers say that it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly take it.
“Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of a low-cost, non-operative intervention to reduce food intake and calorie burning. The device functions effectively in the stomach, leading to fullness,” said Giovanni Traverso, co-author of the study. “The device has the potential to overturn options for weight loss treatment. However, future studies will need to explore the physiological effects of the device before it’s available for patients.”
Researchers are now exploring ways to increase the producing of VIBES capsules, which could enable clinical trials in humans.
8. What is the outcome of taking the pill?
A. Food storage. B. Recovery of users.
C. Liquid production. D. Sensation of fullness.
9. Which aspect of the device is mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Its testing history. B. Its side effect. C. Its working principle. D. Its intelligence.
10. What is Giovanni Traverso’s attitude towards the future of the device?
A. Worried. B. Watchful. C. Doubtful. D. Confused.
11. What is the researchers’ ultimate goal of the device?
A. To fix it in human body. B. To destroy the coat around it.
C. To produce stomach liquid with it. D. To remove solid waste from it.
D
A team led by Geoffrey W. Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, announced they had found two planetary systems, one of them just 15 light-years away from the Earth. Each system features a star roughly similar to the sun and some very unusual planets.
Among the 50 or so stars where extra-solar planets have been studied, scientists have reported only one with more than a single planet. These new systems bring some surprises. One has a huge object which may be a failed star. The other system has two planets that move in a special way around their star.
The planets were not seen directly. Instead, the group measured the wobbles that the orbiting bodies produce in their respective suns. The wobble is caused by the pull of the planets as they orbit their stars.
In the first system, the sun-like star HD 168443 is 123 light-years away from the Earth. One planet, already known, is seven times the size of Jupiter. Now, the researchers find that HD 168443 has a second companion, which is at least 17 times bigger than Jupiter. That’s too massive for a normal planet but not quite big enough to be a real star. It might be a “brown dwarf”, a kind of failed star.
The second system orbits the red dwarf star Gliese 876. One planet orbits the star in 61 days. The other orbits in about 30 days. These two planets pull on each other and move in a stable (稳定的) pattern.
The planets’ orbital harmony may enable the researchers to measure the actual mass of each body. Geoffrey speculates (推测) that the two haven’t always had this special relationship. The inner one has moved close r to the parent star and the outer one followed at a more rapid clip. “Understanding this system could open windows on the diversity of planet formation in the universe,” Geoffrey says.
12. What can we know about the two planetary systems?
A. They will become livable in the near future.
B. They will fall into failed stars in some ways.
C. They are the same as the sun and other planets.
D. They are different from the stars studied before.
13. How does the author present the first system in paragraph 4?
A. By giving examples. B. By making a summary.
C. By explaining an idea. D. By drawing comparisons.
14. What are Geoffrey’s words mainly about?
A. The significance of the finding. B. A way to measure a planet.
C. A problem with the far planets. D. The importance of finding life.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Relationships between the Sun and the Earth B. Scientists Found New Planetary Systems
C. The Force Affecting the Movement of Planets D. Planet Hunters Explored the Solar System

The school day was coming to an end. Fourth-grader Wilson was filling his backpack with books and supplies when a voice came out of the loudspeaker. “Good afternoon, students. This is a reminder that the All-City Math Competition will be in two weeks. The competition is open to fifth and sixth graders, and the top prize is fifty dollars. If you are interested in it, please speak to your teacher.”
Wilson’s eyes lit up at the mention of the competition. He had always loved math and felt confident in his ability. “I will do really well in that competition,” he said to himself. When the bell rang and the class flooded into the hallway, Wilson saw his math teacher, Ms Jones, was still at her desk. He quickly made his way over to her. “Ms Jones?” he began, trying to sound as formal as possible. “I would like to participate in the math competition.”
Ms Jones looked up from her papers and said, “That’s wonderful, Wilson, but I’m afraid that this competition is for fifth and sixth graders only. Besides, we haven’t covered most of the knowledge that will be tested in the competition.”
“But you know that I’m good at math!” Wilson protested. “I do math problems with my brother every day—and he’s in sixth grade! I think I could do really well!”
Ms Jones shook her head slightly and gave Wilson a compassionate (同情的) look. “You are a very good math student, Wilson, but rules are rules. I’m sure that you can enter next year.”
Wilson’s heart sank when he heard the words. He knew that Ms Jones was right, but it didn’t make him feel any less disappointed. He had been looking forward to the competition and felt like he had a good chance of winning. “Okay,” he said in a low voice, “I understand.”

As a mushroom scientist, you are vastly outnumbered. It is estimated that there are between 2.2 million and 3.8 million species of fungi (真菌), the majority of which are yet to be identified. However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. A passionate community of hobbyists has appeared, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These hobbyists have even made significant discoveries. One such hobbyist is Taylor Lockwood, a 74-year-old mushroom fan and professional photographer.
In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, mushrooms became attractive to Taylor Lockwood. “Outside my house were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” Lockwood answered their call and bought camera equipment to capture (拍摄) their true nature. His passion for photographing mushrooms was so strong that he would even dig holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect position for his shots.
In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. Upon further investigation, fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom, which is an uncommon find. “Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says. “They don’t come up at the same time every year, and sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye.
A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren’t sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms. “When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific feature of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart.
4. What can we learn about mushroom lovers from paragraph 1?
A. They keep close track of the growth of fungi.
B. They replace professional scientists in the field.
C. They help identify new species of mushroom.
D. They classify the majority of mushroom species.
5. What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms?
A. His desire for knowledge. B. The beauty of nearby mushrooms.
C. His curiosity about nature. D. The attraction of outdoor photography.
6. Which of the following best describes Lockwood according to paragraph 3?
A. Organized and responsible. B. Focused and flexible.
C. Talented and positive. D. Skilled and observant.
7. Why did Lockwood decide to make time-lapse videos of mushrooms?
A. To improve his photography skills.
B. To use a new approach to scientific studies.
C. To capture energetic life in an artistic way.
D. To collect data about nature for further research.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Upon further investigation, fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom, which is an uncommon find. “Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says. “They don’t come up at the same time every year, and sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye (经过进一步调查,真菌研究员Amy Rossman证实这是一种“榛色手套蘑菇”,这是一种罕见的发现。“蘑菇不像植物,”Rossman说。“它们不是每年都在同一时间出现,有时一种真菌结果之间可能会相隔数十年。”Rossman说,这就是为什么像Taylor Lockwood这样的人用训练有素的眼睛在森林里搜索是如此有价值)”可知,Lockwood能够发现罕见的蘑菇,说明他很有技能,并且能够敏锐地观察到,可推理出用“Skilled and observant(熟练的和善于观察的)”来描述Lockwood最合适。故选D项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren’t sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms. “When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms — insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific feature of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart (几年前,Taylor Lockwood意识到静态照片是不够的,所以他选择制作蘑菇的延时视频。“当我做延时摄影时,我看到蘑菇周围发生了很多生命活动——昆虫、蠕虫和其他小生物与它们互动,”他说。Lockwood对艺术的热爱在他长时间拍摄蘑菇的方法中显而易见。虽然他欣赏自己作品中的科学特点,但他内心认为自己是一名艺术家)”可知,Lockwood决定制作蘑菇的延时视频是为了以艺术的方式捕捉充满活力的生命。故选C项。

Researchers at MIT created a high-tech pill (药片) that starts to vibrate (震动) once it makes contact with liquid in the user’s stomach and make him or her feel full. The pill was reportedly thought up by Shriya Srinivasan, currently an assistant professor of bioengineering at Harvard University.
VIBES, short for Vibrating Ingestible Bio Electronic Stimulator, was only recently made public in a study published in the Science Journal, but it is already being announced by the media as the future of weight loss. Although it has yet to be tested on humans, trials on pigs have achieved very hopeful results. After about 30 minutes of VIBES activity, pigs ate on average almost 40 percent less food in the next half hour than they did without the smart pill. Apparently, the novel device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach, modeling the presence of food. This in turn signals the brain to increase the levels of hormones (激素) that make us feel full. The vibrating stimulator, which is about the size of a vitamin pill, is powered by battery and activated either by the stomach liquid breaking down the coat around the pill, or by an incorporated timer. After producing the desired effect, the pill exits the body with other solid waste.
The good news is that it is expected to have a cost within dollar range, and researchers say that it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly take it.
“Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of a low-cost, non-operative intervention to reduce food intake and calorie burning. The device functions effectively in the stomach, leading to fullness,” said Giovanni Traverso, co-author of the study. “The device has the potential to overturn options for weight loss treatment. However, future studies will need to explore the physiological effects of the device before it’s available for patients.”
Researchers are now exploring ways to increase the producing of VIBES capsules, which could enable clinical trials in humans.
8. What is the outcome of taking the pill?
A. Food storage. B. Recovery of users.
C. Liquid production. D. Sensation of fullness.
9. Which aspect of the device is mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Its testing history. B. Its side effect. C. Its working principle. D. Its intelligence.
10. What is Giovanni Traverso’s attitude towards the future of the device?
A. Worried. B. Watchful. C. Doubtful. D. Confused.
11. What is the researchers’ ultimate goal of the device?
A. To fix it in human body. B. To destroy the coat around it.
C. To produce stomach liquid with it. D. To remove solid waste from it.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】

A team led by Geoffrey W. Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, announced they had found two planetary systems, one of them just 15 light-years away from the Earth. Each system features a star roughly similar to the sun and some very unusual planets.
Among the 50 or so stars where extra-solar planets have been studied, scientists have reported only one with more than a single planet. These new systems bring some surprises. One has a huge object which may be a failed star. The other system has two planets that move in a special way around their star.
The planets were not seen directly. Instead, the group measured the wobbles that the orbiting bodies produce in their respective suns. The wobble is caused by the pull of the planets as they orbit their stars.
In the first system, the sun-like star HD 168443 is 123 light-years away from the Earth. One planet, already known, is seven times the size of Jupiter. Now, the researchers find that HD 168443 has a second companion, which is at least 17 times bigger than Jupiter. That’s too massive for a normal planet but not quite big enough to be a real star. It might be a “brown dwarf”, a kind of failed star.
The second system orbits the red dwarf star Gliese 876. One planet orbits the star in 61 days. The other orbits in about 30 days. These two planets pull on each other and move in a stable (稳定的) pattern.
The planets’ orbital harmony may enable the researchers to measure the actual mass of each body. Geoffrey speculates (推测) that the two haven’t always had this special relationship. The inner one has moved close r to the parent star and the outer one followed at a more rapid clip. “Understanding this system could open windows on the diversity of planet formation in the universe,” Geoffrey says.
12. What can we know about the two planetary systems?
A. They will become livable in the near future.
B. They will fall into failed stars in some ways.
C. They are the same as the sun and other planets.
D. They are different from the stars studied before.
13. How does the author present the first system in paragraph 4?
A. By giving examples. B. By making a summary.
C. By explaining an idea. D. By drawing comparisons.
14. What are Geoffrey’s words mainly about?
A. The significance of the finding. B. A way to measure a planet.
C. A problem with the far planets. D. The importance of finding life.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Relationships between the Sun and the Earth B. Scientists Found New Planetary Systems
C. The Force Affecting the Movement of Planets D. Planet Hunters Explored the Solar System
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以酒店场景引入指出表情解读是跨语言交流方式,也提及文化差异影响解读,建议关注表情助交流。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:你经过长途旅行后很累,但你还没有预订房间。此处a room(房间)与 book(预订)之间是被动关系,即房间被预订,所以应用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填booked。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在走向前台工作人员之前,你停下来观察她的脸,评估她的友好程度。句子的谓语动词是 stop,assess(评估)与逻辑主语you之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式作伴随状语。故填assessing。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她看起来很和蔼,所以你决定走过去,但首先你特意露出微笑,希望被认为是友好的。hope to do sth “希望做某事”;此处you与perceive之间是被动关系,所以应用不定式的被动式to be perceived。故填to be perceived。
【39题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:阅读面部表情是解读人们想法或感受的一种常用手段,尤其是在跨越语言障碍的情况下。句子的主语是Reading facial expressions(解读面部表情),动名词短语作主语时,谓语动词应用单数形式;文章整体时态为一般现在时,所以此处be动词用is。故填is。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:虽然对表情的基本解释可能在不同文化中都适用,但习得的行为模式确实会影响人们对面部表情的不同理解。空处作主语,basic(基本的)是形容词,形容词后应接名词,interpret(解读,理解)的名词形式是interpretation。故填interpretation。
【41题详解】
考查名词的复数形式。句意:虽然对表情的基本解释可能在不同文化中都适用,但习得的行为模式确实会影响人们对面部表情的不同理解。pattern(模式,方式)是可数名词,根据谓语动词do可知,主语应为复数形式,所以pattern应用复数patterns。故填patterns。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:例如,微笑被普遍认为是幸福和友好的象征。此处需要一个副词来修饰动词interpreted,universal(普遍的)的副词形式是universally“普遍地”。故填universally。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在一些亚洲文化中,微笑可以用来克服不舒服或引起焦虑的情况,而在其他文化中,这可能是不合适的。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子a smile can be used to overcome an uncomfortable or anxiety-causing situation,且关系词在从句中作主语,所以应用关系代词which。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:跨越语言障碍的交流可能很困难,但记住我们根据面部表情得出结论是有帮助的。according to是固定短语,意为“根据,按照”,符合此处“根据面部表情得出结论”的语境。故填to。
【45题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意:所以,下次当你在一家外国酒店的大堂感到疲倦时,想想你的面部表情:一个放松的脸和温柔的微笑可能会让你睡个好觉。a good night’s sleep是固定表达,意为“一夜好眠”,此处表示泛指“一个”,且good是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。

第二节 默写(共5小题,每小题3分,满分15分)
56. 几百年来,照料驯鹿是萨米人的一种生活方式。(汉译英)
【答案】For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami.
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构及非谓语动词用法。表示“几百年来”可使用介词短语for hundreds of years作时间状语;表示“照料驯鹿是萨米人的一种生活方式”可使用动词短语look after reindeer的动名词形式作主语,系动词作谓语,在课文中该句描述的是萨米人过去的生活方式,应使用一般过去时态,单数形式,a way of life for the Sami作表语。注意句首字母大写。故翻译为For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami.
57. 由于驯鹿总是四处迁徙,萨米人会收起帐篷,跟随它们同行。(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Since reindeer are always on the move, the Sami will pick up their tents and accompany them.
【解析】
【详解】“由于”表达为Since,“驯鹿”为reindeer,该词单复数同形,此处表泛指一类群体用原形即可,“总是四处迁徙”表达为are always on the move,“萨米人”为the Sami,“收起帐篷”表达为pick up their tents,“跟随它们同行”表达为accompany them。句子前半部分描述驯鹿长期一贯的习性,用一般现在时,后半部分描述萨米人相应的习惯性后续行为,用一般将来时符合逻辑,整体采用since引导原因状语从句衔接主从句,符合英文表达习惯。
58. 我不是萨米人(Sami),但在萨雷克(Sarek),我养成了他们的一些习惯。(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I have adopted some of their habits.
【解析】
【详解】“萨米人”直接用专有名词Sami指代该族群成员,“萨雷克”是地名专有名词Sarek,“养成了”表达为adopt,“一些习惯”表达为some of their habits。前半句表述客观身份属性,用一般现在时,主语I搭配be动词am,用否定式am not表身份不符;后半句描述在萨雷克时已经完成的动作,用现在完成时have adopted,整句由转折连词but连接两个并列分句,符合英文表达逻辑。
59. 关键是使用身势语的方式要与你所处的文化相适应。(汉译英)

【详解】句首“关键是”可表达为The crucial thing is,“使用身势语”表达为use body language,“……的方式”表达为in a way,“与……相适应”表达为is appropriate to,“你所处的文化”表达为the culture you are in,用省略关系代词的定语从句修饰culture。句子整体表述的是客观通用的行为准则,使用一般现在时,主句为主系表结构,两个定语从句分别修饰先行词the way和the culture,符合英文表达逻辑。
60. 相反,在另一些国家,眼神交流并不总是被认可。(汉译英)
【答案】In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved of.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和语态。“相反”用短语by contrast;“在另一些国家”翻译为in other countries;“眼神交流”翻译为eye contact;“认可”用短语 approve of。陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语与谓语为被动关系。用被动语态。故翻译为In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved of。
第三节 读后续写(满分25分)
61. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The school day was coming to an end. Fourth-grader Wilson was filling his backpack with books and supplies when a voice came out of the loudspeaker. “Good afternoon, students. This is a reminder that the All-City Math Competition will be in two weeks. The competition is open to fifth and sixth graders, and the top prize is fifty dollars. If you are interested in it, please speak to your teacher.”
Wilson’s eyes lit up at the mention of the competition. He had always loved math and felt confident in his ability. “I will do really well in that competition,” he said to himself. When the bell rang and the class flooded into the hallway, Wilson saw his math teacher, Ms Jones, was still at her desk. He quickly made his way over to her. “Ms Jones?” he began, trying to sound as formal as possible. “I would like to participate in the math competition.”
Ms Jones looked up from her papers and said, “That’s wonderful, Wilson, but I’m afraid that this competition is for fifth and sixth graders only. Besides, we haven’t covered most of the knowledge that will be tested in the competition.”
“But you know that I’m good at math!” Wilson protested. “I do math problems with my brother every day—and he’s in sixth grade! I think I could do really well!”
Ms Jones shook her head slightly and gave Wilson a compassionate (同情的) look. “You are a very good math student, Wilson, but rules are rules. I’m sure that you can enter next year.”
Wilson’s heart sank when he heard the words. He knew that Ms Jones was right, but it didn’t make him feel any less disappointed. He had been looking forward to the competition and felt like he had a good chance of winning. “Okay,” he said in a low voice, “I understand.”

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
P.1 Wilson came home upset, going straight upstairs without talking to his mother. His mother soon appeared at his door, asking him with a concerned look, “Honey, did something happen today?” Wilson was silent for a minute, and then he told his mom about the competition and complained it was unfair. Wilson’s mother put her hand on his shoulder and said softly, “I can relate to your feelings. Maybe you can find a way to convince your teacher that the rule could be bent…or even broken.” Wilson calmed down and came up with a brilliant idea.
P.2 The next day, Wilson arrived at school an hour early and found Ms Jones already at her desk. “Good morning,” Ms Jones,” he said. “I’ve brought all of my brother’s sixth-grade practice tests. You can choose any one for me. If I do a good job in the test, can I be in the competition?” Though surprised, Ms Jones agreed to let him try. Forty minutes later, Wilson finished the test and handed it to Ms Jones, who was amazed to find the boy had got everything right. She nodded, then promised, “I’ll show this to the headmaster later today. Maybe we can make an exception for you.” “Thank you so much, Ms Jones!” Wilson said excitedly.
