This school year has been normal. However, my family and I spent my sixth-grade year driving all over Europe, seeing amazing places, meeting all kinds of people, and getting closer as a family in the process.When my family decided to move to Europe, we were excited. But we had a problem. We couldnt find a vehicle that had enough space to work for our five-member family, so my dad decided hed just make one. No matter where we were, our new home took some getting used to. I had to leave a lot of my stuff behind because so little of it would fit into my tiny new room. We had to be careful to save our water. And we were doing home-school, which worked out great.No matter what, I made sure to look out my window every morning, because the view was different every day England, then France, Italy, Greece each special in its own way. In country after country, we toured around and tried to pick up little bits of the local language, but that didnt help us much. Luckily we kept finding people who knew some English. Everywhere we went, we saw the most amazing things. I love reading about places in my textbooks and then getting out of our vehicle to look right at them. I cant pick a favorite spot, because whichever one we were at seemed to be the best at the time.After our trip ended, we moved to Florida. But it makes me happy that my family had this great year-long experience together. Im thankful for that.21. Compared with the seventh-grade school year, Graces sixth-grade year was_.A. normal B. painful C. unusual D. successful22. How did Grace and her family travel in Europe?A. By car. B. By taxi. C. By bike. D. By plane. 23. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. Grace likes Italy very much.B. Grace prefers travelling to reading. C. Grace can speak different languages well.D. Grace enjoyed the experience with her family. 24. What would be the best title for the text?A. Getting along with my familyB. Looking out of my windowC. My new moving homeD. My life on the road BDear Arizona,I just found out I have to wear glasses in the new school year. Im afraid people will laugh at me. What should I do? Ryan in GettysburyDear Ryan,As soon as I read your letter, I thought of Tito. He is good at almost every sport. So, when we were playing indoor soccer in gym class and Tito kept messing up（搞糟），I knew there was something unusual. Tito told others that he couldnt see because he had something in his eye.Later that day, I went over to Tito at lunch and asked if his eye was feeling better. And right at that moment, an eyeglasses case dropped out of his backpack. I didnt know Tito wore glasses. I encouraged him to put them on, but he refused and asked me not to tell anyone about the secret.Then one day, this other kid named Tyler in my class showed up wearing a pair of glasses. He looked really cool. Some students even wished they had a pair.The next day, Tito came in wearing his glasses and that was that. Maybe there were a few little jokes at first, but for the most part, people hardly seemed to notice. What people did notice, though, was that Tito went right back to being the best athlete around. He wears special sports glasses and has no trouble keeping his eye on the ball!So, dear Ryan, I hope youll stop worrying. If kids in your school laugh at you about your new glasses, just try to ignore them. Remember that the kids worth playing with are the ones who like you for who you are, not what you wear.Now go out there and have fun looking at the world clearly!Arizona25. Whats Ryans problem?A. He is unable to see clearly. B. He looks strange with glasses.C. He cant get along well with other kids.D. He may be laughed at for wearing glasses. 26. According to the text, in that gym class Tito_.A. played badlyB. hurt his eyeC. broke his glassesD. made his team lose27. Tito began to wear glasses probably because_.A. he wanted to be a cool playerB. he accepted Arizonas advice C. others found out his secretD. Tylers glasses were accepted28. Arizona advised Ryan to_.A. try hard to change what he wearsB. care little about others opinions C. wear special sports glasses D. play with his classmates CHow did the sea horse get its name? Its not hard to guess. The top half of this fish looks like a small horse. But looking at the sea horses tail, you might think “sea monkey” is a better name. Then theres the sea horses pouch（袋）. “Sea kangaroo” might also be a good name for this fish.Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world. They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea. They can also change colors to match their surroundings（环境）. A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding（缠绕）its tail around a plant. It feeds on live food, such as small shrimp. For a fish that doesnt move around much, the sea horse eats a lot in just one day, a sea horse can eat 3,000 shrimp!A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life, and its the male（雄的）sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses. How does this happen? Baby sea horses start out as eggs, which come from the females body. The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch（孵化）. Soon after the babies are born, the female gives her mate a new set of eggs. The male sea horse spends most of its life carrying eggs.Sadly, the number of sea horses is becoming smaller. Why is this happening? Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land. Also, many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish. This really is not a good idea because most sea horses dont live long in aquariums. The best place for a sea horse is the ocean.29. The sea horse got its name because of its_.A. headB. tailC. skinD. pouch30. We can learn from the text that sea horses_.A. like to move aroundB. live in cold ocean waters C. feed on small sea animals D. change colors with the temperature 31. What does a female sea horse do with her eggs?A. She puts them in the males pouch.B. She hides them in sea grasses. C. She carries them around.D. She hatches them. 32. Why is the number of sea horses becoming smaller?A. They grow at a very low speed. B. Their homes are being destroyed.C. They are killed by people for food.D. Their food is becoming less and less. DWe all talk about good and bad habits, but do we really know which is which? Take brushing your teeth for example. Everyone believes it is a good habit, but there are times when it is not. Carls dentist told him he was damaging his teeth by overbrushing them. Wanting to keep them healthy until old age, he brushed his teeth for fifteen minutes after every meal; he was also brushing too hard. Most habits have both advantages and disadvantages. In this book The Habit Change Workbook, Ill help you decide which habits you need to change. First lets meet two people with “bad” habits.Betty liked shopping best. It took her mind off her problems, and helped her forget her worries. She also shopped when she was bored or had something to celebrate, and of course she liked to shop for gifts. Betty showed her love by giving gifts. When she shopped for gifts, though, she often found things for herself and for her home too. She especially enjoyed a big sale. When she found a bargain, shed often buy two, three, or more of the same thing. Betty used credit cards to pay, making it difficult for her to pay the credit card bills each month.Busy and single, Jeff felt that he didnt have time to prepare healthy meals. He often had fast food on the way to and from work. He kept snacks in his desk drawer for fear that he didnt have time for lunch. His kitchen was filled with sodas, cookies, and chips. Jeff was overweight. His doctor told him to eat less fat. The doctor also gave him a diet plan, but Jeff hadnt been successful in following it. Jeff also had trouble sleeping. He would lie awake in bed for hours before falling asleep. Sometimes he read in bed until early morning.33. Why does the author mention Carl at the beginning?A. To teach us how to tell good habits from bad ones. B. To explain that a good habit can have bad results. C. To show us that he is changing his habits.D. To tell us about his bad habits. 34.

We can learn from Paragraph 4 that Jeff _.A. had a happy familyB. hated eating fast foodC. had no problem falling asleepD. failed to follow the doctors diet plan第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Keep a Healthy RabbitRabbits are one of the perfect pets.
