Question

To the Editor,

I am writing as a member of One-on-One, the sixth-grade mentoring (指导)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. My mentor and I hit it off right away. 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】

这是一封信，马克写信给编辑询问读者加入导师组的可能性，介绍了导师组的功能和作用。

1.

划线的句子是陈述句，主语是our task我们的任务；谓语is是；动词不定式to help做表语，表示“帮助”此处用help sb. do表示“帮助学生达到他们的目标”，“through mentoring”是方式状语，表示“通过指导”。故答案为我们的任务是通过指导帮助学生达到他们的目标。

2.

根据例子此处用动词原形。根据“thinking of studying math in college”及“ I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life”可知马克在数学上的变化是想到大学学习数学，拥有了余生会使用的技能。故答案为have the skills that he will use for the rest of life和think of studying math in college。

3.

“I became friends with my mentor as soon as we met”表示“我们一见面我就和导师成为朋友”意义相近的句子是“My mentor and I hit it off right away”我和我导师一见如故，hit off意为与某人相处得好。故答案为My mentor and I hit it off right away.

4.

句意：马克，我的导师之一，主动提供写信询问学校报纸的读者考虑加入导师组的可能性。

定冠词the后面用名词；介词of后面用名词或动名词。根据第一段“We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group”以及倒数第二段“But 1 hope you will at least consider the possibility.”可知此处填名词readers表示“读者”和动名词joining。故答案为readers和joining。
