ight is just one of the features (特征) your genes decide. In fact,
because you have two parents, your genes give you a height that
usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If bot
h your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too
. That means your height is genetic. But if you have questions ab
out how tall you''re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can
help you ?nd them out.But genes don''t decide everything. For exa
mple, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your
full potential (潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise
will help you grow to the expected height.It''s natural that you''r
e wondering how fast you should grow. There''s no perfect or right
answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 5 cm a year between
age 3 and the time when they start puberty (the time of life when
you change from a child to an adult).Your doctor will know how y
our growth has been going over the years. 2 cm here and 3 cm ther
e make a little difference to the height you''re at now. How have
you been growing up to this height? What other changes may your b
ody be going through?Don''t be surprised if you seem to have grown
a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt ( 高 峰 )
during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girl
s and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later — between
7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.You''ll usually begin to
notice that you''re growing faster about a year after your body s
tarts to show the ?rst changes of puberty.23.What does the underl
ined word ''''genetic'''' in paragr aph 1 probably mean?A．Passed down
from parents.B．Learned from friends. C．Taught by teachers.D．Exer
cised by yourself.24.What can we learn from the passage?A.Childre
n grows about 3 cm a year during puberty.B.Doctors believe your d
iet and sleep decide your height.C.Your height most probably depe
nds on how tall your parents are.D.Boys'' age for starting puberty
is usually earlier than that for girls''.25.This passage is mainl
y about . A．why you look like your parentsB.how you grow to a cer
tain heightC.how the genes work in your bodyD.why you grow fast d
uring pubertyDAre you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact
, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of
people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness
is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to
understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why pe
ople are shy.Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say y
es. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babie
s are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Inter
estingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result,
scientists think that some shyness is genetic.Family size might
cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University
studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had olde
r brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same
time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well.
Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not abl
e to learn the same social skills as children from big families.Y
ou may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientist
s studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising d
ifferences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Isra
el, only one of three people said so. What explains the differenc
e? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different op
inions of failure (失败). In Japan, when people do not succeed, the
y feel bad about themselves. They blame (责备) themselves for their
failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame
failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or
bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk (风险) taking are
strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about fa
ilure and are less shy.For shy people, it can be dif?cult to make
friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists
say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new thing
s and practicing conversation. And don''t forget — if you are shy,
you are not the only one.26.What can you learn from the passage?
A.Most little babies are born shy and quiet.B.If you are shy now,
you will be shy forever.C.Most Israeli people are shy of express
ing opinions.D.Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.
27.What can cause shyness according to the passage?A．Genetics, gr
ow-ups and birthplace．B．Family size, grow-ups and failure. C．Gene
tics, family size and birthplace.D．Genetics, family size and fail
ure.28.What is the writer''s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To encourage people to study shyness more.B.To introduce the re
asons why people are shy.C.To explain why scientists study shynes
s.D.To show why shyness makes people fail.四、阅读回答（共 10 分，每小题 2 分）阅
读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。Mom and dad — they are two of the most important p
eople in your life. You probably see at least one of them every d
ay and, over your lifetime, they in?uence you more than anyone el

e ''''kids'''' grow up and have children of their own. That means you
have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad.Here are so
me ways you can stay close, get along, and build a strong relatio

tch TV by yourself. Ask your mom and dad to play with you, go out
side together, play a game, or read a book out loudly. Try to spe
nd more time together.Share your feelings and ask for help. Many
kids say they''d like their parents to help them when they''re unha
ppy. So if you''re sad or have a problem, tell your parents and as
k for help. They''ll be happy to help you.Be kind and caring. Litt
le things might mean a lot to your mom and dad. You can brighten
a parent''s day with a hug, a card or a joke. It''s also lovely whe

tant to show that you care for each other. Kids and parents show
their love by respecting ( 尊重 ) each other, and being caring, pol
ite and thoughtful.Do your best at whatever you do. You don''t hav
e to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents
proud. It makes them happy to see how you''re turning into such a
great kid. Why? Because it lets them know you''re doing a good jo

句这一语法，做这类题时，要从三方面考虑：一、选准连接词（引导词）； 二、从句用陈述语序：连接词后紧跟从句的主语（注意主谓一致等）
； 三、若主句是过去时，从句要改为相对应的过去的某种时态；完形填空阅读下面的短文，理解其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D

案为D。CHeight is just one of the features (特征) your genes decide. I
n fact, because you have two parents, your genes give you a heigh
t that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent.
If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be ta
ll, too. That means your height is genetic. But if you have quest
ions about how tall you''re going to be, ask your doctor if he or
she can help you ?nd them out.But genes don''t decide everything.
For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing t
o your full potential (潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough ex
ercise will help you grow to the expected height.It''s natural tha
t you''re wondering how fast you should grow. There''s no perfect o
r right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 5 cm a year b
etween age 3 and the time when they start puberty (the time of li
fe when you change from a child to an adult).Your doctor will kno
w how your growth has been going over the years. 2 cm here and 3
cm there make a little difference to the height you''re at now. Ho
w have you been growing up to this height? What other changes may
your body be going through?Don''t be surprised if you seem to hav
e grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (
高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for
girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later — bet
ween 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.You''ll usually begi
n to notice that you''re growing faster about a year after your bo
dy starts to show the ?rst changes of puberty.23. What does the u
nderlined word ''''genetic'''' in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Passed
down from parents.B. Learned from friends.C. Taught by teachers.
D. Exercised by yourself.24. What can we learn from the passage?A
. Children grows about 3 cm a year during puberty.B. Doctors beli
eve your diet and sleep decide your height.C. Your height most pr
obably depends on how tall your parents are.D. Boys'' age for star
ting puberty is usually earlier than that for girls''.25. This pas
sage is mainly about ______.A. why you look like your parentsB. h
ow you grow to a certain heightC. how the genes work in your body
D. why you grow fast during puberty【答案】23. A 24. C 25. B【解析

you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are sh
y. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their li
ves. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, s
cientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some intere
sting ideas about why people are shy.Is it possible to be born sh
y? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies b
ehave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful
than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have s
hy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is ge
netic.Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientist
s at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66
percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they
became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sist
ers may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by them
selves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as chil
dren from big families.You may also be shy because of where you w
ere born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries,
they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said th
ey were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. Wha
t explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Is
raelis have different opinions of failure (失败). In Japan, when pe
ople do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame (
责备) themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true
. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family
, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion a
nd risk (风险) taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israe
lis worry less about failure and are less shy.For shy people, it
can be dif?cult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a g
ood job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They s
uggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don''t f
orget — if you are shy, you are not the only one.26. What can you
learn from the passage?A. Most little babies are born shy and qu
iet.B. If you are shy now, you will be shy forever.C. Most Israel
i people are shy of expressing opinions.D. Many shy children have
older brothers and sisters.27. What can cause shyness according
to the passage?A. Genetics, grow-ups and birthplace.B. Family siz
e, grow-ups and failure.C. Genetics, family size and birthplace.D
. Genetics, family size and failure.28. What is the writer''s main
purpose in writing this passage?A. To encourage people to study
shyness more.B. To introduce the reasons why people are shy.C. To
explain why scientists study shyness.D. To show why shyness make
s people fail.【答案】26. D 27. C 28. B【解析】文章大意：本文主要说明害羞的原因。主要包
