At age eight，she started raising money to build a playground． "It took me two years，" Kaitlin said． "We started small．We wanted to do something to make a difference．"
In 2014，When Kaitlin was thirteen，she visited Central America，and saw people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard．That year，we set Kids on a Mission，which has helped hundreds of people there．"The rooms were smaller than my bedroom，but there would be eight people living in each one，" Kaitlin said． "We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking out of．"Providing clean drinking water，food and clothes for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission． "This young lady is changing the hearts of people，and also changing the world，" said the headmaster of Kaitlin's school．

12．（8分）How do you feel when you have to sing a song in front of class？What about when you go to a birthday party？Do you get really shy？
Shyness means feelings nervous（紧张的）or afraid when you're around other people.Scientists have found that more than 80% of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention（关注）.Some kids are born shy.Some become shy later because of their life experiences（经历）.
It is OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.In fact，everybody gets a little shy sometimes.It's just a case of how much.
Most people have red faces and can hardly talk when they get shy.But some become so shy that they won't go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food.Some are afraid of meeting new people，so they seldom go outside.This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.
If shyness doesn't stop you from doing something you want to do，being shy isn't a very big problem.Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less.Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people.Some great people in history were shy，too.
You see，being shy isn't all bad.But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it!If you have to sing a song at a birthday or practice your speaking English in front of others，just do it!There's nothing to be afraid of.
（1）You may be shy in the following situations EXCEPT（除了） .
A.making a speech in front of class
B.going to a birthday party
C.doing homework at home alone
D.being the center of attention
（2）The underlined phrase "to feel yourself again" in the Paragraph 3 means .
A.to find yourself
B.to be yourself
C.to enjoy yourself
D.to help yourself
（3）What kind of shyness can be bad according to the passage？
A.You find it hard to enjoy yourself at a party.
B.You feel a little nervous when you go to a new place.
C.You hardly go outside，afraid of meeting new people.
D.You have a red face when you are asked to answer a question in class.
（4）We can infer（推断）from the passage that .
A.kids are all born shy
B.you can't change yourself
C.shy people can also be successful
D.shy people are not good at working with others
13．（8分）John went to see God after he died.God looked at him，feeling very unhappy，"You've lived in this world for 60 years.Why didn't you get any result at all？"John said angrily，"My God，I couldn't become a successful person just because you didn't give me any chance（机会）.If you let that magic apple hit on my head，the man who found the law of gravity （万有引力） should be me.
God said，"OK，let's try again."
God waved（挥动）his hands and the time turned back to a few hundred years ago.God shook（摇）the apple tree for the first time，when a red apple fell and happened to drop on John's head.John picked up the apple，and ate it up quickly.God dropped another bigger apple on John's head and John ate it up once again.God shook the apple tree for the third time.When a much bigger apple fell on John's head，he threw it out，and shouted angrily，"The apple annoyed （打搅） my sweet dream!What a bad luck!"
The apple flew out and happened to fall on Newton's head.Newton picked up the apple and thought for a long time.Then he found the law of gravity at last.
The time returned once again now.
God said to John， "John，do you understand it now？"John asked，"My God，please give me another chance...I will.." God shook his head and said，"No.The chance that the apple drops on the head of everyone is the same，but each person's ability（能力）to catch the chance is different."

12．（8分）How do you feel when you have to sing a song in front of class？What about when you go to a birthday party？Do you get really shy？
Shyness means feelings nervous（紧张的）or afraid when you're around other people.Scientists have found that more than 80% of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention（关注）.Some kids are born shy.Some become shy later because of their life experiences（经历）.
It is OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.In fact，everybody gets a little shy sometimes.It's just a case of how much.
Most people have red faces and can hardly talk when they get shy.But some become so shy that they won't go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food.Some are afraid of meeting new people，so they seldom go outside.This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.
If shyness doesn't stop you from doing something you want to do，being shy isn't a very big problem.Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less.Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people.Some great people in history were shy，too.
You see，being shy isn't all bad.But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it!If you have to sing a song at a birthday or practice your speaking English in front of others，just do it!There's nothing to be afraid of.
（1）You may be shy in the following situations EXCEPT（除了） C .
A.making a speech in front of class
B.going to a birthday party
C.doing homework at home alone
D.being the center of attention
（2）The underlined phrase "to feel yourself again" in the Paragraph 3 means B .
A.to find yourself
B.to be yourself
C.to enjoy yourself
D.to help yourself
（3）What kind of shyness can be bad according to the passage？ C
A.You find it hard to enjoy yourself at a party.
B.You feel a little nervous when you go to a new place.
C.You hardly go outside，afraid of meeting new people.
D.You have a red face when you are asked to answer a question in class.
（4）We can infer（推断）from the passage that C .
A.kids are all born shy
B.you can't change yourself
C.shy people can also be successful
D.shy people are not good at working with others
【分析】本文讲述了害羞的含义，出现害羞的原因，坏的影响和好的影响，以及针对害羞坏的影响给出的建议。
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段的提问"How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class？What about when you go to a birthday party？Do you get really shy？ "（当你不得不在课堂上演讲时，你感觉如何？你去参加生日聚会怎么样？你真的很害羞吗？）可推测，在同学前演讲或参加生日聚会时可能会害羞，所以排除AB选项；根据第二段"…more than 80% of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention."（超过80%的中学生感到害怕成为关注的中心。）可知，成为关注的焦点时会感到害怕而害羞，排除D选项。未提及独自做作业会害羞，故选C。
（2）词义猜测题。to find oneself发现自己；to be oneself状态正常，恢复自己；to enjoy oneself过得愉快；to help oneself自助。根据上文"Shyness means feeling nervous or afraid when you're around other people."（害羞意味着当你和别人在一起时感到紧张或害怕。）可知，和别人在一起时感到紧张或害怕。因此当你到一个新地方，或者遇到陌生人时，需要一些时间恢复自己，使状态正常是可以的。故选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据第四段"Some are afraid of meeting new people，so they seldom go outside.This kind of shyness can be bad for a person."（有些人害怕结识新朋友，所以他们很少外出。这种害羞可能对一个人不利。）可知，因害怕遇见陌生人而很少出去，这种害羞对一个人来说是不好的。故选C。
（4）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段"Shy people are also good at working with others …Some great people in history were shy，too."（害羞的人也善于与他人合作……历史上的一些伟人也很害羞。）可知，害羞的人也可以成功。故选C。

13．（8分）John went to see God after he died.God looked at him，feeling very unhappy，"You've lived in this world for 60 years.Why didn't you get any result at all？"John said angrily，"My God，I couldn't become a successful person just because you didn't give me any chance（机会）.If you let that magic apple hit on my head，the man who found the law of gravity （万有引力） should be me.
God said，"OK，let's try again."
God waved（挥动）his hands and the time turned back to a few hundred years ago.God shook（摇）the apple tree for the first time，when a red apple fell and happened to drop on John's head.John picked up the apple，and ate it up quickly.God dropped another bigger apple on John's head and John ate it up once again.God shook the apple tree for the third time.When a much bigger apple fell on John's head，he threw it out，and shouted angrily，"The apple annoyed （打搅） my sweet dream!What a bad luck!"
The apple flew out and happened to fall on Newton's head.Newton picked up the apple and thought for a long time.Then he found the law of gravity at last.
The time returned once again now.
God said to John， "John，do you understand it now？"John asked，"My God，please give me another chance...I will.." God shook his head and said，"No.The chance that the apple drops on the head of everyone is the same，but each person's ability（能力）to catch the chance is different."
（1）How many times was John hit by apples？ C
A.Once.
B.Twice.
C.Three times.

（4）Which is the best title of the passage？ D
A.God's Words
B.Annoying Apples
C.John's Life
D.Lost Chances
【分析】这篇文章主要通过一个故事告诉我们：落在我们每个人身上的机会是一样的，差别就在于我们每个人把握机会的能力不同而已。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据God waved（挥动）his hands and the time turned back to a few hundred years ago.God shook（摇）the apple tree for the first time，when a red apple fell and happened to drop on John's head.John picked up the apple，and ate it up quickly.God dropped another bigger apple on John's head and John ate it up once again.God shook the apple tree for the third time.（上帝挥了挥手，时间又回到了几百年前。上帝第一次摇了摇苹果树，一个红苹果掉了下来，正好落在约翰的头上。约翰拿起苹果，很快就吃光了。上帝又把一个更大的苹果掉在约翰的头上，约翰又把它吃光了。上帝第三次摇晃苹果树。）可知约翰被苹果砸中三次。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据God dropped another bigger apple on John's head and John ate it up once again.（上帝又把一个更大的苹果掉在约翰的头上，约翰又把它吃光了。）可知是约翰马上吃掉了那个苹果。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据John asked，"My God，please give me another chance...I will.." God shook his head and said，"No.The chance that the apple drops on the head of everyone is the same，but each person's ability（能力）to catch the chance is different."（约翰问："我的上帝，请再给我一次机会……我会……"上帝摇摇头说："不，苹果落在每个人头上的机会是一样的，但每个人抓住机会的能力是不同的。"）可知他没有抓住机会．故选B。
（4）标题归纳题。根据文章可知这篇文章主要通过一个故事告诉我们：落在我们每个人身上的机会是一样的，差别就在于我们每个人把握机会的能力不同而已，故选D。

12．（8分）How do you feel when you have to sing a song in front of class？What about when you go to a birthday party？Do you get really shy？
Shyness means feelings nervous（紧张的）or afraid when you're around other people.Scientists have found that more than 80% of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention（关注）.Some kids are born shy.Some become shy later because of their life experiences（经历）.
It is OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.In fact，everybody gets a little shy sometimes.It's just a case of how much.
Most people have red faces and can hardly talk when they get shy.But some become so shy that they won't go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food.Some are afraid of meeting new people，so they seldom go outside.This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.
If shyness doesn't stop you from doing something you want to do，being shy isn't a very big problem.Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less.Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people.Some great people in history were shy，too.
You see，being shy isn't all bad.But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it!If you have to sing a song at a birthday or practice your speaking English in front of others，just do it!There's nothing to be afraid of.
（1）You may be shy in the following situations EXCEPT（除了） .
A.making a speech in front of class
B.going to a birthday party
C.doing homework at home alone
D.being the center of attention
（2）The underlined phrase "to feel yourself again" in the Paragraph 3 means .

B.You feel a little nervous when you go to a new place.
C.You hardly go outside，afraid of meeting new people.
D.You have a red face when you are asked to answer a question in class.
（4）We can infer（推断）from the passage that .
A.kids are all born shy
B.you can't change yourself
C.shy people can also be successful
D.shy people are not good at working with others

The apple flew out and happened to fall on Newton's head.Newton picked up the apple and thought for a long time.Then he found the law of gravity at last.
The time returned once again now.
God said to John， "John，do you understand it now？"John asked，"My God，please give me another chance...I will.." God shook his head and said，"No.The chance that the apple drops on the head of everyone is the same，but each person's ability（能力）to catch the chance is different."

12．（8分）How do you feel when you have to sing a song in front of class？What about when you go to a birthday party？Do you get really shy？
Shyness means feelings nervous（紧张的）or afraid when you're around other people.Scientists have found that more than 80% of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention（关注）.Some kids are born shy.Some become shy later because of their life experiences（经历）.
It is OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.In fact，everybody gets a little shy sometimes.It's just a case of how much.
Most people have red faces and can hardly talk when they get shy.But some become so shy that they won't go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food.Some are afraid of meeting new people，so they seldom go outside.This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.
If shyness doesn't stop you from doing something you want to do，being shy isn't a very big problem.Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less.Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people.Some great people in history were shy，too.
You see，being shy isn't all bad.But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it!If you have to sing a song at a birthday or practice your speaking English in front of others，just do it!There's nothing to be afraid of.
（1）You may be shy in the following situations EXCEPT（除了） C .
A.making a speech in front of class
B.going to a birthday party
C.doing homework at home alone
D.being the center of attention
（2）The underlined phrase "to feel yourself again" in the Paragraph 3 means B .
A.to find yourself
B.to be yourself
C.to enjoy yourself
D.to help yourself
（3）What kind of shyness can be bad according to the passage？ C
A.You find it hard to enjoy yourself at a party.
B.You feel a little nervous when you go to a new place.
C.You hardly go outside，afraid of meeting new people.
D.You have a red face when you are asked to answer a question in class.
（4）We can infer（推断）from the passage that C .
A.kids are all born shy
B.you can't change yourself
C.shy people can also be successful
D.shy people are not good at working with others
【分析】本文讲述了害羞的含义，出现害羞的原因，坏的影响和好的影响，以及针对害羞坏的影响给出的建议。
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段的提问"How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class？What about when you go to a birthday party？Do you get really shy？ "（当你不得不在课堂上演讲时，你感觉如何？你去参加生日聚会怎么样？你真的很害羞吗？）可推测，在同学前演讲或参加生日聚会时可能会害羞，所以排除AB选项；根据第二段"…more than 80% of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention."（超过80%的中学生感到害怕成为关注的中心。）可知，成为关注的焦点时会感到害怕而害羞，排除D选项。未提及独自做作业会害羞，故选C。
（2）词义猜测题。to find oneself发现自己；to be oneself状态正常，恢复自己；to enjoy oneself过得愉快；to help oneself自助。根据上文"Shyness means feeling nervous or afraid when you're around other people."（害羞意味着当你和别人在一起时感到紧张或害怕。）可知，和别人在一起时感到紧张或害怕。因此当你到一个新地方，或者遇到陌生人时，需要一些时间恢复自己，使状态正常是可以的。故选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据第四段"Some are afraid of meeting new people，so they seldom go outside.This kind of shyness can be bad for a person."（有些人害怕结识新朋友，所以他们很少外出。这种害羞可能对一个人不利。）可知，因害怕遇见陌生人而很少出去，这种害羞对一个人来说是不好的。故选C。
（4）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段"Shy people are also good at working with others …Some great people in history were shy，too."（害羞的人也善于与他人合作……历史上的一些伟人也很害羞。）可知，害羞的人也可以成功。故选C。
【点评】通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
13．（8分）John went to see God after he died.God looked at him，feeling very unhappy，"You've lived in this world for 60 years.Why didn't you get any result at all？"John said angrily，"My God，I couldn't become a successful person just because you didn't give me any chance（机会）.If you let that magic apple hit on my head，the man who found the law of gravity （万有引力） should be me.
God said，"OK，let's try again."
God waved（挥动）his hands and the time turned back to a few hundred years ago.God shook（摇）the apple tree for the first time，when a red apple fell and happened to drop on John's head.John picked up the apple，and ate it up quickly.God dropped another bigger apple on John's head and John ate it up once again.God shook the apple tree for the third time.When a much bigger apple fell on John's head，he threw it out，and shouted angrily，"The apple annoyed （打搅） my sweet dream!What a bad luck!"
The apple flew out and happened to fall on Newton's head.Newton picked up the apple and thought for a long time.Then he found the law of gravity at last.
The time returned once again now.
God said to John， "John，do you understand it now？"John asked，"My God，please give me another chance...I will.." God shook his head and said，"No.The chance that the apple drops on the head of everyone is the same，but each person's ability（能力）to catch the chance is different."

【分析】这篇文章主要通过一个故事告诉我们：落在我们每个人身上的机会是一样的，差别就在于我们每个人把握机会的能力不同而已。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据God waved（挥动）his hands and the time turned back to a few hundred years ago.God shook（摇）the apple tree for the first time，when a red apple fell and happened to drop on John's head.John picked up the apple，and ate it up quickly.God dropped another bigger apple on John's head and John ate it up once again.God shook the apple tree for the third time.（上帝挥了挥手，时间又回到了几百年前。上帝第一次摇了摇苹果树，一个红苹果掉了下来，正好落在约翰的头上。约翰拿起苹果，很快就吃光了。上帝又把一个更大的苹果掉在约翰的头上，约翰又把它吃光了。上帝第三次摇晃苹果树。）可知约翰被苹果砸中三次。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据God dropped another bigger apple on John's head and John ate it up once again.（上帝又把一个更大的苹果掉在约翰的头上，约翰又把它吃光了。）可知是约翰马上吃掉了那个苹果。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据John asked，"My God，please give me another chance...I will.." God shook his head and said，"No.The chance that the apple drops on the head of everyone is the same，but each person's ability（能力）to catch the chance is different."（约翰问："我的上帝，请再给我一次机会……我会……"上帝摇摇头说："不，苹果落在每个人头上的机会是一样的，但每个人抓住机会的能力是不同的。"）可知他没有抓住机会．故选B。
（4）标题归纳题。根据文章可知这篇文章主要通过一个故事告诉我们：落在我们每个人身上的机会是一样的，差别就在于我们每个人把握机会的能力不同而已，故选D。
