2025年高中英语选修一外研版课文改编题 （阅读理解、完形填空、正确形式填空） Unit 2-1 We regret to inform you 一、阅读理解（共5题） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 "We regret to inform you..." These are the words that every writer dreads receiving, but words every writer knows well. The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence. You may have spent years giving up your weekends and free time to write your life's work, yet still this is often not enough. Everyone knows that success rarely happens overnight, but perhaps not many know that a lot of highly successful writers have previously faced rejection. Take for example J.K. Rowling. When she received her first rejection letter, she decided that it meant she now had something in common with her favourite writers, and stuck it on her kitchen wall. Rowling had spent years surviving on little money, spending all her time writing. When she finally finished her first book, she received comments from publishers along the lines of"too difficult for children", "too long", "Children would not be interested in it". Nevertheless, she persevered. "I wasn't going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen," she later posted. After a total of twelve rejections, one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book, and as we know, Harry Potter became a global success, with over 400 million books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages. All too often writers of great works have had to face criticism along with rejection. J.D. Salinger started writing short stories in high school, but later struggled to get his works published. "We feel that we don't know the central character well enough" was the criticism he received on his manuscript for The Catcher in the Rye. Despite rejections from several publishers, J.D. Salinger refused to give up. Even when serving in the US Army during the Second World War, he carried six chapters of The Catcher in the Rye with him and worked on the novel throughout his war service. When it was eventually published, the book became an immediate best-seller and went on to sell millions and millions of copies. Perhaps the overall prize for perseverance should go to three sisters from Victorian England who dreamed of seeing their words in print. This, however, was a time when women were not encouraged to become writers. As the then Poet Laureate, Robert Southey, wrote to one of them: "Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life, and it ought not to be." Nevertheless, the sisters didn't stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. Even when the book sold only two copies, the sisters still didn't give up. They started writing novels, and today Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey are regarded as classics of world literature. In fact, it is within the pages of Jane Eyre that we can find these words: "honour endurance, perseverance, industry, talent; because these are the means by which men achieve great ends..." So, it seems that talent alone isn't enough to guarantee success. While a lot of hard work and a touch of luck play a part, perseverance is the key. Keep trying and eventually you will read the words "We are delighted to inform you..." 1. What do writers feel when they receive the sentence "We regret to inform you..."? A. Excited B. Disappointed C. Delighted D. Surprised 2. Why did J.K. Rowling stick her first rejection letter on the kitchen wall? A. To remind herself of her failure. B. To show it to her family and friends. C. To feel she shared something with her favorite writers. D. To encourage other writers not to give up. 3. What criticism did J.D. Salinger receive on The Catcher in the Rye? A. It was too long for readers. B. The central character was not well-developed. C. It was not suitable for young people. D. The writing style was too difficult to understand. 4. How did the Brontë sisters deal with the prejudice against women writers? A. They gave up writing and did other jobs. B. They wrote under male pen names. C. They asked Robert Southey for help. D. They only published their works abroad. 5. What is the main message of the passage? A. Successful writers all have poor childhoods. B. Rejection is common for all writers. C. Perseverance is the key to success for writers. D. Luck plays the most important role in a writer's success. 二、完形填空（共15题） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。 "We regret to inform you..."

Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound. Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently, I asked a friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods what she had observed. "Nothing in particular," she replied. How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes, say for just three days. On the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living. I do not know what it is to see into the heart of a friend through that "window of the soul",the eye. I can only "see" through my fingertips the outline of a face.I should like to see the books which have been read to me,and which have revealed to me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit. In the afternoon I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate my eyes on the beauties of the world of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep. On my second day, I should like to see the pageant of man's progress, and I should go to the museums. I should try to probe into the soul of man through his art. The things I knew through touch I should now see. The evening of my second day I should spend at a theater or at the movies. The following morning, I should again greet the dawn, anxious to discover new delights, new revelations of beauty. Today I shall spend in the workaday world, amid the haunts of men going about the business of life. At midnight permanent night would close in on me again. Only when darkness had again descended upon me should I realize how much I had left unseen. I who am blind can give one hint to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. And the same method can be applied to the other senses, Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow. Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail. Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again. But of all the senses,I am sure that sight must be the most delightful. 1. What does Helen Keller think would be a "blessing" for people? A. Being able to see and hear clearly for a lifetime. B. Losing sight and hearing for a few days in early adulthood. C. Traveling in the woods to enjoy nature's beauty. D. Learning to appreciate life through touch. 2. Why was Helen Keller surprised by her friend's reply? A. Her friend didn't enjoy the walk in the woods. B. Her friend saw nothing special during the walk. C. Her friend couldn't describe the woods clearly. D. Her friend didn't notice the books she recommended. 3. What would Helen Keller most want to see on the first day? A. Works of art in museums. B. The daily life of ordinary people. C. People who have enriched her life. D. The performance in a theater. 4. What does Helen Keller advise people with sight to do? A. Visit museums often to learn about human progress. B. Spend more time walking in the woods to enjoy nature. C. Use their eyes as if they would go blind the next day. D. Practice touching objects to feel their beauty. 5. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To share Helen Keller's dream of seeing the world. B. To encourage people to cherish and use their senses. C. To explain how blind people perceive the world through touch. D. To describe the three days Helen Keller wants to see most. 二、完形填空（共15题） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。 I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life.
