As Robert Frost reminded us,choices are often difficult and will bring both a gain and a loss.Should I spend my Sunday playing golf or taking a day trip to the North Fork with my wife? If you are a golfer as I am,you will say “Certainly,go playing golf.”Golf is perhaps the greatest challenge to self-improvement.In golf,every swing is counted and can easily be recalled and reviewed by the golfers as they lie in bed that evening,and therefore,self- improvement is pursued. Now let us return to the question at hand. 73 高中英语选择性必修第一册（外研版） You will not be surprised to hear that I did in fact go to the North Fork.But,how has that improved me??Can this be quantified(量化)？ In golf,whose goal is to complete the game with as few shots as possible,if I average 80 and I shoot a 76,I know that for that day at least I have improved upon my former self and thus feel satisfied. You may argue that travel is not about self-improvement at all but just about having grand experiences.I beg to differ.It does matter how these things change and improve me.Seeing the folks dancing in the streets should change you.And talking to the manager of the biscuit shop,ought to change you.I think travel does change us,but it's very hard to say just how.How does one quantify buying a peach at a farm?Or how do you quantify the tasty taste of the scones(司康 饼)at a stand? Reviewers have had a hard time analyzing the meaning of Robert Frost's poem.To be honest,I would say all of us have a hard time analyzing our wish to travel to faraway places. I am not sure what the answer is to this tricky question.I may not have made any hole-in- ones on the North Fork but I did enjoy those scones 24.Why does the author quote the poem? A.To express the meaning of life. B.To explain the challenges the poet met. C.To show the impact of choices. D.To introduce the general views to (74 choices. 25.What does the author think of playing golf? A.Its result is measurable B.It is the most challenging sport. C.It leads to self-satisfaction. D.It shows the potential for both gain and loss. 26.What is the author's attitude towards his decision of going to the North Fork? A.Regretful. B.Unclear. C.Content. D.Doubtful. 27.Which of the following proverb will the author agree with? A.Rome wasn't built in a day. B.Every path has its own scenery C.Actions speak louder than words. D.You can't judge a book by its cover. C Chicago's Lyric Opera is aiming to make its performances more accessible via the SoundShirt. In October,Lyric became the first opera company to offer the shirts to audience mem- bers who are deaf or hard of hearing.The device comes from a London-based wearable tech brand called CuteCircuit.Each shirt costs about $1,900,but interested audience members can reserve one for special performances at $20 a ticket. Those who opt to use the shirts will sit in seats with a view of both the conductor and Lyric's sign language interpreter. The SoundShirt is worn like a lightweight jacket and features 16 small motors throughout. Microphones are placed around the orchestra on stage to record specific instruments and send a live signal to start vibrations（振动) in the shoulders,forearms and upper and lower back. Rachel Arfa,commissioner of New York City's Mayor's Office for People with Disabi- lities,recently tested the SoundShirt at a production of West Side Story "When Lyric approached me with this shirt,I was highly skeptical,"she tells The Washington Post."There are often technical solutions designed by people without disabili- ties for people with disabilities that do not solve barriers that we have." The technology certainly isn't for every- one.The Chicago Sun-Times'Stefano Esposito says wearing a SoundShirt feels like "your body has become home to an entire hive 巢）of non-stinging bees.” “It's not an unpleasant sensation,”he writes,“just odd,very odd.” But for Arfa,the shirt exceeded expecta- tions."At live theater,it is difficult for me to discriminate between different sounds,so I rely on access provided for equal access,"she tells The Washington Post."I began to understand that the motors on the SoundShirt vibrated in conjunction with(与…一起) the orchestra sounds...I am not able to hear this sound,but I could feel it.It was such a Final test (2) surprise and a thrill." Tina Childress,an audiologist and advo- cate for accessibility in the arts,is excited by the variety of accessibility services now availa- ble to hard-of-hearing theatergoers."It's important to remember that you can use two or three of these choices at the same time," she tells The Washington Post after testing the shirt."With the SoundShirt,having that tactile (触觉的)feedback for what I don't hear was instrumental in me enjoying the performance." 28.What can we learn about the SoundShirt? A.It looks like a common T-shirt. B.It is created by Chicago's Lyric Opera. C.It is too expensive for people to try on. D.It is popularized by Chicago's Lyric Opera. 29.How does the SoundShirt work? A.By stimulating users'brains. B.By changing sounds into touches. C.By interpreting music as visual images. D.By linking users'bodies with instru- ments directly. 30.What's Stefano's opinion on wearing the SoundShirt? A.Useful. B.Strange. C.Innovative. D.Unpleasant. 31.What does the underlined word "discrimi- nate"mean in Paragraph 9? A.Feel. B.Distinguish. C.Transmit. D.Choose. D Noninstrumental information seeking,dri- 75 高中英语选择性必修第一册（外研版） ven by curiosity,is common in daily life. Previous studies suggest that aging may reduce overall information-seeking behavior and curiosity.However,few studies have examined whether the type of information sought changes with age.Greta Fastrich investigates whether adults exhibit different information- seeking behaviors-specifically,diversive (exploring new topics)or specific (deepening knowledge on familiar topics）一as they age. The study involved 498 participants aged 12 to 79,who selected one of the provided topics.Participants were then presented with short factual statements,followed by options to either learn more about the same topic (specific information seeking)or switch to a new topic diversive information seeking). They could read up to 10 facts for each topic and up to 80 facts in total across multiple topics.The facts were presented in a random order,and the participants could spend as much time as they wished reading each fact and making their choices.Data were collected on how many facts each participant read, whether they chose to continue reading within a topic or switch,and their self-reported curiosity in the material. The results revealed significant age- related differences in information-seeking strategies.Older participants read more facts per topic,showing a clear preference for deepening their knowledge rather than broadening it.In contrast,younger participants 76 exhibited more diversive information seeking, frequently switching between topics to explore a wider range of material.For each additional year in age,participants were slightly more likely to stay within a topic and less likely to explore a new one. Additionally,the researchers found that participants'self-reported curiosity were related to their information-seeking choices. Participants who rated themselves as more interested in a fact were more likely to continue within the same topic. This has implications for how new information should be communicated to different age groups in order to best support motivated learning.This consideration has a vast range of potential applications,from educational course design to museum exhibit arrangements to the provision of health information. 32.Greta's research focuses on age's impact on A.information processing B.information distribution C.information-seeking tendency D.information-seeking techniques 33.What were participants required to do in the study? A.Provide detailed data on a topic. B.Maintain their interest in reading. C.Raise topics they want to explore. D.Read information on certain topics. 34.Which best describes the age-related shift in information-seeking behavior? A.Gradual and steady. B.Random and frequent. C.Substantial but temporary D.Unpredictable but measurable. 35.What insight does this study provide? A.Older people need slower information delivery. B.Information should be tailored for dif- ferent ages. C.Younger adults benefit from in-depth information. D.Information should be accessible to people of all ages. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分)》 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出 可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 For over 25 years,on the first Sunday in May,thousands of people from more than 120 countries get together.36. People from "laughter clubs"across the planet invite their friends and family members to join them, usually in public spaces. The very first World Laughter Day took place in 1998 in a park in the city of Mumbai, India.It was organised by Dr.Madan Kataria who did a lot of research on laughter.He believed that laughter supports our physical and mental(心理的)well-being.37. As long as the laughter is deep,it doesn't matter.After continuing attending a "laughter Final test(②）o club",you begin to feel the physical and mental benefits. 38. Physically,the act of laugh- ter includes deep breathing.The oxygen flow throughout our body is increased,and when we breathe out,the "old"air in our lungs (is set free.Therefore,deep laughter keeps the lungs healthy and provides oxygen for our body.39. Deep laughter may also help with the recovery(康复)from serious illness.Norman Cousins,a famous writer,certainly believed this.In his late forties,Cousins suffered from a serious illness and was told he would not live long.40. From then on and for months,.Cousins watched comedy(喜剧) films that made him laugh out loud.Amazingly, within six months he was up and about,and within two years back at work.If laughter helps us in some ways,then let's keep doing it. A.Deep laughter benefits us physically and mentally B.They hold parties to celebrate World Laughter Day. C.He decided to stop taking the medicine for sleeping. D.One very large“laughter event'”took place in the year 2000. E.However,Cousins thought positive events could help him get better. F.There is no difference between false laughter and real laughter for the body. 高中英语选择性必修第一册（外研版） G.Mentally,with deep laughter we feel more positive about life and deal with difficult situations more calmly. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）》 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选项。 While taking a 20-hour train ride along the edge of the Taklimakan Desert in the northwestern China,I had the kind of humbling,educational,and above all else, wonderful 41 with a local that all travelers long for.A young Chinese man 42 me on the train.My 43 friend spoke virtually no English,so I happily took the 44 to practice my Chinese.

We had little money and few goods,but plenty of love and attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was,he could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen,I could throw a ninety-mile-per- hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis,who not only believed in me,but often told me “Dream is priceless'”.However,when I was about to get off the ground,one particular incident happened,which almost ruined my long-held dream. It was the summer holiday in Senior Two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered $12.25 per hour.Compared with the average $3.5,that was a big sum.I was so excited,because this meant a chance for money in my pocket,certainly money for a new bike and new clothes,and the start of savings for a house for my mother.The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting,and I wanted to jump at the opportunity. Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn't dare to tell my coach.I 80 thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage,"If you make your bed,you have to lie in it."I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all,my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右。 (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.

Bolt,the Jamaican runner,is widely recognized as the world's fastest man.He ran the 100 metres in a record 9.58 seconds in 2009 and has held the world record for nearly a decade.He has eight Olympic gold medals in all. Owens was then a hero before World War II.He won the 100 metres with a time of 10.3 seconds in the 1936 Berlin Olympics and he claimed four gold medals in this Olympic Games. It seems that Bolt ran a bit faster than Owens.But don't forget Bolt is wearing lightweight shoes while Owens was wearing leather running shoes and running on a soft surface that stole energy from his legs as he ran.Besides, Bolt has received the finest training the world has ever seen.He has his own cook,who makes him healthy meals. On the contrary,to get to Berlin,Owens and the other US athletes spent several days crossing the Atlantic on an ocean ship We must realize that training,clothing,and equipment have helped athletes become faster,stronger.But re- searchers believe we have not yet reached the limits of hu- man possibility 第二部分阅读（共20题，每小题2.5分，满分 50分) 第二节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 21~25 ACBCA 26~30 CBDBB 31~35 BCDAB
