七选五：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。
How
long
does
a
year
last?
1
But
your
parents
might
say
that
a
whole
year
can
pass
“in
the
blink
of
an
eye”.
Why
does
time
seem
to
pass
faster
as
we
get
older?
2.
This
physical
change
causes
the
rate
at
which
we
take
in
and
process
new
information
to
decline.
Babies,
for
example,
move
their
eyes
much
more
often
than
adults
because
they’re
processing
images
at
a
faster
rate.
They
take
in
a
lot
of
information
and
do
many
things
in
a
single
day.
3
.
However,
as
people’s
brains
degrade
over
time,
fewer
images
are
processed
in
the
same
amount
of
time.
Therefore,
older
people
receive
less
information
during
a
day
than
younger
people.
This
causes
things
to
seem
as
though
they’re
happening
more
quickly.
4
People
may
measure
time
by
the
number
of
memorable
events
that
can
be
recalled
within
a
certain
period.
Have
you
ever
noticed
that
when
you
recall
your
firsts
(first
day
of
school,
first
family
vacation,
first
birthday
party,
etc.),
they
seem
to
be
in
slow
motion?
That’s
because
when
something
is
a
“first”,
there
are
many
exciting
things
to
remember.
Recalling
these
memories
makes
you
feel
like
they
took
forever.
For
many
adults,
life
is
routine.
When
they
look
back,
they
might
feel
like
there
are
not
many
novel
(新奇的)
things
to
remember.
5
A.
Children
might
say
that
a
year
lasts
forever.
B.
Therefore,
time
seems
to
be
moving
faster
to
them.
C.
Different
people
have
different
feelings
toward
time.
D.
This
makes
them
feel
like
a
single
day
lasts
for
a
long
time.
E.As
we
grow
older,
we
become
less
interested
in
new
things.
F.According
to
scientists,
our
brains
degrade
and
change
over
time.
G.In
addition,
people
may
also
“feel”
time
differently
due
to
psychological
reasons.

完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选。
More
than
anything
else
in
the
world,
Jayden
Hairston
wanted
to
learn
how
to
sing.
1
,
his
elementary
school
in
Yonkers
didn't
2
the
music
instruction
he
needed.
So
he
begged
his
parents
to
sign
him
up
for
after-school
lessons.
His
mother
said,
''Ever
since
I
could
3
,
he
has
been
singing
and
dancing
for
the
family.
''
She
wanted
to
help
her
son
to
do
whatever
he
loved,
but
private
lessons
were
too
4
for
the
family
where
there
was
only
one
breadwinner.
Then
Jayden
began
researching
after-school
arts
5
on
the
Internet.
Luckily,
he
soon
6
the
website
of
Harlem
School
of
the
Arts
(HSA)
in
New
York
City.
There,
he
could
7
singing
and
dancing
lessons.
It
was
a
bit
far
from
Yonkers.
But
he
8
his
parents
to
take
him
for
a
visit.
That
was
three
years
ago.
Now
Jayden
is
one
of
HSA’s
most
9
students.
He
takes
singing,
dancing,
or
theater
lessons
almost
every
day
after
school.
Last
year,
he
performed
in
seven
productions.
''When
I'm
at
HSA,
I
don't
want
to
leave,
''
he
says.
''It's
made
me
more
10
.
I
feel
better
about
myself,
''
Jayden
says.
Like
Jayden,
many
poor
students
across
the
United
States
have
11
access
to
arts
instruction
in
schools.
HSA
is
one
of
many
nonprofit
groups
that
12
this
gap
(缺口)
by
offering
cheaper
online
arts
classes
which
most
families
can
13
.
These
groups
are
usually
funded
by
donations.
A
Harvard
University
study
found
that
arts
instruction
does
not
straightly
raise
students'
14
in
math
and
English.
However,
that
doesn’t
mean
arts
education
isn’t
15
.
Arts
train
a
set
of
thinking
skills
16
those
measured
by
test
scores.
It
can
also
offer
another
17
for
children
who
may
not
18
good
scores
in
such
exams.
Without
it,
students
might
never
19
their
strengths
and
possibly
their
future
occupations.
Jayden
Hairston
knows
this
firsthand.
He
says
Harlem
School
of
the
Arts
has

to
go
after
his
professional

More
than
anything
else
in
the
world,
Jayden
Hairston
wanted
to
learn
how
to
sing.
1
,
his
elementary
school
in
Yonkers
didn't
2
the
music
instruction
he
needed.
So
he
begged
his
parents
to
sign
him
up
for
after-school
lessons.
His
mother
said,
''Ever
since
I
could
3
,
he
has
been
singing
and
dancing
for
the
family.
''
She
wanted
to
help
her
son
to
do
whatever
he
loved,
but
private
lessons
were
too
4
for
the
family
where
there
was
only
one
breadwinner.
Then
Jayden
began
researching
after-school
arts
5
on
the
Internet.
Luckily,
he
soon
6
the
website
of
Harlem
School
of
the
Arts
(HSA)
in
New
York
City.
There,
he
could
7
singing
and
dancing
lessons.
It
was
a
bit
far
from
Yonkers.
But
he
8
his
parents
to
take
him
for
a
visit.
That
was
three
years
ago.
Now
Jayden
is
one
of
HSA’s
most
9
students.
He
takes
singing,
dancing,
or
theater
lessons
almost
every
day
after
school.
Last
year,
he
performed
in
seven
productions.
''When
I'm
at
HSA,
I
don't
want
to
leave,
''
he
says.
''It's
made
me
more
10
.
I
feel
better
about
myself,
''
Jayden
says.
Like
Jayden,
many
poor
students
across
the
United
States
have
11
access
to
arts
instruction
in
schools.
HSA
is
one
of
many
nonprofit
groups
that
12
this
gap
(缺口)
by
offering
cheaper
online
arts
classes
which
most
families
can
13
.
These
groups
are
usually
funded
by
donations.
A
Harvard
University
study
found
that
arts
instruction
does
not
straightly
raise
students'
14
in
math
and
English.
However,
that
doesn’t
mean
arts
education
isn’t
15
.
Arts
train
a
set
of
thinking
skills
16
those
measured
by
test
scores.
It
can
also
offer
another
17
for
children
who
may
not
18
good
scores
in
such
exams.
Without
it,
students
might
never
19
their
strengths
and
possibly
their
future
occupations.
Jayden
Hairston
knows
this
firsthand.
He
says
Harlem
School
of
the
Arts
has
20
him
to
go
after
his
professional
goals.

【解析】本文主要讲述了Jayden
Hairston因为在学校得不到他自己所需要的艺术指导，因此在征得父母的允许下他选择了一家非盈利的艺术培训学校。文章指出，艺术课程虽然不能直接提高学生的分数，但是可以培养学生其他方面的思维技能，让学生看到自己长处，也可以为学生提供另外的职业方向。
