B Joanne Kathleen Rowling entered the world in Chipping Sudbury General Hospital in England, a fitting beginning for someone who would later enjoy making up strange names for people, places and games played on flying broomsticks (扫帚). Many of her favorite memories center around reading — hearing stories read aloud by her father when she had the measles (麻疹), enjoying the fantastic adventure stories, reveling in the magical world and her favorite story of all, The Little White Horse. Rowling remembers that she always wanted to write and that the first story she actually wrote down, when she was five or six, was a story about a rabbit called Rabbit. After college she moved to London to work for Amnesty International as a researcher and bilingual secretary. The best thing about working in an office, she has said, was typing up stories on the computer when no one was watching. During this time, on a particularly long train ride from Manchester to London in the summer of 1990, the idea of a boy who is a wizard (男巫) came to her. He attends a school for wizardry — she could see him very plainly in her mind. By the time the train pulled into King’s Cross Station four hours later, many of the characters and the early stages of the plot were fully formed in her head. The story took further shape as she continued working on it in pubs and cafes over her lunch hours. In 1992 Rowling left off working in offices and moved to Portugal to teach English as a Second Language. She worked afternoons and evenings, leaving mornings free for writing. After her marriage to a Portuguese TV journalist ended in divorce, Rowling returned to Britain with her infant daughter and a suitcase full of Harry Potter notes and chapters. She settled in Edinburgh to be near her sister and set out to finish the book before looking for a teaching job. Wheeling her daughter’s carriage around the city to escape their tiny, cold apartment, she would duck into coffee shops to write when the baby fell asleep. In this way she finished the book and started sending it to publishers. It was rejected several times before she found an London agent, chosen because she liked his name — Christopher Little, who sold the manuscript to Bloomsbury Children’s Books. Rowling was working as a French teacher when she heard that her book about the boy wizard had been accepted for publication. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was published in June 1997 and achieved almost instant success. 24. What can we learn about JK Rowling in the first two paragraph? A. She could actually fly with broomsticks. B. She showed great interests in story when she was a child. C. She liked story-telling because of her father. D. She got a white horse when she was a child. 25. We can infer from paragraph 4 that____. A. JK Rowling made up the the character “ boy wizard” in pubs B. JK Rowling often wrote her book during lunchtime C. JK Rowling could speak Portuguese very well D. JK Rowling had to work till late night 26. Which words can best describe Rowling? A. Enthusiastic and generous. B. Brave and calm. C Imaginary and persistent. D. Kind and sensible. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. JK Rowling and her family B. JK Rowling and her book Harry Potter C. JK Rowling’s working experience abroad D. JK Rowling’s life abroad C After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US, which consisted of brain scans from four participant as they each viewed a set of 1,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data: when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then , it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thought and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 28. What makes Stable Diffusion different from previous AI models? A. It can turn text into images. B. It can reproduce images based on human’s brain scans. C. It can learn from a large amount of date. D. It assist people recollect their previous memory. 29. How did the researchers test the AI if it can recreate image? A. On additional brain scans from the same participants when they saw photos. B. They analyzed changes in blood flow. C. They used functional magnetic resonance imaging. D. They analyzed the date. 30. What is the meaning of “decipher” in the last paragraph? A. Know about. B. Break down. C. Take over. D. Become ill. 31. Which can be the best title of this passage? A. A new study. B. Artificial Intelligence. C Functional magnetic resonance imaging. D. Visualizing our dreams. D The new reported by Coltura offers one of the most detailed pictures yet of Americans’ driving habits and gasoline consumption. The study analyzed GPS data from millions of vehicles and Census Bureau surveys. It builds on earlier reports the group has issued, including a detailed study of high-mileage drivers in California. Here are some of the findings: around 21 million Americans account for 35 percent of the nation’s gasoline use from private light-duty vehicles; that’s cars, pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans and minivans. That’s more gasoline than is burned each year in Brazil, Canada and Russai combined. These drivers are more likely to live in rural areas and small towns, drive an average of 116 miles per weekday and own vehicles that are larger and less fuel-efficient. “If we want electric vehicles to have the greatest impact, we need to get the highest-mileage drivers behind the wheel,” said John Helveston, an assistant professor of engineering at The George Washington University. Helveston is an author of a recent study finding that electric vehicles were driven less than gasoline cars. Recently , lawmakers in California, Maryland, Vermont and Washington have proposed policies to encourage high-mileage drivers to go electric. “We are at the point where we need to start targeting our electric vehicle policies toward the people who are harder to reach” said Phil Ting. In its latest climate action plan, the state of Maryland proposed an electric vehicle rebate worth up to $5,000 for people who drive long distance. The program, which is not finalized, would require applicants to trade in their older cars and show that they previously had used at least 800 gallons of gasoline per year. Burlington Electric Department, a Vermont utility, will soon test an incentive worth up to $500 aimed at helping high-mileage drivers go electric. It the program works, it could be expanded. 32. Which of the following statement is incorrect about the study in paragraph 2? A. These drivers are more probably live in rural areas and small towns. B. The consumption of gasoline is higher than Brazil’s. C. Less fuel-efficient vehicles may be the reason of high consumption of gasoline. D. Americans’ gasoline use from private car is very low. 33. What can we learn from John Helveston’ s words? A. Highest-mileage drivers are encouraged to use electric vehicles. B. Electric vehicles don’t consume gasoline. C. People are forced to use electric vehicles. D. Electric vehicles have a number of advantages. 34. What might the passage talk about in the following paragraphs? A. The measures of Burlington Electric Department’s incentive. B. The construction of Burlington Electric Department. C. Some programs about electric vehicles. D. Some details about a Vermont utility. 35. Where does the text probably come from? A. A science magazine. B. A research plan. C A economy magazine. D. A story book. 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。 Mastering time management is a crucial skill that can enhance productivity and reduce stress, especially for beginners.

To take care of her, her grandfather decided to start over. He learned to cook, clean the house, do the laundry, and take care of her when she was sick. But influenced by her parents’ divorce, Adela was always rebellious. At school, her grades were always at the bottom and she also had a very bad relationship with her teacher.

She always closed the door and never volunteered to help grandpa with housework. In spite of this, grandfather had always been tolerant of her and never got angry with her. This day, was Adela’s good friend Edmund’s birthday. She told her grandfather coldly before going out, “Today is Edmund’s birthday, and he invites me to his birthday party. I won’t be at home for dinner tonight.” The grandfather smiled and nodded and told her to bring Edmund a present. Time flew, and night come quietly. After dinner, grandfather sat in the living room watching TV, but his sight always glanced at the clock on the wall. Once or twice, he do not know how long it was. The clock on the wall was still two minutes away at twelve, and the silk outside the door was not moving at all. Worried and anxious, grandfather began to pace back and forth in the living room. As if for grandfather’s mood, there was a sudden burst of thunder outside, indicating a heavy rain. Thinking that his granddaughter did not have an umbrella, he wrapped himself in a raincoat, took an umbrella, and hurried out to Edmund’s house. There were very few people in the street due to the bad weather. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Through the heavy rain, Adela dimly saw a familiar figure. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年度第二学期0710期末质量检测试题 高二年级 科目 英语 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man think of the Summer House?

Many of her favorite memories center around reading — hearing stories read aloud by her father when she had the measles (麻疹), enjoying the fantastic adventure stories, reveling in the magical world and her favorite story of all, The Little White Horse. Rowling remembers that she always wanted to write and that the first story she actually wrote down, when she was five or six, was a story about a rabbit called Rabbit. After college she moved to London to work for Amnesty International as a researcher and bilingual secretary. The best thing about working in an office, she has said, was typing up stories on the computer when no one was watching. During this time, on a particularly long train ride from Manchester to London in the summer of 1990, the idea of a boy who is a wizard (男巫) came to her. He attends a school for wizardry — she could see him very plainly in her mind. By the time the train pulled into King’s Cross Station four hours later, many of the characters and the early stages of the plot were fully formed in her head. The story took further shape as she continued working on it in pubs and cafes over her lunch hours. In 1992 Rowling left off working in offices and moved to Portugal to teach English as a Second Language. She worked afternoons and evenings, leaving mornings free for writing. After her marriage to a Portuguese TV journalist ended in divorce, Rowling returned to Britain with her infant daughter and a suitcase full of Harry Potter notes and chapters. She settled in Edinburgh to be near her sister and set out to finish the book before looking for a teaching job. Wheeling her daughter’s carriage around the city to escape their tiny, cold apartment, she would duck into coffee shops to write when the baby fell asleep. In this way she finished the book and started sending it to publishers. It was rejected several times before she found an London agent, chosen because she liked his name — Christopher Little, who sold the manuscript to Bloomsbury Children’s Books. Rowling was working as a French teacher when she heard that her book about the boy wizard had been accepted for publication. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was published in June 1997 and achieved almost instant success. 24. What can we learn about JK Rowling in the first two paragraph? A. She could actually fly with broomsticks. B. She showed great interests in story when she was a child. C. She liked story-telling because of her father. D She got a white horse when she was a child. 25. We can infer from paragraph 4 that____. A. JK Rowling made up the the character “ boy wizard” in pubs B. JK Rowling often wrote her book during lunchtime C. JK Rowling could speak Portuguese very well D. JK Rowling had to work till late night 26. Which words can best describe Rowling? A. Enthusiastic and generous. B. Brave and calm. C Imaginary and persistent. D. Kind and sensible. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. JK Rowling and her family B. JK Rowling and her book Harry Potter C. JK Rowling’s working experience abroad D. JK Rowling’s life abroad 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了J.K.罗琳的生活经历和她创作《哈利·波特》系列书籍的过程。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Rowling remembers that she always wanted to write and that the first story she actually wrote down, when she was five or six, was a story about a rabbit called Rabbit.(罗琳回忆说，她一直想写作，而且她真正写下来的第一篇故事是关于一只兔子的，当她五六岁的时候)”可知，罗琳从小就对讲故事感兴趣，五、六岁时就写下了第一个故事，故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The story took further shape as she continued working on it in pubs and cafes over her lunch hours(她利用午休时间在酒吧和咖啡馆里继续创作，故事的轮廓逐渐清晰起来)”可知，罗琳经常在午餐时间在酒吧和咖啡馆写作，故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“During this time, on a particularly long train ride from Manchester to London in the summer of 1990, the idea of a boy who is a wizard (男巫) came to her. (在这段时间里，1990年夏天，从曼彻斯特到伦敦的一段特别漫长的火车旅行中，一个关于男巫男孩的想法浮现在她的脑海中)”和第四段“He attends a school for wizardry — she could see him very plainly in her mind.(他就读于一所男巫学校——她在脑海中非常清晰地看到了他)”可知，罗琳在火车上构思出了一个男巫的形象，并为他设想了一所巫术学校，说明她富有想象力；根据第五段“After her marriage to a Portuguese TV journalist ended in divorce, Rowling returned to Britain with her infant daughter and a suitcase full of Harry Potter notes and chapters. She settled in Edinburgh to be near her sister and set out to finish the book before looking for a teaching job.(在与一位葡萄牙电视记者的婚姻以离婚告终后，罗琳带着她的婴儿女儿和一个装满《哈利·波特》笔记和章节的行李箱回到了英国。她在爱丁堡定居，以便靠近她的姐姐，并开始着手完成这本书，然后再寻找教职工作)”可知，罗琳离婚后带着女儿和哈利波特的笔记回到英国，在找到教师工作之前，她坚持完成了这本书，说明她坚持不懈，故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Joanne Kathleen Rowling entered the world in Chipping Sudbury General Hospital in England, a fitting beginning for someone who would later enjoy making up strange names for people, places and games played on flying broomsticks (扫帚).(乔安妮·凯瑟琳·罗琳在英格兰奇平索德伯里综合医院出生，对于一个后来会喜欢为人物、地点和飞行扫帚上的游戏编造奇怪名字的人来说，这是一个合适的开始)”、第三段“During this time, on a particularly long train ride from Manchester to London in the summer of 1990, the idea of a boy who is a wizard (男巫) came to her. (在这段时间里，1990年夏天，从曼彻斯特到伦敦的一段特别漫长的火车旅行中，一个关于男巫男孩的想法浮现在她的脑海中)”、第四段“He attends a school for wizardry — she could see him very plainly in her mind.(他就读于一所男巫学校——她在脑海中非常清晰地看到了他)”以及最后一段“It was rejected several times before she found an London agent, chosen because she liked his name — Christopher Little, who sold the manuscript to Bloomsbury Children's Books. Rowling was working as a French teacher when she heard that her book about the boy wizard had been accepted for publication. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was published in June 1997 and achieved almost instant success.( 在她找到一位伦敦经纪人之前，她的作品被拒绝了好几次，之所以选择他是因为喜欢这个名字——克里斯托弗·利特尔，他将手稿卖给了布卢姆斯伯里儿童图书公司。罗琳当时是一名法语老师，当她听说关于那位少年巫师的书被接受出版时。1997年6月出版的《哈利波特与魔法石》几乎立刻获得了巨大成功)”可知，文章主要介绍了《哈利·波特》的作者J.K.罗琳的生平以及创作过程，故选B。 C After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US, which consisted of brain scans from four participant as they each viewed a set of 1,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data: when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then , it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thought and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 28. What makes Stable Diffusion different from previous AI models? A. It can turn text into images. B. It can reproduce images based on human’s brain scans. C. It can learn from a large amount of date. D. It assist people recollect their previous memory. 29. How did the researchers test the AI if it can recreate image? A. On additional brain scans from the same participants when they saw photos. B. They analyzed changes in blood flow. C. They used functional magnetic resonance imaging. D. They analyzed the date. 30. What is the meaning of “decipher” in the last paragraph? A. Know about. B. Break down. C. Take over. D. Become ill. 31. Which can be the best title of this passage? A. A new study. B. Artificial Intelligence. C. Functional magnetic resonance imaging. D. Visualizing our dreams. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了一个名为“Stable Diffusion”的人工智能系统，该系统可以根据人们的脑部扫描结果重建图像。未来可能用于记录想象的思想和梦想，或者让人们了解其他动物对现实的感知有何不同。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This time,  researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans”（这次，日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为Stable Diffusion的AI系统，该系统可以根据人的大脑扫描重建图像）可知，Stable Diffusion与以前的AI模型不同之处在于，它可以根据人的大脑扫描重建图像。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train.”（最后，研究人员在同一参与者观看玩具熊、飞机、时钟和火车的照片时，对AI进行了额外的大脑扫描测试。）可知，研究人员通过在同一参与者观看照片时对AI进行额外的大脑扫描测试，来测试AI是否可以重建图像。故选A。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段中“The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data: when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. ”（这些扫描是通过功能性磁共振成像 (fMRI) 记录的。然后，人工智能通过分析 fMRI 数据显示的血流变化来了解大脑活动：当大脑的某个部分被激活时，更多的血液会流向该部分。然后，它将大脑活动与照片进行匹配。）和划线单词所在句子“The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher the brain””（这项新研究创造了一种结合文本和图像来“decipher大脑”的新方法）可知，这项新研究了解了大脑活动，由此可知，这项研究创造了一种结合文本和图像来“了解大脑”的新方法。所以“decipher”在这里的意思是“了解”。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第二段“This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine.”（日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为Stable Diffusion的AI系统，该系统可以根据人的大脑扫描重建图像）和根据文章最后一段“In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thought and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality.”（在未来，科学家希望这项技术可以用来记录想象的思想和梦想，或者让人们了解其他动物对现实的感知有何不同。）可知，文章主要讲述了日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为Stable Diffusion的AI系统，该系统可以根据人的大脑扫描重建图像，未来可能用于记录想象的思想和梦想，或者让人们了解其他动物对现实的感知有何不同。因此，最佳标题应为“想象我们的梦想”。故选D。 D The new reported by Coltura offers one of the most detailed pictures yet of Americans’ driving habits and gasoline consumption. The study analyzed GPS data from millions of vehicles and Census Bureau surveys. It builds on earlier reports the group has issued, including a detailed study of high-mileage drivers in California. Here are some of the findings: around 21 million Americans account for 35 percent of the nation’s gasoline use from private light-duty vehicles; that’s cars, pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans and minivans. That’s more gasoline than is burned each year in Brazil, Canada and Russai combined. These drivers are more likely to live in rural areas and small towns, drive an average of 116 miles per weekday and own vehicles that are larger and less fuel-efficient. “If we want electric vehicles to have the greatest impact, we need to get the highest-mileage drivers behind the wheel,” said John Helveston, an assistant professor of engineering at The George Washington University. Helveston is an author of a recent study finding that electric vehicles were driven less than gasoline cars. Recently , lawmakers in California, Maryland, Vermont and Washington have proposed policies to encourage high-mileage drivers to go electric. “We are at the point where we need to start targeting our electric vehicle policies toward the people who are harder to reach” said Phil Ting. In its latest climate action plan, the state of Maryland proposed an electric vehicle rebate worth up to $5,000 for people who drive long distance. The program, which is not finalized, would require applicants to trade in their older cars and show that they previously had used at least 800 gallons of gasoline per year. Burlington Electric Department, a Vermont utility, will soon test an incentive worth up to $500 aimed at helping high-mileage drivers go electric. It the program works, it could be expanded. 32. Which of the following statement is incorrect about the study in paragraph 2? A. These drivers are more probably live in rural areas and small towns. B. The consumption of gasoline is higher than Brazil’s. C. Less fuel-efficient vehicles may be the reason of high consumption of gasoline. D. Americans’ gasoline use from private car is very low. 33. What can we learn from John Helveston’ s words? A. Highest-mileage drivers are encouraged to use electric vehicles. B. Electric vehicles don’t consume gasoline. C. People are forced to use electric vehicles. D. Electric vehicles have a number of advantages. 34. What might the passage talk about in the following paragraphs? A. The measures of Burlington Electric Department’s incentive. B. The construction of Burlington Electric Department. C. Some programs about electric vehicles. D. Some details about a Vermont utility. 35. Where does the text probably come from? A. A science magazine. B. A research plan. C. A economy magazine. D. A story book. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了美国的驾驶习惯和汽油消耗情况，以及对于高里程驾驶者使用电动汽车的建议和政策。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。从文章中的第二段“around 21 million Americans account for 35 percent of the nation’s gasoline use from private light-duty vehicles; that’s cars, pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans and minivans. That’s more gasoline than is burned each year in Brazil, Canada and Russai combined. ”（约2100万美国人占全国私人轻型汽车汽油使用量的35%；那是轿车、皮卡、运动型多功能车、面包车和小型货车。这比巴西、加拿大和俄罗斯每年燃烧的汽油加起来还要多）可知，美国人私家车的汽油使用量不低，D项错误。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。从文章中的第三段“If we want electric vehicles to have the greatest impact, we need to get the highest-mileage drivers behind the wheel”（如果我们想要电动汽车产生最大的影响，我们需要让里程数最高的司机来驾驶 ）可知，最高里程数的司机被鼓励使用电动汽车。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Burlington Electric Department, a Vermont utility, will soon test an incentive worth up to $500 aimed at helping high-mileage drivers go electric. It the program works, it could be expanded.”（佛蒙特州的公用事业公司伯灵顿电力公司(Burlington Electric Department)将很快测试一项价值高达500美元的奖励措施，旨在帮助行驶里程高的司机使用电动汽车。如果这个项目有效，它可能会被扩大） 推测下面可能会谈论到伯灵顿电力部的激励措施。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。主要讲述了美国的驾驶习惯和汽油消耗情况，以及对于高里程驾驶者使用电动汽车的建议和政策。其根本原因是与经济方面有关。由此判断出短文来自“经济杂志”。故选C项。 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。 Mastering time management is a crucial skill that can enhance productivity and reduce stress, especially for beginners.
