沂源县鲁山学校2024--2025学年高二上学期阶段性测试 英语试题 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）： 略 第二部分:阅读（共两节, 满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A June is around the corner, meaning summer is almost here! we’ve asked our book critics for some advice: What upcoming fiction and nonfiction are they most looking forward to reading? Here’s a look: Daughter of the Merciful Deep by Leslye Penelope I was hooked when I first saw the gorgeous cover for Daughter of the Merciful Deep by Leslye Penelope. But the novel’s premise put it at the top of my summer reading list. Penelope is known for unforgettable characters, world—building, beautiful writing and robust Storytelling. Her latest work, inspired by actual events —the drowned Black towns of the American South —promises a magical, mythical and powerful tale of a young woman’s quest to save her town. A historical fantasy must—read. (July 4)—Denny Bryce The Lucky Ones by Zara Chowdhary In 2002, two train carriages were set on fire in Gujarat, India. Within three weeks, more than 2, 000 Muslims were murdered in response by Hindu mobs. By the end of the year, more than 50, 000 Muslims became refugees in their own country. The Lucky Ones is a unique biography in English of this largest—ever massacre in independent India. It is also about a communal crisis bringing a fractured family together. A must—read in our warring world today. (July 16)—Jenny Bhatt Liars by Sarah Manguso I have long been a fan of Sarah Manguso’s crystalline prose, from her fragmented illness biography The Two Kinds of Decay to her tightly constrained 2022 novel Very Cold People. Her second novel, Liars, marries restraint with rage—in it, Manguso traces the full are of a 15-year relationship between Jane, a successful writer, and John, a dilettante artist—cum一 techie, in aphoristic vignettes. The result is a furious, propulsive meditation on wifehood, motherhood and artistic ambition. (July 23)—Kristen Martin 1. What is Penelope famous for? A. Using beautiful language. B. Focusing on actual events. C. Telling historical stories. D. Shaping perfect woman images. 2. Which of the following is a biography? A. Liars. B. The Lucky Ones. C. Daughter of the Merciful Deep. D.

B Skiing has been around since early civilization, evidenced by a 5,000-year-old rock carving representing men on skis hunting deer in Norway, and the discovery of a ski dating back to 6000 B.C. found in Vis, Russia. Historians debate where skiing first got its start, though; some argue that it was in Altay, China, in 8000 B.C. Modern skiing, however, can date back to the Scandinavians, who mainly used skis as a means of travel or for other practical purposes, particularly the Indigenous Sámi people in Norway, Finland, and Sweden, writes Raymond Flower in The History of Skiing and Other Winter Sports. Norse myths (挪威神话) even described Ull, a winter god, on skis with curved tips and included other stories of heroes and goddesses skiing down mountains. Some of the first official competitions began around 1850 in Norway, with the first recorded race in Sweden held outside Stockholm in 1879. Skiing became a household word with the publication of the popular book offering a thrilling account of Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen’s difficult and historic journey on skis across Greenland in 1888. The sport spread to the Swiss Alps, where it was enjoyed largely by British vacationers, before clubs popped up around the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Variations of the sport developed over the years, such as the slalom race (障碍滑雪), downhill jumping, and mountaineering. The British are largely credited with transforming skiing from its Scandinavian roots into the highly competitive sport it is now. In 1921, they developed rules that became widely accepted and adjusted the slalom race to include flag gates to test the skill of skiers’ turns. Skiing then exploded in popularity after World War II, when ski resorts (胜地) gradually developed to receive single-day skiers as well as those taking longer vacations. 4. What can we learn about Raymond Flower? A. He wrote about skiing. B. He invented skiing. C. He recorded Norse myths. D. He was good at rock carving. 5 Why did skiing become a well-known word in the late 1800’s? A. Some official competitions were held. B. The British spread it all over the world. C. It was written in the textbook on history. D. An adventure book about skiing came out. 6. Who contributed most in changing skiing to a more competitive sport? A. The Swiss. B. The British. C. The Norse. D. The Finn. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. How Did Skiing Develop in Norway? B. Why Did People Kill Time by Skiing? C. What Are Skiing Adventures All About? D. What Are the Ancient Origins of Skiing? C Jack Prelutsky is an American poet. He is known for his humorous and fantastic poetry for children, which has earned him numerous awards. Jack Prelutsky was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1940. As a child, he did not enjoy poetry, finding it boring and pointless. Instead, Prelutsky expressed his artistry through music, taking voice and piano lessons. While Prelutsky claims he got into poetry almost by accident, he also states that he was always a poet. It just took him some time to realize his love for poetry. Prelutsky explored quite a few options before he found his niche in poetry. He was a folk singer and guitar teacher in Greenwich Village in his late teens and early twenties. Prelutsky also held a variety of odd jobs. He worked as a furniture mover, piano mover, taxicab driver, coal shoveler, fruit picker, truck driver and photographer, among other jobs. At the age of 23, Prelutsky decided to try illustrating. Just before presenting his illustrations to a children’s book editor, he added a few lines of poetry to the pictures. The editor told him that the illustrations were not publishable but the poems showed the talent. Over the next months and years, Prelutsky worked with the editor to create a collection of animal poems inspired by his love of the Bronx Zoo. His first book, entitled A Gopher in the Garden and Other Animal Poems, was published in 1967. In addition to writing, Prelutsky has edited various poetry collections and translated poetry from German and Swedish into English. He currently resides in Seattle, where he writes and performs his work. Prelutsky is considered one of the most popular children’s poets. His work pioneered a new era of children’s poetry. In 2006, the Poetry Foundation named Jack Prelutsky the first Children’s Poet Laureate, a position designed to promote poetry for children and raise awareness of the power and relevance of poetry for young people. 8. Why did Prelutsky dislike poetry in his early years? A. It was too difficult. B. He wasn’t good at it. C. He thought it meaningless. D. It took up too much of his time. 9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “niche” in paragraph 3? A. Mistake. B. Dream C. Comprehension. D. Interest. 10. How old was Prelutsky when he published his first book? A. 23. B. 27. C. 40. D. 66. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce a poet. B. To attract poetry lovers. C. To display some excellent poems. D. To encourage readers to write poems. D Since the start of the industrial revolution, there have been threats that new machines — from mechanized looms (织布机) to microchips would take human jobs. A March report from Goldman Sachs estimated that AI capable of content generation could do a quarter of all the work currently done by humans. Across the European Union and the US, the report further notes, 300 million jobs could be lost to automation. Thankfully, it’s not all bad news. The experts issue their warnings with a relief: there are still things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve distinctly human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking. “I think there are generally three categories that will remain unaffected in the coming future.” says Martin Ford, a related author. “The first would be jobs that are genuinely creative: you’re not engaged in repetitive work or just rearranging things, but you’re genuinely coming up with new ideas and building something new.” That doesn’t necessarily mean all jobs that are considered “creative” are safe. In fact, things like graphic design and visual art-related roles may be among the first to go. Basic algorithms can direct a robot to analyze millions of images, allowing AI to rapidly acquire a sense of beauty. “But there’s some security in other kinds of creativity, in science, and medicine and law people whose job is coming up with a new legal strategy or business strategy.” says Ford. “The second category,” he continues, “is jobs that require complicated interpersonal relationships.” He points to nurses, business consultants and investigative journalists. “These are jobs to interact in the kinds of ways that really build relationships.” he says. “The third safe zone is jobs that really require lots of mobility and problem-solving ability in unpredictable environments.” says Ford. Many trade jobs — think electricians, plumbers, engineers and where you need a very deep understanding of people. I think it’ll be a long time before AI has the ability the like — fall under this umbrella. “These are the kinds of jobs where you’re dealing with a new situation all the time.” he adds. In short, seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to avoid job loss to AI, at least, for a while. 12. What has been a historical concern regarding new machines? A. The need for increased human skills. B. The possibility of human losing jobs. C. The fear of increased automation costs. D. The potential for machine malfunctions. 13. What can we know from the March report? A AI is not capable of content generation. B. AI can imitate distinctly human qualities. C. AI poses no threat to human employment. D. AI has no outside-the-box thinking abilities. 14 Which of the following statement will Martin Ford disagree with? A. All creative jobs are not safe from AI. B. Graphic designers tend to be affected. C. Problem-solving jobs will remain unaffected. D. Jobs focusing on repetitive tasks will still have a place. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the potential job loss caused by AI? A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain. 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山可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to stop procrastinating (拖延) and make a start Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out. ____16____ Fortunately, here are four tips to get you moving again. Little steps for big tasks. Most procrastinators tell themselves, “I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.” Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks. ____17____ One way to do this is to break your job into steps that can be accomplished bit by bit. ____18____ Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them. Tune out negative thoughts. When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. ____19____ Once you change your negative thoughts, energy returns. Give yourself credit. ____20____ But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task. However, if you are sure that there are good reasons why you avoid doing something, you may need to re-evaluate your goals. A. Never give up. B. Expect difficulties. C. Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going. D. We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside, E. By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them. F. Be here now, and don’t worry about things you have to do in the future. G. Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空內处的最佳选项。　 Over a decade ago Heather Benoit was given a crayon as a gift by one of her students.

He sat in his English class, mindlessly doodling on his notebook. “Jamie Turner, please report to the principal’s office immediately.” Jamie’s heart sank. With his mind racing, Jamie grabbed his backpack and made the long walk down the hallway to the principal’s office, avoiding eye contact with fellow students. As he walked, he searched his brain for any possible explanations for why he was being called. Jamie finally reached the principal’s office. He took a deep breath and pushed it open, bracing himself for the worst. To his surprise, he found the principal, Mr. Harrison who was wearing a giant yellow chicken hat on his head, standing on his desk and waving his arms as if he were trying to fly! Jamie’s mouth fell open at the sight, too stunned to speak. “Jamie, sit down,” Mr. Harrison exclaimed, gesturing him to take a seat. “I’ve called you here because we’ve been having some complaints about your behavior. You’ve been… too funny.” Jamie’s jaw dropped further. Was that really the reason he was called to the principal’s office? The principal continued, his tone serious, “Now, we take our education very seriously here, and while we appreciate a good sense of humor, we have to draw the line somewhere. We cannot have students disturbing the learning environment with their… their humor.” Jamie couldn’t help it—he burst out laughing, doubling over in his seat as he gasped for breath. Finally, Jamie managed to compose himself enough to speak. “I’m sorry, sir, it’s just… I can’t stop laughing at the thought of getting in trouble for laughing… and your hat! It’s ridiculous!” The principal frowned, “Well, I’m glad you find it funny. But your teachers don’t.” Jamie nodded seriously, trying to contain his laughter. “I understand, sir. I’ll be less funny in class.” “Um, Mr. Harrison, why are you wearing a chicken hat?” Jamie asked, unable to contain his curiosity. “Oh, today is Animal Day for the first-graders.” Mr. Harrisjon grinned. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Really, Mr. Harrison? You think I’m that good for the upcoming school Comedy Festival?” Jamie asked. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 沂源县鲁山学校2024--2025学年高二上学期阶段性测试 英语试题 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）： 略 第二部分:阅读（共两节, 满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A June is around the corner, meaning summer is almost here! we’ve asked our book critics for some advice: What upcoming fiction and nonfiction are they most looking forward to reading?

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国著名的儿童诗歌诗人——Jack Prelutsky。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“As a child, he did not enjoy poetry, finding it boring and pointless.(当他还是个孩子的时候，他不喜欢诗歌，觉得它无聊又毫无意义)”可知，Jack Prelutsky早年不喜欢诗歌，因为他觉得诗歌无聊，没有意义。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“He was a folk singer and guitar teacher in Greenwich Village in his late teens and early twenties. Prelutsky also held a variety of odd jobs. He worked as a furniture mover, piano mover, taxicab driver, coal shoveler, fruit picker, truck driver and photographer, among other jobs.(在他二十出头的时候，他是格林威治村的一名民谣歌手和吉他老师。普雷卢茨基还做过各种零工。他曾做过家具搬运工、钢琴搬运工、出租车司机、铲煤工、水果采摘工、卡车司机和摄影师等工作)”可知，普雷卢茨基在诗歌领域找到自己的兴趣之前，探索了很多选择。由此可知，niche意为“兴趣”。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Jack Prelutsky was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1940.( Jack Prelutsky于1940年出生在纽约布鲁克林)”和文章第四段“His first book, entitled A Gopher in the Garden and Other Animal Poems, was published in 1967.(他的第一本书《花园里的地鼠和其他动物诗歌》于1967年出版)”可知，他在27岁的时候出版了他的第一本著作。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Jack Prelutsky is an American poet. He is known for his humorous and fantastic poetry for children, which has earned him numerous awards.(杰克·普雷卢茨基是一位美国诗人。他以其幽默和奇妙的儿童诗歌而闻名，这些诗歌为他赢得了无数奖项)”可知，文章主要介绍了美国著名的儿童诗歌诗人——Jack Prelutsky。由此可推知，文章的写作目的是为了介绍一位诗人。故选A。 D Since the start of the industrial revolution, there have been threats that new machines — from mechanized looms (织布机) to microchips would take human jobs. A March report from Goldman Sachs estimated that AI capable of content generation could do a quarter of all the work currently done by humans. Across the European Union and the US, the report further notes, 300 million jobs could be lost to automation. Thankfully it’s not all bad news. The experts issue their warnings with a relief: there are still things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve distinctly human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking. “I think there are generally three categories that will remain unaffected in the coming future.” says Martin Ford, a related author. “The first would be jobs that are genuinely creative: you’re not engaged in repetitive work or just rearranging things, but you’re genuinely coming up with new ideas and building something new.” That doesn’t necessarily mean all jobs that are considered “creative” are safe. In fact, things like graphic design and visual art-related roles may be among the first to go. Basic algorithms can direct a robot to analyze millions of images, allowing AI to rapidly acquire a sense of beauty. “But there’s some security in other kinds of creativity, in science, and medicine and law people whose job is coming up with a new legal strategy or business strategy.” says Ford. “The second category,” he continues, “is jobs that require complicated interpersonal relationships.” He points to nurses, business consultants and investigative journalists. “These are jobs to interact in the kinds of ways that really build relationships.” he says. “The third safe zone is jobs that really require lots of mobility and problem-solving ability in unpredictable environments.” says Ford. Many trade jobs — think electricians, plumbers, engineers and where you need a very deep understanding of people. I think it’ll be a long time before AI has the ability the like — fall under this umbrella. “These are the kinds of jobs where you’re dealing with a new situation all the time.” he adds. In short, seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to avoid job loss to AI, at least, for a while. 12. What has been a historical concern regarding new machines? A. The need for increased human skills. B. The possibility of human losing jobs. C. The fear of increased automation costs. D. The potential for machine malfunctions. 13. What can we know from the March report? A. AI is not capable of content generation. B. AI can imitate distinctly human qualities. C. AI poses no threat to human employment. D. AI has no outside-the-box thinking abilities. 14. Which of the following statement will Martin Ford disagree with? A. All creative jobs are not safe from AI. B. Graphic designers tend to be affected. C. Problem-solving jobs will remain unaffected. D. Jobs focusing on repetitive tasks will still have a place. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the potential job loss caused by AI? A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。高盛3月份的一份报告估计，能够生成内容的人工智能可以完成目前人类所做工作的四分之一。报告进一步指出，在整个欧盟和美国，自动化可能会导致3亿个工作岗位流失。但是人工智能仍有一些事情是无法胜任的——那些涉及明显人类品质的任务，比如情商和创新思维。文章对此进行了介绍。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Since the start of the industrial revolution, there have been threats that new machines — from mechanized looms (织布机) to microchips would take human jobs.(自从工业革命开始以来，新机器——从机械化织布机到微芯片——就一直威胁着人类的工作。)”可知，对于新机器的传统担忧是人类失去工作的可能性。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The experts issue their warnings with a relief: there are still things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve distinctly human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking.(专家们在发出警告时也给出了安慰：人工智能仍有一些事情是无法胜任的——那些涉及明显人类品质的任务，比如情商和创新思维。)”可知，人工智能没有创新思维。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“The first would be jobs that are genuinely creative: you’re not engaged in repetitive work or just rearranging things, but you’re genuinely coming up with new ideas and building something new.(第一种是真正具有创造性的工作：你不是在从事重复性的工作，也不是在重新安排东西，而是在真正地提出新想法，创造新东西。)”可知，马丁·福特会不认同“专注于重复性任务的工作仍将有一席之地”的观点。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In short, seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to avoid job loss to AI, at least, for a while.(简而言之，在包括不可预测任务在内的动态、不断变化的环境中寻找职位，是避免被人工智能抢走工作的好方法，至少在一段时间内是这样。)”可知，作者对人工智能可能造成的失业持乐观态度。故选A。 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山可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to stop procrastinating (拖延) and make a start Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out. ____16____ Fortunately, here are four tips to get you moving again. Little steps for big tasks. Most procrastinators tell themselves, “I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.” Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks. ____17____ One way to do this is to break your job into steps that can be accomplished bit by bit. ____18____ Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them. Tune out negative thoughts. When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. ____19____ Once you change your negative thoughts, energy returns. Give yourself credit. ____20____ But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task. However, if you are sure that there are good reasons why you avoid doing something, you may need to re-evaluate your goals. A. Never give up. B Expect difficulties. C. Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going. D. We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside, E. By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them. F. Be here now, and don’t worry about things you have to do in the future. G. Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. B 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍如何停止拖延症并开始采取行动。 【16题详解】 首段为总起段，功能为引入话题。由空前一句话“Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out.(拖延与动机有关，也与恐惧有关。也许你们避免了付账单，也避免了提出建议或约人出去。)”可知，这里列举了有拖延症的人可能会出现的行为，而G项Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it.(不管是什么事情，拖延往往会比实际做更大的问题。)符合语境，其 putting it off 与上文Procrastinating对应，且引出下文的解决方案，有承上启下作用。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据本段的小标题“Little steps for big tasks (大事化小)”可知，本段的内容围绕把一个整体任务拆分为若干步骤来完成展开，由空前“Most procrastinators tell themselves, ‘I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.’ Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks.(大多数拖延者告诉自己，“我会等到我有心情的时候。”让我们面对现实吧；你永远不会想平衡你的支票簿或收拾你桌子上的烂摊子。这些都是枯燥乏味的任务。)”可知，这里通过举例子的方式来告诉读者，“等有心情的时候再做”是不会实现的，因为这些都是很无聊的、不令人愉悦的任务，而C项Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going.(有时你只需要让自己做起来。)符合语境，有承上作用，且其中get yourself going与后文this对应，也有启下作用。故选C项。 【18题详解】 空格处为段落小标题。根据段落内容“Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them. (那些拖延的人往往认为成功的人在没有挫折、自我怀疑和失败的情况下实现了他们的目标。这是不现实的。高效的人知道生活是令人沮丧的。他们认为自己会遇到障碍；当他们做到这一点时，他们会坚持不懈，直到克服它们。)”可知，本段主要讲有拖延症的人通常认为那些成功的人在达到目标的过程中是没有挫折、自我怀疑和失败的。而文章进一步告诉读者这是不现实的。所以B项Expect difficulties.(期待困难)符合语境，对本段有总括作用。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据本段的小标题“Tune out negative thoughts (排除消极的想法)”可知，本段的内容围绕避免负面思想对完成任务的干扰展开，第一句话“When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. (当你逃避一项任务时，可能是因为你在给自己灌输不切实际的负面信息。)”可知，这里分析了不切实际的负面信息可能是你拖延的原因，因此推知本空应该解决这一问题的办法，而E项By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them. (把它们写下来，你就有机会摆脱它们。)符合语境，为处理负面思想的办法。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据本段的小标题“Give yourself credit (表扬自己)”可知，本段的内容围绕进行自我肯定展开。本空为段首句，空后有转折连词“but”，故需要根据后面的内容进行反推。由空后句子“But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task(但是，如果你从不让自己对自己的努力感到满意，你很快就会发现尝试毫无意义。所以，无论成就有多小，都要相信自己。然后你就可以完成最艰巨的任务)”可知，来自内在的肯定是对自己最大的奖励，所以D项We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside (我们通常认为奖励来自外部)符合语境，与后文构成转折关系。故选D项。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空內处的最佳选项。　 Over a decade ago, Heather Benoit was given a crayon as a gift by one of her students.

He sat in his English class, mindlessly doodling on his notebook. “Jamie Turner, please report to the principal’s office immediately.” Jamie’s heart sank. With his mind racing, Jamie grabbed his backpack and made the long walk down the hallway to the principal’s office, avoiding eye contact with fellow students. As he walked, he searched his brain for any possible explanations for why he was being called. Jamie finally reached the principal’s office. He took a deep breath and pushed it open, bracing himself for the worst. To his surprise, he found the principal, Mr. Harrison who was wearing a giant yellow chicken hat on his head, standing on his desk and waving his arms as if he were trying to fly! Jamie’s mouth fell open at the sight, too stunned to speak. “Jamie, sit down,” Mr. Harrison exclaimed, gesturing him to take a seat. “I’ve called you here because we’ve been having some complaints about your behavior. You’ve been… too funny.” Jamie’s jaw dropped further. Was that really the reason he was called to the principal’s office? The principal continued, his tone serious, “Now, we take our education very seriously here, and while we appreciate a good sense of humor, we have to draw the line somewhere. We cannot have students disturbing the learning environment with their… their humor.” Jamie couldn’t help it—he burst out laughing, doubling over in his seat as he gasped for breath. Finally, Jamie managed to compose himself enough to speak. “I’m sorry, sir, it’s just… I can’t stop laughing at the thought of getting in trouble for laughing… and your hat! It’s ridiculous!” The principal frowned, “Well, I’m glad you find it funny. But your teachers don’t.” Jamie nodded seriously, trying to contain his laughter. “I understand, sir. I’ll be less funny in class.” “Um, Mr. Harrison, why are you wearing a chicken hat?” Jamie asked, unable to contain his curiosity. “Oh, today is Animal Day for the first-graders.” Mr. Harrisjon grinned. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Really, Mr. Harrison?
