Find more at:www.press.uchicago.edu 1.What is the purpose of this text? A.To explain how a press produces books. B.To help readers pick leisure reads. C.To teach how to judge books by reviews. D.To show how nature links art and science. 2.Which book combines science and visual appeal? A.Frog Day B.Bird Day C.Mushroom Day D.Book Curses 3.Where is this text most likely taken from? A.A publisher's catalog. B.A gallery brochure. C.A science journal. D.A library newsletter. B Jane Austen is a phenomenon.Her writings,and the houses,museums,and other locations linked to her life and work,open a window into the past.Today,adaptations,exhibitions,and new readings of her works bring us fresh ways to understand her,and more information about the late 18th and early 19th centuries-a period sometimes called the Austenian age. Austen was born in 1775 in Hampshire.She lived there for 25 years,then moved to Bath, Southampton,and later Chawton.She also traveled to visit friends,relatives,and coastal places. Though not wealthy,her life was filled with books:she wrote stories,put on plays,and read aloud 高二英语3月月考试题第1页，共8页 in the evenings.She received more education than her sister,Cassandra,as their father let her use his large book collection.In 1797,her father sent her work to a publisher,but it was turned down. Still,she kept writing.Her first novel,Sense and Sensibility,was published anonymously in 1811 under the name"By A Lady."Later,Pride and Prejudice came out,and it sold out quickly.After she died in 1817,her brother Henry published her remaining works,saying her sense of humor was often ignored. Austen left six finished novels,some unfinished works and letters.This"what if'-what she might have written next-is a key reason we're so fascinated by her.One big mystery:she never married,even though marriage meant stability and happiness in her time.Only around 160 of her letters survive,so people try hard to learn about her inner life.They often remember her as cheerful, but her sister spoke of her sadness in later years. Her popularity has lasted over 200 years,reaching across countries.There are many adaptations of her novels.Her works are not just romantic-they also show big changes of her age,like wars and the Industrial Revolution.These topics are still relevant today,which keeps her attraction strong. Now,250 years after her birth,our interest in Jane Austen is as lively as ever. 4.What can we infer from paragraph 1 about Jane Austen? A.The“Austenian age”was shaped by her. B.Interpretations of her works offer a clear view of her time. C.Her life is better understood through exhibitions. D.Her influence reaches beyond her books alone. 5.What does the underlined word"anonymously"probably mean in Paragraph 2? A.With support from her family. B.Without showing her real name. C.Using a well-known pen name. D.Under the publisher's direction. 6.What does the text reveal about Austen's literary works? A.They earned her considerable wealth. B.They gained widespread early fame. C.They reflected broad social changes. D.They illustrated her personal struggles. 7.How does the author present Jane Austen to the readers? A.By connecting facts with influence. B.By comparing with other writers. C.By citing experts'academic reviews. D.By following a strict timeline. C When you're learning a new language,there are a lot of things to remember:spelling rules, grammar rules,punctuation rules...the list is endless.But there's something that can help you: mnemonics [pronounced "nemonics"]. Mnemonics are techniques to help you remember things.There are a variety of them,including rhymes,spelling acronyms and sentence mnemonics. Rhymes are a great way to remember things.The sounds,unusual words and rhythm of them help you recall ideas.Do you know when Columbus sailed to America?There's a rhyme to help you which goes like this,"In fourteen-hundred and ninety-two,Columbus sailed the ocean blue."Most people who've heard that never forget it! 高二英语3月月考试题第2页，共8页 Spelling acronyms involve creating a sentence based on the letters of a target word.For example,the following sentence can help you with the spelling of the word "because","Big elephants can always understand small elephants".Notice how the first letter of each word in the sentence spells out the word "because".And if you can't remember the spelling of the word "mnemonics",use this one"Mike never eats meat or nuts in case he's sick"! Sentence mnemonics are also useful.The following can help you with the difference between the words“principal”and“principle”,“A principal is your pal at school,and a principle is a belief or rule."Or this one to help you remember the difference in spelling between"deserts"(such as the Sahara)and "desserts"(such as Tiramisu),"A dessert has two sugars so it's sweeter,but a desert only has one."[The two "sugars"mentioned in the sentence refer to the twos's in the word “dessert'.J You can learn grammar rules with sentence mnemonics too.For example,this one can help you with the position of adjectives,"Adjectives come before nouns just as 'A'comes before N'."And this one can help you leam about the use of apostrophes(撇号)，“Apostrophes show possession..” Mnemonics can help a lot with language learning.Why not try inventing a few of your own! 8.What are mnemonics in the passage? A.Language learning strategies. B.Specific language model. C.Professional tool books. D.Different language rules. 9.Why is the rhyme about Columbus mentioned in paragraph 3? A.To compare rhymes with other techniques. B.To prove that Columbus was a great explorer. C.To explain the importance of historical events. D.To show how rhymes make facts memorable. 10.Which of the following is an example of a sentence mnemonic? A."In 1066,the Normans did fix"rhymes the year of the Norman Conquest. B.“George's elderly old grandfather rode a pig home yesterday'”helps spell“geography”. C."A stationery store sells paper,while a stationary car doesn't move"differentiates words. D."My very educated mother just served us noodles"helps remember the order of planets. 11.Which of the following would the author probably agree with about inventing mnemonics? A.It requires special training. B.It is something readers can try themselves. C.It does not take much time or effort. D.Language teachers should use it in class. 0 A scientist working with NASA has offered a simple answer to a long-standing question:if the Universe is so large,why haven't we heard from intelligent aliens()?In an early study that has not yet been peer-reviewed,Dr Robin Corbet,from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, argues that it could simply be because they're not interested in finding us. This question is often called the "Fermi paradox".It points out that the universe seems big enough to hold many habitable worlds,yet we have found no clear sign of intelligent life beyond Earth.Some people think aliens are hiding,or that they are too advanced for us to understand. Corbet offers a more ordinary explanation. 高二英语3月月考试题第3页，共8页 He argues that many civilizations might stop making major progress after reaching a"good enough"level of technology.Once life becomes comfortable,curiosity may fade.Even if travel between stars is possible,a civilization might explore for a time and then decide there is little new to discover.Each journey could bring fewer surprises,so the cost of exploration no longer seems worth it. Corbet compares this to getting used to something:when the same experience happens again and again,it feels less exciting.If most civilizations reach such a limit,sending messages across space may start to seem pointless.In that case,our radio searches might pick up only weak"leakage" signals-radio waves that escape by accident-rather than deliberate messages.Corbet adds that a detection could happen someday,but it might not lead to a big jump'in our technology.The Galaxy, he suggests,may be full of life-just not life that finds us especially important. 12.What does Corbet's study mainly try to explain? A.The idea of aliens'hiding from humans. B.The absence of clear alien contact. C.The abundance of habitable worlds in space. D.The lack of humans'interest in finding aliens. 13.What does paragraph 3 suggest about the motivation to explore further? A.Comfort may renew curiosity about exploring. B.Star travel may keep curiosity alive for a time. C.New discoveries may make exploration worthwhile. D.A settled life may weaken the drive to explore. 14.Why does the author mentiongetting used to something"in the last paragraph? A.To explain why exploration may lose its appeal. B.To account for weak“leakage”signals. C.To show why messages might seem pointless. D.To suggest a detection may bring little progress. 15.What might be the best title for the text? A.When the Stars Stop Calling B.Life Out There,Silence Here C.Why the Galaxy Isn't Empty D.Clear Signals,Fading Curiosity 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。 Trust helps relationships grow,but it doesn't come equally easily to everyone.16 Instead,it is shaped by our experiences,our personality,and the way we have been treated in the past.That's why people may trust in different ways. Trust sits at the heart of daily life.When you take a taxi,you trust the driver to get you home safely.When you pay a worker to fix something,you trust him to do the job well.Typically,at school or work,you trust people to keep promises and respect basic rules.17Without trust, many everyday activities would feel risky. 高二英语3月月考试题第4页，共8页 However,once trust is broken,rebuilding it can be hard.When we meet someone new,we naturally pay closer attention to the setting and the person's behaviour.We carry earlier lessons with us,too:many of us were taught as children not to talk to strangers.18This protective instinct naturally carries over into our everyday social life. 19 Sometimes we get a "feeling"about whether someone is safe to rely on.Yet a first impression is not the same as a final judgement.If we've been burned before,we may question our ability to read people and situations.We may then hold back even when someone means well. The good news is that trust can be developed.Start by knowing your values and setting clear boundaries.Take your time,communicate worries honestly,and let trust grow through small actions. _20 If emotional pain is deep,professional help may be needed. A.It is more than a dictionary meaning. B.The same goes for first impressions. C.That habit can shape our first judgement of others. D.People may respond very differently to the same event. E.We even trust strangers when we travel to and from school or work. F.Over time,these steps can help build trust more steadily. G.Consequently,it is easy to stay cautious until we see the full picture. 第二部分：语言知识运用（满分30分） 第一节完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出 可以填入空白处的最佳选项。（每小题1分，满分15分） From the time I was seven,I had a dream of becoming a member of the students'union.I always 21my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us.I dreamed of being a leader.The years flew by,and soon I was able to take part in the elections,22I would win.

I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need,but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner.We began preparing the food,from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat.Much still needed to be done before dinner was served,but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering.It wasn't until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner. As the line of people came toward me,I got a little scared.I'd come face to face with the homeless:How should I act?How would they treat me?Would they hate me for having more than they did?While some of the people looked very friendly,some of them looked so dangerous.I didn't have too much time to worry about it.I was assigned (to serve the salad with the lady next to me.She smiled at me and said if I needed help,she'd be right there,which I found quite comforting.
