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 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. Her influence reaches beyond her books alone. C. Her life is better understood through exhibitions. D. Interpretations of her works offer a clear view of her time. 5. What does the underlined word “anonymously” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. With support from her family. B. Using a well-known pen name. C. Without showing her real name. D. Under the publisher’s direction. 6. What does the text reveal about Austen’s literary works? A. They reflected broad social changes. B. They gained widespread early fame. C. They earned her considerable wealth. D. They illustrated her personal struggles. 7. How does the author present Jane Austen to the readers? A. By following a strict timeline. B. By comparing with other writers. C. By citing experts’ academic reviews. D. By connecting facts with influence. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍简·奥斯汀的生平、作品、未解之谜及其跨越两百多年的深远影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“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.(她的作品，以及与她生活和创作相关的宅邸、博物馆和其他地点，为我们打开了一扇通往过去的窗口。如今，对她作品的改编、展览和新解读为我们提供了认识她的全新方式，也让我们更多地了解18世纪末至19世纪初——这个有时被称为“奥斯汀时代”的时期。)”可知，简·奥斯汀的影响不仅限于书籍本身。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Her first novel, Sense and Sensibility, was published anonymously in 1811 under the name “By A Lady.” (她的第一部小说《理智与情感》于1811年以‘一位女士所作’的名义anonymously出版。)”可知，该书使用了“By A Lady”而非作者真名出版，说明没有公开真实姓名，由此可猜测，“anonymously”意为“不显示真实姓名地，匿名地”。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Her works are not just romantic — they also show big changes of her age, like wars and the Industrial Revolution.(她的作品不仅浪漫，还展现了她所处时代的重大变革，如战争和工业革命。)”可知，奥斯汀的文学作品反映了广泛的社会变化。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Austen was born in 1775 in Hampshire. She lived there for 25 years, then moved to Bath, Southampton, and later Chawton.(奥斯汀1775年出生于汉普郡。她在那里生活了25年，之后搬到巴斯、南安普敦，后来又到了查顿。)”、第三段中的“Austen left six finished novels, some unfinished works and letters.(奥斯汀留下了六部长篇小说、一些未完成的作品和信件。)”以及第四段中的“Her popularity has lasted over 200 years, reaching across countries.(她的受欢迎程度已经持续了200多年，遍及各国。)”等关键信息可知，作者通过叙述奥斯汀的生平事实，同时介绍其作品与影响力，将事实与影响结合起来向读者展现简·奥斯汀。故选D项。 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! 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 two s’s in the word “dessert”.] 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 learn 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. Professional tool books. B. Specific language model. C. Language learning strategies. D. Different language rules. 9. Why is the rhyme about Columbus mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To compare rhymes with other techniques. B. To show how rhymes make facts memorable. C. To prove that Columbus was a great explorer. D. To explain the importance of historical events. 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. “My very educated mother just served us noodles” helps remember the order of planets. D. “A stationery store sells paper, while a stationary car doesn’t move” differentiates words. 11. Which of the following would the author probably agree with about inventing mnemonics? A. It requires special training. B. It does not take much time or effort. C. It is something readers can try themselves. D. Language teachers should use it in class. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在学习新语言时，助记法（mnemonics）这种有助于记忆的技巧。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Mnemonics are techniques to help you remember things.(助记法是帮助你记忆事物的技巧)”以及全文围绕助记法在语言学习中的应用可知，助记法是语言学习策略。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据据第三段“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!(押韵法是记住事情的好方法。它们的发音、不寻常的词汇和节奏能帮助你回忆起信息。你知道哥伦布什么时候航行到美洲吗？有一首押韵的口诀可以帮助你，“在1492年，哥伦布扬帆蓝色海洋”大多数听过这个口诀的人都不会忘记！)”可知，提到关于哥伦布的押韵口诀是为了展示押韵法如何使事实易于记忆。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“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 two s’s in the word “dessert”.](句子助记法也很有用。下面这个句子可以帮助你区分“principal”和“principle”这两个词，“校长（principal）是你在学校的好朋友（pal），而原则（principle）是一种信念或规则”或者这个句子可以帮助你记住“deserts”（如撒哈拉沙漠）和“desserts”（如提拉米苏）在拼写上的区别，“甜点（dessert）有两个‘糖’（sugar，这里指单词里的两个s）所以更甜，而沙漠（desert）只有一个”）”可知，句子助记法用于区分单词。D选项“A stationery store sells paper, while a stationary car doesn’t move” differentiates words.（“文具店（stationery store）卖纸，而静止的（stationary）汽车不动”区分单词。）符合句子助记法特点，是句子助记法的例子。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Mnemonics can help a lot with language learning. Why not try inventing a few of your own! (助记法对语言学习有很大帮助。为什么不试着自己发明一些呢！)”可知，作者认为读者可以自己尝试发明助记法。故选C项。 D 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 (外星人)? 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. 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 absence of clear alien contact. B. The idea of aliens’ hiding from humans. 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. A settled life may weaken the drive to explore. D. New discoveries may make exploration worthwhile. 14. Why does the author mention “getting used to something” in the last paragraph? A. To account for weak “leakage” signals. B. To show why messages might seem pointless. C. To explain why exploration may lose its appeal. 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 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家Corbet对“费米悖论”提出新解释，即外星文明可能因失去探索动力而未与人类联系。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“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 (外星人)?(一位在美国宇航局工作的科学家，对一个长期存在的疑问给出了简单的答案：既然宇宙如此浩瀚，我们为什么从未收到过智慧外星人的音讯？)”以及第二段中“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.(这个问题通常被称为“费米悖论”。它指出：宇宙之大，足以容纳无数宜居星球，然而人类至今未发现地球之外存在智慧生命的明确迹象。有人认为外星人在刻意隐藏，或是它们的文明太过先进，人类无法理解；而Corbet给出了一个更平淡的解释。)”可知，Corbet的研究主要试图解释为什么没有明确的与外星人接触的迹象。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“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.(他认为，许多文明在达到“足够好”的技术水平后可能会停止取得重大进展。一旦生活变得舒适，好奇心可能会消退。)”可知，第三段表明稳定的生活可能会削弱探索的动力。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“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.(Corbet将此比作习惯某事：当同样的经历一次又一次地发生时，它就不那么令人兴奋了。如果大多数文明都达到了这样的极限，那么跨越太空发送信息可能开始显得毫无意义。)”可知，作者提到“习惯某事”是为了解释为什么探索可能会失去吸引力。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“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 (外星人)?(一位在美国宇航局工作的科学家，对一个长期存在的疑问给出了简单的答案：既然宇宙如此浩瀚，我们为什么从未收到过智慧外星人的音讯？)”可知，文章主要讨论了为什么我们还没有收到来自外星智慧生命的明确信号，即宇宙中存在生命，但这里却保持沉默。因此，选项B“Life Out There, Silence Here(那里有生命，这里却沉默)”是最佳标题。故选B。 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. ___17___ Without trust, many everyday activities would feel risky. 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. ___18___ This 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. The same goes for first impressions. B. It is more than a dictionary meaning. C. That habit can shape our first judgement of others. D. People may respond very differently to the same event. E. Over time, these steps can help build trust more steadily. F. Consequently, it is easy to stay cautious until we see the full picture. G. We even trust strangers when we travel to and from school or work. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍信任对人际关系的重要性、信任的形成原因、在生活中的体现、信任被破坏后的重建方法以及相关心理机制。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Trust helps relationships grow, but it doesn’t come equally easily to everyone.(信任有助于人际关系成长，但它并非对每个人来说都同样容易形成)”以及后文“Instead, it is shaped by our experiences, our personality, and the way we have been treated in the past.(相反，它是由我们的经历、性格以及过去被对待的方式所塑造的)”中的Instead可知，此空与后文构成转折关系，说明信任不只是字面意思，B选项“It is more than a dictionary meaning.(它不仅仅是字典上的一个定义)”与后文“信任由经历、性格等塑造”形成转折，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“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.(信任处于日常生活的核心。当你乘坐出租车时，你信任司机能安全送你回家。当你付钱让工人修理东西时，你信任他能把工作做好。通常，在学校或工作中，你信任人们会遵守承诺、尊重基本规则)”可知，前文列举生活中信任他人的例子，此空应进一步补充信任陌生人的情况，G选项“We even trust strangers when we travel to and from school or work.(我们在上下学或上下班途中甚至会信任陌生人)”承接前文的举例，使内容更完整，符合语境。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“We carry earlier lessons with us, too: many of us were taught as children not to talk to strangers.(我们也带着早年的经验：我们很多人从小就被教导不要和陌生人说话)”以及后文“This protective instinct naturally carries over into our everyday social life.(这种保护本能自然会延续到我们日常的社交生活中)”可知，前文提到从小被教导不与陌生人说话，此空应说明由此产生的结果，F选项“Consequently, it is easy to stay cautious until we see the full picture.(因此，在我们了解全部情况之前，很容易保持谨慎)”是前文教导带来的自然结果，且与后文保护本能衔接，符合语境。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据后文“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. (有时我们会对某人是否可以安全依赖产生一种‘感觉’。然而，第一印象并不等同于最终判断)”可知，本段围绕第一印象展开，此空应作为主题句引出第一印象的话题，A选项“The same goes for first impressions.(第一印象也是如此)”总起本段，引出后文关于第一印象的论述，符合语境。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“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.(好消息是信任是可以培养的。从了解自己的价值观、设定清晰的界限开始。慢慢来，诚实地沟通担忧，让信任通过小事慢慢培养)”可知，前文给出培养信任的具体步骤，此空应说明这些步骤带来的结果，E选项“Over time, these steps can help build trust more steadily.(久而久之，这些步骤能帮助更稳定地建立信任)”总结前文做法的效果，符合语境。故选E项。 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.

Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do. I thought that we would just be passing our 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 (分配) 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. I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had totally given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile. Nervous as I felt, I did my best to keep myself calm and packed bread, salad and meat to those in need. Upon noticing my hurried and trembling hands, the lady next to me smilingly told me that I should first organize these people to queue up and then hand out salad one by one. I immediately sprang into action and the passing time witnessed the smooth process of this event. Every one of them including those who looked very dangerous murmured in a cheering voice “Thank you” and bowed to me sincerely, which brought warmth straight into my heart. It was not until the night wiped out the last ray of sun that we finished our community service for the homeless. I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way. I was aware that my time spent at the soup kitchen was really a rewarding, enriching and life-changing experience. Not only did I clear my previous prejudice against those who deserved compassion and support, but also I served the people who were less fortunate than me. In the meanwhile, I suddenly came to realize that not everyone was blessed with fortune and born to be wealthy, and therefore, we should always keep grateful for what life blessed us with. I now felt it a duty to do what I could for them. Since that day, I have spared more time in offering my service opportunity in dining halls, in the streets, in front of grocery stores. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为了完成高中毕业所需的社区服务时间，需要在所在的社区做点什么，作者去了施粥所，作者发现要做的事情很多，作者看到无家可归的人靠近时心里有点害怕，但是却忙得没有时间去担心这些，想到有那么多人无家可归，他们唯一得到的食物来自施粥所，作者感到很难过。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他们朝我走来的时候，我露出了最灿烂、最幸福的笑容”可知，第一段可描写作者是如何为无家可归的人施粥。 ②由第二段首句内容“我很高兴我用这种方式赢得了我的服务时间”可知，第二段可描写作者对这次社区服务的感悟。 2.续写线索：作者施粥——无家可归的人感激——感悟——继续这样的行为 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放在：put/place/lay ②意识到：realize/be aware ③采取行动：spring into action/take action 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative ②高兴的：happy/delighted ③紧张的：nervous/tense 【点睛】[高分句型1] Upon noticing my hurried and trembling hands, the lady next to me smilingly told me that I should first organize these people to queue up and then hand out salad one by one.(由that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2] It was not until the night wiped out the last ray of sun that we finished our community service for the homeless.(运用了强调句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度第二学期3月月考 高二英语试题 (满分140分，考试时间120分钟) 2026.3.31 第一部分：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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A Looking for good books to enjoy in your spare time?

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 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. Her influence reaches beyond her books alone. C. Her life is better understood through exhibitions. D. Interpretations of her works offer a clear view of her time. 5. What does the underlined word “anonymously” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. With support from her family. B. Using a well-known pen name. C. Without showing her real name. D. Under the publisher’s direction. 6. What does the text reveal about Austen’s literary works? A. They reflected broad social changes. B. They gained widespread early fame. C. They earned her considerable wealth. D. They illustrated her personal struggles. 7. How does the author present Jane Austen to the readers? A. By following a strict timeline. B. By comparing with other writers. C. By citing experts’ academic reviews. D. By connecting facts with influence. 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! 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 two s’s in the word “dessert”.] 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 learn 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. Professional tool books. B. Specific language model. C. Language learning strategies. D. Different language rules. 9. Why is the rhyme about Columbus mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To compare rhymes with other techniques. B. To show how rhymes make facts memorable. C. To prove that Columbus was a great explorer. D. To explain the importance of historical events. 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.

D 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 (外星人)? 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. 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 absence of clear alien contact. B. The idea of aliens’ hiding from humans. 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. A settled life may weaken the drive to explore. D. New discoveries may make exploration worthwhile. 14. Why does the author mention “getting used to something” in the last paragraph? A. To account for weak “leakage” signals. B. To show why messages might seem pointless. C. To explain why exploration may lose its appeal. 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. ___17___ Without trust, many everyday activities would feel risky. 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. ___18___ This 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. The same goes for first impressions. B. It is more than a dictionary meaning. C. That habit can shape our first judgement of others. D. People may respond very differently to the same event. E. Over time, these steps can help build trust more steadily. F. Consequently, it is easy to stay cautious until we see the full picture. G. We even trust strangers when we travel to and from school or work. 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.

Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do. I thought that we would just be passing our 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 (分配) 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. I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had totally given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
