But making the year meaningful has its rewards. These high school seniors describe their strategies (策略) for staying interested and involved in school.How are you getting the most out of senior year? I have picked up the pace by taking a stricter curriculum (课程) than in my junior year. My high school is a competitive one, so I am driven much harder to compete with my friends and to try very hard for an outstanding scholastic record.David For electives, I took Portfolio Art and Modern Poetry last semester, and Im presently taking Modern America and Photography. I want my senior year to be fun and I want to avoid senioritis (高年级倦怠症), so I took those elective classes because theyre in areas I love. Sarah Since it is the last year of high school, I am trying to be a part of as many school activities as possible.

Whenever people hear that I lived on a farm, they immediately have an image of dairy cows, tractors, hay, and overalls. But things were totally different.I wasnt on the kind of farm everyone imagines. I didnt feed cows or pigs; I didnt grow corn or wheat. I helped my mother raise llamas (羊驼). It is strange that such non-traditional livestock should be raised on a long-established farm such as ours, which has been in the family for generations. Our family did indeed raise traditional livestock for many decades. Then, fifty years ago, my great-grandfather decided to buy a llama. He must have learned that wool from llamas was more profitable than wool from sheep. The llama wool business turned out to be so successful, in fact, that my great-grandfather changed the family business to a completely-developed llama farm.Before I began to live on the farm, I had many illusions (错误的观念) about rural life. What could possibly be easier than feeding and grooming (照看) some animals? After I had settled into my new home, however, I realized that farm work was much more involved than I had expected. Collecting manure (肥料), for example, doesnt seem so bad when someone else does it on TV, but I had to get up before dawn every day to finish that chore before catching the bus to school.I dont mean to say that my life on the farm was a bad experience. I learned a lot about myself: for example, Im not a morning person. I also learned about llamas habits, such as spitting (吐唾沫) when they are unhappy. Most importantly, my mother and I got to spend a lot of time together during those years. Although I doubt Ill have a career in farming, I look forward to returning to the family farm for short visits.14. Why did the authors great-grandfather want to raise llamas?A. To please his grandchildren.B. To learn about their habits.C.To save their lives.D. To make more money.15. What did the author imagine rural life would be like?A. It would be boring and tiring.B. It would involve lots of laborers.C. It would be very easy and relaxing.D. It would be the same as what was shown on TV.16. How did the author feel about his life on his mothers farm?A. He was bored.B. He was grateful. C. He was excited.D. He was disappointed.17. What would be the best title for the text?A. Returning to a family B. Living in a big familyC. My experience on a farmD. Working on a traditional farmCYou cant imagine what happened to Heidemarie Schwermer 22 years ago, when she was a middle-aged teacher breaking away from a difficult marriage, took her two children and moved to the city of Dortmund, in Germanys Ruhr area.One of the first things she noticed was the large number of homeless people，and this shocked her so much that she decided to actually do something about it. She had always believed the homeless didnt need actual money to be accepted back into society, they only need a chance to make themselves useful, so she opened a shop called “Give and Take”It was a place where anyone could trade stuff(材料，物资) and skills for other things and skills they needed. The idea didnt really attract many of Dortmunds homeless people. Instead, her small shop was popular with many of the citys unemployed folk who were eager to trade their skills and old stuff for something they needed.Heidemarie Schwermers hop eventually became somewhat of a phenomenon in Dortmund and even caused its creator to ask herself some questions about the life she was living. She started to realize she was living with a lot of stuff she didnt really need and decided not to buy anything else without giving something away.By 1995, the shop had changed her life so much that she was spending almost nothing, as everything she needed seemed to find its way into her life. So in 1996, she took the biggest decision of her life: to live without money. Her children had moved out so she sold the apartment in Dortmund and decided to live nomadically(流浪地), trading things and services for everything she needed. It was supposed to be a 12month experiment, but she found herself loving it so much that she just couldnt give it up.15 years later, she still lives according to the principles of Give and Take, doing various chores for accommodation(膳宿) and loving every minute of it.18. What is Heidemarie Schwermers unbelievable story about?AA strong woman who brought up two young children.BA generous woman who helped the homeless people.CA smart woman who opened a shop independently.DA special woman who has given up using money for 15 years.19. Schwermer thought what the homeless actually needed was_.Adonations to improve their livesBchances to show their abilitiesCmoney to buy necessitiesDhouses to live in20. What effect did Schwermers shop eventually bring about?AThe increase of the employment rate.BHer childrens dissatisfaction.CHuge profits and fame.DThe change of her lifestyle.21 In which year did Schwermer finally decide to live her life without money?AIn 1996. BIn 1995.CIn 1989. DIn 2011.History tells us that footwear was one of the first things ancient people learned to make. Footwear helped them across rocky paths or hot sands without injuring themselves. The earliest footwear we know of was simply a piece of plaited (编织的) grass or leather tied to the feet. The ancient Egyptians seem to have invented the first footwear with a firm sole (鞋底) sandals. Egyptian royalty usually wore sandals that had a different style from those with lesser status (身份), while slaves were not allowed to wear anything on their feet. The sandal is still the basic form of footwear in many countries, particularly those with a hot climate, whereas in cold climates, an entirely different type of shoe appeared the moccasin a slipper-shaped shoe made of soft but strong leather. The Greeks were the first to develop shoes with heels (鞋跟). Then, in the Middle Ages, shoes with long points at the toe became very chic for the nobility(贵族). These shoes were often very difficult to wear. Other trends followed, with square-toed shoes, wide shoes, and even shoes that could make a woman stand two feet taller. Not surprisingly, these sometimes led to accidents. Even today, fashion rather than comfort often leads to the kind of shoes women wear. Mechanical shoemaking appeared in the 1800s in North America. Until then, shoes had been made with the same kinds of hand tools used by the ancient Egyptians. And in 1858, a machine was invented that could stitch (缝合) the sole of a shoe to the upper part. Now it was possible to make shoes that were shaped to fit either the left or right foot. Toward the end of the 1800s came a new type of shoe that was specifically designed for sports the sneaker and it soon become an all-time favorite.22. What did shoes often show in ancient times?A. The rich resources. B. Peoples status in society.C. Peoples different beliefs. D. The changeable climates.23. What does the underlined word “chic” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Fashionable. B. Convenient.C. Valuable. D. Comfortable.24. Before mechanical shoemaking appeared, _.A. shoes were often very difficult for people to wearB. all the shoe patterns made by the Greeks were the sameC. the only function of footwear was to protect peoples feetD. people wore the same-shaped shoes on their two feet 25. How does the text mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.第二节： 七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Memory Memory is the process of storing experiences in the brain and recalling them later. 26 They must remember words and ideas to speak or to write. Even to walk or to eat, people remember the movements they learned as children. Scientists know that memories cause chemical changes in the neurons (神经元) (nerve cells) in the brain. The chemical changes create what are called memory paths. These paths can remain in the brain for seconds or for a persons entire life. Many scientists believe that there are two levels of memory. 27 The other is long-term memory, or permanent memory. Short-term memory is a way to store information temporarily. It lasts about 15 to 30 seconds. An example is keeping a telephone number in mind after looking it up and while dialing. 28 It can last days, months, years, or a lifetime. Repeating and practicing motions (动作) or tasks help the brain to store information for a long time. If a person dials a telephone number many times, the number will move from short-term to long-term memory. Scientists also think that there are different types of memory. These include motor-skill, factual, and emotional memory. Motor-skill memory tells people how to do physical things that they have done before. It can be short-term or long-term. 29 Factual memory is the storage of facts. It can be short-term or long-term. Factual memory lets people remember faces, numbers, and the experiences that happen to them. 30 It is long-term. For example, people tend to remember very frightening experiences throughout their lives. Some scientists think this happens so that people are prepared for problems in the future.A. Emotional memory is the memory of emotions.B. One level is short-term memory, or working memory.C. People use their memories during every moment of their lives.D. Its easier to remember a poem that rhymes than one that doesnt.E. Long-term memory is the storage of information for longer periods.F. People use motor-skill memory to copy a dance step and to ride a bicycle.G. People can pull out information stored in memory through either recall or recognition.三、完型填空（本题共20小题，每小题1.5分，共计30分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。A conversation with a StrangerLast weekend I sat on the bus talking with excitement and so ready to spend time in New York City with one of my best friends from college.
