12.On the site of the 9/11tragedy,Irish university professor Elizabeth Stinger Keefe found an image of hope-a wedding photo of a happy couple and their friends lay among the rubble(瓦砾) of the Twin Towers.As a gesture of goodwill,she decided to try and reunite the picture with either its owner or a relative.
Every year,on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks,she would make an attempt,posting the picture on social media and asking others to share it.Finally,after a remarkable 13years,her work paid off.Thanks to the power of social media,her appeal was more widely shared than ever before.
A man named Fred Mahe called Ms Keefe after the image went viral-to tell her that he was in fact in the picture and that all six people photographed were alive and well.He said that the image belonged to him and had been lost in the rubble after 9/11.The photo was originally taken at a friend's wedding in Colorado,earlier in 2001.Mahe said,"The picture was at my desk in the world Trade Center,Tower Two,on the 77th floor.I never thought it could have been kept safe by Keefe for the last 13years."
Mahe said that he was in touch with Keefe over the phone and described the conversation as"dedication and persistence"to continue to seek the owner of the photo."She kept my photo safe for 13years in her favorite Ernest Hemingway book,A Moveable Feast."Mahe said he wasn't yet at work as the attacks began on 9/11,and,"thankfully never got a chance to go up to my office."
And Mahe's wife has even invited Keefe to Thanksgiving dinner.Now the pair have reconnected with a piece of their past as Keefe has finally returned the picture to its rightful owner and has made a new friend in the process.
21.Why did Keefe want to keep the picture she found?B
A.Because it was her friend's picture.
B.Because she wanted to find its owner.
C.Because she herself was in the picture.
D.Because it brought back good memories.
22.The underlined phrase"went viral"in Paragraph 3probably meansA.

C.became clearer        D.disappeared suddenly
23.Mahe's experience with 9/11can be described asD.
A.inspiring        B.dangerous        C.mysterious       D.fortunate
24.What is the correct order of the events that happened?C

分析 本文讲述的是Elizabeth Stinger Keefe 在一片废墟中找到一张照片,并试图寻找照片中人物的故事.

解答 21.B 细节理解题. 根据第一段最后一句As a gesture of goodwill,she decided to try and reunite the picture with either its owner or a relative.可知她想找到画作的主人,因此B为正确选项.
22.A  词义推断题.根据Thanks to the power of social media,her appeal was more widely shared than ever before.她想要更多的人看到,而只有当照片在网上传播开了Fred Mahe才能看到并给Keefe打电话.再结合选项,A为正确选项
23.D  细节理解题.根据第四段最后一句."Mahe said he wasn't yet at work as the attacks began on 9/11,and,"thankfully never got a chance to go up to my office."可知袭击事件发生时,她没有上班,因此没有受伤,是幸运的,故选D.
24.C  文章内容理解题.根据文章内容可知,故事以一定的时间先后顺序展开,结合选项,故选C.

3.Scientists have discovered that (61)staying(stay) in the cold could help us lose weight.Researchers at the University of California found that exposure(暴露) to the cold increases levels of a protein(蛋白) that helps form brown fat----the type of fat that produces heat and keeps us warm.Brown fat burns energy,(62)which helps us lose weight.White fat stores extra energy,which results(63)in weight gain.The researchers said that because air conditioning and heating give us constant,(64)comfortable(comfort) temperatures,our body's need for brown fat has decreased(减少).They found that:"Outdoor workers in northern Finland who (65)are exposed(expose) to cold temperature have(66)a big amount of brown fat when(67)compared(compare) to same-aged indoor workers."
The research was conducted on two different control groups of mice.(68)One group was injected(注入、注射) with the protein that helps create brown fat.This group later gained 30% less weight after both groups were fed high-fat diets.The researchers say this could be good news in the fight against obesity(肥胖).People who are obese have (69)lower(low) levels of brown fat than thinner people.Head researcher Hei Sook Sul said:"This protein could become an important target for research into the treatment and prevention of obesity and obesity-related diseases."She added:"If you can somehow increase levels of this protein,you could (70)possibly(possible) lose more weight even if eating the same amount of food.
3.
There are few places in the world with people as friendly and scenery as beautiful as the Philippines.Of the 7,107islands that make up the archipelago nation(群岛国家),Boracay is one that has some of the best beaches the country-or even Asia-has to offer.
Boracay is a great choice for a beach holiday,especially if you're trying to escape the cold claws of winter.A lot is packed on the island,which is not much bigger than 10square kilometers.It has many charms and attractions for the most active traveler,as well as the biggest beach bum(冲浪爱好者).
It also caters to a variety of budgets.With everything from low-key guesthouses to five-star resorts,local fare to gourmet meals(餐要大餐),travelers will be able to spend as-much or as little as they want.And like many destinations in Asia,bargaining will help you get better prices on accommodation,leisure activities,shopping and dining.
The majority of accommodations can be found along the western side of the island,along White Sand Beach and Bulabog Beach.The southern part of the beach,called Station Three,caters more to backpacker crowds,and prices tend to increase the farther you go up the beach.Station Two,5to 10 minutes on foot from Station Three,is the center of the island's pulsing nightlife.Another 10 minutes up from Station Two is Station One,where you'll find the resort hotels and a more relaxed,comforting atmosphere.
The island's lookout point is arguably the best place for panoramic(全景的)views of Boracay and its neighboring islands.Just a few moments of breathtaking scenery and fresh sea air will rejuvenate(使精神焕发)you and make you feel you never want to leave.
There are organized trips to nearby islands,one of the most popular being Ariel's Point.The Boracay Beach Club resort,which owns the island,plans outings to Ariel's for a minimum of 14 people each trip.Visitors can have a day of cliff-jumping,snorkeling and barbecues.
An alternative-and a sure way to see and do what you want-is to hire a boat.Ride around
Boracay,stop at a restaurant frequented by locals,visit the neighboring islands,find a good snorkeling spot or fthd a beach where you can appreciate Boracay's unspoiled beauty.Countless boat operators offer their services along the shore.Rental is typically 500pesos($12)an hour.
Another must-do is a sailboat ride at sunset.White Sand and Bulabog Beaches are lined with sailboats,and there's nothing quite like watching the sun descend against the backdrop of a blue sea and sky.There's very little that will top this bonding moment with nature.
To round up the day,head out for a tasty meal.Because of Boracay's countless international visitors,almost every major food type is available.There's New York-style pizzas,burgers galore,Mexican treats,Thai favorites,as well as Japanese udon noodles.
There's plenty more to love and appreciate about Boracay.With its small,cozy atmosphere and welcoming people,it's one destination not to pass up for that romantic getaway,family trip or holiday with friends.

2.What is your relationship like with your mobile phones?Do you use it for calls?Texts,social media,games,apps,internet or all of the above?I use my phone for work,pleasure,and socializing.It's the first thing I pick up in the morning and the last thing I put down before I go to sleep.I even find it hard to put it face-down on the table while eating in fear someone"needs me".
   In recent years,mobile phones have become a popular part of our lives.In England in the year 2013,that number had jumped to 94 percent.
One reason why this may be the case is that,while in the past,technology was used on the environment it was built for---for example,TV for relaxing or computer in the office---mobile phones have bridged the gap,so we can relax,work or interact wherever and whenever we want.
  No wonder so many of us see our mobile phones as an extension of ourselves and wouldn't dare leave it at home.
  While the number of mobile phone users has climbed,so has the number of people becoming addicted to technology.A study by researchers states,"significant mental and physical disorder,panic,confusion and extreme loneliness when forced to unplug from technology for an entire day."
  One day of non-usage of technology produced systems similar to drug withdrawal.So why have so many of us been so seduced that we can't stand being without technology?
  Having thought about my own phone usage,I thought to myself,"What would actually happen if I didn't use it?If I didn't connect on social media,would I have the same"mental and physical disorder"as the students in the study?"
  I think this would be a great learning experience to see exactly how much technology has affected our lives.
  So,I decided I would do three days of no mobile or social media.How would I cope?
