28、lip. He took a picture of his injuries and shared it with his friends on an online forum. “And sorry about the focus,” he wrote, “it was a selfie.” That was the first recorded use of the word “selfie”, according to linguistic experts at Oxford Dictionaries.On Nov 19, Oxford Dictionaries declared “se
29、lfie” Word of the Year for 2013, in honor of the term having taken over the world thanks to millions of smart phone self-portraits and the resulting shares on social media.So what does the choice of the word say about our culture? Mary Elizabeth Williams, writing in Salon magazine, says the word rem

36、dy says. The energy waste is equivalent to the fuel use of a small country. Amanda R. Carrico, a research assistant professor at the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy and Environment in Tennessee, told National Geographic that hand washing is often “a case where people act in ways that they think are
37、in their best interest, but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions.” Carrico said, “Its certainly true that heat kills bacteria, but if you were going to use hot water to kill them it would have to be way too hot for you to tolerate.” Carrico said that after a review of the sci
38、entific literature, her team found “no evidence that using hot water that a person could stand would have any benefit in killing bacteria.” Even water as cold as 40F (4.4C) appeared to reduce bacteria as well as hotter water, if hands were scrubbed, rinsed（冲洗）and dried properly. Using hot water to w
39、ash hands is therefore unnecessary, as well as wasteful, Carrico said, particularly when it comes to the environment. According to her research, people use warm or hot water 64 percent of the time when they wash their hands. Using that number, Carricos team calculated a significant impact on the pla
40、net. “Although the choice of water temperature during a single hand wash may appear unimportant, when multiplied by the nearly 800 billion hand washes performed by Americans each year, this practice results in more than 6 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually,” she said.The resear
41、chers published their results in the July 2013 issue of International Journal of Consumer Studies. They recommended washing with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature, which they noted may be warmer in cold months and cooler in hot ones.32. Whats the meaning of what Carrico told National Geog

Generally, peoples hand washing behaviors and perceptions are not correct. D. People like washing their hands very much.3
43、3. The figures in the sixth paragraph are used to show that _. A. using hot water to wash hands has a bad influence on our planet. B. air pollution has become more and more serious. C. using hot water to wash hands is a waste of energy. D. people should pay more attention to the environment around u
44、s.34. This passage is organized in the pattern of _. A. fact and opinion B. cause and effect C. definition and classification D. time and events35. What can we learn from the passage? A. Its necessary and useful for people to wash their hands frequently every day. B. We can wash our hands with water

Hot water cant kill germs.第二节（共5题；每小题2分，满分10分） 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。第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Three Critical Truths We Forget All Too SoonSo much happens in our lives every
46、day that we often forget what we have learned. In effect, the only thing faster than the speed of our thoughts is the speed of our forgetfulness. 36 1. Small steps get you to big places.The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing simply because you can only do a little. In fact, it is far more pro
47、ductive to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a giant leap. 37 Figure out where you want to go, take a step, and keep on stepping. Diligence and persistence will get you there.2. 38 Two people can be affected by the same circumstance but respond in completely different ways. T
48、he reason is that it just depends on their attitudes. When you expect life to be unkind, it will always live up to your expectations. On the other hand, when you consider yourself to be in a fortunate situation, you will find yourself in many more. 39 3. You can only change yourself.Dont wait for so
49、meone who hurt you to make it up to you; this kind of thinking only keeps your old wounds from healing. 40 You have no control over them, and they may never change. Inner peace is found by changing your thinking, not the people who hurt you. So forgive those who have hurt you in the past, and even m
50、ore importantly, forgive yourself for allowing them to hurt you. Then smile like youve never cried re-open your heart and mind like youve never been hurt, and live the rest of your life like youre running out of time. A. Fear always exists.B. Attitude makes all the difference.C. Waiting for them to
51、change is not the answer.D. Here are some important reminders to jog your memory.E. The path to every goal requires a hundred small steps-one after the other.F. In the end, we learn even more from our failures than we do from our successes.G. Its important to remember that there is value in every si
