【详解】考查非谓语。

句意：新疆新建的抗震房屋在过去七年中已经抵御了30多次5.0级以上的地震。

分析句子可知，本空格在句中修饰30 earthquakes（地震），而earthquakes与动词measure二者逻辑上是主谓关系，即“地震的测量等级是……”，因此要用动词的ing形式，B和D是被动的，to measure，是主动关系，但表示目的或将来时，也不对，因此只有measuring符合题意，故选A。

21. Have you got a Facebook account? Are you thinking of getting one? Jamie Simmonds has just signed up. Let's see how she's getting along.
My Diary
MONDAY: I'm officially a Facebooker. I find a few people I used to know and I've soon got seven friends. I've never felt so popular! I wonder if my old university flatmate Steve is on here…What do you know! He is! Maybe Facebook has its uses.
TUESDAY: I've received lots of nice welcoming messages on my wall. Later, I meet up with Steve for a drink after not seeing him for five years. We get on really well! Then, he uses his Facebook app for iPhone to suggest me as a friend to some other former classmates. Some of them even come to the pub and it's just like old times – possibly a bit too much like old times. During the night, photos are uploaded to Facebook.
WEDNESDAY: Disaster! My mum's on Facebook! Has she seen the photos of me dancing on the table last night? Has she shown them to dad? Oh. And I have a friend request – mum again! THURSDAY: There's a message from my boyfriend, “so, it's over then, is it?” Obviously I haven't changed my settings to show I'm “in a relationship”, and I haven't even added him as a friend. Ah, well, I wonder what my ex-boyfriend is doing… Whoops! I accidentally type his name into my status box instead of the search and now every one can see it on their news feed.
FRIDAY: Time to update my status: “Work is boring. Can't wait for the weekend!” Oh, look, I've received a comment! Someone must feel the same way. Lots of my friends now “like” this status. SATURDAY: Good news! I've got 100 friends But wait! Someone has “un-friended” me! I look through my “friend list” to try to work out who it was. Why did they do that? Am I really such a terrible person? I never knew Facebook could be this cruel.
SUNDAY: Wake up. Check my Facebook page. Make coffee. Check my Facebook page again. Get ready to leave. Change my mind and check my Facebook page … again. I am becoming addicted to it!
I think it's time to end it all before it takes over my life. I delete my account. Back to good, old, simple e-mails. Oh, look, I've got a message: A friend invited you to join Twitter. . .
In July 2010, Facebook had more than 500 million active users. The average Facebook user has 130 friends. Facebook is translated into more than 70 different languages. The world spends 700 billion minutes a month on Facebook. Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook page says he's a Harvard graduate, even though he actually dropped out to focus on Facebook.

B. She showed in her facebook that she was still not dating anyone.

22. If you've used Facebook today，you've probably already seen it：a big red-white-and-blue election(选举)button at the very top of your news page.Within Facebook，it's known as the voter megaphone(选民扩音器)，and this year，the company is rolling it out to every US citizen over the age of 18.But Facebook's programme has drawn a surprising amount of argument in the elections.
It started on Friday，when Mother Jones ran a whole look into the technology behind the megaphone.Thanks to some software mistakes，the 2012 megaphone didn't end up reaching everyone.
The net effect should have been more voters across the board，but the combination has raised criticism about the potential political effects.While some people think it is helpful.
Facebook，for its part，says that all it wants i s to get people to vote.“Our effort is neutral(中立的)，” said a company spokesperson，“while we encourage voters to use our programme to focus on the elections，we as a company have not used our products in a way that attempts to influence how people vote.”
Facebook drew criticism this summer for changing news pages as part of a psychology experiment，and finally carried on new research guidelines as a result of the argument.The company says the 2012 experiment is in agreement with the new guidelines，and says that it isn't boosting(宣传)any messages about the parties，only general news content.
In other words，Facebook is already a powerful political tool，however it ends up being used.That's not terribly surprising by itself－there are hundreds of political science studies about the importance of social connection in voting behaviour－but it suggests Facebook itself appears as a new political force.It's easy to imagine a time when Facebook outreach is as important to a campaign as town hall meetings or television ads.Would that be more democratic(民主的)or less？If the critics seem worried，it may be because it's too early to tell.
12．Why was the 2012 megaphone unfamiliar to some people?
A．Because of Mother Jones.
B．Because of some software mistakes.
C．Because of its ordinary name.
D．Because of lack of boosting.
13．What would Facebook probably think of the criticism?
A．The company deserves it.
B．It has nothing to do with the company.
C．It's the parties that should be responsible for that.
D．People should criticize the news instead of the company.
14．According to the passage，some people criticized Facebook this summer because it ________．A．spread messages about the parties
B．set the new guidelines
C．did physical experiments
D．changed news pages
15．What's the author's attitude toward Facebook's influence on the election?
A．Negative. B．Positive.
C．Uncertain. D．Unconcerned.
参考答案：
B B D C
【语篇解读】文章介绍了Facebook是怎样改变选举的。

解析：12.细节理解题。

根据第二段“Thanks to some software mistakes，the 2012 megaphone didn't end up reaching everyone.”可知，因为一些软件的错误，2012扩音器并没有传达给每一名美国公民。

13.推理判断题。

根据第四段内容和第五段“...and says that it isn't boosting any messages about the parties，only general news content.”可推知，Facebook认为自己没有宣传任何有关政党的消息，自己发布的就是新闻而已，因此，它和影响人们投票的批评没有任何关系。

14.细节理解题。

根据第五段首句可知，由于变更用户的消息页面来用作心理学实验，Facebook 在今夏引来了批评。

15.作者态度题。

根据最后一段“Would that be more democratic or less？If the critics seem worried，it may be because it's too early to tell.”可知作者对Facebook对选举的影响持不确定态度。
