探究二、了解一下关于9.11和新西兰大地震的相关背景知识。
September 11th attacks (also known as 9/11)
“9?11事件”又称“9?11恐怖袭击事件”，是2001年9月11日发生在美国本土的系列恐怖袭击事件。2001年9月11日上午接近9时（北京时间11日晚接近21时） ，两架被恐怖分子劫持的民航客机分别撞向美国纽约世界贸易中心一号楼和世界贸易中心二号楼，两座建筑在遭到攻击后相继倒塌，除此之外，世界贸易中心其余5座建筑物也受震而坍塌损毁；9时许，另一架被劫持的客机撞向位于美国华盛顿的五角大楼，五角大楼遭到局部破坏，部分结构坍塌。虽然塔利班发表声明称恐怖事件与本?拉登无关 ，但美国政府仍然认定本?拉登是恐怖袭击事件头号嫌犯 。作为对这次袭击的回应，美国发动了“反恐战争”，入侵阿富汗以消灭藏匿基地组织恐怖分子的塔利班，并通过了美国爱国者法案。2001年10月7日美国总统乔治?沃克?布什宣布开始对阿富汗发动军事进攻。
“911”事件是发生在美国本土的最为严重的恐怖攻击行动，遇难者总数高达2996人。对于此次事件的财产损失各方统计不一，联合国发表报告称此次恐怖袭击对美经济损失达2000亿美元，相当于当年生产总值的2%。此次事件对全球经济所造成的损害甚至达到1万亿美元左右。
Earthquake in New Zealand
2011年2月22日中午12时51分，新西兰第二大城市克莱斯特彻奇发生里氏6.3级强烈地震，震源深度距离地表仅有4公里。新西兰警方表示，地震共造成182人遇难，成为新西兰80年来死伤最为惨重的地震。新西兰总理称其为“最黑暗的一天”。

【语境应用】

2) 这部电影以一首优美动听的歌曲结束。
The movie ______ ______ ______ a beautiful song.
3) 他工作非常努力，最终成为了一名工程师。

2. We stared in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building.
我们直愣愣地盯着燃烧着的大楼上升起的黑烟，无法相信(这一切)。P91
1) above的意思是“在…之上”，“高于…”，表示相对高度，不一定是在正上方，
它的反义词是below.
e.g. The plane flew above the clouds. 飞机在云层上面飞行。
2) over的意思是“在…之上”，表示在垂直之上，其反义词是under.
e.g. There is a bridge over the river. 河上有座桥。
3) on的意思是“在…上面”，表示与表面接触。 E.g. He put the book on the desk.
【语境应用】
1) 他双手举过头顶。He lifted his hands ______ his head.
2) 河上有座桥。There is a bridge______ the river.
3) 他把书放在课桌上。He put the book ______ the desk.
3. I felt lucky to be alive. 我觉得能够活着很幸运。P91
1) alive主要用作表语（有时可用作后置定语，但不用作前置定语），可用于人或动物。e.g. He must be still alive. 他一定还活着。
注：若 alive 本身有修饰语，则也可用作前置定语。
e.g. He is a really alive student. 他的确是一个十分活跃的学生。
2) living可用作表语或定语，可用于人或物。
e.g. Are your grandparents still living？ 你的祖父母还健在吗？
alive 和 living 表示“活着的”，两者含义很接近，只要句法适合，有时可互换。
若严格区分，两者仍有差别：living 通常是客观描述某人“尚在人间”或“健在”，而 alive 则主要指生与死的“界限”。
e.g. He was still alive when I reached the hospital. 当我赶到医院时他还活着。
3) live 通常只用作定语（前置），可用于动物或植物，但一般不用于人。如：
He bought some live fish. 他买了几条活鱼。
【语境应用】
1) 他是当今在世的最伟大的艺术家之一。
He is one of the greatest artists ______ today.
