13．I set out to help clean up the beach after a violent storm a year ago．The sight I saw was heartbreaking．The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly．I couldn't describe how I felt．But something special among the debris （廢墟） turned my day around．
I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November．As I removed the debris from the beach，I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand．It was a jacket，and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume．After picking it up，I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point （西點軍校），the United States Military Academy，and it had the name"deGavre"written inside．I realized the jacket might be important to someone．I decided to find the jacket's owner and return it．
I called the West Point Museum，considering that if the family couldn't be found，the jacket should go there．The museum connected me with Kim McDermott，Director of Communications for the Academy's Association of Graduates．Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre，who was a 1933graduate and a war hero，but passed away in 1993．
I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page，asking if anyone could help us find the family．In less than two hours，someone had found and called the hero's wife，Teresa．Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family，their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook．
Finding Chester deGavre's jacket and connecting to his family with the help of Facebook have been so meaningful to me．I've formed a bond with amazing people I might have never met．

解答 24．B 推理判斷題．根據第一段第2-4句The sight I saw was heartbreaking．The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly．I couldn't describe how I felt．可知，海灘的景象令人心碎，破房子好像在哭泣．作者通過寫景來烘托自己的心情，破敗的景象暗示了作者難過的心情．故選B．
25．B 細節理解題．根據第二段第3句It was a jacket，and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume．可知，作者發現這件夾克時很高興，因為想把它用在即將到來的萬圣節活動中．故選B．
26．A 細節理解題．根據第三段第1句I called the West Point Museum，considering that if the family couldn't be found，the jacket should go there．可知，作者打電話給西點軍校是想，如果找不到失主，就應該把夾克送到西點軍校的博物館里．故選A．

點評 細節理解題，可根據題干中的關鍵詞到文中去尋求答案．如25和26題，分別抓住a jacket和called the West Point Museum，再到原文中去找尋相關信息就可以了．；推理判斷題，要聯系相關語句進行推理判斷字里行間所隱藏的信息．如24題，需注意以景抒情的手法．
