But if it happens, you should know how to get help. The telephone book in the United States has emergency numbers on the inside front cover. Look at the following table from the Boston telephone book. Notice that the numbers for the police and the fire department (部门) are the same. And it is an easy number to remember. If you are too unhappy or excited to remember any numbers at all, you can simply dial (拨打) “0” for an operator (接线员) in any emergency.‎ ‎ EMERGENCY NUMBERS FIRE POLICE DOCTOR BOSTON 911 BOSTON 911 BOSTON 482-5252 CAMBRIDGE 876-5800 CAMBRIDGE 846-1212 CAMBRIDGE 856-3585 SOMERVILLE 023-1500 SOMERVILLE 645-1212 SOMERVILLE 025-4774 Other Places _________ Other Places _________ Other Places ________  Write in your number here Write in your number here Write in your number here ★ COAST GUARD 223-6978 OR DIAL “0” (OPERATIOR) IN ANY EMERGENCY WE ARE ALWAYS THERE AND READY TO HELP!‎ ‎（ ▲ ）51.

A. a sports magazine B. an emergency leaflet  C. a TV guide D. a telephone book B In today's world life is fast. If you don't slow down to enjoy it, you will definitely miss something. I've got two young boys and I have been an elementary school teacher up until recently. Days were busy. Get the boys ready for school and daycare. Work a full day. Pick them up after school. Cook dinner. Do housework. Get the boys into bed and before I knew it, the day was over! Time for me to hit the sack and do it all over again the next day!‎ Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't change anything. The boys are great. Everyone just gets stuck in these daily things and forget about fun until that one vacation week a year. Everyone needs a break and should have fun all year round. Just set aside one day a week and just go and do something. There are so many fun family things to do that won't use up your money. You don't need to go to that theme park and spend a month's salary on one day. A nice day at the park or museum can entertain everyone. There are nearby state parks that you can easily run out to and camp in for under $50 for the whole family. How about family movie night? What about family video game night? There are so many ideas that folks seem to forget about. I encourage you to take a look at Modern Frugal Family. You can find all sorts of fun stuff to do with the family and search for all sorts of bargains. I know you will come up with some great ideas. If you do, you can share them with everyone. So get out there and enjoy life!‎ ‎（ ▲ ）54. In the first paragraph, the author mainly talks about her ___________.‎ A．interests B．daily life C．schoolwork D．family gathering ‎（ ▲ ）55.

It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the universe.‎ The idea was that the waves are like waves in space, caused by some of the violent and energetic processes in the universe. For example, two black holes crashing into each other.‎ Now a group of scientists, including ones from Caltech, MIT and the LIGO Scientific, Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves.‎ David Reitze is the executive director of the LIGO observatory at Caltech.‎ ‎“We have detected gravitational waves. We did it!”‎ What are these gravitational waves?‎ Well, imagine throwing a rock into a pond. When the rock hits the flat surface of the water, it creates waves. Space-time is like the surface of the water. So that means gravitational waves are like the waves moving out from where the rock hits the water.‎ It might be hard to understand, but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space. And when they get to the Earth, the waves pass through, and they contract and expand the planet as the waves go by.‎ It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable.‎ But these are not huge waves. They are very, very small, which is why it took so long to find them. You cannot see them with your eyes. They are smaller than the size of an atom.‎ How did the scientists find them?‎ They used a giant scientific tool called LIGO, which stands for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. The billion-dollar LIGO project is two L-shaped observatories. One is in Louisiana and the other in Washington state.‎ For years, scientists have been watching two black holes in another faraway galaxy. The two were spinning around each other, moving closer and closer together. When they finally crashed into each other, it was with such power and force that gravitational waves rang throughout the universe, like a giant bell.‎ Those waves, traveling at the speed of light, finally reached the Earth, some l. 3 billion years later. They are the same waves that the scientists announced this past week.‎ So, what does this discovery mean?‎ Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically.‎ ‎（ ▲ ）57. What are gravitational waves about?‎ A. About the workings of the universe.  B. About how black holes form.‎ C. About how the universe began.     D. About how the waves form on the surface of water.‎ ‎（ ▲ ）58. The underlined sentence “two black holes crashing into each other” is used to express _____.‎ A. how the universe begins to exist    B. how gravitational waves form C. how new black holes appear     D. how the earth is affected ‎（ ▲ ）59. Why are gravitational waves difficult to find ?‎ A. Because they are too small.     B. Because they are far away.‎ C. Because they seldom occur.     D. Because they have disappeared.‎ ‎（ ▲ ）60. With the discovery of gravitational waves, we’ll ___________.‎ A. create a new world       B. make full use of gravitational waves C. understand the universe in a new way     D. avoid being hit by black holes ‎ 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 共50分)‎ 五、词汇运用（共15小题，每小题1分，共15分）‎ A. 根据汉语提示或音标完成句子（每空一词）。‎ ‎61.Changes of price in the 1990s ▲ (标志)the beginning of the fast development age of TV. ‎ ‎62.

To deal with the population problem, our government decided to have one-child policy (政策). After the policy was carried out for some time, while it did help to c 77 the population growth, problems like aging also became clear. So all Chinese c 78 were told that they could be allowed to have two children. As the one-child policy came to an end, many Chinese children, i 79 you may have a brother or sister in the future.‎ But what would your l 80 be like growing up with a brother or a sister? ‎ Having a brother or sister can keep you away from some bad f 81 , such as loneliness and fear.

Trump was a child full of energy when he was young. He graduated from Penn in May 1968 with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and then began to do business.‎ It took nearly 18 months to win the election. Finally the result of the United States presidential election came out on Nov 8 local time. Donald Trump, the Republican candidate(候选人) beat Hillary Clinton. He will take office on Jan 20, 2017 and become the 45th president of the US.‎ Last year when Trump said he was to run for president, not many people took it seriously. Trump had no experience in government and had never even run for office before. He was a rich businessman and once hosted a TV show.‎ During the election, he also offended (冒犯) many people. He said things that were seen as politically incorrect and racist (种族主义的). He wanted to build a wall to stop Mexican people from moving to the US. He also called for a ban on Muslims going into the US because of terrorism (恐怖主义). He said rude things about women. However, Trump’s supporters think he is a “plain-speaking” man and is “not afraid to offend”. ‎ Trump used the slogan “make America great again” during the entire election. And to make that happen, he said “I will always put the interests of American people and American security first”. He said he would not rush to war. He also said he would bring China into line and get back America’s jobs and wealth. ‎ Since Trump has now made it to the White House, will he serve his term well?
