There was a large desert in Africa with no sign of 16 except a little rose. There was not a bird or tree in sight. The sand dunes(沙丘) became piles of burning coal as the days 17 .

People can't live without water. So it's important for everyone to save water. Here are some tips for saving water.Indoors:● Turn the tap off while you are brushing your teeth, washing your hands, doing dishes, taking a shower and so on.● Catch the cold water that com es out of the tap or shower while you are waiting for the hot water. Use it to water plants or wash your toilet.● Don't wash clothes too often. When you use the washing machine, make sure there is not only a pair of pants in it.Outdoors:● Wa ter the garden and grass at night. This gives water more time to get into the earth without evaporation from the day's heat.● Plant small trees under big trees. This will help stop evaporation and gives some shade(树阴) for your plants. You can also plant a shade garden under trees.( ) 26.

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!( ) 29. In the first paragraph, the author mainly talks about her ___________.A．interests B．daily life C．schoolwork D．family gathering ( ) 30.

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.( )32. 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.( )33. The underlined sentence “two black holes crashing into each other” is used to express ________.A. how the universe begins to existB. how gravitational waves formC. how new black holes appearD. how the earth is affected( )34. 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.( )35. With the discovery of gravitational waves, we’ll ___________.A. create a new worldB. make full use of gravitational wavesC. understand the universe in a new wayD. avoid being hit by black holes四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）A）根据句意，用所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词。
