A brother and a sister have been reunited (重逢) after more than 60 years, thanks to a letter in the Welwynand Hatfield Times. For years John Hannant kept a photo of his long-lost sister, hoping they would meet again.

Margery, the eldest of three children, had signed up with the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort, when John was still a baby.

The family lost touch and as many years passed only a single letter gave a clue to her whereabouts (下落). The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back in touch.

John, 67, said he had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested writing to the paper.

“That’s the one that made it, the letter to the paper,” he said. “It’s like a dream that comes true. The last time we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the terrible floods. She wrote home to know if we were all right.My sister Dorothy wrote back, but Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”

Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House, Mr Hannant decided to take action.

He and his wife Doreen traveled to Margery’s home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield, which she shares with her husband Jack Cooke.

Now 88, Margery was recovering from her heart operation, but immediately recognized her brother. John said, “It’s something I never thought that was going to happen but I always hoped it would.” AS well as finding his sister, John has also discovered he now has a nephew, a niece and six grandnieces and grandnephews. 1.The headline of the news would be “________”. A.An unforgettable and moving experience B.The Hannant family lost touch because of war C.A brother and a sister reunited after 60 years D.The importance of a letter to WHT 2.Margery left her family because ________.

A.she attended the air school B.she joined the Royal Air Force C.she had to feed her family D.a big flood hit her hometown

3.Who helped the family reunite after many years? A.Margery’s husband Jack Cooke

The modern Olympics, which appeared in ancient Greece as many as 3,000 years ago, have become the world’s most important sporting competition. From the 8th century B. C. to the 4th century A. D., the the ancient Olympics were held every four years in Olympia in honor of the god Zeus. The first modern Olympics took place in1896 inAthens, and featured 280 participants from 13 nations, competing in 43 events. Since 1994, the Summer and Winter Olympic Games have been held separately every two years. The 2020 Summer Olympics, delayed one year because of the COVID-19, was held in Japan in 2021.

The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a festival honoring Zeus. The Games were named for their location (位置) at Olympia, a place near the western coast in southern Greece. Their influence was so great that ancient historians began to measure time by the Olympic Games held every four years.

After the Roman Empire conquered (征服) Greece in the mid-2nd century B.C., the Games continued, but their standards and quality dropped. For example from 67 A. D., the Emperor Nero entered an Olympic horse race, announcing himself the winner even after he fell off hishorse during the event. In 393 A. D., Emperor TheodosiusⅠended the ancient Olympic tradition.

It was another 1,500 years before the Games rose again, largely thanks to the efforts of Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) of France. Working hard at the development of physical education, the young man became inspired by the idea of creating a modern Olympic Games after visiting the ancient Olympic building. In November 1892, at a meeting of the Union des Sports Athlétiques in Paris, Coubertin suggested the idea of making the Olympics an international athletic competition held every four years. Two years later, he got the approval (批准) he needed to found the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ), which would become the governing body of the modern Olympic Games.

4. What do we know about the modern Olympics?

A. The modern Olympics became famous in the 18th century. B. The first Winter Olympics was held in 1994.

C. The first modern Olympics dates back to 1896. D. The latest Winter Olympics will delay for two years. 5. How often were the ancient Olympics held? A. Every year. B. Every other year. C. Every three years. D. Every four years. 6. When did the ancient Olympics end? A. In 393 A. D. B. In 67 A. D.

C. In the mid-2nd century B. C. D. About 1,500 years ago. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. The ancient Olympics B. The modern Olympics

C. The Olympics developed through years D. The Olympics are popular in modern time

Gerardo Ixcoy is a 27-year-old teacher in Guatemala. He teaches in the area where having electricity is something of a luxury and students have no access to mobile apps or computers, which became a problem when Guatemalan government had to choosedistance education for students at home because of COVID-19 inmid-March.

He put a roof with a solar panel(太阳能电池板)on it, along with a screen to avoid the spread of COVID-19. He fixed a whiteboard on it so he could explain to the students the basics of primary education:math, the local language and the national language Spanish.

The purpose of the solar panelis to provide constant power for a small loudspeaker so he can teach from a distance. It's a matter of respecting the healthy distance required to be safe from the virus. He, the teacher, stays outside, and the student participates from his or her house.

He tries to visit his students at least twice a week, riding his classroom — cycle. The children he serves say that, although he visits them for only a few hours a week, they look forward to it.

9. Why does the teacher stay from a distance while teaching? A. Because healthy distance is reqired. B. Because he doesn't want to see his students. C. Because he wants to show his authority. D. Because the local custom reqiries him to. 10. Where did Gerardo Ixcoy teach his students?

C. On the school playground. D. Outside his student's house. 11. What can be the best title of the story?

A. Love breaks down barriers. B. Hard work pays off. C. Time is money. D. Education is the key to success.

Even plant can run a fever,especially when they're under attack by insects or disease.But unlike human,plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up.A decade ago,adopting the infrared(红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites,physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick wayto take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress.The goal was to let farmers precisely(精确的)target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field,which always includes plants that don't have pest problems.

Evenbetter,Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye.Fixed on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night,an infrared scanner measured the heat sent out by crops.The data were transformed into a color﹣coded map showing where plants were running \"fevers\".Farmers could then spot﹣spray,using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would.

The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984,after only three years.Farmers resisted thenew technology and long﹣term supporters were hard to find.But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce and refinements(改进)in infrared scanning,Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture experts

have no doubt that the technology works.\"This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,\" says George Oerther of Texas A& M,who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture,thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade.But only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10years ago.

12. Plants will give out an increased amount of heat when they are . A. facing an infrared scanner B. sprayed with pesticides C. exposed to extreme sun rays D. inpoor physical condition

13. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely,we can use infrared scanning to . A draw a color1﹣coded map B evaluate the damage to the crops C. locate the problem area

D. measure the size of the affected area

14. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties of . A. the lack of official support B. its high cost

C. the lack of financial support D. its failure to help increase production

15. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of . A. full support from agricultural experts

B. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture C. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce D. growing concern about the over use of pesticides on crops 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
