A

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

B.The photographer of the photo of Margery. C.A neighbour of Mr Hannant. D.A reader of WHT.

B

In the world of Chinese archaeology(考古学), a sign of a dig's importance is the sight of Zhou Mingsheng at work. A field technician who has worked at archaeological sites all aroundChina. Master Zhou iscredited with the gentlest touch in his profession. Born into a farming family, he is a “national-level craftsman” with a talent for using simple tools to get relics(遗物) that wouldcrumblein other hands, says his current boss, Wang Xu, director of an archaeological site at Shuanghuaishu, a Neolithic(新石器时代的) settlement near the Yellow River in the central province of Henan.

It is not beauty that attracts visitors to Shuanghuaishu. At 5,300 years old, the settlement is the work of a culture too simple to have left behind many buried treasures. The single most precious find, to date, is a finger-length sculpture of a silkworm. Nor is the setting lovely: an area surrounded by deafening insects, between a highway and two power stations. Rather, the site's importance is historical. For since the birth of Chinese archaeology in the 1920s, it has been inseparable from claims thatChinahas the oldest unbroken civilisation on Earth.

Leading archaeologists say that the site has the right combination of location, age and distinctive cultural elements to be the capital of an early Chinese kingdom. That would make it a bridge betweenChina's written history and the era of the Yellow Emperor, who is said to rule over these central plains almost 5,000 years ago, though many foreign scholars doubt his existence. Chinese media call the site proof ofChina's 5,000 years of history.

Foreigners complain about a lack of written records, Mr. Wang notes. Perhaps they are missing symbols that will one day be understood, for instance in patterned pottery. Outsiders “can't keep using Western standards to apply to Chinese ruins,” he argues.

4. What does the underlined word “crumble” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Break. B. Start. C. Wait. D. Shine. 5. Why does Shuanghuaishu attract visitors?

A. It has appealing scenery. B. It has various precious treasures.

C. It is of great historical significance. D. It is easily accessible. 6. What is Mr. Wang's attitude towards foreigners’ view?

A. Unconcern. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Not mentioned. 7. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Chinese history amazes the world. B. Chinese archaeology catches on. C. China follows its tradition. D.Chinadigs its past.

C

A teenager in Georgia will no longer have to walk 7 miles to work after school thanks to one woman’s act of kindness.

Jayden Sutton, a high school senior, went on foot each day from school to his job at a restaurant and then back home. Sutton was determined to work and make enough money to eventually buy his own vehicle.

Sutton said he’d leave school at 3:30 pm, then walk miles to his job at the restaurant. After his work, which usually lasted six to eight hours, he walked home, sometimes not arriving back until almost midnight.

That all changed when Myers saw him walking down the road in the rain in December. “The young man was insistently in a rush walking to work, saying ‘I can’t be late,’” Myers said. “He begged me to give him a ride. I told him I could take him as far as I was going. I began to create small talk along the way. It wasrevealedto me that his name was Jayden, 12th grader, worked 40 hours a week, walked 5 miles to work immediately after school, got off at 10:30 pm at night and walked back home another 5 miles if co-workers didn’t offer a ride.”

After dropping Sutton off, Myers said his heart and determination filled her with tears. “He was smiling in good spirits and that’s a child worth blessing,” she told Fox News. So, Myers shared Sutton’s story on the GoFundMe page, which raised more than $ 9, 000 from 186 donors.

She surprised Sutton with a new car after she managed to convince the general manager to drop the price of the vehicle to meet the budget.

8. Why did Sutton work so hard in his spare time?

A. To gain working experience. B. To pay for his education. C. To own a car. D. To support his family. 9. What difficulty did Sutton have in his work at the restaurant?

A. He worked longer than other workers. B. His work was too tiring. C. His job was much less paid. D. He had to walk to work. 10. What does the underlined word “revealed” in paragraph 4 mean?

A. Known. B. Attached. C. Believed. D. Limited. 11. What do we know about the money donated online? A. It could buy more than a new car. B. It was not enough to buy a new car.

C. It was given to Myers to buy herself a new car. D It mainly came from a car sales manager.

Why do you check social media? Is it to keep up with everything that your friends and family are doing? Is it to find new trendy spots to eat?Regardless of the reason, you may find yourself with different degrees of envy or discomfort after a quick look at your phone. Then you might be suffering from a phenomenon known as “Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). ”

While the phenomenon of FOMO can be traced back for centuries, it had never been the issue as it is today, causing widespread discussion and research. This rise in checking social media is naturally connected to the increasing leading position that social media holds over our lives. Every time someone opens their WeChat Moments, Facebook, Twitter... etc. , they are bombarded with the highlight reels of other peoples' lives. A sunny beach, delicious-looking food, a super cute kitten-they are all uplifting photos, yet they're very likely to bring about more unhappiness than joy. You see, the first thought to come out of your mind may be “Wow, that's so cool/delicious/cute”, but then it takes a hard U-turn. You're thinking: “I wish I were there” or “my life is so boring compared to his/hers.” The more you see, the more likely you are to have these negative feelings.

What's worse is the habit many people have of turning to social media in search of happiness when they are feeling down, not realizing that they are just going to end up in a negative cycle of endless disappointment. Montesquieu once said: “If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.”

FOMO will go hand in hand with dissatisfaction and envy. Appreciate what you already have, because someone else out there in the world would gladly give everything to be you. 12. What is the purpose of the questions in paragraph 1?

A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To explain the function of FOMO. C. To describe the features of FOMO. D. To give the reasons for checking social media. 13. How might people feel seeing other's perfect life through social media?

A. Joyful. B. Admiring. C. Comfortable. D. Envious.

14. What can we conclude from Montesquieu's words in paragraph 3? A. We could turn to social media for happiness. B. We couldn't realise our dream without hard work. C. We couldn't harvest happiness through comparison. D. We could live better than others by showing ourselves online. 15. What is the author's attitude towards FOMO?

A. Indifferent. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeful. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
