第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解
For decades, Jean Moffatt has been reaching out over the airwaves.As an amateur radio operator, Moffatt has connected with people worldwide.“By sending signals to satellites, I've talked to people from the Arctic to the Antarctic,” Moffatt said.And on Wednesday at the Ontario Science Centre, the 96-year-old got to go even further.
An amateur radio connection allowed the senior and students to speak with Commander Luca aboard the International Space Station.By connection, Moffatt told the astronaut she was very excited, admitting that this was a bucket-list wish she had for many years.Then Moffatt asked if Luca could keep the space station clean and tidy, adding that she had done lots of cleaning in her life.
When Moffatt was a young girl, she moved to Toronto with her family, hoping there would be chances for a girl interested in science.She desperately wanted to go to university, but moving house placed a significant burden on their finances.Not discouraged, she took a course in amateur radio, then a popular technology, and shortly after she got her license.After retiring, Moffatt started volunteering at the Ontario Science Centre.Armed with her radio license, she helped set up the centre's first radio shack (无线电设备室).
The idea to connect with the International Space Station came just after Moffatt's 36th birthday.Finally after 60 years with the help of amateur radio operators and NASA, Moffatt made her connection.While the connection wasn't very clear, she was so moved to tears, telling those who had gathered to watch that it was the “highlight” of her life.
Moffatt plans to keep volunteering at the centre, introducing younger people to the older form of technology, and to keep speaking to anyone who can pick up her signal.“It's a technology even older than me and I love amateur radio,” Moffatt added.
