A2. C3. A B A 99-year-old Australian swimmer appears to have broken a world record for his age group in the 50m freestyle. The likely new world record holder, George Corones, clocked 56.12 seconds at an official event in Queensland— a new benchmark for the 100-104 age category. He faded the previous record of 1:31. 19, which was set by British swimmer John Harrison in 2014, by 35 seconds. It will now be affirmed by the sports governing body. Corones, who is qualified for the record because he turns 100 in April, said he was “quite delighted” and “over the world” by the result. He said he had been overwhelmed by the “roaring” crowd on the Gold Coast on Wednesday. The event, in which he was the only entrant (新成员), had been specifically staged for him to challenge the record. Corones was a keen swimmer in his youth but only began to learn swimming again at the age of 80. He gave it up at the beginning of the World War II, and he didn’t think he would have a swim of any description until he retired. Then he started swimming again for exercise. Racing undeniably (不可否认的) challenged him physically, but it was manageable with preparation. On average he swims three times a week, and also fits in gym sessions. “At this age it takes a while to get going... you get exhausted much more easily, but if you do it properly, the rewards are astronomical,” he said. Corones will challenge the 100m freestyle record on Saturday night, believing he can beat the current mark of 03:23. 10, which was also set by Harrison. “I’m not a young man by any means, but I am really looking forward to it and confident I can do it very well,” he said. 4. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1? A. To show who John Harrison is. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To emphasize the importance of age. D. To explain the reason for writing the text. 5. What does the underlined word “astronomical” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Enormous. B. Original. C. Brief. D. Precise. 6. What does Corones plan to do next? A. Prepare for his 100th birthday party. B. Challenge Harrison again. C. Celebrate his success. D. Challenge the 100 m backstroke. 7. What does the author tell us by telling Corones’s story? A. It’s never too late to learn, B. He who laughs last laughs best. C. One good turn deserves another. D. Laziness in youth spells regret in old age. 【答案】4. B5. A6. B7. A C New research has found that people with mild cognitive impairment (认知损坏) may not necessarily develop dementia (痴呆) and, in fact, having higher education and advanced language skills more than doubles their chances of returning to normal. The study, led by researchers at the University of Waterloo, may reassure those with mild cognitive impairment as it contradicts a common assumption that the condition is simply an early stage of dementia. People with mild cognitive impairment show signs of cognitive decline, but not enough to prevent them from performing typical daily tasks. They have been considered at higher risk of progressing to the more severe cognitive decline seen in dementia. “Possessing high cognitive reserve, based on education, high academic grades, and written language skills, may predict what happens years after someone receives a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment,” said Suzanne Tyas, a professor in the School of Public Health Sciences at Waterloo and lead author. “Even after considering age, genetics and established risk factors for dementia, we found that higher levels of education more than doubled the chances that people with mild cognitive impairment would return to normal cognition instead of progressing to dementia.” The study’s findings have meanings for treatment and research in people with mild cognitive impairment. “If individuals with higher cognitive reserve are more likely to improve even without treatme
