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.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 fordementia, 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 treatment, then this needs to be taken into consideration when recruiting participants for clinical trials of prospective treatments and when interpreting the results of these trials,” Tyas said, adding there’s no cure for most causes of dementia, so prevention is key.8．About mild cognitive impairment, which is consistent with the study?A．It surely results in dementia.B．It is an early stage of dementia.C．It will stop people's daily action.D．It doesn’t surely lead to dementia.9．How is one’s cognitive reserve assessed?A．Through personal income.B．Through social frequency.C．Through his education.D．Through personal relationship.10．What is the most significant to do with dementia?A．Early prevention.B．Medical care.C．Proper cure.D．Specific medicine.11．What is the main idea of the text?A．People with cognitive impairment show cognitive decline.B．Age and genetics are established risk factors for dementia.C．A study focuses on the consequence of cognitive impairment.D．Higher education and language skills may help stop dementia.Researchers from The University of Queensland(UQ) have helped design an app to protect birds at risk of extinction across the world by breaking down language barriers between scientists. The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide a “birds eye view”, ensuring vital information is shared to improve worldwide conservation.UQ’s Dr Pablo Negret said the research team analysed more than 10,000 bird species, and found that 1,587 species have 10 languages or more spoken within their distributions. “Scientificinformation on species can be spread across different languages, but valuable information can go missing or get lost in translation,” Dr Negret said. “Without enough sharing of information, this can affect the effectiveness of conservation measures.”Take the common bird pochard for example. It is classified as vulnerable species(易危种) and crosses 108 countries in Europe, Asia and north Africa, where a total of 75 official languages are spoken. The survival of the common pochard, and so many other species, depends on effective cooperation and policy agreements among people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.This app reveals where threatened and migratory birds(候鸟) exist geographically, in relation to the language spoken in those regions. “We hope the app will encourage researchers and conservation organisations to interact with their peers in other regions, especially if they speak different languages, and be a starting point to allow everyone to work together to protect threatened species,” Dr Negret said.Dr Tatsuya Amano, a researcher and the co-author of the paper, said this work could extend further than bird species. “Any species, whether they're mammals, amphibians(两栖动物), or plants, with a range crossing multiple countries will be impacted by language barriers, as well as species that migrate across different countries, such as marine species and butterflies,” he said. “The significance of the impact of poor communication on such an important issue is evident, and is the reason why we’re working hard to improve science communication across languages.”12．How can the app help scientists globally?A．By creating language barriers.B．By building language bridges.C．By sharing learning methods.D．By breaking down race barriers. 13．What is the function of adequate sharing of information?A．Ensuring the effectiveness of protective measures.B．Helping people know more about scientists' efforts.C．Spreading knowledge of the diversity of birds worldwide.D．Compromising the effectiveness of conservation measures.14．What is shown on the app?A．The producer of the app.B．The organizations involved.C．The location of endangered birds.D．The information of new geographers.15．What can be the best title for the text?A．Birds Protection Is an Urgency B．New Bird App Spreads Its WingsC．New Bird App Helps Learn Languages D．Poor Communication Impacts CooperationPreparations for Beginners Before Starting Tennis LessonsAs a beginner stepping into the world of tennis, it’s important to be well-prepared to make the most of your learning experience. Tennis is a physically and mentally challenging sport, but with the right mindset and preparation, you can set yourself upfor success. 16 .Get the Right Gear17 . A good tennis racket is essential—choose one that is lightweight, has a comfortable grip, and is suitable for your skill level.

Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect they have on nature.H said，"The biggest issue is the damage to habitats and poaching".Besides that，it is due to the demand from the rich

culture."Education is very limited，" he said. "And in terms of legal enforcement，only one organization is standing out，and that is the Wildlife Alliance." He noted that the group had carried out a number of successful crackdowns against hunting.But there were few major campaigns on wildlife hunting.as a whole.Protected areas within forests have disappeared at the same rate as forests in other parts of the country Poaching and hunting have led to the loss of animal and plant species in Cambodia.To Chantha Nasak，a wildlife expert，the damage to wildlife habitats is the main reason for the decrease in the number of wild animals.He says the destruction of forests and the use of land for agricultural and other purposes are the biggest threats，as well as the climate change.However.there are already agreements between some NGOs and the Cambodian government to help wild species.Also，Chantha Nasak says some communities are working together to protect wildlife around the country."All Cambodian citizens should join hands in the protection of wildlife，not just the NGOs and the government，" he said. "It should be everyone."（1）What problem did Suy meet in his photography work？A.Cambodians have a poor knowledge of protecting wildlife.B.Cambodians are lacking their culture of hunting.C.Cambodians like major campaigns on hunting wildlife.D.Cambodians have limited education about hunting.（2）How do the rich find wild meat in Cambodia？A.It contains high nutrition.B.It is free of chemicals.C.It tastes delicious and fresh.D.It is a symbol of social positions.（3）What is the main factor in leading to the decrease in wild animals Chantha thinks ？A.The climate change.B.The wild meat trade.C.The damage to wildlife habitats.D.The still-not-prohibited hunting.（4）What is the main idea of the text？A.A Cambodian is teaching the hunting culture.B.A photographer has a good knowledge of wildlife.C.A photographer is struggling with poachers.D.A Cambodian photographer urges to protect wildlife.阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Now, tell me！”I was scared and 44_ and didn’t know what to say and tears came immediately into my eyes.Then the most unforgettable time in my life came. “Maybe he can be a boxing referee one day. That 45 only needs him to count from ‘ONE’to ‘NINE’, which may46 him well.” Ms King looked into my eyes and firmly said.Now, I am in my forties, and can you believe it that thanks to Ms King, I am really a well-known boxing 47 of WBO(World Boxing Organization),and that I do need to count only from “ONE”to “NINE”?

This has been the first obvious increase since 2001.American schools last fall had 583,000 foreign students. The record is 586,000. That was set in 2002 after many years of gains. But after that the numbers fell. The terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001 led to more visa (签证) requirements. Now stronger efforts are being made to get more foreign students to study in the United States.China remained in second place in front of South Korea but behind India, which sent almost 84,000 students last fall. The number of Japanese fell sharply by nine percent, although it remained in fourth place.There were three percent drops from Indonesia and Kenya, the only African country in the top twenty last year. But there were obvious increases from Saudi Arabia, Nepal and Vietnam. The number of Saudi students more than doubled, rising to nearly eight thousand.For a sixth year, the University of Southern California in Los Angeles had the most foreign students. Columbia University in New York was second. Other schools in the top five were New York University, the University of Illinois and Purdue University.Unlike American students in other countries, who often choose history and language study, the leading area of study in the USA was business and management. Second was engineering.The new report also says more than 220,000 Americans studied in other countries. That was during the 2005-2006 school year. It was a record number, and an increase of eight and a half percent from the year before. But only five percent of them stayed for a full year.66. After 2002, the number of foreign students in the USA fell mainlybecause ____.A. Americans were worried that foreign students might attack themB. few American universities welcomed students from abroadC. their own countries could offer them a better educationD. it was harder for foreign students to get permission to study in the USAWhich of the following Asian countries has the largest number of students studyingin the USA?A.

Kenya is the only African country that has students in the USAB. now foreign students are encouraged to study in the USAC. the number of students studying in America always increasesD. the number of foreign students in the USA will keep increasing in the future70. In which section of a newspaper could you most probably read this passage?A. Culture.B. Science.C. Education.D. Business.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.A bicycle helmet is a helmet intended to be worn while riding a bicycle．They are designed to reduce impacts to the skull(头颅骨) of a cyclist in falls．However, there is a debate on whether helmets are useful for road cyclists．The World Health Organization promotes the use of helmets as a strategy for preventing people' s heads from being injured by bicycle crashes or falls．Use of cycling helmets is supported by numerous groups in the United States. US-based cycling activist John Forester suggests that helmet wearing could prevent 300 deaths a year in the United States out of a total of 1530 preventable deaths．Public Health Law Research reports that there is enough evidence to establish that bicycle helmet laws are an effective public health intervention(干涉)aimed to reduce the number of head-related deaths．Received opinion in some countries is that bicycle helmets are useful and that every cyclist should wear one. Professional bodies elsewhere have agreed, such as the Swiss Council for Accident Prevention．Mayer Hillman, a transport and road safety analyst from the UK, does notsupport the use of helmets, reasoning that they are of very limited value in the event of a collision（碰撞） with a car. He compares it to drawing conclusions on whether it is worthwhile to buy lottery tickets. Cyclists' representative groups complain that focus on helmets diverts(转移) attention from other issues which are much more important for improving bicycle safety, such as road danger reduction．The UK's largest cyclists' organization, the CTC, believes that the "overall health effects of compulsory helmets are negative.'' The same report estimated(估计) that universal helmet use would save the life of one child aged 0 to 15 each year．Up to now, the debate is with no consensus（共识）, but an organization has published a review of studies in 2011, saying there is a good deal of evidence that those wearing a helmet are more likely to crash than bareheaded cyclists．to the information given in the passage.I've seen people do all kinds of things to relieve anxiety. Some havea glass of wine at dinner. Others shop or eat．But these are troublingtimes with hurricanes, tsunamis, war, and acts of terrorism —and ifdrinking, eating, or hitting the mall is your way offending off anxietyover the state of the world, you should know that the bill will eventuallycome due．And I don't mean just the credit card statement．Such copingmethods do nothing to build your inner strength and resilience（弹性）．Fortunately, there are ways to nurture（培养）true inner peace whenouter peace isn't an option．A few months ago, a woman called Nancy attended one of my seminars．Nancyhad been through hard times. Three years earlier her house had burneddown; then her husband's National Guard unit shipped out to Iraq, andwhen he returned he was angry, depressed, and shocked．The couple gottreatment yet grew further apart until, finally, her husband asked fora divorce．Nancy realized she had a choice: She could drown in self-pityor move forward．After seeing how the trauma（心灵创伤）of war had tornup her husband, she wanted to make a difference with her life．So, at35, she enrolled （注册学习）in a nursing school．I think even Nancy was surprised by her resilience．But her leap intoa life of greater meaning came from a simple change in outlook．She shiftedher focus from her own problems to the difficulties of others．And thatone change brought her clarity and peace．This time of global uncertainty challenges each of us to create our ownsense of security．That doesn't mean you need to follow Nancy's lead intoa nursing career, but keeping an eye on what really matters will helpyou maintain your balance when things around you seem to fall apart．List at least three common coping methods when people come down with anxiety．（No more than 7 words）_______________________________________________________________How did Nancy's husband feel when he returned? （No more than 6 words）What choice did Nancy make after her husband asked for a divorce?（No more than 13 words）How should we relieve our anxiety according to the writer?（No more than 15 words）Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.近来你们学校正准备创建和申报“省绿色学校”请你据此给某英文报写一篇短文内容包括※建设绿色校园的重要性……※绿色校园不仅是指绿色的环境……※为了建设绿色校园我们应该……注意 1、词数100左右2、可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯 3、开头语已为你写好,不计入总词数。

Owner Rocky said he was shocked to see someone had written his store to apologize for stealing chicken! Along with the note were two $1 bills in order to repay for the chicken this “thief” took from the buffet line! Wow! Talk about an honest cheat!There was no return address on the envelop and Rocky says he wishes he knew who this fried chicken snatcher (小偷) was! Not so he could catch her and bring her to justice but rather because he’d like to give her some free food! Rocky said, “It seems as if her conscience got the best of her. I really wish I knew who it was. I would buy her a few meals.”The unknown moral letter writer explained just what went down while she was visiting the fast food restaurant, admitting, “This $2 is for the piece of chicken I brought home with me on Tuesday. That’s stealing. Sorry! I took more on my plate than I could eat and I kn ew it would get thrown away there because it couldn’t get put back on the buffet, so I put it in my purse and brought it home. I do love your chicken!”She then asked for the restaurant’s forgiveness, since she felt someone else had already forgiven her. S he said, “Anyway, God has forgiven me and I hope you will too. I will not be so quick to take so much next time. ” Lady, you are MORE than forgiven! You are on your way to being great!8. How did the “thief” apologize to Rocky?A. She sent him an email.B.

It can be inferred from the text that the writer _______. .A. disliked the ladyB. didn’t forgive the ladyC. appreciated the lady a lotD. had deep pity on the ladyDAstronauts on shorter shuttle missions（使命）often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the InternationalSpace Station（ISS）. ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, internet phone and through private video conferences.While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS , giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing （冲浪）”in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out of the window and stare at the universe and the Earth’s vast land mass and oceans.12. What doe s the word “mimic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. findB. loseC. changeD. copy13. Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS ?A.
