2.Nearing the age of 101has not slowed down one Japanese woman.In fact,in the swimming pool-she is only getting faster.Recently,a 100-year-old Japanese woman became the world's first centenarian to complete a 1,500-meter freestyle swimming competition in a 25-meter poo1.
Her name is Mieko Nagaoka.Ms.Nagaoka set a world record for her age group at a recent Japan Masters Swimming Association event in the western city of Matsuyama.She swam the race in 1hour,15minutes and 54seconds.
By comparison,the overall female world record holder completed the same distance in just under 15and a half minutes.But that swimmer,Katie Ledecky,is only 17years old.And Ms.Nagao.ka was not competing against her.In fact,Ms.Nagaoka was the only competitor in the 100-104year old category.Her race was not a race of speed but of endurance,or not giving up.
Breaking swimming records is nothing new to Ms.Nagaoka.So far she has broken 25records.But she began competing when she was much younger-at 88.
Ms.Nagaoka sufferred a knee injury in her 80s,so she began swimming to help her body recover.Since her first international swimming competition,she hasn't looked back,except maybe to see if her competition is catching up.
In 2002.at a masters swim meet in New Zealand,Ms.Nagaoka took the bronze medal in the 50-meter backstroke.In 2004,she won three silver medals at an Italian swim meet.
Masters swimming is a special class of competitive swimming to promote health and friendship among participants.Swimmers compete within age groups of five years.
Japan has a large number of people who live beyond 100years old.Until she passed away this month,the oldest person in the world was also from Japan.Misao Okawa was born in 1 898.She said her secrets for longevity,or long life,were good genes,regular sleep,sushi and exercise.

解答 12-15BCAD
第12题答案:B考查词义猜测,由该词前面出现的100-year-old可推断,centenarian一词应该指代的是一位一百岁以上的长者.故选B.
第13题答案:C考查细节推理,根据文章中第八段的内容,可知master是以5年作为一个年龄组别的.由于Ms.Nagaoka是参加了100-104这个组别的(在文章中第四段的最后一句中讲到),再分析选项中的其它年龄组别的,按照计算,可知道应选C.
第14题答案:A考查细节推理,根据文章最后一段的最后一句She said her secrets for longevity,or long life,were good genes,regular sleep,sushi and exercise.(她说她长寿的秘诀是好的基因、有规律的睡眠、寿司还有锻炼)可推断A选项正确.
第15题答案:D考查细节推理,综合全文的内容,可知Ms.Nagaoka虽然年老,但一直都坚持游泳,可知D选项"保持前行,永不言弃"的意思与之相匹配.
点评 本文是一篇新闻报道类阅读,题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对 性找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确的答案.
