Nearing the age of 101 has 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，15 minutes and 54 seconds． By comparison，the overall female world record holder completed the same distance in just under 15 and a half minutes．But that swimmer，Katie Ledecky，is only 17 years old．And Ms．Nagao．ka was not competing against her．In fact，Ms．Nagaoka was the only competitor in the 100-104 year 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 25 records．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 100 years 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. 1．The underlined word“centenarian”refers to someone who is____． A．from Japan B．100 or older C．an old competitor D.a new swimmer 2．Which is possibly the age category of the masters swimming competition?

試題解析：1．詞義猜測 由該詞前面出現的100-year-old可推斷，centenarian一詞應該指代的是一位一百歲以上的長者。故選B。 2. 細節理解 根據文章中第八段的內容，可知master是以5年作為一個年齡組別的。由於Ms. Nagaoka是參加了100-104這個組別的（在文章中第四段的最後一句中講到），再分析選項中的其它年齡組別的，按照計算，可知道應選C。 3. 推理判斷 根據文章最後一段的最後一句She said her secrets for longevity，or long life，were good genes，regular sleep，sushi and exercise，可推斷A選項正確。 4. 推理判斷 綜合全文的內容，可知Ms. Nagaoka雖然年老，但一直都堅持游泳，可知D選項的意思與之相匹配。
5.根據短文內容，從短文後的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多餘選項。
