When it comes to running marathons（马拉松）, eight hours, 25 minutes and 16 seconds is not a world record.
This was the time it took Fauja Singh to 21 the Toronto Waterfront Marathon on Sunday.
But Singh, born in India, is no spring chicken – he’s 100 years old and his recent 22 has made him the world’s oldest marathon runner. 
As a runner, Singh was a 23 starter. In his late 80s, after the deaths of his wife and son, he decided to 24 running. 
For Singh, being 100 is just a 25 . There aren’t many centenarians（百岁老人） in quite such rude health, 26 they are on the increase. Life expectancy（预期寿命） in the UK today is around 80 but a total of 12,640 men and women are now centenarians 27 just 2,500 in 1980. Public services have to make improvement so as to deal with this 28 society.
Why do some people live to such a ripe old age? Scientists in Amsterdam may have come a little closer to 29 the secret to long life.
Of course, they could just ask Fauja Singh 30 his secret is. The old boy puts his long life down to tea and “being happy”.

III. 阅读理解（共15小题；每题4分，满分60分）
阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给旳A,B,C,D四个选项中，选出一种最佳答案。
A
Sequoia trees are one of the largest and oldest of living things. Some of these trees are three thousand years old. The great sequoia tree grows along the western part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Sequoia can grow to be almost 32 feet tall.
Another type of tree, called bonsai, grows in a pot in homes. A bonsai is a miniature （微型）form of a tree as it might be found in nature. Some bonsai trees have lived for more than 200 years.
To begin a bonsai garden you plant a very small tree in a small pot. As it grows, you cut back the roots to keep the tree small. Branches are also cut back or forced to turn in order to form them into a special shape. In this way the branches can be kept from growing too long.
A bonsai tree doesn’t grow to be more than 2 feet. Compare this with the largest living sequoia known, the General Sherman Tree in Sequoia National Park, which measures 275 feet tall and 103 feet around. Nobody ever cut its roots!
Because sequoias have been around for millions of years, dinosaurs（恐龙）may have even rested beneath them. Bonsai trees were first created about one thousand years ago in China and were introduced into Japan two hundred years later.
Would a sequoia make a good bonsai tree? Probably not. Unless, of course, you had a few thousand years to take care of it!
31. What is mentioned in this text about the sequoia tree?
A. It is popular in the world. B. It can be over thirty feet tall.
C. It was found in coastal areas. D. It lived a thousand years ago.
32. In what way is a bonsai tree different from a sequoia?
A. It is a pot plant. B. It is found in nature.
C. It is kept in the shade. D. It is a plant without roots.
33. What is the feature that both a sequoia and a bonsai tree have?
A. They look similar in shape. B. They grow in the mountain.
C. They can live for many years. D. They grow well in warm weather.
34. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Turn a Sequoia into a Bonsai Tree
B. The Largest Living Things on Earth
C. Trees in National Park
D. Great Sequoias and Bonsai Tree

B.
Everyone should care about their eyes. However, there are certain people that should especially wear sunglasses. Theis is for their safety, and the safety of others.
Drivers should always have sunglasse handy. Whether you are driving your own car or a bus full of people, the sun can be your enemy. The rays could cause you not to see the traffic that stopped 50 feet in front of you. Accidents like this can be avoided by always having sunglasses in your car.
It is very important that parents teach their children from an early age to wear sunglasses. In addition, you are protecting very delicate（柔弱旳）eyes as well. Children, especially the very young, are growing and developing in every way. Protecting their eyes with sunglasses from the start will recude the damage they will pay for later in life.
Even babies can wear sunglasses. A child begins their life by being able to focus on objects only less than the inches from their face. A pair of baby sunglasses will keep harmful rays out of your baby’s young, delicate eyes.
Anyone who spends long time in the sun should know the advantages of sunglasses. If you are extremely interested in water sports and spend a lot of time at the beach or on a lake, you could be at greater risk. Water sportsmen like water — skiers know how protective sunglasses will save a lifetime of hardship. The sun reflecting-off （反射）the water into your eyes can increase the damage. So do find a good pair of water sunglasses while you ride the waves.
35. What does the writer want to tell the reader?
A. The imortance of wearing sunglasses. B.The best time of wearing sunglasses.
C. The tradition of wearing sunglasses.　 D. The fashion of wearing sunglasses.
36. It is suggested in the text that children should _____.

C. have sunglasses designed by doctors D. avoid wearing sunglasses for too long
37. Who should wear sunglasses not only for his own good but also for other people’s good?
A. Water-skiers. B. Parents. C. Babies. D. Drivers.

C
Are men better drivers than women? The answer is yes...and no.
Men take more risks（风险）. In sutdies, men as a whole are less careful than women, such as driving at higher speeds and closer to other cars, and not wearing seat belts. They even make risker turns and take less time when parking.
BUT... how someone drives doesn’t necessarily equal how well he drives. Men do seem to be better than women at certain driving tasks. However, this slight edge in ability doesn’t translate into better driving records. The kinds of accidents men get into are generally the result of their riskier driving. According to one study, men are more than three times as likely to be ticketed for “risky driving” than women, and more than 25 percent as likely to be at fault in an accident.
The ability to make good judgement is a powerful thing. Despite the research, scientists point out that it’s difficult to determine whether men are truly born to be better drivers than women, or if they’re simply more confident in their driving because they’re thought to be better, and thus show better skills. Similarly, the traditional view that women are weaker drivers may unfavourably affect（影响） their performance behind the wheel.
Women are catching up... which isn’t necessarily good news. Men may be responsible for more accidents than women, but the gap（差距）is getting smaller. Today, more women drive than ever before, which has the unfortunate increase in speeding, risky driving, and even death among women.
The take-home: Learn from the strengths of both sexes. Drive confidently and carefully. And don’t forget to wear your seat belt.
38. Which of the following is a risk mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. Driving with careless women. B. Driving in another person’s car.
C. Driving without seat belts. D. Driving in a parking lot.
39. What does the word “edge” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Improvement. B. Advantage. C. Problem. D. Change.
40. The writer seems to suggest in Paragraph 4 that women are weaker drivers because ______.
A. they are less responsible B. they are poorer in judgement
C. they are born weaker persons D. they are considered less confident
41. In Paragraph 5 the writer expresses his concern about ______.
A. women’s driving safety B. women’s slow response
C. the age difference among women D. the proper speed for women drivers
