26、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 sport’s 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 enormous,” 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.

【1】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.

【2】What can we learn about Corones from the text?

A．His record has been confirmed officially.

B．He broke his own record at 100.

C．He was a professional swimmer in his youth.

D．He is a freshman for the 100-104 age category.

【3】What does Corones plan to do next?

A．Prepare for his 100th birthday party.

B．Challenge the 100m frog record.

C．Challenge Harrison again.

D．Celebrate his success.

【4】Which can best describe the 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.

27、Making beers on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many, but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego, there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth’s surface.

The Lab2Moon competition, held by TeamIndus, is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year.

Taking craft beer to the next level, the students want to test whether it’s possible for yeast(酵母) to work and create beer on the moon. However, they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts, it’s also important for the development of drugs and yeast-containing food, like bread.

“The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends,” said Neeki Ashari, a fifth-year bioengineering students at UC San Diego. “We all appreciate the craft beer. When we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would go up on India’s moonlander, w e thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality of yeast in outer space.”

The preparation work for the beer — up to the stage of adding yeast — will all be done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation ( 发酵) and carbonation stage of making beer, the team plans to combine them.

This removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process, which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space.

If selected, Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space, and the fermentation will take place in a container no bigger than a soda can.

All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore, India, in March.

Sadly, you won’t be enjoying moon beer in your local craft beer bar anytime soon, as no samples will be brought back. However, this small experiment could provide important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets and moons by learning how consumables (消耗品) behave in different environments.

【1】How did the students feel when they got the chance to design the experiment ?

A．Excited.

B．Nervous.

C．Confident.

D．Casual.

【2】What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A．The mixing of two stages.

B．Adding yeast on Earth.

C．The preparation work on Earth.

D．Fermentation and carbonation.

【3】What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?

A．It has been designed based on similar experiments.

B．It’s quite competitive compared with other designs.

C．It’s design has already been approved by TeamIndus.

D．Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener.

【4】What does the author think of the students ’ idea?

A．It seems like a pipe dream.

B．It’s extremely complicated.

C．It’s meaningful and hopeful.

D．It’s creative but impractical.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next.

Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these fold-able devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB.

41、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

We live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft (手艺) no longer exists. One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability (持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built,” they say. There is no doubt that these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.

Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.

One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts (精确切割) on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.

The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.
