長(zhǎng)難句解析
She is believed to be the oldest woman to formally compete on an American track, according to the organization, which hosts the Olympic-style event for athletes 50 and older.
這是個(gè)為 50 歲及以上的運(yùn)動(dòng)員舉辦奧運(yùn)會(huì)式賽事的組織，據(jù)該組織表示，霍金斯被認(rèn)為是在美國(guó)田徑賽場(chǎng)上正式參賽的年齡最大的女性。
這里用到了一個(gè)句型，sb. is believed to… 大家認(rèn)為……，霍金斯被大家認(rèn)為是 the oldest woman to formally compete on an American track，compete 表示“參加比賽”，formally compete，就是指“正式參加比賽”，后面的 track 表示“跑道”，霍金斯被認(rèn)為是在美國(guó)田徑賽場(chǎng)上正式參賽的年齡最大的女性。后面是信息源，according to the organization, 舉辦這場(chǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)的組織這樣告訴大家，接著是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，which hosts the Olympic-style event for athletes 50 and older。Olympic-style 指“奧運(yùn)會(huì)式的”，充滿奧運(yùn)風(fēng)格的，這個(gè)舉辦奧運(yùn)會(huì)風(fēng)格賽事的組織，是專門(mén)針對(duì)老年群體的，for athletes 50 and older，athlete 表示“運(yùn)動(dòng)員；擅長(zhǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的人”，這個(gè)舉辦老年運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)的組織稱，這個(gè)機(jī)構(gòu)舉辦的體育賽事，都是 50 歲或以上的選手在參加。
一句話總結(jié)新聞
本篇新聞描述的是 103 歲的霍金斯參加百米賽跑的故事，雖然她在晚年才開(kāi)始跑步，不過(guò)兩年內(nèi)屢次奪金。
文字題 1
題干：
Julia Hawkins finished first in the 100-meter ______ two years ago.
正確選項(xiàng)：dash
干擾項(xiàng) 1：athlete
干擾項(xiàng) 2：yard
干擾項(xiàng) 3：record
解析：
本題考查的是對(duì)文章內(nèi)容的理解，題干的意思是“茱莉亞·霍金斯兩年前在 100 米短跑中得了第一名?！闭_選項(xiàng)是 dash，意思是“短跑比賽”。干擾項(xiàng) 1 athlete 意思是“運(yùn)動(dòng)員；擅長(zhǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的人”；干擾項(xiàng) 2 yard 可以表示長(zhǎng)度單位，意思是“碼”（1 碼=3 英尺）；干擾項(xiàng) 3 record，意思是“記錄；記載”，均與題干語(yǔ)義不符，因此，正確選項(xiàng)是 dash。
文字題 2
題干：
下列哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)是對(duì) "icing on the cake" 的準(zhǔn)確理解？
正確選項(xiàng)：錦上添花
干擾項(xiàng) 1：不起作用
干擾項(xiàng) 2：處于危險(xiǎn)境地
干擾項(xiàng) 3：打破沉默
解析：
本題考查的是對(duì)重點(diǎn)表達(dá) icing on the cake 的理解。該表達(dá)是在標(biāo)題里出現(xiàn)，正確選項(xiàng)是“錦上添花”。干擾項(xiàng) 1 “不起作用”，對(duì)應(yīng)的英文表達(dá)是 cut no ice；干擾項(xiàng) 2 “處于危險(xiǎn)境地”，對(duì)應(yīng)的英文表達(dá)是 on thin ice；干擾項(xiàng) 3 “打破沉默”，對(duì)應(yīng)的英文表達(dá)是 break the ice。因此，正確選項(xiàng)是“錦上添花”。
圖片題
音頻內(nèi)容：
Which of the following pictures shows the "hurricane"?
picture.mp3
圖片：
解析：
題干的意思是“以下哪張圖顯示的是颶風(fēng)？”上圖（從左至右）分別是“颶風(fēng)、下雪天、晴天、地震”，所以第一幅圖是正確選項(xiàng)。
填空題
題干：
Hawkins doesn't practice ______ and runs on the street ______.
正確選項(xiàng) 1：much
干擾項(xiàng) 1：many
正確選項(xiàng) 2：occasionally
干擾項(xiàng) 2：never
解析：
題干的意思是“霍金斯練習(xí)得不是很多，偶爾在街上跑步?！?第一處的正確選項(xiàng)是 much，在句中作副詞，修飾 practice，表示“很、非?！薄６蓴_項(xiàng) many 是形容詞，表示“許多的”，通常用來(lái)修飾名詞。第二處的正確選項(xiàng)是 occasionally，意思是“偶爾；有時(shí)”，而干擾項(xiàng) never 表示“從不”，與語(yǔ)義不符。
口語(yǔ)題
音頻內(nèi)容：
Hawkins was largely competing against herself.
speaking.mp3
今日導(dǎo)讀
總有人說(shuō)自己老了，沒(méi)辦法做太多的事情，但是有一群上百歲的老人，用他們的行動(dòng)告訴我們，年齡似乎真不是問(wèn)題。6 月 19 日，有 4 個(gè)孩子、3 個(gè)孫子和 1 個(gè)重孫的百歲老人茱莉亞·霍金斯，以 21 秒 06 的成績(jī)打破了百歲以上女子 50 米短跑的全國(guó)記錄，更令人驚訝的是，早在 2 年前，這位 101 歲的老人以 40 秒 12 的好成績(jī)，一舉將年齡在百歲以上的百米跑世界記錄提高了 6 秒，這位老人是如何能完成意想不到的挑戰(zhàn)？平時(shí)又是如何堅(jiān)持訓(xùn)練的？我們馬上和 Daniel 老師一起走進(jìn)今天的新聞。
帶著問(wèn)題聽(tīng)講解
如何理解 icing on the cake 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)？
Julia Hawkins 前后兩次參加百米賽跑的成績(jī)有何不同？
Julia Hawkins 是什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始跑步的？
新聞?wù)?/p>
At 103, she just ran the 100-meter dash. It's only the 'icing on the cake' of her life.
103 歲時(shí)，她剛剛跑完 100 米短跑。這只是她生命中的“錦上添花”。
Two years ago, at the age of 101, Julia Hawkins set a record. A running record.
兩年前，101 歲的茱莉亞·霍金斯創(chuàng)造了一項(xiàng)記錄。一項(xiàng)跑步的記錄。
She ran the 100-meter dash, finishing with a time of 39.62 seconds. They called her the "Hurricane."
她以 39.62 秒的成績(jī)跑完了 100 米短跑。人們稱她為“颶風(fēng)”。
This week, at the age of 103, Hawkins returned to the track to run the 50- and 100-meter races in the National Senior Games in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is believed to be the oldest woman to formally compete on an American track, according to the organization, which hosts the Olympic-style event for athletes 50 and older.
本周，103 歲的霍金斯重返賽道，參加在新墨西哥州阿爾伯克基市舉行的全美老年運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì) 50 米和 100 米賽跑。這是個(gè)為 50 歲及以上的運(yùn)動(dòng)員舉辦奧運(yùn)會(huì)式賽事的組織，據(jù)該組織表示，霍金斯被認(rèn)為是在美國(guó)田徑賽場(chǎng)上正式參賽的年齡最大的女性。
There is admittedly little competition in the centenarian age group, and Hawkins was largely competing against herself. She finished the 100-meter dash about 6 seconds slower than her record time, but she was still pleased with the result. "I'm two years older, remember?"
不可否認(rèn)，在百歲老人的群體中幾乎沒(méi)有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，而霍金斯主要是在和自己競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。她這次完成 100 米短跑的用時(shí)比她之前的記錄慢了 6 秒，但她依然對(duì)這個(gè)結(jié)果感到滿意?！翱蓜e忘記，我又老了兩歲?！?/p>
Hawkins got into running late in life, and it has become one of her many passions. "I went to running at 100. The first time I went to look at it and try, it was the 50-yard dash. It was fun and I fell in love with running.
霍金斯是在晚年才開(kāi)始跑步的，跑步已經(jīng)成為她的眾多愛(ài)好之一。“我在 100 歲開(kāi)始跑步。我第一次去看并嘗試跑的時(shí)候，是 50 碼短跑。很有趣，我從此愛(ài)上了跑步。
"I run on the street by my house, occasionally, not often. As I get older, I feel like I only have so many 100-yard dashes left, and I don't want to waste them in practice. Can you imagine that?"
“我會(huì)在我家附近的街上跑步，只是偶爾為之，并不經(jīng)常跑。當(dāng)我慢慢變老時(shí)，我感覺(jué)我只剩下那么多次一百碼短跑的機(jī)會(huì)了，我不想把它們浪費(fèi)在練習(xí)中。你能夠想象嗎？”

拓展閱讀
跑步的益處
跑步幾乎是一項(xiàng)零成本的鍛煉方式，它的好處也非常多。跑步與長(zhǎng)壽之間也許沒(méi)有直接關(guān)聯(lián)，但它對(duì)健康肯定是大有幫助。
首先，跑步能夠鍛煉我們的心肺功能，增加身體各個(gè)器官的氧氣量，堅(jiān)持跑步的話，心臟及血管系統(tǒng)的功能會(huì)有明顯增強(qiáng)。同時(shí)我們還可以燃燒卡路里，避免肥胖帶來(lái)的種種問(wèn)題。而由于我們跑步時(shí)要保持肩背挺直、放松的姿勢(shì)，長(zhǎng)期堅(jiān)持以后，頸部肩部的脊椎問(wèn)題都可能得到改善。
當(dāng)然，為了達(dá)到最佳鍛煉效果，我們也要遵循一定的科學(xué)規(guī)則。首先是鞋，較為專業(yè)的跑鞋能夠有效保護(hù)我們的膝蓋與腳踝，也能讓我們跑得更加舒適。其次，跑步前要做好熱身、放松運(yùn)動(dòng)，避免拉傷、抽筋等癥狀；跑完之后不要立即坐下，而應(yīng)慢走讓心率恢復(fù)到正常水平再作休息。最后，不論自己跑得多快，最重要的是勻速，不要忽快忽慢，導(dǎo)致心率波動(dòng)造成危險(xiǎn)。
