The TV station reported that by completing the swim, the fourth-grade student from Los Banos broke a record previously held by a 10-year-old boy. James said that waves in the San Francisco Bay hitting him in the face 30 minutes into his swim made him want to give up.
(2)His father said he had offered his son $ 100 as a reward; to encourage his struggling son, he doubled it to $ 200. James pushed forward, making it to Alcatraz Island and back in a little more than two hours. Alcatraz is over a mile from the mainland.

News Report Two
On the 1st of January, new regulations will come into effect which eliminate an annual leave bonus for people who put off marrying until the age of 23 for women, and 25 for men, the South China Morning Post reports.
(3) The holiday bonus was Designed to encourage young people to delay getting married in line with China’s one-child policy.But with that policy now being abolished, this holiday incentive is no longer necessary, the government says. In Shanghai, a young couple at a marriage registration office told the paper that they decided to register their marriage as soon as possible to take advantage of the existing policy, because an extra holiday was a big deal for them. In Beijing, one registration office had about 300 couples seeking to get married the day after the changes were announced, rather than the usual number of between 70 and 80.

Passage One
(16) Scientists have identified thousands of of known ant species around the world—and only a few of them bug humans. Most ants live in the woods or out in nature. There, they keep other creatures in check, distribute seeds, and clean dead and decaying materials from the ground. A very small percentage of ants do harm to humans. But those are incredibly challenging to control. They are small enough to easily slip inside your house, live in colonies that number in the tens of thousands to the hundreds of thousands, and reproduce quickly. That makes them good at getting in, and hard to kick out. Once they settle in, these insects start affecting your home. In addition to biting ants, other species can cause different kinds of damage. (17)Some, like carpenter ants, can undermine a home’s structure, while others interfere with electrical units.Unfortunately, our homes are very attractive to ants, because they provide everything the colony needs to survive, such as food, water, and shelter. So how can we prevent ants from getting into our homes? (18)Most important of all, avoid giving ants any access to food, particularly sugary food, because ants have a sweet tooth. We also need to clean up spills as soon as they occur and store food in airtight containers. Even garbage attracts ants, so empty your trash as often as possible, and store your outside garbage in a lidded can, well away from doors and windows.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

【听力点津】注意听文中的关键词undermine a home’s structure。
18. What can we do to prevent ants from getting into our homes?
A。细节题。【解题点拨】对话结尾部分提到，最重要的是不要让蚂蚁接触到食物，尤其是糖类的食物，因为它们嗜好甜食。故答案为A。
【听力点津】注意听对话中的关键字为avoid，意为避免，不要，由此可知后面接的是预防措施。
Passage Two
（19）My research focus is on what happens to our immune system as we age. So the job of the immune system is to fight infections. It also protects us from viruses and from auto-immune diseases. We know that as we get older, it’s easier for us to get infections. So, older adults have more chances of falling ill. This is evidence that our immune system really doesn’t function so well when we age. In most of our work when we’re looking at older adults who’ve got an illness, we always have to have health controls. So we work very closely with a great group of volunteers called “The 1,000 Elders.” These volunteers are all 65 or over but in good health. (20)They come to the university to provide us with blood samples, to be interviewed and to help us carry out a whole range of research.(21)The real impact of our research is going to be on health in old age. At the moment we’re living much longer, life expectancy is increasing at two years for every decade. That means an extra five hours a day. I want to make sure that older adults are still able to enjoy their old age and that they’re not spending time in hospital with infections, feeling unwell and being generally weak. We want people to be healthy even when they are old.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Passage Three
When Ted Komada started teaching 14 years ago at Killip Elementary, he didn’t know how to manage a classroom and was struggling to connect with students. (22) He noticed a couple of days after school that a group of kids would get together to play chess. “I know how to play chess. Let me go and show these kids how to do it,” he said. Now Komada coaches the school’s chess team. The whole program started as a safe place for kids to come after school. (23) And this week dozens of those students are getting ready to head out to Nashville Tennessee, to compete with about 5,000 other young people at the SuperNationals of chess. The competition only happens every four years and the last time the team went, they won the third place in the nation. Komada says chess gives him, and his students, control. (24)The school has the highest number of kids from low-income families. Police frequent the area day and night, as two months ago, a young man was shot just down the street. (25)Komada likes to teach his students that they should think about their move before they do it. The lessons prove valuable outside the classroom as well. Many parents see these lessons translate into the real world. Students are more likely to think about their actions and see whether they will lead to trouble.
