第二节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Head held high, hands firmly gripping her walker, Mary Arnott, 99, walks slowly

with dignity through the women’s changing room at the Etobicoke Olympium pool, past

the teenage girls who have been blow-drying their hair for half an hour, into the

mist of the showers, then out the door and first one into the heated pool. She jumps

over to the shallow end, stopping to talk to friends—everyone knows Arnott here;

she swims twice a week and treats it as a job—about their children, the viciousness(谬误) of bridge and their health.

In fact, Arnott is an exception to the exception. Not only has she lived 20 years

past the average lifespan for Canadians, she’s healthy, her mind is sharp and she

lives independently.

Born in Brooklyn on May 28, 1909, Arnott was raised on Staten Island. She survived

scarlet fever(猩红热), helped bring up four siblings after her mother died in 1923

and worked as a secretary in New York City for 12 years, earning＄35 a week and a＄150 bonus at Christmas.

Now she’s happy living in a one-room apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom

in her daughter’s house. She wears a hearing aid, does the cryptic(有隐义的)

crossword with a magnifying glass, and can’t really explain why she has live so well

so long.

Until recently, she has still liked to drink red wine—she used to drink two

glasses before supper each day. It’s more likely genes, she admits. Her interest

in other people and life in general may have had something to do with it. Asked if

a star photographer can take her picture at the pool, Arnott seems cheerful.

“I look good in a swimsuit,” she says, nodding her head firmly. “I look better

in a swimsuit than I do in pants. ”

21. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Mary Arnott can’t swim but she likes water.

B. Mary Arnott is afraid to swim at the swimming pool.

C. Mary Arnott likes to swim and is known to the local people.

D. Mary Arnott just likes to talk to her friends at the bank of the swimming pool.

22. Which of the following is TRUE as for Mary Arnott as an exception to the exception?
