The leading causes of death in this age group are also changing.In 2000, the top five causes of death for centenarians were heart disease, stroke, flu, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. But by 2014, the death rate from Alzheimer’s disease for this age group had more than doubled—increasing from 3.8 percent to 8.5 percent—[14] making the progressive brain disease the second leading cause of death for centenarians.One reason for the rise in deaths from Alzheimer’s disease in this group may be that developing this condition remains possible even after people beat the odds of dying from other diseases such as cancer. People who are physically fit enough to survive over 100 years ultimately give in to diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, which affects the mind and cognitive function. In other words, [15] it appears their minds give out before their bodies do.On the other hand, the death rate from flu dropped from 7.4 percent in 2000 to 4.1 percent in 2014. That pushed flu from the third leading cause of death to the fifth.Overall, the total number of centenarians is going up. In 2014, there were 72,197 centenarians, compared to 50,281 in 2000. But because this population is getting larger, the number of deaths in this group is also increasing—18,434 centenarians died in 2000, whereas 25,914 died in 2014.13. What does the speaker say about the risk of dying for American centenarians in recent years?【试题答案】D【试题解析】题目问关于近年来美国百岁老人死亡的风险，说话人说了什么？录音第一句话便讲到，近年来，美国百岁老人的死亡率有所下降。

D选项“它有所降低”与录音原文表述一致，因此正确A选项“它基本上保持不变”；B选项“人们对它有了更好的认识”和C选项“它被夸大了”在录音中均没有信息提及，因此排除14. What does the speaker say about Alzheimer’s disease?【试题答案】A【试题解析】题目问关于阿尔茨海默氏症，说话者说了什么？录音提到，在2000年，百岁老人五大死亡原因其中之一就包括了阿尔茨海默病到2014年，这种渐进的、慢性的大脑疾病已成为百岁老人的第二大死亡原因A选项“它现在是百岁老人的第二大死亡原因”与原文表述相符，因此正确B选项“它在不活跃的百岁老人中更容易发生”；C选项“它需要更加深入的研究”和D选项“迄今为止没有有效的治疗方法”在录音中均没有信息提及，因此排除15. What is characteristic of people who live up to 100 years and beyond?【试题答案】B【试题解析】题目问活到100岁以上的人有什么特点? 录音中提到，身体足够健康、能活到一百岁以上的老人最终也会屈服于像阿尔茨海默氏症这类影响心理和认知功能的疾病，换句话说，这些老人的大脑会比他们的身体更脆弱。

B选项中的fail是对录音原文中give out的同义替换，因此B选项“他们的大脑比他们的身体要先衰退”正确A选项“他们比以往更珍惜生活”；C选项“他们的生活质量迅速恶化”和D选项“他们更关心身体健 康”在录音中均没有信息提及，因此排除3. 单选题Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.问题1选项A.She is a great athlete.B.She is a famed speaker.C.She is a famous scientist.D.She is a noted inventor.问题2选项A.How knowledge of human biochemistry has been evolving.B.How nutrition helps athletes’ performance in competitions.C.How scientific training enables athletes to set new records.D.How technology has helped athletes to scale new heights.问题3选项A.Our physical structures.B.Our scientific knowledge.C.Our biochemical process.D.Our concept of nutrition.问题4选项A.It may increase the expenses of sports competitions.B.It may lead to athletes’ over reliance on equipment.C.It may give an unfair advantage to some athletes.D.It may change the nature of sports competitions.【答案】第1题:A第2题:D第3题:B第4题:C【解析】Conversation OneM: Tonight, we have a very special guest.

What does the title “To the Edge” mean? What’re you referring to?W: [2] The book is about how science and technology has helped push humans to the edge of their physical abilities.
