Nearly six years ago, a doctor placed his hand on the back of Suzannah Wish (Canada) back and found she had a hunchback (驼背). The curve at the base of her neck would cause pain and limit her movement, so he suggested the 78-year-old woman join a gym and work on her health.

Yet less than a decade later, Suzannah has done far more than get better from her problem — she has become a Guinness World Records title holder with an amazing fitness achievement.

On 9 June, 2025, at the age of 84 years and 296 days, Suzannah became the oldest person to do a plank (平板支撑) (female) ever, taking the title from the then 82-year-old Sarah Blackman (USA).

And to make her achievement even more impressive, the senior held the position for an amazing seven minutes — a difficult task many young athletes would struggle to do!

“I feel very lucky and grateful at this age to be competing for this title,” Suzannah told GWR, adding that the experience was even more meaningful because she was able to do it without her hunchback.

Everyone taking part was excited to see this happen.

1.1.What did the doctor suggest Suzannah do?

A See a doctor.

B Go to the gym.

C Take a rest.

D Eat more.

解析：选B。B细节理解题。第一段中医生明确建议“he suggested the 78-year-old woman join a gym and work on her health”他建议这位 78 岁的老太太去健身房锻炼，go to the gym等同于join the gym。故选B。

2.2.When did Sarah Blackman born?

A In 1947.

B In 1943.

C In 1939.

D In 1941.

解析：选B。B数字计算题。文章第三段指出，2025年6月9日 Suzannah 打破纪录时，前纪录保持者 Sarah Blackman当时的年龄是82岁（“taking the title from the then 82-year-old Sarah Blackman”）。用2025减去82得出出生年份约为1943年。故选B。

3.3.What does the underlined word “impressive” mean?

A Making people dangerous.

B Making people nervous.

C Making people worried.

D Making people surprised.

解析：选D。D词义猜测题。划线词所在句子提到她的成就 “even more impressive”，后文解释她坚持了七分钟，这是许多年轻运动员都难以做到的。由此可推断 “impressive” 表达的是令人赞叹、惊讶的意思，与 “Making people surprised” 含义最接近。A项 “危险的”、B项 “紧张的”、C项 “担忧的” 均带有负面或中性偏消极色彩，而文中语境是褒义赞扬，故排除。故选D。

4.4.What can we infer about Suzannah from Paragraph 5?

A She felt proud.

B She needed rest.

C She was in pain.

D She doubted herself.

解析：选A。A推理判断题。第五段中 Suzannah 说 “I feel very lucky and grateful”，并强调在没有驼背的情况下完成挑战更有意义。从 “lucky”、 “grateful” 以及对自己克服身体缺陷的自豪陈述中，可以推断出她内心是骄傲、自豪的。B（需要休息）、C（痛苦）、D（怀疑自己）与原文情感不符。故选A。

5.5.What does the story mainly tell us?

A The old need gym.

B Plank cures all.

C Age is no limit.

D Records are easy.

解析：选C。C主旨大意题。全文讲述了一位78岁才因驼背开始锻炼的老人，在84岁高龄打破世界纪录的故事，突出年龄并未阻碍她取得非凡成就。选项C “年龄不是限制”精准概括了文章主旨。A（老人需要健身）属以偏概全，B（平板支撑治愈一切）属无中生有，D（纪录容易拿）属颠倒是非。故选C。
