News Report One

听力原文

       (1) A 9-year-old Central California boy braved strong currents and cold water to swim from San Francisco to Alcatraz Island and back. A California television station in Fresno reported Tuesday that James Savage set a record as the youngest swimmer to make the journey to the former prison.

       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 dollars as a reward; to encourage his struggling son, he doubled it to 200 dollars. James pushed forward, making it to Alcatraz Island and back in a little more than 2 hours. Alcatraz is over a mile from the mainland.

1. What did the boy from Central California do according to the report?

解析：A。根据录音前两句可知，美国加利福尼亚州中部一名9岁男孩克服了湍急的水流和冰冷的海水，从旧金山游到了曾经被用作监狱的恶魔岛，然后又游了回来。这名男孩创下了往返恶魔岛的最年轻游泳者的纪录，故正确答案为A。C项利用visited a prison（参观监狱）和island（岛屿）作干扰，但录音中只提到恶魔岛曾经是监狱，并未说他参观了监狱，故C项错误。
