（24-25高三上·河北·开学考试）The National Reading Competition
Each year the Jamaica Library Service encourages hundreds of enthusiastic readers to compete for the top positions in this exciting competition, which provides attractive prizes and a platform to share their love for reading with the wider Jamaica.
Objectives
·To encourage and develop the reading skills
·To promote an appreciation of books
·To increase exposure to highly rated literature and aid continuing education for adults
Organization
The National Reading Competition is organized annually over a five-month period, April to August. The preliminary round for children is held at individual service points/libraries. Following this, the top performers compete at the county level. County Champions are then selected for each of the three age groups: 6—8, 9—11 and 12—14. In 1999, a category for adults was introduced, involving persons who were 15 years of age and over.
Testing
Testing at each stage includes a mix of oral and written elements such as letters, book reviews, and puzzles. The competitors' ability to read, understand and interpret set books or excerpts (节录) of books are the main determinants for the selection of winners. The adult section of the competition is run concurrently with the children's section and emphasizes the reading of mainly West Indian literature. The final stage begins in mid-July and culminates (达顶点) in the National Reading Competition Quiz Finals held at TVJ Studios at the end of August. One National Champion emerges from each category after these very competitive sections are completed. They are the individuals who, when all scores are counted, gain the highest marks in their respective age groups.
Judging
Judging at all stages of the competition is carried out by an independent team of experienced educators, local authors, and librarians.
46．How many age groups are there in the competition
A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.
