In 1866, sailors on a German ship called Paula threw a bottle with a message into waters hundreds of miles off the western coast of Australia. One hundred and thirty-one years later, the bottle was found on an Australian island.
It’s believed to be the oldest-known message in a bottle, in terms of the amount of time that has passed between when it was written and when it was found. Before this discovery, Guinness (吉尼斯) World Records said that the oldest was 108 years old, found in Germany in 2015. Australian and German researchers worked together to check whether the note is real or not.
Tonya Illman was walking on the beach in January when she spotted the old bottle. "I picked it up thinking it might look nice on display in my home, " Illman says, according to an account on her husband’s website. The bottle was partially filled with wet sand. Shortly after, Illman’s son’s girlfriend poured out the contents and found a tightly rolled note covered in a piece of string.
Too
damp
to open initially, according to the account, the group waited for it to dry and were amazed to see that it was carefully handwritten in German. "The first thing that caught my eye was the year 1866," said Illman’s husband Kym. "It seemed totally unlikely to us that the note and bottle could have lasted that long. "
The pair reached out to the Western Australia Museum, which set out to study the document. "Extraordinary finds need extraordinary evidence to support them, so we contacted colleagues in German for help to find more information, " Ross Anderson, who is in charge of works of art in the museum, said in a statement.
But this message is no SOS or love letter. [br] Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage?
选项
A、The Oldest-Known Message Found in Australia
B、The Oldest-Known Message Found in Germany
C、An Extraordinary Evidence of History
D、A Guinness Beer Bottle
答案
A
解析
主旨题。通读全文可知,文章开头两段介绍了一则从德国船只上抛入海中的漂流瓶信息,131年后在澳大利亚被发现,并指出它应是现今历史最为悠久的漂流瓶信息,而随后的段落更加详细地介绍了它被发现和送交相关机构进行研究的情况。由此可知,全文都是围绕这个古老信息展开的,故答案为A。选项B与原文是矛盾的,原文多次指出这个信息是在澳大利亚发现的,故排除。选项C和选项D原文均未提及,故排除。
