(1) A message in a bottle sent out to sea by a New Hampshire man more than five decades ago was found 1,500 miles away, and has been returned to his daughter. The long lost message was discovered by Clint Buffington of Utah while he was vacationing. Buffington says he found a soda bottle half-buried in the sand that looked like it had been there since the beginning of time.
   The note inside the bottle said, “Return to 419 Ocean Street, and receive a reward of $150 from Richard and Tina Pierce, owners of the beachcomber motel.”
   The motel was owned by the parents of Paula Pierce in 1960. Her father had written the note as a joke and had thrown it into the Atlantic Ocean. Buffington flew to New Hampshire to deliver the message to Paula Piece. (2) She held up to her father’s promise, giving Buffington that reward. But the biggest reward is the message in the bottle finding its way back home.
   Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.
   1. What is the news report mainly about?
   2. Why did Paula Pierce give Clint Buffington the reward?
选项 A、The return of a bottled message to its owner’ s daughter.
B、A New Hampshire man’ s joke with friends on his wife.
C、A father’ s message for his daughter.
D、The history of a century-old motel.
答案 A
解析 浏览四个选项，从选项中的bottled message，father’s message，daughter可推测，此题与一位父亲投递的漂流瓶中的信息有关。题干问的是这篇新闻报道主要是关于什么的。新闻开头提到50多年前美国新罕布什尔州的一名男子向海里扔了一个漂流瓶，漂流瓶在1500英里远的地方被发现了，并且已经归还到了他女儿的手中。由此可知，这篇新闻主要讲的是漂流瓶中的信息回到了主人女儿的手中，故答案为A。B项(新罕布什尔州一名男子和朋友开了一个关于他妻子的玩笑)和D项(百年汽车旅馆的历史)新闻均未提及，故排除。新闻中只是提到漂流瓶已经归还到了主人女儿的手中，但并没说漂流瓶中的信息是写给谁的，C项(一位父亲留给女儿的信息)与新闻内容不符，故排除。
