问题 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, (76)the bottle was found on an Australia 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. (77) 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 Germany 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

解析综合分析题。题干问的是“下面哪一项是文章最好的标题?”根据定位句可以选出A项。B项“最古老的漂流瓶是在德国发现的”，根据第一段可知瓶子是在澳大利亚发现的，B错误；C项“历史的异乎寻常的证据”，这只是博物馆工作人员提及的一句话，不能作为全文的主旨；D项“一个吉尼斯的啤酒瓶”，文中只是表明吉尼斯世界纪录，而且侧重点也不是在于啤酒瓶。故选A。
