In April 2014, the world's oldest known message in a bottle was dis?covered floating in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the ocean! The message was finally sent to the author's granddaughter.

A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown boltle near Kiel* Germany. He said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.

The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two Ger?man stamps, dated May 17, 1913. Although dampness had made most of the writing illegible(字跡模糊的),the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin. It even contained two stamps lo pay for postage.

From the address, researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard Platz, who was 20 years old when he wrote the mes?sage. While he was hiking on the Baltic coast with a nature appreciation group, he threw the bottle into the sea. Then the researchers began a re?search for any living relatives of his. Sure enough, they were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughter, Angela Erdmann, who still lives in Berlin.

"It was almost unbelievable*" Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather's bottle and message. "That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face."

Erdmann never knew her grandfather, who died in 1946, but says that the discovery of the bottle has made her want to learn more about him.

The bottle remained on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1. After that, the researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message. Previously, the oldest message found in a bottle spent nearly 98 years at sea and was dis?covered in April 2012, according to Guinness World Records.

A.  he thought it would bring him good luck

B.  He wished the finder would send the postcard to his home.

C.  He believed his postcard would be kept secret at sea forever.

D.  He thought he could make friends with the finder of the bottle.

第一部分閱讀理解(共兩節(jié),滿分40分)

第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題1分,滿分30分)

A

The West is full of fast food and large amounts of food which contribute to many women's being fat. While many are fat, thin women are admired and seen as healthier. This has led to a culture of gym-going, strange die?ting methods and, frequently, eating disorders. In the East, women tend to be smaller and many women take pills to keep their slim figures as they get older. However, you're mistaken if you think thinness is the beauty stand?ard all over the world. The BBC reports that in Mauritania, Africa, the op?posite is true.

In Mauritania, mothers force their daughters to eat a lot of food so that they get as fat as possible. The fatter they are, the more likely they are to marry well. Fat is also considered healthy, because in a country where HIV/AIDS is a very real problem, thin people are often sick and dying. However, "healthy" fat women are suffering from some problems of their own and many are dying in their 40s of weight-related diseases.

The Mauritanian government is trying to warn its people of the dangers of being overweight but it's not easy to change cultural views. Many women worry that if they lose weight, their husbands will leave them for fatter, more attractive women.

It seems that while education about the dangers of being too thin and too fat is very important, what the world really needs is to become less pre?occupied with the size, shape and weight of women's bodies. The promotion of healthy practices is easy but changing cultural beauty standards takes more time, imagination and effort.

1.  According to the article, why are women usually fatter in the West?

  A.  They don't exercise enough.

B.  Large food portions and fast food are common.

C.  They use unhealthy dieting methods.

D.  They believe that being fat is beautiful.

2.  What examples does the writer give of unhealthy weight-loss methods in the East and West?

  A.  Strange dieting methods, exercising, taking pills and eating too much.

B.  Taking pills, watching what you eat and exercising.

C.  Strange dieting methods and warning people about the dangers of be?ing overweight.

D.  Gym-going, strange dieting methods, eating disorders and taking pills.

3.  Why are girls forced to eat a lot of food in Mauritania?

  A.  They believe that fat people won't get HIV/AIDS.

B.  They believe that they can lead healthier lives.

  C.  They believe if they grow fat, they may possibly marry good hus?bands.

D.  They believe that they won't get sick very often.

 4.  According to the article, why do some women in Mauritania not want to lose weight even though they know being fat is unhealthy?

  A.  They worry that their husbands will leave them if they're thin.

B.  They really like being beautiful.

C.  They really like eating a lot of food and being fat.

D.  The government forces them to eat a lot so they won't get sick.
