21．（6分）A woman from Australia has found the world’s oldest known message in a bottle nearly 132 years after it was cast into the sea.
Tonya Illman discovered the drift (漂流) bottle half-buried in the sand on a beach in Western Australia, 180 kilometers north of the state capital Perth.
降血脂的食物The message, dated 12 June 1886, was thrown into the Indian Ocean from the German ship Paula, which was en route from Cardiff, Wales, to its destination of Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). The bottle was one of the thousands thrown into oceans as part of a 69-year-long German experiment on global currents (洋流) to find faster shipping routes.
Until now, the previous world record for the oldest message in a bottle was 108 years, 4 months and 18 days from the time it was cast until its discovery.
Illman found the bottle near her son’s car in the beach’s soft sand.
“I was walking across when I saw something sticking out of the sand, so I went to take a closer look,”
Illman was quoted as saying.
“It just looked like a lovely old bottle, so I picked it up thinking it might look good in my bookcase. My son’s girlfriend was the one who discovered the note when she went to tip the sand out.
“The note was damp, rolled tightly and tied with a string. We took it home and drie d it out, and when we opened it, we saw it was in German, with very faint German handwriting on it.”
The Illmans took their find to the local museum which established that the bottle was a 19th Century Dutch gin bottle, and the German ship Paula sailed from Cardiff to Makassar (Indonesia) in 1886.
1、What can we learn about the newly-found bottle?
A．It was thrown overboard near Germany.
B．It was brought to a university for consultation.
C．It was one of the bottles cast into the ocean in 1886.
D．It was used for sending a message to today’s Indonesia.
2、What do the underlined words “en route” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．On the way. B．Off the course.
C．In the center. D．At the end.
3、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．19th Century Dutch Gin Bottle Returned to Germany
B．Oldest Message in a Bottle Found on Australian Beach
C．German Ship Paula Sailed Across the Indian Ocean in 1886
D．69-year-long German Experiment on Global Currents Ended
22．（8分） A dozen international coffee experts shuffle（把脚挪来挪去）around a long wooden table, pausing at each steaming cup, heads dipping and sniffing deeply. Then the slurping（吃喝或吸吮的声音）begins. In the wings, coffee farmer Yang Fan watches intently as the judges circle, awaiting a verdict（裁定）on her latest crop of beans.
China may be the spiritual home of tea, but it is fast developing a reputation as a top coffee producer. This tasting was a side event to the first ever Pu'er International Specialty Coffee Expo in China's southwestern Yunnan province, which ran this winter and drew more than a thousand attendees, including industry aficionados(酷爱者) from across the globe.
"Coffee has huge potential in China," says Liu Ying, who swapped her life working in private-equity（私人股权）investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Pu'er five years ago. "The younger generation prefers to drink coffee in their offices much more than tea." Still, Pu'er remains synonymous with tea.
This bustling （喧闹的）town near the Laos border is surrounded by the green hills scored with tea plantations; it produces a variety of tea which is als o called Pu’er, considered one of China's most refined. But the region's mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee. And as China's fast-living millennials move away from traditional tea in favor of the invigorating coffee, Pu'er's farmers are catering to the demand.
Yunnan accounts for 98% of China's coffee harvest, with half coming from the misty landscape around Pu'er. Today, China is the 13th biggest coffee producer in the world—rising from zero output three decades ago to 136,000 tons annually today.
In April, Seattle's annual Specialty Coffee Expo decided to showcase China as its portrait country of origin. It follows on the heels of Starbucks' launching its first single-origin Yunnan coffee last year after eight years of partnership with Yunnan farmers.
With global coffee prices at record lows, Yunnan farmers are processing beans in bespoke ways to create distinct flavors—allowing them to enter the market of specialty coffee.
"At current coffee prices, I can't even feed my family," says the farmer Yang. "My only way out is to produce specialty coffee, to make the best coffee beans."That means letting beans dry in their cherries, thus producing a wild, fruity flavor via environmental fermentation（发酵）,or allowing them to "honey" in their sugary inner layer, which adds a subtle sweetness.
乘坐飞机须知Back in the tasting room, Y ang awaits the experts' verdict on whether all that extra effort was worthwhile."If I told you this was Colombian or Panama coffee, nobody would argue with me," says Samuel Gurel, CEO of Pu'er's Torch Coffee Roasters, as Yang breaks into a huge grin. "It's a great example of how Chinese coffee is evolving."
1、What caused Liu Ying to quit her former job to grow coffee in Pu’er?
A．Yunnan accounts for 98% of China’s coffee harvest.
B．There is a huge potential of coffee market in China.
C．She wants to introduce the younger generation to coffee.
D．She is tired of her work in private-equity investment.
2、According to the passage, we know that Arabica coffee __________.
A．is mainly grown in Yunnan
B．appeals to Chinese, especially the young
C．is a more invigorating drink compared with tea
D．needs mild climate to grow
3、The “extra effort” in the last paragraph refers to __________.
A．processing coffee beans in bespoke ways to create distinct flavors
B．forming a business partnership with Starbucks
C．lowering the price of Yunnan coffee beans
D．replacing Yunnan coffee with Colombian or Panama coffee
4、What does Samuel Gurel think of Yang’s coffee beans?
A．praiseworthy B．arguable
社保卡余额查询C．inferior D．unsatisfactory
23．（8分）It was late August when I got a call from a grandmother. She lives in Seeley Lake, Montana, and she has heard we have air purifiers (净化器) with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) air-cleaners that can help with smoke. She needs one fo r the baby’s room. I explained we didn’t have any and told her how to purchase one.
怎么注册公司She coughed and went silent with disappointment before asking how much they cost. Almost every person I talk to in Seeley Lake has this cough. “The family doesn’t have much money,” she said, but she promised to order a filter for the child. Small filters—ones that can clean a bedroom of up to 75 square feet—cost about $70 each.
The next day, the wildfire that had been burning for weeks in the Lolo National Forest, northeast of town, moved closer to the woman’s neighborhood, and the county sheriff’s office evacuated (疏散) the area. I wondered whether the air-cleaner would be there when the family returned home. I knew the smoke would be.
As an air-quality specialist with the Missoula City-County Health Department in Montana, my job is to understand air pollution, control it as much as possible, and help people protect themselves from its effects. I focus on smoke management: issuing permits for outdoor burns and updating residents about what to expect from the smoke when wildfires send it our way.
Never had we seen so many wildfires so close to home for so many weeks. There are six classes on the
