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.
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 dried 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

23．（8分）When Dee Dee Bridgewater learned that she would become a 2017 NEA Jazz Master, a series of thoughts and feelings flooded her mind. “It was so far out of my orbit and just my whole sphere of thinking,” she said in a conversation at NPR this spring, hours before she formally received her award.
She’s 66-far from retirement age in jazz, and on the extreme forward edge of the NEA Jazz Masters people. So she was aware of her relative youth in the field She also recognized that there haven’t been many women in the ranks of NEA Jazz Masters: fewer than 20, out of 145. That idea led her to reflect on her predecessors (前任): legendary singers like Betty Carter* who was seated back in 1992, and Abbey Lincoln, who received the nod in 2003.
Bridgewater sought inspiration and advice from both Carter and Lincoln, as she recalls in this period of Jazz Night, which features music recorded during the season opener for Jazz at Lincoln Center. On a program called “Songs of Freedom”, organized by drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr., Bridgewater sang material associated with Lincoln as well as Nina Simone: an extremely angry song of the civil rights movement, like “Mississippi Goddam”.
A separate concert, “Songs We Love”, found Bridgewater singing less politically charged (but still exciting) fare like “St. James Infirmary”, which appears on her most recent album. In words as well as music, this period reveals how seriously Bridgewater takes that responsibility, seeing as how it connects to her own experience in the jazz lineage. But maybe “seriously” isn’t the right word when it comes to Dee Dee, whose effervescence (欢腾) shines through even in a reflective mood. Join her here for a while; she’s excellent company, no more or less so now that mastery is officially a part of her resume.
1、What did Bridgewater think of her winning the award?
A．It confused her.
B．It was beyond her expectation.
C．It won great popular support for her.
D．It gave her much confidence about her career.
2、What can we learn about the musicians winning NEA Jazz Masters?
A．Women ranked higher than men.
B．Men accounted for a bigger part of them.
C．Most of them were unwilling to retire at first.
D．Many of them received the award at an early age.
3、Who is more likely to have a great influence on Bridgewater?
A．Carter and Lincoln. B．Ulysses and Lincoln.
C．Nina Simone and Carter. D．Nina Simone and Ulysses.
4、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．Bridgewater’s music theme.
B．Bridgewater’s music experience.
C．Bridgewater’s personal characters.
D．Bridgewater’s great achievements.
24．（8分） 83-year-old Antonio Vicente has spent the last four decades of his life fighting against the trend. As Brazilian landowners cut down rainforests to make room for profitable plantations(种植园) and cattle grounds, he struggled to bring the jungles of his childhood back to life.
“When I was a child, the peasants cut down the trees to make grasslands and charcoal, and the water dried up and did not come back,” he told the reporters, “I thought: ‘Water is valuable, no one makes water and the population will not stop growing. What is going to happen? We are going to run out of water.’”
With only some donkeys and a small team of hired workers, Antonio Vicente set about bringing back the forest to his land. What started out as a weekend hobby soon became a permanent way of life, and Antonio recalls often spending whole days and nights in his young jungle, surrounded by rats and foxes, and eating banana sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Over the last 40 years, he has planted an estimated 50,000 trees on his 31-hectare land, which now make up a small but unique area of rainforest, and a haven for wildlife.
As the forest grew, the water returned, and Antonio says that there are now over 20 water, sources on his land that were no longer there when he bought it. Then the animals started making a home there, Today, the forest is alive with the sounds of birds and insects living there, and more species are settling in every year.
“There are toucans(巨嘴鸟), all kinds of birds, squirrels, lizards, and even the boars are returning,” 83-year-old Vicente says, “If you ask me who my family are, I would say all this right here, each one of these that I planted from a seed.”
1、What do we learn about the Brazilian peasants?
A．They wasted much water on farming.
B．They focused on short-term profits,
C．They cared much about the environment.
D．They relied heavily on rainforests for a living.
2、What used to be young Antonio’s biggest concern?
A．Overpopulation. B．Polluted water.
C．Loss of grasslands. D．Water shortage.
3、What does the underlined word “haven” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Trap B．Disaster
C．Shelter D．Balance
4、In the last paragraph, Antonio mainly expresses his ________ .
A．affection for his forest B．thanks for his family
C．deep love for rare birds D．pride as a successful farmer
25．（10分）To eat only a vegan（素食的） diet might sound difficult, especially with many popular dishes containing meat or other animal products. Yet in 2017, veganism was described as “the fastest - growing lifestyle movement” in the UK, according to BBC news.
A study by a UK market research organization, suggests that over 542,000 Brits went vegan during the previous decade, an increase of 360%. And the main force behind this increase was those aged 15-34 years old — 42% of recent vegans fall under that age range.
So why exactly has veganism become so popular among young Brits?
One reason could be that many young people want to protect the environment, as less meat consumption is known to be beneficial to the environment. Global meat manufacturing is believed to cause 18% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions（排放）, even more than that of all the world’s cars, trains and planes combined. Another reason is that many of today’s young people believe that it’s wrong to kill animals to be used as food.
Jess Murray, 22, a student at University College London, said that he chose to become vegan after realizing that eating animals is a choice that people make, rather than something that we need to do to survive. “Becoming vegan was an ethical (道德的) decision,” he told the Guardian.
Social media is also believed to have given rise to the increase in veganism. Platforms such as Facebook allow young vegans to connect with each other much easier, while others such as Instagram have led to the creation of “vegan celebrities (名人)”, who share lips on vegan lifestyles.
Despite the rising of veganism, Laura Wyness, an expert in diet and nutrition, said that
