课时跟踪练(一) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Angela Erdmann aged 62, who lives in Berlin, never thought that one day she would received a letter from her grandfather who had been dead for 69 years. So she felt astonished and moved. More than 100 years ago, a young German man named Richard Platz put a message into a brown beer bottle, then threw the bottle into the Baltic Sea during a nature hike. Platz, the 20-year-old son of a baker, had no way of knowing that his message would survive more than a century. Last month, some fishermen in the Baltic Sea pulled the old beer bottle out of the water, along with their catch. Inside they found a postcard, dated 17 May 1913, from Richard Platz asking for his message to be forwarded (转交) to his address in Berlin, as reported in The Local website. The fishermen thought it was such a miracle (奇迹) that it should be handed to the addressee (收信人). They handed it in the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg. Researchers were then able to locate his granddaughter, Angela Erdmann. She visited the museum last week and was able to hold the bottle. “That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my cheeks，” she told German news agency. Erdmann also said she never knew her mothers father, who reportedly died in 1946 when he was 54 years old. But she said the discovery of his message had inspired her to find out more about him. Some authorities believe that — at 101 years of age — it may be the worlds oldest message in a bottle. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了世界上很可能是最古老的漂流瓶信件：101年前理查德·普拉茨把一个装有明信片的漂流瓶扔进了波罗的海，如今这个漂流瓶历经百年风雨，已经被送交给他的外孙女了。 1．Which of the following shows the right order of what happened to the message? a—Fishermen pulled the old beer bottle out of the water. b—The bottle was thrown into the Baltic Sea. c—Angela Erdmann got the message. d—The message was sent to the International Maritime Museum.
