He believes that the rise of the Internet has also played a role in the diminishing number of messages in bottles”可知,主要是由于清潔海灘的努力,以及互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的興起也對漂流瓶數(shù)量的減少起到了作用。故選C。(4)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“the time of the Greek philosopher Theophrastus, about 310 BC, who used the bottles to study water currents. Scientists still apply the method to this day, as a means to help researchers develop ocean circulation maps, and to crowdsource scientific studies of ocean currents.”可知,在公元前310年的希臘哲學(xué)家西奧弗拉特斯時(shí)期,用瓶子來研究海洋水流,而且科學(xué)家現(xiàn)在仍在用。故選C?!军c(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,推理判斷和段落大意三個題型的考查,是一篇新聞報(bào)道,考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 You39。ll be blind by the time you39。re twentyfive, a doctor at Children39。s Hospital predicted. Your blood sugars are much too high. It consumed me. No matter where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world. I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words. When I was twentyone, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after my twentyfifth birthday, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting. Desperate, I enrolled in (注冊) a sixteenweek program for the blind and visually impaired (損傷的). I learned personal adjustment and the use of a puter with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program. Jaws and WindowEyes are leading software for the blind, my instructor told me. You can use the Internet, and Microsoft with all its tools and features. It39。s amazing! Hope went up for the first time in years. By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and Powerpoint, my instructor added. For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking puter, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock and calculator.(1)What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 1 refer to?
