He wrote to all three addresses and was surprised to receive responses from each one. It was this experience that aroused his interest in hunting and collecting messages in bottles, and he hasn39。t stopped looking for them since. “I find my messages in bottles on the beach of Zandvoort, where I live, and on the Dutch Islands,” Kruiswijk recently told Great Big Story. “Messages in bottles is slow mail. It takes you days, or weeks, or months to find a bottle. ” In the early years, Kruiswijk would find as many as 50 bottles a year, but since 2000 that has slowed to around 2030 finds, mainly due to beach cleaning efforts. He believes that the rise of the Internet has also played a role in the diminishing number of messages in bottles, telling Dutch newssite PZC, “I used to get a response at half the bottle messages that I answered. Now that39。s less。 many people want 39。instant satisfaction39。.” Throwing a message in a bottle out into the sea is a longstanding human tradition dating back to 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. In the past bottles have also been used to send distress messages from sailors in trouble. They also have been used for memorial tributes, or to send loved ones39。 ashes on a final journey. One of the more mon uses though is just to send invitations out to prospective pen pals, a quaint notion in these modern times, but, as Kruiswijk so clearly shows, an effective one.（1）What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

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年的希臘哲學家西奧弗拉特斯時期，用瓶子來研究海洋水流，而且科學家現(xiàn)在仍在用。故選C?！军c評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和段落大意三個題型的考查，是一篇新聞報道，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀下列短文，從短文后每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met) is one of the world39。s largest and finest art museums.
