Part II Listening Comprehension
Section A
News Report One
（1）A message in a bottle sent out to sea by a New Hampshire man more than five decades ago was found 1,500 miles
away and has been returned to his daughter. The long-lost message was discovered by Clint Buffington of Utah while he
was vacationing. Buffington says he found a soda bottle half buried in the sand that “looked like it had been there since the
beginning of time.”
The note inside the bottle said, “Return to 419 Ocean Street and receive a reward of $150 from Richard and Tina Pierce,
owners of the Beachcomber Motel.”
The motel was owned by the parents of Paula Pierce in 1960. Her father had written the notes as a joke and had thrown
it into the Atlantic Ocean. Buffington flew to New Hampshire to deliver that message to Pola Pierce. (2)She held up to her
father’s promise, giving Buffington that reward. But the biggest reward is the message in a bottle finding its way back home.
Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.
未听先知：预览两道题个选项，由 return、bottled message 和 history 等词可以初步判断，该新闻与归还漂流瓶里的
便条有关。第 1 题各选项均为概括性比较强的名词短语，可能考查新闻的主旨；第 2 题各选项的主语均为 She，结
合 wanted to、asked by her father to do so 可推测，此题考查女士做某事的原因。
1. What is the news report mainly about?
答案：A
详解：新闻开篇指出，新罕布什尔州的一位先生把一个装有便条的瓶子扔到海里，五十年后被人在 1,500 英里外的
海滩捡到并归还给这位先生的女儿。由此可知，新闻的主要内容是漂流瓶中的便条归还主人女儿，答案为 A。
2.Why did Paula Pierce give Clint Buffington the reward?
答案：B
详解：新闻中提到，Buffington 飞往新罕布什尔州，将便条给了 Paula Pierce. Paula Pierce 遵守父亲的承诺，给予
Buffington 便条中所说的 150 美元的奖励。由此可知，Paula Pierce 给 Buffington 奖励就是为了遵守父亲当年的承诺，答案为 B。
