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.

Its most famous sufferer was famed physicist Stephen Hawking, who died on March 14, 2018 at the age of 76.Hawking, diagnosed with the condition in 1963, lived with it for more than 50 years — a remarkably long time for an ALS sufferer. The disease left him paralyzed and completely dependent on others and technology for everything: bathing, dressing, eating, mobility and speech. He was able to move only a few fingers on one hand."I try to lead as normal a life as possible, and not think about my condition, or regret the things it prevents me from doing, which are not that many," he wrote on his website."I have been lucky that my condition has progressed more slowly than is often the case. But it shows that one need not lose hope."Hawking's life, including his battle with ALS, was made into a 2014 biopic, The Theory of Everything, starring Eddie Redmayne.The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that 20,000 to 30,000 people have ALS in the United States, with about 5,000 new cases diagnosed every year. People usually find out that they have it between 55 and 75 years of age. On average, patients live two to five years after symptoms develop.For reasons not yet understood, military veterans are twice as likely to be diagnosed with ALS as the general public, according to the ALS Association. Scientists have been studying many factors that could be linked with ALS, such as heredity (遗传) and environmental exposures.12. According to the text, ALS _______.A. is linked with climate changesB. leads to death in one or two yearsC. affects the nerve cells all over the bodyD. makes people lose control of muscle movement13. From the text we can infer that Hawking ______.A. died of an unknown diseaseB. lived with ALS for 55 yearsC. felt desperate in his last yearsD. was paralyzed due to poor treatment14. What is the situation of ALS in the US?A. Over 30,000 people suffer from ALS.B. ALS is usually found among the elderly people.C. Patients often enjoy a long lifespan despite ALS.D. More and more new cases are reported every year.15. What is the text mainly about?A. The symptoms and possible cures of ALS.B. A biographical film about Stephen Hawking.C. A general introduction of the disease of ALS.D. Life of the famous physicist, Stephen Hawking.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
