When my parents asked me what I wanted for that birthday, I said a bicycle. My father looked a bit sad. He asked me why I didn’t want a tree house. I looked at his face carefully. My dad turned around and I followed him. We went into our new backyard, right to the biggest tree. He pointed up---there was my tree house.。

They’ll collect double the amount and work for longer hours,” Sharanya says. “I learned from a science journal that solar panels moving to always face the sun collect more energy than stationary ones. So I determined to design a trash-collecting robot powered by a sun-tracking solar panel.”However, Sharanya had no experience in robotics, so it was a completely new experience. She firmly believed there’s no instant way to success and that it’s just a process of trial and error. Throughout the project, she studied operating instructions repeatedly and had to use tons of power tools and cut pieces of metal to certain lengths. Her dad would come to her rescue whenever she accidentally burned a wire. “It’s difficult to follow the scientific method, but sticking to this and changing just one variable at a time gets you the best results,” Sharanya says.Sharanya’s robot has trash and recycling bins and moves with motorized wheels. The device’s front and back have object-detecting sensors. One end of the robot. has a rubbish-collecting moveable arm with a pan to gather objects and drop them into the trash or recycling bins. This pan also contains a metal-detecting sensor to sort metal recyclables into the appropriate place. A solar panel sits at the robot's other end; extended into the air. Attached to it is a light-tracking device that follows the sun, enabling the solar panel to move accordingly.In tests, the sun-tracking solar panel generated more power than a stationary one over six hours. And the robot correctly identified an object every time it was presented. It picked up items and accurately classified aluminum cans as recyclables 80 percent of the time. Sharanya is confident that the robot will soon sort plastic and glass by striking the items and detecting the difference in their frequencies.4．What led Sharanya to intend a sun-tracking solari panel for, the robot?A．Her survey findings.B．The knowledge she acquired.C．Her social experiences.D．The extra courses she attended.5．What does paragraph 3 focus on concerning Sharanya?A．What contributed to her success.B．Why she didn’t fear failure.C．Whether goals counted in her work.D．How she was financially supported. 6．What may be the function of the object-detecting sensors?A．To identify colors.B．To locate metal materials.C．To discover garbage.D．To analyze moving routes.7．What does the author mainly want to say in the last paragraph?A．The robot needs retesting.B．The robot reached no desired effect.C．The robot enjoys wide popularity.D．The robot faces a promising prospect.From the beloved New York Times opinion writer Margaret Renkl comes a "howling (咆哮) love letter to the world": an insightful book that tracks the passing of seasons.In The Comfort of Crows (乌鸦), Margaret Renkl presents fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard in the state of Tennessee over the course of a year. As we move through the seasons—from a crow spied on an icy New Year's Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year, to the unwillingly departing bluebirds ofDecember, revisiting the nest they used in spring—what develops is a picture of joy and sorrow: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world, and sorrow over winters that end too soon and dramatically decreasing songbird population.Renkl acknowledges her desperation at the human-caused crises the natural world faces, and her determination not to stand by. "The very least I owe my wild neighbors is a willingness to witness their struggle, to make up for their losses in every way I can, and to speak on their behalf about all the ways I can't," she writes.Renkl makes good on that commitment. She ensures fallen leaves in her yard are left where they were so that insects overwinter and birds can dine there. She also creates a shelter for frogs in the form of a large tank filled with water and frog-friendly plants.With these steps, Renkl refuses to give up in the face of human-caused global warming that is changing our environment and harming other species. Renkl sees, this harm primarily through absences. For two decades,; Renkl hasn't seen a turtle in her yard, and only one grasshopper has appeared in each of the last two years. Fewer birds come as well.The phenomenon of ecological damage is alarmingly apparent, To help, we humans do require fuel to restore our destroyed spirit. Fortunately, you can find that in Renkl's book. Find it as well in the informative, original full-color illustrations, all done by the author's brother Billy Renkl. The animals and plants so valued by Renkl need us now more than ever.8．What season does the content of the book start with?A．Spring.B．Summer.C．Fall.D．Winter.9．What can we learn about Renkl from paragraph 3 and 4?A．She's to blame for environmental issues.B．She shows her love for animals by action.C．The last thing she'll do is sympathize with animals.D．Her inability to preserve nature discouraged her from attempts.10．How did Renkl find the harm of global warming to other species?A．By hearsay.B．By official document.C．By journal.D．By personal observation11．What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?A．The book.B．Destroyed spirit.C．The fuel.D．Ecological damage.Your mind’s being drawn away while you’re engaging in enjoyable activities can reduce satisfaction and result in over-consuming everyday pleasures later, according to new research.The study looked at how distraction affects “hedonic consumption”—pleasure-related consumption like buying goods or experiencing cheerful things because they make us feel good and not necessarily because we need them. When distracted while doing a pleasant activity, people are likely to experience less enjoyment from it than if they were fully focused. That may lead to dissatisfaction and drive more consumption to compensate for that shortfall.The researchers invited 122 participants who reported on how much they expected to enjoy their lunch before eating it and were then asked to eat their lunch under one of three conditions: no distraction, mild distraction (watching a video), and high distraction (playing a video game). After lunch, participants reported on their actual enjoyment, satisfaction, desire for further satisfaction and amount consumed. They also reported on their snacking later in the day.Participants who ate while distracted reported lower enjoyment and satisfaction, which was associated with increased snacking afterward and a more general desire for further satisfaction.The researchers also followed 220 participants for weeks to investigate this broader effect beyond food. As with the food-based experiment, they found when people were distracted during consumption, they were likely to enjoy a product less than they hoped, feel less satisfied and need further satisfaction.“Overconsumption often results due to a lack of self-control,”said lead author Murphy, PhD, of Ghent University. “However, our findings suggest overconsumption may also often be driven by the simple human desire to reach a certain level of enjoyment from an activity. When distraction gets in the way, it’s likely we may try to compensate by consuming more.”Murphy and his team plan to conduct more research to confirm the existence of a hedonic compensation effect. If it’s confirmed, they intend to apply interventions that could help people pay more attention to their consumption experiences in an effort to lower the likelihood of overconsumption. “By understanding the key drivers of hedonic overconsumption, we can develop strategies to prevent its occurrence,” said Murphy.12．What do the underlined words“compensate for” mean in paragraph 2?A．Add to.B．Look into.C．Make up for.D．Put up with. 13．Participants who are eating but attracted to video games tend to ______ soon.A．have refreshments B．purchase luxuriesC．watch more videos D．hang about with partners14．What may be the newly found driver of overconsumption according to Murphy?A．Divided attention.B．Addiction to games.C．Others’interventions.D．Lack of self-discipline.15．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?!A．There exist data errors in the study.B．The study outcomes deserve further proof.C．Overconsumption will be rooted out in the near future.D．Murpby’s solutions to overconsumption are conventional.Have you ever sat in front of a blank canvas (画布), just out of ideas and feeling completely uninspired? 16 The good news is that as an artist you can develop that ability.The best way is to have as many experiences as possible. The more experiences you have, the more ideas will flow to your artwork. 17 If you want to draw birds, you must watch how they move, discuss them with knowledgeable professionals and view other artists’ works of the same subject. It’ll boost your creativity towards what you wish to paint.Making notes of your thoughts and reactions can also be a useful tool. Some artists feel content simply by drawing their reactions and emotions, but others find more understanding in their experiences by recording things to later process. 18Join an art community and reach out to those like-minded. 19 Surrounding yourself with fellow art lovers will push you to explore diverse areas of the art world. Remember such experiences are fuel for creativity.20 You just need to know how to develop that creativity intentionally. It’s a skill that takes attention, but once cultivated, it can enable you to create more impressive works of art. A．Creativity doesn’t always come naturally.B．Plus, you need to investigate the experiences.C．New ideas can give a whole fresh meaning to life.D．Ask them how they exercise and enhance creativity.E．Learning how to be more creative in art couldn’t be easier.F．Carry a journal around and take down what catches your eye.G．We have the false, impression that artists are simply born with talents.二、完形填空One July afternoon witnessed a touching rescue that happened in Zhanjiang, China’s Guangdong Province.Liang Yongyu, a 33-year-old father of two, was on his way home when he heard someone shouting, “Look, there is smoke up there, and a child.” 21 his head, Liang saw thick smoke pouring out of the third-floor balcony (阳台) 22 with guardrails, where a frightened boy of about 6 got 23 with the heavy fire spreading inside the apartment and 24 the way out.

Skiing down a hill he had been on countless times, he hit a jump too fast. When waking up in the intensive care unit, he learned from the doctor he was left with a severely broken back, which would significantly impact his lower body functions.Despite being told that he might never walk again, Mason’s unbending optimism and determination have fueled his extraordinary journey of recovery and self-discovery. Following his accident, Mason entered a health recovery center at Craig Hospital, Colorado. There he was surrounded by others on similar paths, which, coupled with his positive outlook, played a crucial role in his recovery. Mason’s journey was not just about regaining physical strength but also about overcoming mental barriers. Through willpower, he began to walk again, proving that the impossible could be made possible.Mason’s newfound viewpoint on life led him to try activities that he once thought were beyond his reach. From surfing and rock climbing to competing in triathlons, he rediscovered parts of himself.

Smart cameras, equipped with software from French company Veesion, detect questionable behaviour and help report thieving from shops. With 100 million euros lost to shoplifters last year, Jumbo is starting a trial in its own shops this week.The smart AI technology uses complicated software connected to the existing cameras and security network through the Internet, It then automatically monitors all the cameras at the same time for potential shopping activity. The technology is not faultless, but it significantly increases the chances of being caught. When a customer puts a product in his pocket or bag, the smartcamera notices and reports it. This ensures that shoplifters can be caught in the act.At Jumbo’s supermarket in Hengelo, Netherlands, 47 cameras have been fitted. AI is also being applied at other Jumbo locations. The cameras are strategically placed to identify questionable behaviour as effectively as possible. The system doesn’t actually label people as thieves; rather, it reminds the staff to check on those people as they might steal things. Sometimes the system raises an unjustified alarm. Nevertheless, it has proved a valuable tool for staff.More than 110 supermarkets in the Netherlands have already used Veesion’s technology. According to the Personal Data Authority, supermarkets are allowed to use such technologies, provided they can properly justify why it is necessary.The use of AI in stores is not just limited to stealing prevention. Globally, various AI. technologies are being used to improve the shopping experience and take full advantage of business processes. Also, shops use them for customized marketing. Michaels Stores, for example, a shop selling handmade goods, uses AI to tailor its advertising to each customer, which makes them feel more engaged and more likely to receive special offers that suit them. The company has created a system that helps create advertising copy and understand s which messages work best for different types of customers.8．On getting an alarm from the system, what should shop staff do?A．Arrest the suspect.B．Find out the truth.C．Make an emergency call.D．Preserve photographic evidence.9．On what condition is Veesion’s technology permitted in supermarkets?A．They can prove it reasonable to use.B．They stop reporting thieving to the police.C．They can indicate it isn’t meant for thieves.D．They’ve suffered massive shopping losses.10．What does the underlined word “tailor” mean in paragraph 5?A．Equalize.B．Promise.C．Personalize.D．Teach. 11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．AI: End of Stealing B．Benefits and Drawbacks of AIC．Can AI Dominate Us?D．Jumbo Uses AI to Fight ShopliftingA new study finds the body undergoes significant, systematic changes across multipleorgans during prolonged periods of fasting, demonstrating evidence of health benefits beyond weight loss. It also shows any potential health-transforming changes appear to occur only after three days without food.Over centuries, humans have developed the ability to survive without food for long. Fasting is practiced by people worldwide for different medical and cultural purposes. During fasting, the body changes its source and type of energy, switching from consumed calories to using its own fat stores. However, beyond this change in fuel sources, little is known about how the body responds to prolonged periods without food. Novel techniques allowing researchers to measure thousands of proteins (蛋白质) in our blood provide the opportunity to systematically study molecular(分子) adaptions to fasting in great detail.Researchers followed 12 healthy volunteers participating in a seven-day water-only fast. The volunteers were monitored closely on a daily basis to record changes in the levels of around 3, 000 proteins in their blood before, during, and after the fast. By identifying which proteins are involved in the body’s response, the researchers could then predict potential health outcomes of prolonged fasting by analyzing information from numerous studies.As expected, the researchers observed the body switching energy sources within the first three days of fasting. The volunteers lost an average of 5.7 kg of both fat mass and lean (瘦肉)mass. After three days of eating after fasting, the weight stayed off—the loss of lean was almost completely recovered, but the fat mass stayed off.For the first time, the researchers observed the body undergoing distinct changes in protein levels after three days of fasting—indicating a whole-body response to complete calorie restriction. Overall, one in three of the proteins measured changed significantly during fasting across all major organs. These changes were consistent across the volunteers.Head of the research Claudia Langenberg said, “Our results provide solid evidence for the health benefits of fasting beyond weight loss, but these were only visible after three days of total caloric restriction—later than we previously thought.”12．What does the study focus on?A．Health benefits of nutrient intake.B．Links between dieting and culture.C．Maximum duration of human fasting.D．Effects of skipping food on health. 13．What enables researchers to identify multi-organ response to fasting on. a molecular level?A．Enthusiastic participants.B．Emerging testing means.C．Deep-rooted belief in fasting.D．Historical records of fasting.14．What happens to the body after three food-free days?A．Certain proteins are shifted.B．The weight remains unchanged.C．Lean mass returned to normal.D．Fat mass substantially increases.15．How may Claudia feel about their study outcomes?A．Satisfied.B．Confused.C．Regretful.D．Embarrassed.Human beings need interpersonal connection. But, in fact, learning how to let go of that pressure to be accompanied has unique upsides. Time alone allows you to reconnect with your own intentions. 16Start small. Figure out what you’d be most comfortable doing, whether it’s sitting at a local restaurant for dinner, or hitting up the bar, and do that. 17Bring a book or a journal. 18 When feeling you’re so alone and stressed in a cafe, you have an activity to engage in.

山东省烟台市2020-2021学年高二下学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Hot Technology Products at CES 2020The consumer electronics show, or CES, presents new technology developments annually. Here are some latest products launched at CES 2020.The Sero TVSamsung introduced a TV that can be used to watch video designed for a smartphone. The Sero TV does this by turning itself from the normal TV position to an upright position that looks like the shape of a phone. The V can connect to mobile devices to play video directly from the phone.Smart waste canA company called TOWNEW presented;waste can designed for the home that does a lot of the dirty work on its own. When the can is full, the user touches a button to activate the machine's smart abilities. The device then completely closes off the waste bag inside, puts a new one in place, all by itself, and raises its top so the user can pick up and throw away the bag. Invisible car hood(引擎盖)Automobile industry company Continental showed off a new technology that seems to make the front end of a vehicle disappear. The technology, called "Transparent Hood," aims to make driving safer and easier.

On realizing his wallet was lost, he contacted the airline to see if anyone had turned it in—but to no avail. Since the wallet contained his ID, a signed pa ycheck, his debit card and $60 in cash, he “feared the worst”.Shortly after the flight, however, Hunter was shocked to receive a package in the mail from an unknown sender. Inside was his wallet-along with an additional $40 in cash.“Found this on a Front ier flight from Omaha to Denver-row 12, seat F stuck between the seat and wall,” read a letter in the package. “Thought you might want it hack. All the best. PS: I rounded your cash up to an even $100 so you could celebrate getting your wallet hack. Have f un!”Hunter's mother, Jeannie, posted a photo of the letter to social media in hopes that they would be able to track down the sender and thank them for their kindness. All they had to go on was that the letter was sent from Applied Underwriters in Omaha and the sender's initials were signed: "T.B".The Good Man was later identified as Todd Brown, a father-of-five who was delighted at the chance to "have a little fun" with helping out a hard-working stranger. Brown says that he often tries to do good deeds without any recognition, thus why he didn't sign his full name on the letter, but Jeannie later insisted on praising the Nebraska native on social media.“I try to teach my children to do the right things in life, help people when you can despite the outco me,” she wrote on Facebook. “This story is more about restoring faith in people than anything”.4．What does the underlined word "to no avail" in paragraph 2 mean?A．Under discussion. B．In vain. C．Beyond belief. D．At a loss. 5．Why did Jeannie upload a picture of the letter to social media?A．To throw light on the truth.B．To draw attention to Hunter's lost wallet.C．To find out the sender to express gratefulness.D．To sing high praise for the sender's generosity.6．Which of the following best describes Brown?A．Innocent. B．Warm-hearted. C．Romantic. D．Easy-going. 7．What's the best title for the text?A．Hunter Shamatt-a Lucky Man B．Young Passenger Reunites with Sister C．Helping Needy People Is a Great Virtue D．Stranger Returns Lost Wallet with More Cash InsideThe outbreak of locusts, an insect that mainly lives in Africa and Asia, is the worst experienced by Kenya in 70 years. The crowds are some three times the size of New York City, eating their way through thousands of acres of crops and animal grassland and destroying livelihoods in the process.“These hungry things are alarming,” says Keith Cressman, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's senior locust forecasting officer. "A crowd the size of Manhattan can, in a single day, eat the same amount of food as everyone in New York and California combined."Desert locusts are infamous for their ability to breed(繁育)rapidly in large numbers every three months. And with some help from the wind, they can travel as much as 80 miles a day. Most years, the insects stay in African deserts. However, under the right environmental conditions, they can multiply quickly, spread as much as 400 times every six months and cause extensive destruction if left unchecked.“The insect has the ability to take advantage of good conditions.” Cressman says.The "good conditions" the scientist is referring to began in mid-2018 when a rainstorm from the Indian Ocean struck a remote area of the Arabian Peninsula known as the "Empty Quarter". Normally, it would dry out within a short period, killing most of the locust population, which depends on green plants for food. However, in late 2018, a second rainstorm struck the same region. The huge sandy area got wet, which is exactly what desert locusts need to lay their eggs and breed. The extra food supply caused the population to explode for the second time in six months.Luckily, the locusts, experts say, are easy to control with chemicals. Kenya badly needs equipment and a steady supply of chemicals to effectively wipe out the massive insects. Hopefully, leaders worldwide will recognize the tough situation and contribute generously to control the locust outbreak.8．What can we infer from what Cressman says in paragraph 2?A．Little can dull locusts' appetite.B．Urgent action must be taken against locusts.C．Overpopulation in big cities leads to food shortages.D．New York and California should meet challenges together.9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．Locusts' living conditions. B．Locusts' destructive effect. C．Locusts' daily travel distance. D．Locusts' super reproductive power. 10．For what purpose does the author mention "good conditions"?A．To explain immediate causes of the locust outbreak.B．To remind locals to preserve the environment.C．To analyze how to prevent locust outbreak.D．To highlight the strength of two rainstorms.二、七选五Each year, thousands of U.S. families open their homes and hearts to visitors from all over the world. In a homestay, students can observe, learn and experience a new lifestyle and culture, while practicing English skills in a home environment. Successful homestay experiences can help to ease homesickness for international students.11．What makes homestays special is the daily experience of living with hosts who arc eager to share their way of life. Homestay hosts will reflect the diversity of the region in which they live. They may be single parents, retired couples or young families.12．What they will have in common is a desire to share their homes and their time with international students.13．Most homestay hosts will give the student a list of simple house rules to help everyone live happily together. They may give guidelines about Internet usage, lawn勿(洗衣房), television viewing, meal times, keeping the bedroom and bathroom clean, and money matters.14．For example, at the University of Delaware, all homestay hosts living more than one mile from campus(校园)must provide transportation to and from campus every day of the week. Hosts must also provide each student with a private, furnished room which has a desk, a bed, a closet and enough lighting. Students will have access to a shared or private bathroom as well.There is no better way to gain special insight into U.S. culture, while improving Englishlanguage skills, than by participating in a homestay. It's not only important to get high scores in English testing, but to also learn how to get along with people from all over the world.15．Occasionally, problems arise that cannot be solved. In these cases, the student can ask for another homestay or explore other housing options. The homestay coordinator(协调员)will work closely with the student to ensure that the next homestay will be a good match. A．Unfortunately, not all homestay matches are perfect.B．Living in a homestay will always require an adjustment period.C．They will come from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds.D．Homestay hosts are expected to provide an English-only speaking environment.E.Homestays provide students with a well-rounded education and great social skills.F.Also, they can help students smoothly adapt to the life of an American university.G.For universities offering homestays, it's important to set standards for licensed hosts.三、完形填空Last semester in my final year of high school, I had Mr. Smith as my teacher, a teacher that I can never forget.I was not necessarily the best student when it came to taking 16 While I 17 learning, I had to work extra hard to get good 18 .

Maybe an email?Nolan Brown found out he’d been accepted to Butler University when he answered the front door Thursday afternoon and found a 65 - pound English bulldog on the other side. As the university’s live mascot（吉祥物）, Trip, tried to nose his way inside, representatives from Butler hand - delivered his admission packet. “We came from Butler to let you know you’ve been admitted to the Class of 2022,” said Michael Kaltenmark, Butler’s director.Kaltenmark and Trip make anywhere from 40 to 100 home visits each year. Brown was just the seventh slop of the year and among the first likely Butler students to find out he’d been admitted. “These students have no idea.” Kaltenmark said, “which is really fun.”It’s also really effective. Kaltenmark said students who get visited by Tri p are three to four times more likely to choose Butler than students who are admitted but don’t get the personal visit. University administrators have been pleased with the results. too. “President Danko wants to done the dog and gel like 30 more,” Kaltenm ark joked.Nolan will wait to hear from a few other schools, but hopes he ends up in Butler’s strategic communications program. “I’ve been waiting anxiously for admissions from universities. It’s nice to know I’ve been accepted somewhere. This is the fir st one, and it feels good to get that monkey off my back,” he said.Trip will continue to make visits throughout the college admissions season. Kaltenmark says they’ll make more stops around the Indianapolis area. “Sometimes the students already know they’ve been admitted, but Trip might make their decision easier.

But her film career is far from her only noteworthy achievement; she was also a brilliant inventor. In 1942, she and composer George Antheil received a patent（专利）for a device that could change radio signal frequencies. The purpose of the technology was to keep military enemies from figuring out messages. But it did more than that - it laid a foundation for the wireless technology we use today.Maria Sibylla MerianToday, children can happily explain how a caterpillar（毛虫）tums into a butterfly. But there was a time when no one knew this. Until the 1670s, scientists thought that caterpillars and butterflies were two totally different creatures. Thanks to Maria, we know the truth about these beautiful winged insects. Fascinated by insects, she began collecting, studying and drawing them as a child. It was through her study of caterpillars that she discovered the truth about their life cycles. She published two volumes of naturalist research, which provide major contributions to the field of entomology（昆虫学）.Ada LovelaceAda Lovelace, the daughter of celebrated British poet Lord Byron, wasn’t a poet herself but the world’s first computer programmer. We think of computers as a rec ent invention, but people were toying with the idea of “computing machines” in the mid – 19th century when Lovelace was alive. Lovelace’s mathematical genius was apparent at a young age and caught the attention of Cambridge professor Charles Babbage, who was working to design early computing machines that would be able to quickly solve math problems. Lovelace wrote some suggestions as to how to program the machines to work out numbers.In addition to designing this early computer program, she was also the first to surest that these computers might be able to do more than compute. She imagined them doing almost everything, from producing images to composing music.8．What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to?A．The technology. B．The patent.C．The device. D．The film career.9．Before Maria’s discovery, people thought that .A．a butterfly was insect without wingsB．a butterfly was turned from a caterpillarC．a caterpillar had nothing to do with a butterflyD．a caterpillar and a butterfly were insects of a kind10．What can we learn about Ada Lovelace from the text?A．She possessed literary talent just like her father.B．She foresaw various function& of the computer.C．She received education in Cambridge University.D．She is considered to have invented the computer.11．What did the three women have in common?A．They discovered priceless things existing in nature.B．They were entirely devoted to women’s rights.C．They were expert at information technology.D．They made great contributions to science.Exploring the sands on the beach, Tonya III man came across a lidless boule. She picked it up, looked inside and noticed something. She turned it upside down. Out came a damp, neatly rolled piece of paper. Tonya took it home, dried and unrolled it.What caught her eye was the year field, 18 . Though at first sceptical of finding something this old so easily, she continued reading. It began with some coordinates (坐标). Below was a request in German asking the bolded finder to put down the date and location of where it was found and return it to the nearer German embassy.The Illmans took the note Rosa Anderson, a curator (馆长) at the Western Australian Museum. Soon Anderson called, saying he had been able to locate a 19th - century ship named Paula. Even more exciting was that experts in Germany were able to track down Paula’s logbooks and find a record by a “Captain O. Diekmann,” confirming that a bottle had been thrown overboard on June 12. 1886 - the date on the message. The sailor had also listed the coordinates of the ship’s location, which matched the ones on the note.
