【題目】Just weeks after a special memorial voyage to mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, an Australian billionaire has announced plans to build an exact replica(復(fù)制品) of the Titanic, which is just as similar to the original one as possible. The Titanic replica will make its first voyage from Southampton, England to New York in 2016.

The Titanic is a famous ship that sank in 1912. The attractive story of the ocean liner(郵輪) has made millions of people interested in it around the world. It was believed to be an unsinkable ship but it hit an iceberg and sank on its first voyage. More than 1,500 people died in the sinking of the Titanic, which at the time was the world’s largest and most luxurious ocean liner.

When fully built, the Titanic II will be 270 meters (886 feet) long and capable of holding 1,680 passengers. Unlike the original Titanic which was powered by coal-fired boiler and steam engines, the Titanic II will have modern diesel(柴油機(jī)) and electric engines. Also unlike the first Titanic, the Titanic II will have more than enough lifeboats to accommodate everyone on board if something should go wrong.

When asked whether the new replica would sink, Mr. Palmer replied: “Of course it will sink if you put a hole in it. He also added “It will be designed as a modern ship with all the technology to ensure that doesn’t happen.”

When Mr. Palmer was asked if he expected his Titanic to be successful, he simply said: “At my age, you don’t really worry so much about whether you’ll make money or lose money on something, but I believe that it is worth building it.”

A. Titanic II will be powered by modern diesel and electric engines.

【3】細(xì)節(jié)題。倒數(shù)第三段第二句Unlike the original Titanic which was powered by coal-fired boiler and steam engines, the Titanic II will have modern diesel(柴油機(jī)) and electric engines.不像原始的泰坦尼克號(hào)以燒煤的鍋爐和蒸汽引擎為動(dòng)力。泰坦尼克二號(hào)將會(huì)使用現(xiàn)代化的柴油機(jī)和電力引擎。故選A

【4】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后一句話：but I believe that it is worth building it.但是我相信它是值得建的。故選C

【題目】A

Before he sailed round the world alone, Francis Chichester had already surprised his friends several times. He had tried to fly round the world but failed. That was in 1931.

The years passed. He gave up flying and began sailing. He enjoyed it greatly. Chichester was already 58 years old when he won the first solo transatlantic sailing race. His old dream of going round the world came back, but this time he would sail.His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, as he had lung cancer. But Chichester was determined to carry out his plan. In August 1966, at the age of nearly 65, an age when many men retire, he began the greatest voyage of his life.

Chichester covered 14100 miles before stopping in Sydney, Australia. This was more than twice the distance anyone had previously sailed alone. He arrived in Australia on 12 December, just 107 days out from England. He received a warm welcome from the Australians and from his family who had flown there to meet him. On shore, Chichester could not walk without help. Everybody said the same thing: he had done enough; he must not go any further. But he did not listen.

After resting in Sydney for a few weeks, Chichester set off once more in spite of his friends' attempts to dissuade him. The second half of his voyage was by far the more dangerous part, during which he sailed round the treacherous Cape Horn.After succeeding in sailing round Cape Horn, Chichester sent the following radio message to London: "I feel as if I had wakened from a nightmare. Wild horses could not drag me down to Cape Horn and that sinister Southern Ocean again."

Just before 9 o'clock on Sunday evening 28 May 1967, he arrived back in England, where a quarter of a million people were waiting to welcome him.Queen Elizabeth II knighted(授以爵位) him with the very sword that Queen Elizabeth I had used almost 400 years earlier to knight Sir Francis Drake after he had sailed round the world for the first time.The whole voyage from England and back had covered 28,500 miles. It had taken him nine months, of which the sailing time was 226 days. He had done what he wanted to accomplish.

【1】What can we learn about Chichester?

A.He failed the solo transatlantic sailing race in 1959.

B.He was a brave and determined man.

C.The second half of his voyage was not as dangerous as the first half.

D.The radio message expressed his concern about the sailing.

【2】What did Queen Elizabeth II do after Chichester arrived back in England?

A.She called on the English to learn form him.

B.She was waiting to congratulate on his success in sailing.

C.She thought poorly of his achievements.

D.She knighted him for praising him.

【3】We can infer from the text that ____

A.Anyone who had sailed alone traveled less than 7050miles before 1966

B.Chichester sailed round the Atlantic in 1931

C.Most of the English retire at the age of 65

D.Chichester died of lung cancer in 1967 after he went back to England
