Elizabeth Gladys Dean, the last remaining survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, died Sunday in a private nursing home in England. Dean, who was only nine weeks old, was the youngest passenger on board when the liner hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. Dean’s family had boarded the Titanic at Southampton, heading for a new life in Kansas where her father hoped to open a tobacconist shop. She survived after being bundled up in a sack and carried to safety. Her mother Georgette Eva and brother Bertram also made it, but her father, Bertram Frank, was among those who died. Dean was taken back to Southampton with her family after the disaster. In 1997, Dean was invited to complete her family’s illfated journey to the United States, and accepted, although she turned down an offer to attend the premier of the movie "Titanic" because it would be too upsetting. She moved into a private nursing home in Hampshire after breaking her hip three years ago, and after struggling to pay the bills was forced to sell off some of her memorabilia. At the auction in October 2008 she raised 31,150 pounds, selling off rare prints of the liner signed by the artists as well as compensation letters sent to her mother by the Titanic Relief Fund. Dean was also forced to sell a 100-year-old suitcase filled with clothes donated to her family by the people of New York when they arrived after being rescued.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What do we know about Elizabeth Gladys Dean from the passage?
23. In Dean’s family, who died in the disaster?
24. Why did Dean refuse the invitation for the premier of the movie Titanic?
25. What did Dean sell at the auction in October 2008?

C、She was the youngest passenger on board when the disaster happened.

答案
C
解析
细节题。通过短丈开头可知,本文讲述的是泰坦尼克号最后一位在世的幸存者Dean的故事。根据文章信息可知,这位最后的幸存者周日在英国的一家私人疗养院去世了。当年,她与家人共同乘坐这艘船打算去堪萨斯州开创新生活,那时她是船上最年幼的一位乘客。因此,四个选项中,只有C项的陈述与短文内容一致。
