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?
选项
A、Because it would make her feel uncomfortable.
B、Because she was too sick to attend the ceremony.
C、Because she didn’t like being treated as a celebrity.
D、Because she had to make some miserable speeches.
答案
A
解析
细节题。文中提到Dean拒绝了电影《泰坦尼克号》的邀请是因为她觉得如果她再看到当年给她及她的家庭带来灾难的情景,她会感到不安(it would be too upsetting)。upsetting意为“令人心烦意乱的,令人苦恼的”。A项的意思与此一致。
