In an effort to produce the largest, fastest, the most luxurious ship afloat, the British built the Titanic. It was so superior to anything else on the sea that it was considered "unsinkable". So sure of this were the owners that they provided lifeboats for only 950 of its possible 3,500 passengers. Many passengers were aboard the night it rammed an iceberg, only two days at sea and more than half way between England and New York the destination. Because the luxury liner was traveling so fast, lit was impossible to avoid the ghostly looking iceberg. An inextinguishable fire also contributed to the ship’s disaster. Panic increased the number of deaths as people jumped into the icy water or fought to be among the few to board the lifeboats. Four hours after the mishap, another ship, the Carpathia, rescued the survivors, less than a third of those originally aboard. The famous Titanic enjoyed only two days of sailing glory on its maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into 12,000 feet of water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.
The word "inextinguishable" means"______".
选项
答案
uncontrollable
解析
文章第6行“An inextinguishable fire also contributed to the ship’s disaster.”,形容词inextinguishable修饰fire,而后面说这火造成了泰坦尼克的灾难,所以我们可以猜出这是—场大火,一场不能控制、不可能扑灭的火。
