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、Valuable prints taken from the ship.
B、A suitcase filled with donated clothes.
C、Her lifesaving sack in the disaster.
D、Apology letters to her from the Fund.
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据短文内容可知,Dean在那次拍卖会上卖掉了她的一些纪念品,包括珍贵的带有艺术家签名的泰坦尼克号画作;泰坦尼克号救济基金组织致以她母亲的赔偿信以及一个有着100年历史、装有当年纽约人捐给他们一家人衣服的箱子。所以B选项正确。
