    请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　The long, lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship is over．

    　　A US Coast Guard cutter poured cannon fire into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship that had been drifting since last year's tsunami(海啸), sinking the vessel into waters more than 305 meters deep in the Gulf of Alaska and removing the danger it posed to shipping and the coastline on Thursday．

    　　The cutter's guns tore holes in the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, and then it began to take on water and lean to one side．In about four hours, the ship disappeared into the sea, said Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow．

    　　The ship had no lights or communications system, and its tank was able to carry more than 7,570 liters of diesel fuel．Officials, however, didn't know exactly how much fuel was aboard．

    　　“It's less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships,” coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said．

    　　The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment．

    　　Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1.5 million tons of garbage of　refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck Japan．

    　　As the coast guard was ready to fire on the vessel, a Canadian fishing vessel, the 19-meter Bernice C, claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters．

    　　Plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship．A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to drag it．

    　　Then the Canadian boat left, and once it was about 10 kilometers from the Japanese vessel, the Coast Guard began to fire, first with 25 mm shells, then a few hours later with ammunition twice that size．

    　　State officials have been working to test the danger of garbage including materials affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild animals could be affected．

    (1)

    Which of the following is NOT the reason for sinking the Japanese ship?

    A．

    It had no lights or communications system．

    B．

    It might be washed up onto the shore．

    C．

    It was a danger to other passing ships．

    D．

    The oil it carried could pollute the sea．

    (2)

    The plan to fire on the Japanese ghost ship was paused because ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the ghost ship was beyond the reach of the Coast Guard's guns

    B．

    the shells were not powerful enough to sink the ghost ship

    C．

    state officials worried the ghost ship might give out radiation

    D．

    a Canadian fishing boat wanted to save the ghost ship

    (3)

    a．Its long, lonely voyage came to an end．

    B．When the Titanic sank, the stories of the courage mainly showed in the face of inevitable(不可避免的) death moved the world.

    The Best and the Worst

    　　　 Under the extreme conditions of a disaster, human beings display the best and worst they are capable of. In the midst of chaos “women and children first” is the traditional way of doing things.

    71 . Sixty years before that, the passengers of another ship had shown even greater discipline and nobility in terrible circumstances.

    　　　 The ship was the Birkenhead, a steam-powered troopship transporting British troops to South Africa. On 26 February, 1852, the ship hit an uncharted rock while rounding the Cape of Good Hope. 72　 . The remainders were soldiers and officers of the 74th Highlanders, led by Major Alexander Sexton. In addition, the ship was laden with horses.

    　　　 The initial collision had already caused dozens of the troops to be drowned as they slept below decks. 73　 . The ship was sinking rapidly and leaning, but they continued to stand until all the women and horses were driven over-board to give them a chance. Only then, at the order from Major Sexton, did they break ranks and try to save their own lives. But the ship broke up, and four hundred and eighty-eight of the soldiers died.

    　　　 In complete opposition to this bravery, was the occasion when nearly all the casualties(人员伤亡) were women and children. This happened on 1 April, 1873. The White Star liner Atlantic, under the command of the incompetent Captain Williams, was wrecked on rocks off the coast of Nova Scotia. 　74　 . In the panic, the male passengers deserted their families and tried to escape ashore.　 75　 . There were five hundred and sixty deaths. Of the four hundred survivors, not one was a woman.
