Just weeks after a special memorial voyage to mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, an Australian billionaire has announced plans to build an exact replica(复制品) of the Titanic, which is just as similar to the original one as possible. The Titanic replica will make its first voyage from Southampton, England to New York in 2016.

The Titanic is a famous ship that sank in 1912. The attractive story of the ocean liner(邮轮) has made millions of people interested in it around the world. It was believed to be an unsinkable ship but it hit an iceberg and sank on its first voyage. More than 1,500 people died in the sinking of the Titanic, which at the time was the world’s largest and most luxurious ocean liner.

When fully built, the Titanic II will be 270 meters (886 feet) long and capable of holding 1,680 passengers. Unlike the original Titanic which was powered by coal-fired boiler and steam engines, the Titanic II will have modern diesel(柴油机) and electric engines. Also unlike the first Titanic, the Titanic II will have more than enough lifeboats to accommodate everyone on board if something should go wrong.

When asked whether the new replica would sink, Mr. Palmer replied: “Of course it will sink if you put a hole in it. He also added “It will be designed as a modern ship with all the technology to ensure that doesn’t happen.”

When Mr. Palmer was asked if he expected his Titanic to be successful, he simply said: “At my age, you don’t really worry so much about whether you’ll make money or lose money on something, but I believe that it is worth building it.”

1.Why is the Titanic replica being built?

A. To make a voyage from Southampton, England to New York.

B. To mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.

C. To realize Mr. Palmer’s dream of constructing a luxurious ocean liner.

D. Not clearly talked about in the passage.

2.What’s mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?

A. The travelling route of the Titanic.

B. A short introduction to the original Titanic.

C. The number of people on the Titanic when it sank.

D. People’s great interest in the attractive story of the ocean liner.

3.What is the difference between the Titanic II and the original one?

A. Titanic II will be powered by modern diesel and electric engines.

B. The appearance of Titanic II will be more luxurious.

C. The construction of Titanic II will be more complex.

D. The number of the lifeboats on Titanic II will be smaller.

4.What is Mr. Palmer’s attitude towards his Titanic II replica?

A crew of six teenage girls completed a nine-day sailing trip in the US recently, after braving seasickness and strong winds.

For the past three years，the Sea Cadet teenagers who set sail were all male. Roger Noakes, who captained the boat，said this was the first time he’d taken out an all-female crew.

The teenagers then sailed a long way overnight and slept in shifts. “We’ve learned everything from steering(掌舵) the boat itself to putting up the sails to cooking while we have rough seas，”said 15-year-old Olivia Wilcox.

The teenagers stopped on land in Massachusetts. They didn’t make it to their original destination in Maine，where they were supposed to have a celebratory dinner，due to the weather and winds.
