extremely damp in winter. Quite apart from the fact that the only (59 view) was of a brick wall. Then I had a look at a

and had a big bay window. Although it meant (69 sharing) the kitchen and living room, I did have my own
bathroom, really just a shower and washbasin (giặt vòi) (70 crammed- luyện thi, nhồi sọ) into what must have once
been a cupboard.

provided only twenty lifeboats and rafts (bè gỗ), less than one half the number needed for the 2,227 passengers on
board.
Many passengers were aboard the night it rammed an iceberg, only two days at sea and more than half way
between England and the New York destination. Because the luxury liner was traveling so fast, it was impossible to
avoid the ghostly looking iceberg. An unextinguished fire also contributed to the ship's submersion. Panic increased
the number of casualties 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 705 survivors. The infamous 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.
76. Which of the following did NOT contribute to the large death toll?
A. panic B. fire C. speed D. the Carpathia
77. How many days was the S.S. Titanic at sea before sinking?
A. 2 B. 4 C. 6 D. 12

A. initiated B. called C. christened D. listed

A. only a third of those aboard died B. the Carpathia rescued the survivors
C. the S.S. Titanic sank near Newfoundland D. the S.S. Titanic was the fastest ship afloat in 1912
