On April 10, 1912, the Titanic started her first trip from Southampton, England, to New York City, US. The ship was the world’s largest and most luxurious（豪華的）one at that time.
　 High-class facilities（設(shè)備）for passengers including restaurants, a library and a swimming pool made the ship like a floating hotel. More importantly, its owners and builders said it was unsinkable（不會(huì)下沉的）.

　 However, on April 15, the ship sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and killed over 1,500 people.　

This April 15, on the 100th anniversary（周年紀(jì)念）of the sinking of the Titanic, people in the UK and US will hold activities to remember the event. James Cameron’s 1997 film, Titanic, was a huge hit all around the world. Now the 3-D film will come to Chinese theaters on April 10. It is a love story between a poor young man named Jack and a rich young woman named Rose on the unlucky ship. In Belfast, UK, the port of the Titanic’s birth, a museum called Titanic Belfast will open to the public.
　Today, the sinking of the Titanic is not just an accident. It has become a popular expression to mean a large disaster or mistake, usually because of too much confidence.
　In the UK, if somebody says that his or her mobile phone is really great and could never break, others might say, “Yeah, and people said the Titanic was unsinkable.” In other words, no matter how confident or proud people are about something, anything can go wrong.

43. The first and second paragraph mainly tells us _____.

A. Titanic had High-class facilities　　　　　　　　 B. the ship was built in 1912

C. what kind of ship Titanic was　　　　　　　　　 D. Titanic was like a hotel

44. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “hit” in Paragraph 4?

A. Success　　　　　　 B. Break　　　　　　　　　　　 C. Knock　　　　　　　　　　 D. Movie

45. In which situation can we say “The Titanic was unsinkable” to Tom?

A. He is worried about the result of his exam.　 B. He wants to make friends with Jack.

C. He is sure to win in the competition.　　　　 D. He is asking for a day off.

46. Through the passage, the writer wants to tell us that _____.

A. Titanic was an unlucky ship　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

B. any mobile phone can go wrong

C. the 3-D film “Titanic” will be put on in China

D. never being too confident or proud about anything
