51.
C. They all experienced terrible misfortunes.
【定位】 the three Olympic class ships 定位到第一段
【解析】文中最后一句提到,but they seemed cursed to suffer disastrous fates但他们似乎都被厄运所诅咒,与选项C对应,它们都遭受了不幸。选项A偷梁换柱,文中说的是they were marvels of sea engineering而不是 they performed,BD选项无中生有。
52.
B. The utmost comfort passengers could enjoy.
【定位】White Star Line 定位到第二段。
【解析】文中提到WSL decided to focus on making them the most luxurious ships on the water这个人打算把它们打造成水上最豪华的船只。选项ACD都是关于船只的航行能力而非奢华程度,选项B乘客能享受到的最舒服的服务,与原文相近,所以选B。
53.
A. It was a mere piece of decoration.
【定位】根据fourth stack定位到文中第四段。
【解析】文中提到but the fourth stack was actually just artistic in nature and served no functional purpose但fourth stack实际上只是艺术品而没有实际的功能。因此答案选A基本上只是装饰品。BCD选项无中生有。
54.
D. The belief that they could never sink with a double-layer body.
