In an effort to produce the largest, fastest, the most luxurious ship afloat, the British built the Titanic. It was so superior to anything else on the sea that it was considered "unsinkable". So sure of this were the owners that they provided lifeboats for only 950 of its possible 3,500 passengers. Many passengers were aboard the night it rammed an iceberg, only two days at sea and more than half way between England and New York the destination. Because the luxury liner was traveling so fast, lit was impossible to avoid the ghostly looking iceberg. An inextinguishable fire also contributed to the ship’s disaster. Panic increased the number of deaths 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 survivors, less than a third of those originally aboard. The famous 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. [br] Besides speed and fire, what else contributed to the large number of deaths?
选项
答案
Panic
解析
根据文章第7到第8行“Panic increased the…to board the life boats”,如果乘客们不那么惊慌,不那么争先恐后地挤上救生船,或者不为了急于逃生而慌不择路地跳进冰冷的海水里的话,就不会死那么多人。因此恐慌也是造成大批人死亡的一个原因。
