Read the passage and then choose the best answer.

The British ship H.M.S Breadalbane sank in the Canadian Arctic on August 21 1853, after being crushed by encroaching ice while on a rescue mission. The 31 crewmen aboard escaped over the ice to a companion vessel as the Breadalbane went down in 15 minutes.

Canadian scientists now report that after a three-year search of records about the ship, they have located it sitting upright in 110 meters of water. Using a robot camera device, they said they have taken remarkably clear pictures of the Breadalbane, which has been well preserved by the ice and the supercold water "What we have is a treasure trove of 19th century Arctic exploration." reported one scientist. Located 1000 kilometers above the Arctic Circle, the Breadalbane is the world's northernmost known shipwreck.

According to the passage, the Breadalbane was sailing where it was on August 21, 1853, mainly to
A. explore the area in which it sank. B. defend that area for the British government.
C. find a northwest passage to the Orient. D. save the lives of other people.
What happened to the Breadalbane's crew?
A. Some survived but most perished. B. Most survived but a few perished.
C. All perished in the accident. D. All were rescued by another ship.
The scientists can prove they have found the exact location of the Breadalbane because they
A. have taken underwater photos of the ship.
B. dived down to the wreck to explore it
C. managed to refloat the boat using modern engineering techniques.

D. retrieved some objects from the wreck with the ship's name on them.

The reason that the scientists called the wreck a "treasure trove" is that they expect it to yield a lot of

A. precious metals. B. valuable foreign goods. C. precious stones. D. valuable information.

The main reason that they can be sure to expect to learn a great deal about 19th century Arctic exploration from the wreck is that
A. no other ship ever sank in waters so far north.
B. water currents are gentle there so the ship was not moved.
C. the camera they are using is a robot.
D. the ship has been extremely well preserved by the severe cold.
The principal historical distinction of this wreck when compared with other is that
A. it has lain underwater for so long.
B. the scientists expect to become wealthy from its discovery.
C. no other has been found so far north.
D. until now it has been impossible to take pictures in such icy waters.

The film is about the sinking of the ship Titanic on its first voyage. The main characters are Jack Dawson and Rose Dewitt Bukater. Jack saves Rose from killing herself during the journey on board the ship. Although they are from different social classes, and Rose is already engaged, they fall in love. The film has a sad ending: the Titanic sinks and more than a thousand people die in the disaster, including Jack.

Critics say it is a must-see. I agree because the story is moving and the acting is excellent. The special effects, visuals and music are also incredible.

Dịch bài đọc:

Gấu Bắc Cực đang đứng trước nguy cơ tuyệt chủng. Khác với các loài bị đe dọa tuyệt chủng khác, vấn đề không phải do săn bắt mà là bởi biến đổi khí hậu. Từ năm 1979, mỏm băng ở Vòng Cực Bắc nơi gấu Bắc Cực sing sống đã giảm 30% kích thước. Nhiệt độ ở Bắc Cực đã và đang tăng dần và điều này khiến băng tan chảy, đe dọa nơi cư trú của loài gấu. Nguồn thức ăn chính của gấu Bắc Cực là các loài hải cẩu khác nhau ở vùng Bắc Cực. Chúng săn mồi bằng cách đợi bên các hố thở mà hải cẩu tạo trên băng. Dù gấu có thể bơi rất khỏe, chúng không bao giờ bắt được hải cẩu dưới nước. Điều này có nghĩa loài gấu hoàn toàn phụ thuộc vào băng để săn mồi. Gấu Bắc Cực cũng cần băng để di chuyển. Chúng có thể hoạt động trên một vùng lãnh thổ rộng lớn và thường bơi từ rìa băng này sang rìa băng khác. Chúng được biết có thể bơi xa tới 100km, nhưng khi băng ít đi, chúng hải bơi xa hơn và điều này có thể gây nguy hiểm đến tính mạng của loài gấu. Nhiều gấu Bắc Cực đã chết đuối trong vài năm trở lại đây và các nhà khoa học tin rằng đó là do chúng không thể tới được băng trước khi kiệt sức và không còn khả năng bơi xa hơn.
