Passage Two

How many passengers on board Andrea Doria were rescued

A.All the passengers.

B.About 1,650.

C.52.

D.Not sure.

答案

参考答案:B

解析:

[分析]: 数字信息的找寻和判断。 根据原文Aboard the Andrea Doria were 1,706 persons,passengers and crew可知出发时船上人数为1,706,灾难发生后all but 52 persons on board to be rescued即除52人外,其他人全部获救。因此B项数字与原文基本一致,该项为正确答案。[解题关键] 理解关键词语all but的含义是解题的关键。本题中该短语意思是“除……之外全……”。
