你将听到一篇短文，短文后有五个小题。请根据短文内容，在每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。短文读两遍。

M: For over 100 years, the Titanic has lain at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, about 3,800 meters deep. But how did it sink? On April 14th, 1912, the ship entered dangerous icy waters. It received six warning messages, and the captain turned the ship southward, but he did not slow down. By the time the workers saw an iceberg, it was too late.

In 1985, National Geographic explorer Robert Ballard and French scientist Jean-Louis Michel discovered the lost shipwreck. They also found many old items that show the human side of the story, like an old notebook that belonged to the 17-year-old passenger. It contains pencil writing you can still read today. With the help of new technology, researchers continue to study the Titanic. Our interest in this famous ship is still as strong as ever. If anything, it is the story of the Titanic that is truly unsinkable.
