解析
- 考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章细节的理解能力，需要根据原文信息判断选项的正确性。
- 解题思路：
- 第（1）题：需明确三艘船的共同命运，注意原文中“disastrous fates”的提示。
- 第（2）题：关注白星公司建造船只的核心目标，抓住“most luxurious ships”的关键描述。
- 第（3）题：分析沉船原因，重点在于理解“double hulls believed to make them 'unsinkable'”的错误观念。
- 第（4）题：梳理“Olympic号”的最终结局，注意“taken out of service”的表述。
第（1）题
关键句：第一段末句指出“Olympic级船只似乎命中注定遭遇灾难性命运”。
- 选项C正确，因为三艘船均发生严重事故（Olympic撞船、Titanic撞 iceberg、Britannic触雷）。
- 选项A错误，文章未提及“卓越表现”；选项B无依据；选项D片面强调工程成就，未结合灾难性结局。
第（2）题
关键句：第二段明确白星公司目标是“打造最豪华的船只”。
- 选项B正确，直接对应“luxurious ships”。
- 选项A、C、D均未在文中体现，如“航行水域”“抗灾能力”等未被提及。
第（3）题
关键句：第四段指出“双层船体被误认为‘不沉’，导致悲剧”。
- 选项D正确，双层设计的错误信念是根本原因。
- 选项A错误，设计本身科学但观念错误；选项B、C未被原文支持。
第（4）题
关键句：最后一段说明“Olympic最终于1935年退役”。
- 选项D正确，直接对应“taken out of service”。
- 选项A、B、C部分描述虽属实（如运兵、医院船），但最终结果是退役。
