Now, the 3-D version of the movie will come to Chinese theaters on April 10.As anyone who has seen the movie knows, the Titanic struck an iceberg(冰山) and sank on its first voyage in 1912, killing 1,517 people. A century after the accident, scientists have found something new to blame(负责任) for the sinking: the moon. Donald Olson, a Texas State University physicist, led a team of astronomers(天文学家) to examine the moons role, according to Reuters.Normally, icebergs stay in place and cannot move until they melt enough or a high tide(潮汐) frees them. A single iceberg can become stuck many times on its journey southward. The process can take several years.According to Olson, a hundred years ago the moon made its closest approach to the Earth in more than 1,400 years. This caused the moon to have a much stronger pull on the Earths oceans than usual, which created a super-high tide. The tide pushed icebergs from shallow waters off the coasts of Canadas provinces, Newfoundland and Labrador, into the Titanics way.“Of course, the final cause of the accident was that the ship struck an iceberg,” Olson told Reuters. “It went full speed into a region with icebergs, but the lunar connection(月亮的联系) may explain how an unusually large number of icebergs got into the path of the Titanic.”The research team will publish their research in the April issue of Sky & Telescope magazine.根据短文内容，选最佳择答案,并在答题卡上按要求作答。（1）How many people lost their lives in this accident?A .

Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought, according to a study in Hungary. It found that dogs understand not only what we say, but also how we say it.The results were very exciting and very surprising, said the researcher Attila Andies, from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest.For the study, the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months. The dogs had to sit quietly inside machines, so that the researchers could check their activity.Then the researcher put headphones on dogs and played peoples voices to them. There were four different voices. Some were positive words, such as well down , or neutral( 不带感情色彩 ) words like however. The words were also in different tones(音调). Some were positive and some were neutral.Brain scans(扫描) showed that the dogs could recognize(辩认) words, as well as the tone of words, much like people do. The positive words with a positive tone brought the stronger activity in their brains reward centers(反应中枢).It shows that for dogs, a nice phrase can work very well as a prize, but it works best if both words and tonesmatch, said Andies.They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right. Human brains work in the same way.It gave us a new understanding of language, said Andies.
