The following text is for questions 30 34
TITANIC
I absolutely love Titanic, and all of the movie will always hold a special place in my heart. Brock
Lovett (Bill Paxton) is a somewhat ruthless treasure hunter searching for profit under the sea in the
debris of the wrecked liner Titanic. In particular, he is searching for a necklace featuring an historic blue
diamond and that is rumored to have sunk with the ship. He believes he is on the right track when his
crew retrieves a safe in which he finds a sketch of a beautiful woman wearing the diamond.
The drawing is shown on a TV news program, and an old lady called Rose Dawson Calvert
(Gloria Stewart) comes forward claiming that she is the woman in the drawing. When questioned by the
treasure hunters, she tells them her story.
When she joined the Titanic for her maiden voyage Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet ), as she
was known then, was 17 years old. Her mother (Frances Fisher) had a good breeding but little money,
so she was taking Rose to America to marry rich Cal Hockley (Billy Zane) a match that Rose would
rather have avoided.
Attempting to commit suicide, she was saved by Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), a raffish and
charming third-class passenger. Jack and Rose started to spend time together, ultimately falling love, in
spite of the disapproval of both her mother and Hockley. Hockley would have done anything to prevent
Jack seeing Rose, and falsely accused him of theft. However, the historic events that followed were to
change everything.

Camerons Titanic is justly recognized as something of a masterpiece. The film cost a

phenomenal amount to make, and most of that spending is visible on screen. Everything about it looks
sumptuous and the effects that go into the sinking of the ship are grippingly realistic.
The romantic thread is appealing enough, but its greater purpose is to make the effect of the
tragedy more personal. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio make a fine job of playing the young
couple, although the romance is occasionally rather overdone and DiCaprio does struggle at times to
give his character as written any real depth.
Although the film is a personal romance set amidst a greater disaster story, it is also the story of Roses
life and the effect her experiences have had on her and it largely succeeds on all counts.
30. How do you know about Brock Lovett?
a. one of the film maker of Titanic
c. he is as crew of gold hunter under the sea
b. a Titanic film director
d. treasure hunter of blue diamond
e. the writer of romantic story
31. The text is about a movie. . . . . . .. .
a. scene b. review
c. directing
d. script
e. appreciation
32. Why was Roses mother take Rose to America ?
a. to get a job
b. to looked a new place to live in
c. to divorce with her husband Cal Hockley
d. to marry a rich man Cal Hockley
e. to become a famous artist
33. What does the reviewer opinion about Titanic?
a. It is the best film romance
c. It deserves the highest praise
b. It is the worse film romance
d. she really loves Titanic
e. It deserves the best praise
34. The purpose of the text is ... .
a. to describe something that happens
b. to persuade readers that something is in the case
c. to critique an art work or event for a public audience
d. to evaluate the necessity of cars in the city
