Weeping,angry relatives of 46 crew members missing after a mysterious explosion sank a South Korean navy ship sailed around the site Sunday as rescue teams struggled to search for survivors.
None has been found since a first rescue of 58 sailors from the 1,200ton Cheonan that sank near the tense border with North Korea early Saturday.No bodies have been discovered.
The exact cause of the explosion late Friday remained unclear and officials said it could take weeks to determine.The ship,which was on a routine patrol with other vessels in the Yellow Sea off South Korea's worst coast,sank about three hours after the blast.
It is one of South Korea's worst naval disasters.In 1974,a ship sank off the southeast coast in stormy weather,killing 159 sailors and coast guard personnel.
Fierce waves and high winds have prevented the search in the area where the two Koreas have fought bloody naval engagements.Despite the location of the sinking,North Korea did not appear to be involved.
The explosion tore open the rear hull of the Cheonan,shut down its engine,wiped out power and caused the ship to sink a little over three hours later.
The weather conditions had improved from Saturday,but dozens of military divers quickly withdrew(撤退)due to rapid sea currents.Divers also unsuccessfully tried to get to the wreckage on Saturday.
As hopes faded for the missing crew,about 80 family members aboard a navy patrol boat sailed around the site and watched rescue operations.
“My Son!My Son!”One woman shouted while boarding the ship late Saturday at a naval base south of Seoul for the overnight journey to the accident area as other relatives cried in grief.The family members were to return later Sunday to a naval base south of Seoul,where other relatives awaited news.
6.The ship that sank on Friday________.
A.caused the worst naval disaster in South Korea
B.must have been caused by explosion
C.crossed the border of North Korea
D.will take weeks to leave the water

答案 B
7.The ship sinking in 1974 was caused by________.
