二、阅读部分(每题2分，共40分)
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
It was the worst tragedy in maritime (航海的) history,
six times more deadly than the Titanic.
When the German cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by
torpedoes (鱼雷) fired from a Russian submarine in the final winter of World War II,
more than 10,000 people - mostly women, children and old people fleeing the final
Red Army push into Nazi Germany - were packed aboard. An ice storm had turned the
decks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea as the
ship tilted andbegan to go down. Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down. Some
who succeeded fought offthose in the water who had the strength to try to claw their
way aboard. Most people froze immediately. Tll never forget the screams," says Christa
Ntitzmann, 87, one of the 1,200 survivors. She recalls watching the ship, brightly lit,
slipping into its dark grave - and into seeming nothingness, rarely mentioned for more
than half a century.
Now Germanys Nobel Prize-winning author Gtinter Grass has
revived the memory of the 9,000 dead, including more than 4,000 children - with his
latest novel Crab Walk, published last month. The book, which will be out in English
next year, doesnt dwell on the sinking; its heroine is a pregnant young woman who
survives the catastrophe only to say later: "Nobody wanted to hear about it, not here
in the West (of Germany) and not at all in the East." The reason was obvious. As
Grass put it in a recent interview with the weekly Die Woche: "Because the crimes we
Germans are responsible for were and are so dominant, we didn't have the energy left
to tell of our own sufferings.
The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff
was probably unavoi dable - and necessary. By unreservedly owning up to their countrys
monstrous crimes in the Second World War, Germans have managed to win acceptance
abroad, marginalize ( 使...不得势 ) the neo- Nazis at home and make peace with their
neighbors. Todays unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in
its long, troubled history. For that, a half century of willful forgetting about painful
memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay. But even the
most politically correct Germans believe that they ye now earned the right to discuss
the full historical record. Not to equate German suffering with that of its victims,
but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.
21、Why does the author say the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was the worst

【正确答案】
A
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Given the lack of fit between gifted students and their
schools, it is not surprising that such students often have little good to say
about their school experience. In one study of 400 adul who had achieved distinction
in all areas of life, researchers found that three-fifths of these individuals
either did badly in school or were unhappy in school. Few MacArthur Prize fellows,
winners of the MacArthur Award for creative accomplishment, had good things to say
about their precollegiate schooling if they had not been placed in advanced programs.
Anecdotal ( 名人轶事 ) reports support this. Pablo Picasso, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain,
Oliver Gold smith, and William Butler Yeats all disliked school. So did Winston
Churchill, who almost failed out of Harrow, an elite British school. About Oliver
Goldsmith, one of his teachers remarked, "Never was so dull a boy." Often these children
realize that they know more than their teachers, and their teachers often feel that
these children are arrogant, inatte......
