19、the centre.Passage OneQuestions 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 Wa
20、r 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 and began to go down. Others despe
21、rately tried to put lifeboats down. Some who succeeded fought off those 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,
22、 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
23、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
24、recent interview with the weekly Die Woche: Because the crimes we Germans are responsible for were and are so dominant, we didnt have the energy left to tell of our own sufferings.The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable - and necessary. By unreservedly own
25、ing 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 t
26、hat, 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 i
27、ts victims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.21.Why does the author say the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was the worst tragedy in maritime history?A) It was attacked by Russian torpedoes.B) Most of its passengers were frozen to death.C) Its victims were mostly women and children.D) It
28、 caused the largest number of casualties.22.Hundreds of families dropped into the sea whenA) a strong ice storm tilted the shipB) the cruise ship sank all of a suddenC) the badly damaged ship leaned toward one sideD) the frightened passengers fought desperately for lifeboats23.The Wilhelm Gustloff t
29、ragedy was little talked about for more than half a century because GermansA) were eager to win international acceptanceB) felt guilty for their crimes in World War IIC) ad been pressured to keep silent about itD) were afraid of offending their neighbors24.How does Gunter Grass revive the memory of
30、the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy?A) By presenting the horrible scene of the torpedo attack.B) By describing the ships sinking in great detail.C) By giving an interview to the weekly Die Woche.D) By depicting the survival of a young pregnant woman.25.It can be learned from the passage that Germans no lon
31、ger think thatA) they will be misunderstood if they talk about the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedyB) the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nations past misdeedsC) Germany is responsible for the horrible crimes it committed in World War IID) it is wrong to equate their sufferings
32、 with those of other countriesPassage TwoQuestions 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 achiev
33、ed 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 t
34、hey had not been placed in advanced programs. Anecdotal (名人轶事) reports support this. Pablo Picasso, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Oliver Goldsmith, and William Butler Yeats all disliked school. So did Winston Churchill, who almost failed out of Harrow, an elite British school. About Oliver Goldsmith,
35、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, inattentive, or unmotivated.Some of these gifted people may have done poorly in school because their, gifts wer
36、e not scholastic. Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way. But most fared poorly in school not because they lacked ability but because they found school unchallenging and consequently lost interest. Yeats described the lack of fit between his mind and school: Because I had found it difficult to
37、 attend to anything less interesting than my own thoughts, I was difficult to teach. As noted earlier, gifted children of all kinds tend to be strong-willed nonconformists. Nonconformityand stubbornness (and Yeatss level of arrogance and self-absorption) are likely to lead to Conflicts with teachers
38、.When highly gifted students in any domain talk about what was important to the development of their abilities, they are far more likely to mention their families than their schools or teachers. A writing prodigy (神童) studied by David Feldman and Lynn Goldsmith was taught far more about writing by h
39、is journalist father than his English teacher. High-IQ children, in Australia studied by Miraca Gross had much more positive feelings about their families than their schools. About half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bloom had little good to say about school. They all did well in school a
40、nd took honors classes when available, and some skipped grades.26.The main point the author is making about schools is thatA) they should satisfy the needs of students from different family backgroundsB) they are often incapable of catering to the needs of talented studentsC) they should organize th
41、eir classes according to the students abilityD) they should enroll as many gifted students as possible27.The author quotes the remarks of one of Oliver Goldsmiths teachersA) to provide support for his argumentB) to illustrate the strong will of some gifted childrenC) to explain how dull students can
42、 also be successfulD) to show how poor Olivers performance was at school28.Pablo Picasso is listed among the many gifted children whoA) paid no attention to their teachers in classB) contradicted their teachers much too oftenC) could not cope with their studies at school successfullyD) behaved arrog
43、antly and stubbornly in the presence of their teachers29.Many gifted people attributed their success.A) mainly to parental help and their education at homeB) both to school instruction and to their parents coachingC) more to their parents encouragement than to school trainingD) less to their systema
44、tic education than to their talent30.The root cause of many gifted students having bad memories of their school years is thatA) their nonconformity brought them a lot of troubleB) they were seldom praised by their teachersC) school courses failed to inspire or motivate themD) teachers were usually f
45、ar stricter than their parentsPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage,When we worry about who might be spying on our private lives, we usually think about the Federal agents. But the private sector outdoes the government every time. Its Linda Tripp, not the FBI, who is fac
46、ing charges under Marylands laws against secret telephone taping. Its our banks, not the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), that pass our private financial data to telemarketing finms.Consumer activists are pressing Congress for better privacy laws without much result so far. The legislators lean towar
47、d letting business people track our financial habits virtually at will.As an example of whats going on, consider U.S. Bancorp, which was recently sued for deceptive practices by the state of Minnesota. According to the lawsuit, the bank supplied a telemarketer called MemberWorks with sensitive custo
48、mer data such as names, phone numbers, bank-account and credit-card numbers, Social Security numbers, account balances and credit limits.With these customer lists in hand, MemberWorks started dialing for dollars - selling dental plans, videogames, computer software and other products and services. Customers who accepted a free trial offer had, 30 d
