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 th

19、an 10,000 peoplemostly women, children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Nazi Germanywere 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 (倾斜) and began to go down. Others desperately tried t

20、o put lifeboats down. Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to claw their way aboard.

For that, a half

25、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 theyve now earned the right to discuss the full historical record. Not to equate (将等同于) German suffering with that of its vic

26、tims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.41 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 cau

34、ips of tape on it, one for each language. The cards are small, seven by nine centimeters, and each one can store up to two hundred and forty words. You run a pickup head along the tape and hey presto! A voice comes out of the amplifier, asking the question. The person at the information desk may get

35、 a surprise, but you will get your answerKeith hopes that an electronics company will buy his idea and develop it commercially to sell it to tourists.

40、ally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community.
