me questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices
marked A), B), C) and D). You shouM decide on the best choice and mark the co
rresponding letter on the,Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
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 t
han 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 10,00
0 people - mostly women, children and old people fleeing the final Red Army pu
sh into Nazi Germany - were packed aboard. An ice storm had turned the decks i
nto frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea as the s
hip 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 seem
ing nothingness, rarely mentioned for more than half a century.
Now Germany''''s 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 y
ear, doesn''''t dwell on the sinking; its heroine is a pregnant young woman who s
urvives the catastrophe only to say later: "Nobody wanted to hear about it, no
t here in the West (of Germany) and not at all in the East." The reason was ob
vious. As Grass put it in a recent interview with the weekly Die Woche: "Becau
se 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 country''''s 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. Today''''s unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any t
ime in its long, troubled history. For that, a half century of willful forgett
ing about painful memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable pr
ice to pay. But even the most politically correct Germans believe that they'''' y
e now earned the right to discuss the full historical record. Not to equate Ge
rman suffering with that of its victims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible
tragedy.
D21. 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 caused the largest number of casualties.
C22. Hundreds of families dropped into the sea when
A) a strong ice storm tilted the ship
B) the cruise ship sank all of a sudden
C) the badly damaged ship leaned toward one side
D) the frightened passengers fought desperately for lifeboats
A23. The Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy was little talked about for more than half a
century because Germans
A) were eager,to win international acceptance
B) felt guilty for their crimes in World War II
C)~ad been pressured to keep silent about it
D) were afraid of offending their neighbors
D24. How does Gunter Grass revive the memory of the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy?
A) By presenting the horrible scene of the torpedo attack.
B) By describing the ship''''s sinking in great detail.
C) By giving an interview to the weekly Die Woche.
D) By depicting the survival of a young pregnant woman.
A25. It can be learned from the passage that Germans no longer think that
A) they will be misunderstood if they talk about the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy
B) the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nation''''s
past misdeeds
C) Germany is responsible for the horrible crimes it committed in World War II
D) it-is wrong to equate their sufferings with those of other countries
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 sur
prising that such students often have little good to say ''''about their school e
xperience. 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 b
adly in school or were unhappy in school. Few MacArthur Prize fellows, winners
of the MacArthur Award for creative accomplishment, had good things to say ab
out their precollegiate schooling if they had not been placed in advanced prog
rams. 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 Goldsm
ith, one of his teachers remarked, "Never was so dull a boy." Often these chil
dren 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, gift
s were 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 atten
d 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 nonc
onformists. Nonconformity
and stubbornness (and Yeats''''s level of arrogance and self-absorption) are like
ly to lead to Conflicts with teachers.
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 fam
ilies than their schools or teachers. A writing prodigy (神童) studied by Davi
d Feldman and Lynn Goldsmith was taught far more about writing by his journali
st father than his English teacher. High-IQ children, in Australia studied by
Miraca Gross had much more positive feelings about their families than their s
chools. About half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bloom had little
good to say about school. They all did well in school and took honors classes
when available, and some skipped grades.
B26. The main point the author is making about schools is that
A) they should satisfy the needs of students from different family backgrounds
B) they are often incapable of catering to the needs of talented students
C) they should organize their classes according to the students'''' ability
D) they should enroll as many gifted students as possible
A27. The author quotes the remarks of one of Oliver Goldsmith''''s teachers
A) to provide support for his argument
B) to illustrate the strong will of some gifted children
C) to explain how dull students can also be successful
D) to show how poor Oliver''''s performance was at school
D28. Pablo Picasso is listed among the many gifted children who
A) paid no attention to their teachers in class
B) contradicted their teachers much too often
C) could not cope with their studies at school successfully
D) behaved arrogantly and stubbornly in the presence of their teachers
C29. Many gifted people attributed their success.
A) mainly to parental help and their education at home
B) both to school instruction and to their parents'''' coaching
C) more to their parents'''' encouragement than to school training
D) less to their systematic education than to their talent
C30. The root cause of many gifted students having bad memories of their school
years is that
A) their nonconformity brought them a lot of trouble
B) they were seldom praised by their teachers
C) school courses failed to inspire or motivate them
D) teachers were usually far stricter than their parents
