问题     It was the worst tragedy in【C1】______history, six times more deadly than the Titanic.
    When the German cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes【C2】______from a Russian submarine in the final winter of World War II, more than 10,000 people—mostly women, children and old people【C3】______the final Red Army【C4】______into Nazi Germany—were【C5】______aboard. An ice storm had turned the decks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families【C6】______into the sea as the ship【C7】______and began to go down. Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down. Some, who succeeded, fought【C8】______those in the water【C9】______had the strength to try to【C10】______their way aboard. Most people froze immediately. "I’ll never forget the screams," says Christa Ntitzmann, 87, one of the 1,200 survivors. She recalls【C11】______the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its dark grave— and into seeming【C12】______, rarely mentioned for more than half a century.
    Now Germany’s Nobel Prize-winning author Gtinter Grass has【C13】______the memory of the 9,000 dead, including more than 4,000 children【C14】______his latest novel Crab Walk, published last month. The book, which will【C15】______in English next year, doesn’t【C16】______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【C17】______it in a recent interview with the weekly Die Woche: "Because the crimes we Germans are responsible for were and are so【C18】______, we didn’t have the energy left to【C19】______our own【C20】______."
【C1】
选项 A、marine
B、marinade
C、maritime
D、marital
答案C
解析 词艾辨析题marine“船只的，海上贸易的，海军的”；marinade“(用酒、香料等调制的)腌泡汁，腌泡过的鱼或肉”；maritime“海的，海上的，航海的，海事的”；marital“婚姻的”。此处是指航海史上最惨烈的一次海难，故C比A更恰当。
