    When the German cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes fired from a Russian submarine in the final winter of World War II, more than 10,000 people—mostly women, children and old people【C2】________ the final Red Army push into Nazi Germany—were packed aboard.

答案 K
解析 词义辨析题。根据词性，此处应当填入动词。此处是指唤醒人们的记忆，使这件事重新被提出来讨论。根据文意可选范围为 “revived，relived”。relive“再体验(某种经历)，再经历(某时期)(尤指在想象中)”：I relived that fateful day over and over in my mind．我在脑海中不断地重温那命中注定的日子。revive“重新使用(某事物)；使(某事物)恢复活力或重新流行”。由于宾语是memory，因此应当是激活回忆，故选revived。
