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 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】______." [br] 【C18】
选项 A、dominant

解析 词义辨析题dominant“最重要的，最突出的，占支配地位的”；remarkable“值得注意的，不寻常的，独特的”；prominent“显著的，惹人注目的”；conspicuous“显而易见的，明显的，惹人注目的”。此处意为“德国过去所犯的罪行如此重大以至于为此赎罪已占据了他们大部分的精力”，这里强调的是罪行重大，故选A。
