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] 【C2】
选项 A、fire
B、firing
C、being fired
D、fired
答案 D
解析 语法题该句意为“当时德国巡洋舰被俄国一艘潜水艇发射的鱼雷击中”，故此处当用过去分词表示“which is fired”。being fired作分词往往强调当时的状态或原因，此处不适用。
