Saturday, October 7th, was a marathon of sad tasks for Anna Politkovskaya. Two weeks earlier, her father, a retired official in the department of foreign affairs, had died of a heart attack as he from the Moscow Metro while on his way to visit Politkovskaya’s mother, Raisa Mazepa, in the hospital. She had just been diagnosed(诊断) with cancer and was too weak even to attend her husband’s funeral. ―Your father will forgive me, because he knows that I have always loved him,‖ she told Anna and her sister, Elena Kudimova, the day he was buried. A week later, she had an operation and since then Anna and Elena had been taking turns helping her deal with her grief.
Politkovskaya was supposed to spend the day at the hospital, but her twenty-six-year-old daughter, who was pregnant, had just moved into Politkovskaya’s apartment, on Lesnaya Street, while her own place was being prepared for the baby. ―Anna had so much on her mind,‖ Elena Kudimova told me when we met in London, before Christmas. ―And she was trying to finish her article.‖ Politkovskaya was a special reporter for the small newspaper Novaya Gazeta, and, like most of her work, the piece focused on the terror that can be seen all over the southern republic of Chechnya. This time, she had been trying to report repeated cruel acts done by people faithful to the Prime Minister, Ramzan Kadyrov, who are in favour of Russia. In the past seven years, Politkovskaya had written dozens of accounts of life during wartime; many had been collected in her book ―A Small Corner of Hell: reports from Chechnya.‖ Politkovskaya was far more likely to spend time in a hospital than on a battlefield, and her writing bore frequent witness to robbery, and the uncontrolled cruelty of life in a place that few other Russians—and almost no other reporters—cared to think about.
1. Politkovskaya’s father died of ______.
A. tiredness B. a heart disease C. an attack D. an accident
【答案与解析】答案B。从第2句中的―…had died of a heart attack…‖可知B选项是正确答
案。C选项attack是―攻击‖的意思，而文中出现的是heart attack，―心脏病‖，因此C选项偷换了概念;其他选项与文中相关的表述不相干。
2. From the text we know that Raisa Mazepa ______.
A. didn’t love her husband B. didn’t attend her husband’s funeral
C. was having an operation the day her husband was buried D. was too sad to attend her husband’s funeral
【答案与解析】答案B。从3、4、5三句可知B选项是正确选项，其他三个选项与文中的表述不一致。
3. The underlined word ―emerged‖ most likely means ______.
A. came out B. went into C. disappeared D. left for
【答案与解析】答案A。介词―from‖表示动作的出处、来源，而后面的介词宾语是―the Moscow
Metro‖，可知―Moscow Metro‖是―emerged‖这一动作的起源地，因此，A选项符合原文的意思。
4. How many family members of Anna are mentioned in the passage?
A. Three. B. Four C. Five D. Six
【答案与解析】4. 答案C。文中提到Politkovskaya姐妹俩，以及她的父母、女儿。
5. Which of the following words can best describe Politkovskaya’s character?
A. Curious B. easy-going C. careless D. responsible
【答案与解析】答案D。从―Politkovskaya was a special reporter for the small newspaper
Novaya Gazeta,…‖一直到文章的结尾，作者简述了Politkovskaya敢于直面社会的不良现象的正值性格，而这是其他记者所不屑的，因此D选项是正确答案。
