题目内容
7.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 emerged 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.

分析 短文主要介绍了Anna Politkovskaya,其父亲去世,母亲得病的事情,并且也写了其工作等方面.
解答 36.C,细节理解题,从第2句中的"…had died of a heart attack…"可知C选项是正确答案.B选项attack是"攻击"的意思,而文中出现的是heart attack,"心脏病",故答案为C.
37.D,细节理解题,根据句子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可知,Raisa Mazepa没有参加她丈夫的葬礼,故答案为D.
38.B,词义猜测题,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,B选项符合原文的意思.
39.D,细节理解题,文中提到Politkovskaya姐妹俩,以及她的父母、女儿,因此有五个人.
40.A,推理判断题,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直性格,而这是其他记者所不屑的,因此A选项是正确答案.
