题目

阅读下面的文字,完成下面小题。材料一:古代世界各地人们都有自己熟知的天象和星辰,通过观测,获得对于天时和季节的把握。古埃及人特别重视天狼星,玛雅人对金星研究较深,爱斯基摩人最关心地大约是关系极昼极夜变化的太阳运行。对于中国古人来说,北天极一带的北斗七星曾是最受注目的星辰之一。生活在北纬三十五度左右的中国古人,夜晚向北眺望,北极周围有一带永不下沉的圆形旋转天区,这个区域,现代天文学叫“恒显圈”,中国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. 1.Politkovskaya's father died of ________.A.tiredness B.a heart diseaseC.an attack D.an accident2.From the text we know that Raisa Mazepa ________.A. didn't love her husband B. didn't attend her husband's funeralC. was having an operation the day her husband was buriedD. was too sad to attend her husband's funeral3.The underlined word “emerged” most likely means ________.A.came out B.went intoC.disappeared D.left for4.How many family members of Anna are mentioned in the passage?A.Three.
