One of the most intriguing stories of the Russian Revolution concerns the identity of Anastasia, the youngest daughter of Czar Nicholas II. During his reign over Russia, the Czar had planned to revoke many of the harsh laws established by previous czars. Some workers and peasants, however, clamored for more rapid social reform. In 1918 a group of these people, known as Bolsheviks, overthrew the government. On July 17 or 18, they murdered the Czar and what was thought to be his entire family.
Although witnesses vouched that all the members of the Czar’s family had been executed, there were rumors suggesting that Anastasia had survived. Over the years, a number of women claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia. Perhaps the best known claimant was Anastasia Tschai-kovsky, who was also known as Anna Anderson.
In 1920, eighteen months after the Czar’s execution, this terrified young woman was rescued from drowning in a Berlin river. She spent two years in a hospital, where she attempted to reclaim her health and shattered mind. The doctors and nurses thought that she resembled Anastasia and questioned her about her background. She disclaimed any connection with the Czar’s family.
Eight years later, though, she claimed that she was Anastasia. She said that she had been rescued by two Russian soldiers after the Czar and the rest of her family had been killed. Two brothers named Tschaikovsky had carried her into Romania. She had married one of the brothers, who had taken her to Berlin and left her there, penniless and without a vocation. Unable to
invoke
the aid of her mother’s family in Germany, she had tried to drown herself.
During the next few years, scores of the Czar’s relatives, ex-servants, and acquaintances interviewed her. Many of these people said that her looks and mannerisms were evocative of the Anastasia that they had known. Her grandmother and other relatives denied that she was the real Anastasia, however.
Tired of being accused of fraud, Anastasia immigrated to the United States in 1928 and took the name Anna Anderson. She still wished to prove that she was Anastasia, though, and returned to Germany in 1933 to bring suit against her mother’s family. There she declaimed to the court, asserting that she was indeed Anastasia and deserved her inheritance.
In 1957, the court decided that it could neither confirm nor deny Anastasia’s identity. Al-though we will probably never know whether this woman was the Grand Duchess Anastasia, her search to establish her identity has been the subject of numerous books, plays, and movies.
According to the passage,______.
选项
A、Anastasia is still alive.
B、Anastasia is the only child of Czar Nicholas II.
C、Many have tried to claim the identity of Anastasia.
D、Anastasia died in an execution.
答案
C
解析
细节题。选项中出现的Anastasia是全文的关键词,在类似的人物传记篇章中会多次出现,所以一般无法起到定位作用,只能采用排除法。文中提到沙皇一家被执行死刑的时间是1918年,距今已有将近一个世纪,所以真正的Anastasia可能早已不在人世,而且文中对此没有直接陈述,所以排除A选项。文中第一段就写到Anastasia是沙皇家中最小的女儿,所以她不是惟一的孩子,排除选项B。如果Anastasia死于1918年的行刑中,就不会有后面真假公主之争,所以排除选项D。通读全文也可以进一步确定C是正确选项,全篇主要围绕Anna是否是沙皇最小的女儿这一问题展开。
