问题共用题干Father's Day:All Happy Families Are Alike Some writers are so consumed by their art that their families are eclipsed,while other writers manage an enviable closeness with their loved ones.On the occasion of Father's Day,RBTH recalls what kind of fathers the great Russian writers were and what became of their children. Leo Tolstoy,the giant of Russian literature,and his wife Sofia had 13 children,five of whom died in childhood.Tolstoy was very attentive to his family,but as his daughter Tatyana recalled, "________(46)"Tolstoy was more interested in them when they had grown up a little,when he would play with them and tell them stories. His love for his family did not deter the Count and prominent writer from giving away his property to the poor,________(47)The youngest daughter Alexandra became closest of all to Tolstoy, and she became the literary executor of his estate. Today there are more than 400 descendants of Tolstoy,the most famous of which is the writer Tatyana Tolstaya and her son Artemy Lebedev,a designer and popular blogger. Vladimir Tolstoy is the director of the"Yasnaya Polyana"Museum on the Tolstoy family estate,________(48) Four children were born to the jewel in the crown of Russian literature,the poet Alexander Pushkin,and his wife Natalya: daughters Maria and Natalya and sons Alexander and Grigory. Pushkin became distraught（忧心如焚的）when he first saw his daughter Maria. Considering himself unattractive and finding her to resemble him,________(49)But he was worrying unduly. Maria grew into a pretty young girl and a future lady-in-waiting（侍女）to the Empress, and some say that Tolstoy even gave her likeness to Anna Karenina. His eldest son Alexander emerged as a hero of the Russian-Turkish war and attained the rank of general,while the youngest son Grigory became a magistrate（法官）. Pushkin's youngest daughter,the beautiful Natalya,was born just eight months before her father's fateful duel. She became the morganatic（非皇室的）spouse of the Prussian Prince Nikolai. Maria and Grigory did not have children,while Alexander fathered 13,and Natalya six.________ (50)

选项 _______（49） A:he was deeply anxious for the little girl. B:which caused some tension within the family. C:Today more than 200 descendants of Pushkin live around the world. D:Russian is famous for her many literary giants. E:he never showed tenderness to the very small children. F:where the descendants hold family reunions every two years.

答案 A

解析空格后面提到“Tolstoy was more interested in them when they had grown up a little”,“托尔斯泰对年长点的孩子更关心”，they指孩子们，可以推测他对幼小的孩子较少呵护，所以E符合题意。第三段空格前提到托尔斯泰爱家人，但这并不妨碍他把自己的财产送给穷人，他这样做的结果自然会家里人不快，即引起家庭内部的一些紧张关系，所以选B。Count：勋爵。空格前面是个完整的句子，后面接非限定性定语从句，表示地点，即家族成员每隔两年在那里聚会。因此选项F正确。空格后面的句子“But he was worrying unduly”表明他很担心，前面应该是他（普希金）具体的担心，由于自己长得并不英俊，而女儿又很像他，他担心女儿的相貌，因此选A 前面段落在谈论托尔斯泰的家庭时，最后提到他的家族目前的人数，可以预期作者也会提到普希金家族的人口，最后一段前面几句在详细讲述了普希金后代的情况后自然会谈到这一点，因此选项C最恰当。
