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

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. [br] What’s the author’s opinion abut Anna Anderson?
选项
A、She will some day prove that she is Anastasia.
B、It is hard either to prove or refute the authenticity of her story.
C、No one will believe her story.
D、Books, plays and movies based on her story will make her famous.
答案
B
解析
主旨题。作者写此文的目的在文末由“Although we will probably never know...”一句点出,既无人能知晓到底自称是Anastasia的人是否就是逃过死刑一劫的沙皇的小女儿,但是她的故事已经成为很多小说、戏剧和电影的素材。选项A和C都过于绝对,而选项D则曲解了作者的意思,文中并未直接对此观点做出描述,所以B是正确选项。
