Question

【題目】 For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he was busy with business， and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and hung out with him. All my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings around the house， when he would sometimes pass me coldly， and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not make me unhappy, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.

One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not so serious. There was a smile on his face, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “Do you think I'm handsome, Miss Eyre?”

The answer went out from my tongue（舌頭） before I realized it: “No，sir.”

I continued to say，“Ah, you are really unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.” “Sir, I'm sorry. What I mean is that beauty doesn't matter, or something like that.”

Mr. Rochester said, “ No, you shouldn't! I see, you criticize （批評） my appearance， and then you stab（刺） me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. You are very special. ”

He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly, “Yes, you’re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty one， and have never found the right road again. I was not a bad man， and believe me. It wasn't my character（性格）,but circumstances（處境）that were to blame（責備）. Hope you can understand me.”

“Don't be afraid of me, Miss Eyre,” he continued. “You don't relax or laugh very much , perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You're like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you'll fly very high. Good night."

【1】推理判斷題。根據“His changes of manner did not make me unhappy, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.”可知，愛小姐不在意羅切斯特的態(tài)度，因為她認為她與此無關。故選A。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據“when he would sometimes pass me coldly， and sometimes bow and smile.”可知。有時他會冷漠地從我身邊走過，有時會鞠躬微笑。此處表示偶然會遇見他，故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據“Sir, I'm sorry. What I mean is that beauty doesn't matter, or something like that. ”“先生，我很抱歉。我的意思是美麗并不重要，或者類似的東西。"可知，愛小姐又說了些別的話來糾正她以前說過的話。故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。根據“It wasn't my character（性格）,but circumstances（處境）that were to blame（責備）. Hope you can understand me.”可知，羅切斯特先生把自己的情況告訴了愛小姐，以便改變她對他的看法。故選C。

【5】推理判斷題。根據“Do you think I'm handsome, Miss Eyre?”The answer went out from my tongue（舌頭） before I realized it:“No， sir.”可知，當愛小姐被問時，她認為羅切斯特先生不英俊。因此A項正確。根據“But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely.”可知，最后，羅切斯特先生鼓勵愛小姐笑一笑，放松一下。因此B項正確。文中沒有提到愛小姐愛上了羅切斯特先生。因此C項不正確。故選C。
