Question

【題目】 Jane Eyre written by Charlotte Bronte was published in 1847, but it is still hugely popular more than 170 years later.

However, Jane Eyre had a difficult early life. At that time it was difficult for women writers to be taken seriously. Jane, the main character, is a very independent（獨立的）girl and woman. She does not keep to "her place" in the world.

In fact, Jane Eyre has become the main model for all modern romantic fiction. For a love story to be a love story, there has to be conflict（沖突）between the lovers. They have to be different to each other, so different that sparks（火花）fly. This is certainly the case with Jane Eyre and Mr Rochester.

Jane and Mr Rochester are from different social backgrounds. She is lowborn; he is highborn. He wants to control her, but she refuses to be controlled. In the novel this leads to furious（激烈的）scenes between the two, and all readers remember when Rochester asks Jane to run off. She says, "heart will not agree with it."

As a love story, there must be a coming together in the end in a romance. In Jane Eyre, Rochester is blinded in the fire that burns down his home, and so he is weaker than her. When she agrees to marry him, it is a kind of victory. This feature of the novel has been copied a thousand times by others.

Jane Eyre is a rebel（反抗者）in everything she does-as a poor servant, as a woman, as a lover. Why is the novel so popular? Quite simple, the world is full of people who can share the feelings of Jane Eyre.

A.Jane isn't accepted by other people at that time

本文主要向我們介紹了《簡愛》這本書。

【1】詞句猜測題。A：簡那時不被別人接受；B：簡為一個女人在世界上的地位而奮斗；C：簡不得不依靠男人來獲得高的地位；D：簡想戰(zhàn)勝羅切斯特。分析“At that time it was difficult for women writers to be taken seriously. Jane, the main character, is a very independent（獨立的）girl and woman. She does not keep to "her place" in the world.”可知，當(dāng)時，女性作家很難被認(rèn)真對待，簡是一個非常獨立的女孩和女人，所以在那時，簡不太能被接受。故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。A：簡同意和羅切斯特先生私奔。根據(jù)“when Rochester asks Jane to run off. She says, ‘heart will not agree with it.’”可知，簡拒絕和羅切斯特先生私奔，該項表述錯誤；B：羅切斯特先生因為簡·愛而失明。根據(jù)“Rochester is blinded in the fire that burns down his home”可知，羅切斯特先生因為火災(zāi)而失明，該項表述錯誤；C：《簡·愛》一出版就大獲成功。根據(jù)“At that time it was difficult for women writers to be taken seriously.”可知，《簡·愛》出版時不太能被接受，該項表述錯誤；D：《簡·愛》是所有現(xiàn)代浪漫小說的典范。根據(jù)“In fact, Jane Eyre has become the main model for all modern romantic fiction.”可知，《簡·愛》已成為所有現(xiàn)代浪漫主義小說的典范，該項表述正確。故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Why is the novel so popular? Quite simple, the world is full of people who can share the feelings of Jane Eyre.”可知，世界上到處都是可以分享簡·愛情感的人，即讀者可以和小說中的主人公感同身受。故選D。

【4】主旨大意題。A：介紹作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特。B：介紹一個叛逆的簡·愛。C：介紹《簡·愛》這本書。D：介紹寫作方法。分析文章內(nèi)容可知，本文主要向我們介紹《簡愛》這本書。故選C。
