Question

For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.
During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, 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. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “Do you think I’m handsome, Miss Eyre?”
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it “No, sir.”
“Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.”
“Sir, I’m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn’t matter, or something like that.”
“No, you shouldn’t! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab（刺）me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good points.”
I thought to myself that he might have too. 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 path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn’t my character, but circumstances that were at fault. Why do I tell you all this? Because you’re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you’re sympathetic and give them hope.”
“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 cage. When you get out of the cage, you’ll fly very high. Good night.”

解析試題分析：文章是節(jié)選的名著《簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)》的部分內(nèi)容，講述簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)和羅切斯特先生剛剛認(rèn)識(shí)的情景，和彼此的印象。
【小題1】推理題：根據(jù)第一、 二段中 Miss Eyre 對(duì) Mr. Rochester 的描 述。首段第二句，In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. 說(shuō)明 Mr. Rochester 很忙， 交際很廣，第二段第一句 when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile.可知他是易變的，可知沒(méi)有說(shuō)到他是友好的，選B
【小題2】句意理解題：Rochester是在Jane說(shuō)了一句話： I should have said that beauty doesn’t matter, or something like that之后才說(shuō)she stab him in the back.簡(jiǎn)更正了自己的看法，這令Rochester反而更加不高興。故對(duì)應(yīng)于B選項(xiàng)。
【小題3】推理題：文中提到： I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn’t my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you’re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you’re sympathetic and give them hope.”他變成這樣，是環(huán)境造成的。他本來(lái)也可以走回正軌。他認(rèn)為簡(jiǎn)很善良，還叫她不要害怕自己。這些都說(shuō)明他是想改變簡(jiǎn)對(duì)自己的看法，對(duì)應(yīng)選C
【小題4】推理題：在文中最后一段， 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.”他說(shuō)簡(jiǎn)不經(jīng)常笑，讓她放松，這說(shuō)明了他對(duì)簡(jiǎn)的關(guān)心，排除于A和D選項(xiàng)。他說(shuō)如果簡(jiǎn)飛出籠子，她就會(huì)飛得很高，這是一句鼓勵(lì)人的話，encouraging.故選擇答案B。
