参考答案与解析

（一）

本文是英国女作家洛特·勃朗蒂的代表作《简爱》的节选，讲述了 Jane Eyre 的苦难生活片断。Jane Eyre 從小父母双亡，与婶婶及堂兄妹住在一起，不过常被堂兄妹戏弄。后来被 Mr Brockehurst 领到他开办的学校学习。在那里学习了 6 年后她在 Thornfield 当了一名私人教师。

1. C。从 …with my aunt and cousins who treated me unfairly. My cousins teased me… 可推测，“我”过着很悲惨的生活。

2. B。前部分为 My cousins teased me，那么由 and 连接的内容应与前部分内容在语意上保持一致，故此处应为 my aunt never showed me any love。

3. A。从上下文可知堂兄妹及婶婶对“我”都不好，此处举例说有一次堂兄对“我”大吼大叫，突出了堂兄的霸道，后面直接引语为大叫的内容。shout at sb 意为“对某人大吼大叫”，往往含有贬义。

4. B。因与堂兄打架，“我”被锁进了一间屋子，由此可推测“我”独自呆在那里哭泣。live 指长时期的居住，不合语境。

5. D。从下文来看，“我”被虐待的情况一直持续到 Mr Brockehurst来这里访问。

6. C。从下文 But after an illness killed several students， new owners… 来看，这里不是强调谁建的学校，而是谁是学校的拥有者，因这才有权决定让像“我”这样的孩子去上学。

7. C。前面说 Mr Brockehurst 来见“我”，并让“我”去上学。由此推测两天后“我”离开家去上学了。这与本段第1句话相吻合。

8. B。从下文的 The food was bad and I was often cold… 来看，此处说的是一开始在 Lowood School 的生活问题。

9. B。根据句中的 but 及 and 可知此部分应与 enjoyed studying 在语意上保持一致，故此处应用 friends，即 make friends（交朋友），这也是让人高兴的事情。而 make noise 和 make faces 都不合乎语境。

10. A。从上下文及搭配关系看，此处应选 took over，意为“接管”。从此开始，“我”的学校生活有了转机，生活大大改善了。

11. C。上文说“我”在学校里学习，后面为 a teacher，这说明“我”的身份发生了变化，故用 become。

12. B。根据下文内容 My new life ___15___ at Thornfield Hall， a large country house 及 my time was mainly spent with Adele and the servants 可知“我”在一个家庭当了私人教师。

13. B。从上下文来看，此处说的是 Bessie 来看“我”，并告诉“我”7年前叔叔曾来找过“我”。

14. A。这是 Bessie 告诉“我”的话的内容。从后面的 I wondered if he would ever look for me again 可推测，7年前叔叔来找过“我”。

15. C。从上下文来看，这里谈论的是“我”从事家教的开始。

16. B。从前面可知“我”开始了新的工作——家教。此处是对新工作的具体说明，即教一个名叫 Adele 的女孩。

17. B。从下文 my time was mainly spent with Adele and the servants 可推测，Mr Rochester 很少呆在家里。

18. B。前面说 Mr Rochester 很少呆在家里，这与后面的 my time was mainly spent with Adele and the servants 构成因果关系，故此处选用so。

19. D。从后面的 Often I heard odd sounds ___20___ from the top floor of the house 等可推测，当时在这个新的家里有一些“我”感到奇怪的事情。strange与后面的 odd语意一致。

20. A。这里用 come 表示“从某地传来声音”，其他选项都不合语境。

（二）

本文使用倒叙的形式述说了 Dorothy 学习音乐的故事。一开始说小女儿举办音乐会，由女儿美丽的歌声想到自己年轻时候学习音乐的情况。Dorothy 年轻时很有音乐天赋，先后在法国、意大利和美国学习音乐。不过由于偶遇 David 并相爱，为了爱情而放弃了音乐的学习。不过让她可以感到欣慰的是女儿已成为歌唱家，完成了她的心愿。

1. C。由下文的“这一时刻她等了好多年了”来看，这里说的是女儿第一次演出。由于演唱会还没有开始，结果未知，因此可排除选项 A、B 和D。

2. B。由下文知道，Dorothy Brown 也曾学习过音乐，但由于认识 David 并结婚而影响了自己在音乐方面的发展，现在正好让女儿来完成自己的心愿。由此可知，她“盼望这一时刻好多年了”。

3. A。由“今天小女儿 Lauren 将举办演唱会”来看，此处说的是“她的声音真美”。

4. C。女儿的演出使她想到了和女儿一般大的时候的事情。下面是回忆自己以往学习音乐的情况。go back to the days… 意为“回忆起……的日子”。

5. A。从下面的“当还是一个年轻姑娘时，Dorothy 想成为一名歌唱演员”来看，Dorothy 在和女儿差不多大的时候也曾学习过音乐。

6. D。当 Dorothy 还是个小女孩时，她想成为一名歌唱演员。

7. B。由上下文可知“她曾在法国、意大利和美国学习过音乐”。

8. C。由上下文可知，此處是老师告诉她以后有能力成为一名出色的歌唱家。

9. A。前面说“你有能力成为一名出色的歌唱家”，现在话锋一转，“但是你必须愿意努力学习、刻苦勤奋很多年”。be prepared to do sth 表示“有能力并且愿意做某事”。

10. C。这是老师继续说的话：在你一生中要把全部时间用于音乐，不能用在其他方面。

11. B。由 Dorothy 遇到了 David 并与他结婚等来看，当时她的年龄不可能是 8 岁、80 岁或 88 岁，当时 Dorothy 为 18 岁比较合理。

12. B。/13. A。听了老师的话，再加上当时她只有 18 岁，“她确信音乐是充实她生活的全部内容”。fill ones life 为“填充生活，充实生活”。

14. D。有接近一年的时间，Dorothy 什么也不想，这里说的是她一心扑在学习音乐上。

15. D。前面说她有一年的时间把心思全扑在学习音乐上，这里说的是“接着她遇到了在欧洲旅游的 David”，这动摇了她学习音乐的念头。meet with 意为“遇到，偶然碰到”。

16. A。从下文 David 要她做他的妻子及 Dorothy 也想嫁给他等来看，这里说的是他们见面后不久就相爱了。fall in love （with sb / sth） 意为“爱上某人或某物”。

17. C。从上文“他们相爱”可推测，此处说的是“David 要她做他的妻子”。

18. D。Dorothy 也想嫁给 David，“但是她也爱音乐”，她不知道怎么办，这就在嫁人与学习音乐方面产生了矛盾。

19. B。下文 David 说学习音乐和结婚，“你二者不可能兼得”。possibly可以与 cant 连用，表示“不可能”。

20. B。从上下文特别是 Now Lauren became a singer instead of her 可推测，Dorothy 想成为歌唱家的愿望由女儿来完成了，故此处用 hope。will往往含有“遗嘱，遗愿”的意思，在此不太合乎情理。
