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.”

试题分析：文章是节选的名著《简爱》的部分内容，讲述简爱和罗切斯特先生刚刚认识的情景，和彼此的印象。
1.推理题：根据第一、 二段中 Miss Eyre 对 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. 说明 Mr. Rochester 很忙， 交际很广，第二段第一句 when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile.可知他是易变的，可知没有说到他是友好的，选B
2.句意理解题：Rochester是在Jane说了一句话： I should have said that beauty doesn’t matter, or something like that之后才说she stab him in the back.简更正了自己的看法，这令Rochester反而更加不高兴。故对应于B选项。
3.推理题：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.”他变成这样，是环境造成的。他本来也可以走回正轨。他认为简很善良，还叫她不要害怕自己。这些都说明他是想改变简对自己的看法，对应选C
4.推理题：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.”他说简不经常笑，让她放松，这说明了他对简的关心，排除于A和D选项。他说如果简飞出笼子，她就会飞得很高，这是一句鼓励人的话，encouraging.故选择答案B。
