My cousins teased me and my aunt never showed me any{{U}} (37) {{/U}}.The only person who cared about me was the maid, Bessie. One day my cousin John{{U}} (38) {{/U}}me:"You should go and beg, not live with rich folks like us! "After fighting with him I was locked in a room, where I{{U}} (39) {{/U}}for hours crying.
Things{{U}} (40) {{/U}}the same until a tall gentleman called Mr. Brockehurst came to visit. My aunt told me that I was going to a school{{U}} (41) {{/U}}by the gentleman. "Train her to be useful and humble," said Aunt. Two days later I{{U}} (42) {{/U}}my home.

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 根据…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。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 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。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 从上下文可知表兄妹及舅妈对“我”都不好,此处举例说有一次表哥对“我”大吼大叫,突出了表哥的霸道,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。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 因与表哥打架,“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。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 从下文来看,“我”被虐待的情况一直到Mr.Brockehurst来这里访问才发生改变。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 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,这才有权决定让像“我”这样的孩子去上学。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 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。这与本段第一句话相吻合。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 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。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 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。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 根据上下文及搭配关系看,此处应选took over,意为“接管”。自此,“我”的学校生活有了转机,生活大大改善了。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 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。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 根据下文内容My new life{{U}} (50) {{/U}}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。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 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”。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 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”。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 从上下文来看,这里谈论的是“我”从事家教生活的开始。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 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。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 从下文…my time was mainly spent with Adele and the servants.可推测Mr.Rochester很少呆在家里。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 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。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 从后面的Often I heard odd sounds{{U}} (55) {{/U}}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。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 这里用come与from构成固定搭配,表示“从某地传来声音”,其他选项都不合语境。
