解析:

本文是英國女作家洛特·勃朗蒂的代表作《簡愛》的節(jié)選，講述了 Jane Eyre的苦難生活片斷。Jane Eyre從小父母雙亡，與嬸嬸及堂兄妹住在一起，不過常被堂兄妹戲弄。后來被 Mr Brockehurst領到他開辦的學校學習。在那里學習了 6年后她在 Thornfield當了一名私人教師。

1. C。從 …with my aunt and cousins who treated me unfairly. My cousins teased me…可推測，“我”過著很悲慘的生活。

2. B。前部分為 My cousins teased me，那么由 and連接的內(nèi)容應與前部分內(nèi)容在語意上保持一致，故此處應為 my aunt never showed me any love。

3. A。從上下文可知堂兄妹及嬸嬸對“我”都不好，此處舉例說有一次堂兄對“我”大吼大叫，突出了堂兄的霸道，后面直接引語為大叫的內(nèi)容。shout at sb意為“對某人大吼大叫”，往往含有貶義。

4. B。因與堂兄打架，“我”被鎖進了一間屋子，由此可推測“我”獨自呆在那里哭泣。live指長時期的居住，不合語境。

5. D。從下文來看，“我”被虐待的情況一直持續(xù)到 Mr Brockehurst來這里訪問。

6. C。從下文 But after an illness killed several students, new owners…來看，這里不是強調(diào)誰建的學校，而是誰是學校的擁有者，因這才有權決定讓像“我”這樣的孩子去上學。

7. C。前面說 Mr Brockehurst來見“我”，并讓“我”去上學。由此推測兩天后“我”離開家去上學了。這與本段第 1句話相吻合。

8. B。從下文的 The food was bad and I was often cold…來看，此處說的是一開始在 Lowood School的生活問題。

9. B。根據(jù)句中的 but及 and可知此部分應與 enjoyed studying在語意上保持一致，故此處應用 friends，即 make friends(交朋友)，這也是讓人高興的事情。而 make noise和 make faces都不合乎語境。

10. A。從上下文及搭配關系看，此處應選 took over，意為“接管”。從此開始，“我”的學校生活有了轉(zhuǎn)機，生活大大改善了。

11. C。上文說“我”在學校里學習，后面為 a teacher，這說明“我”的身份發(fā)生了變化，故用 become。

12. B。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)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”在一個家庭當了私人教師。

13. B。從上下文來看，此處說的是 Bessie來看“我”，并告訴“我”7年前叔叔曾來找過“我”。

14. A。這是 Bessie告訴“我”的話的內(nèi)容。從后面的 I wondered if he would ever look for me again可推測，7年前叔叔來找過“我”。

15. C。從上下文來看，這里談論的是“我”從事家教的開始。

16. B。從前面可知“我”開始了新的工作——家教。此處是對新工作的具體說明，即教一個名叫 Adele的女孩。

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

18. B。前面說 Mr Rochester很少呆在家里，這與后面的 my time was mainly spent with Adele and the servants構(gòu)成因果關系，故此處選用so。

19. D。從后面的 Often I heard odd sounds ___20___ from the top floor of the house等可推測，當時在這個新的家里有一些“我”感到奇怪的事情。strange與后面的 odd語意一致。

20. A。這里用 come表示“從某地傳來聲音”，其他選項都不合語境。
