高三英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed very busy 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 had nothing to do with the cause of them.

One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “Do you think I am 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 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.”

It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn't seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.

“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.”

51. At the beginning, Miss Eyre's impressions of Mr. Rochester was all except __________.

A. busy              B. sociable                 C. dull                D. changeable

52. The underlined sentence means __________.

A. Only by meeting him around the house sometimes did I know a little about him.

B. Only by coming to the house could I know about him.

C. I occasionally met him but my knowledge about him was poor.

D. What I knew about him was limited in the house.

53. From what Mr. Rochester told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted to __________.

A. tell her all his troubles

B. tell her his life experience

C. blame her for misunderstanding him

D. change his circumstances

54. At the end of the passage, Mr. Rochester sounded __________.

A. rude              B. cold               C. polite            D. encouraging

55. According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?

A. Miss Eyre was at Lowood School before she came to Mr. Rochester’s house.

B. Miss Eyre didn’t see Mr. Rochester often.

C. Miss Eyre was honest, brave and confident.

The news that China bans time-travel TV dramas and movies got a lot of attention on the internet. Yet, time travel in China is a bit different from time travel in common sense．It is anything but science fiction and always goes backwards in time．There is minimum imagination involved--no ever-ending circles that mess up present and future, no advanced technology, no new social orders or new human forms from the twenty--whatever century, everything is a known historical fact when you travel through in China．

It is not even called time travel; rather the Chinese people refer it as time crossover．Time crossover has been an extremely popular theme for online novels for years(in fact , it is an indispensible part of China’s online culture), and didn’t get picked up by TV and the big screen until recent two years．Most of time-travel dramas and movies are adapted from popular online novels and like in other cases adaptations are never better than the original books．

The main plot of time-travel novels or TV dramas can be very well summarized in one sentence: from nobody to somebody．Time travel in China is more about escaping from the reality than about realizing wild dreams．

In China , there is no need of time machine either．People travel backwards in time via the possession of antiques presence at historical places of interest encounter of life-threatening accidents or simple a look into the mirror．Some time-travel novels even start with “I wanted to go back to history so much that one morning when I opened my eyes I was back．” Technology is not relevant at all．

Though China is not short of histories to go back to, people have their own preferences and it is pretty much a gender （性别）thing．If the main character is male then he usually goes back to special times in history when he is able to help build up or tear up a dynasty．A typical example is A Step Into the Past(寻秦记), the first time-travel TV drama in China, which tells the story of how a SWAT member helps to unite China and build up Qin Dynasty ．

On the other hand , female characters primarily go back to Qing Dynasty partly because Qing Dynasty has the most number of princes to fall in love with．Yongzheng Emperor is the favorite．As can be seen in Startling by Each Step（步步惊心）, a Qing time crossover classic, a girl goes back to Qing Dynasty and falls in love with Yongzheng Emperor and his brothers．

1.As for time travel in China, which of the following ideas does the writer agree to ?

A．it is complicated and can be classified into science fiction.

B．it is often based on the familiar story in history.

C．it sometimes messes up the times and social orders.

D．it always occurs in any times but the time before.

2.The writing purpose of this passage is to ________.

A．analyze why the time -travel TV dramas are banned in China

B．introduce the characteristics of the time-travel TV dramas in China

C．show the difference between time travel in China and in other cultures

D．advise people to watch the time-travel TV dramas in China

3.It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A．China now has banned any forms of productions about time travel

B．adapted from online novels, time-travel TV and movie productions enjoy more praise

C．the main character always follows a set pattern in the time-travel TV dramas in China

D．all the time-travel productions are about heroes and their success

4.The news mentioned in the very beginning is intended to________.

A．prove author’s view    B．introduce the topic

C．give an example           D．work as a topic sentence
