Questions 1-10 are based on the following passage.
This passage is adapted from Saki, 'The Schartz-Metterklume Method." Originally published in 1911.
Lady Carlotta stepped out on to the platform of the small wayside station and took a turn or two up and down its uninteresting length, to kill time till the Line train should be pleased to proceed on its way. Then,
5 in the roadway beyond, she saw a horse struggling with a more than ample load, and a carter of the sort that seems to bear a sullen hatred against the animal that helps him to earn a living. Lady Carlotta promptly betook her to the roadway, and put rather a
10 different complexion on the struggle. Certain of her acquaintances were wont to give her plentiful admonition as to the undesirability of interfering on behalf of a distressed animal, such interference being “none of her business.” Only once had she put the
15 doctrine of non-interference into practice, when one of its most eloquent exponents had been besieged for nearly three hours in a small and extremely uncomfortable may-tree by an angry boar-pig, while Lady Carlotta, on the other side of the fence, had
20 proceeded with the water-colour sketch she was engaged on, and refused to interfere between the boar and his prisoner. It is to be feared that she lost the friendship of the ultimately rescued lady. On this occasion she merely lost the train, which gave way to
25 the first sign of impatience it had shown throughout the journey, and steamed off without her. She bore the desertion with philosophical indifference; her
friends and relations were thoroughly well used to the fact of her luggage arriving without her.
30 She wired a vague non-committal message to her destination to say that she was coming on “by another train.” Before she had time to think what her next move might be she was confronted by an imposingly attired lady, who seemed to be taking a
35 prolonged mental inventory of her clothes and looks.
“You must be Miss Hope, the governess I’ve come to meet,” said the apparition, in a tone that admitted of very little argument.
“Very well, if I must I must/’ said Lady Carlotta to
40 herself with dangerous meekness.
“I am Mrs. Quabarl,” continued the lady; “and where, pray, is your luggage?”
“It’s gone astray,” said the alleged governess, falling in with the excellent rule of life that the absent
45 are always to blame; the luggage had, in point of fact, behaved with perfect correctitude. Tve just telegraphed about it,” she added, with a nearer approach to truth.
“How provoking,” said Mrs. Quabarl; “these
50 railway companies are so careless. However, my maid can lend you things for the night,” and she led the way to her car.
During the drive to the Quabarl mansion Lady Carlotta was impressively introduced to the
55 nature of the charge that had been thrust upon her; she learned that Claude and Wilfrid were delicate, sensitive young people, that Irene had the artistic temperament highly developed, and that Viola was
something or other else of a mould equally
60 commonplace among children of that class and type in the twentieth century.
“I wish them not only to be TAUGHT,” said Mrs. Quabarl, “but INTERESTED in what they learn. In their history lessons, for instance, you must try to
65 make them feel that they are being introduced to the life-stories of men and women who really lived, not merely committing a mass of names and dates to memory. French, of course, I shall expect you to talk at meal-times several days in the week.”
70 “I shall talk French four days of the week and Russian in the remaining three.”
“Russian? My dear Miss Hope, no one in the house speaks or understands Russian.”
“That will not embarrass me in the least,” said
75 Lady Carlotta coldly.
Mrs. Quabarl, to use a colloquial expression, was knocked off her perch. She was one of those imperfecdy self-assured individuals who are magnificent and autocratic as long as they are not
80 seriously opposed. The least show of unexpected resistance goes a long way towards rendering them cowed and apologetic. When the new governess failed to express wondering admiration of the large newly-purchased and expensive car, and lightly
85 alluded to the superior advantages of one or two makes which had just been put on the market, the discomfiture of her patroness became almost abject. Her feelings were those which might have animated a general of ancient warfaring days, on beholding his
90 heaviest battle-elephant ignominiously driven off the field by slingers and javelin throwers.
1. 下面哪个选项能最好地概括文章?
A. 一位女士衡量接受一份工作的利弊
B. 一位女士没有更正一个将她错认为其他人的陌生人的错误
C. 一位女士假装其他人报复一个熟人的故事
D. 一位女士不喜欢她的新雇主的故事
答案:B
考点:主旨题
解析:在这篇文章中,卡洛塔在火车站等火车的时候遇到了Quabarl女士(32-35行)Quabarl以为卡洛塔女士是她的新的家庭教师。Quabarl女士说:“你一定是‘希望’女士,我来接的家庭女教师。”(36-37行)卡洛塔女士并没有更正Quabarl的错误,而是回答说:“好吧,如果你说是那就是吧。”(39行)而选项A、C、D不正确因为这篇文章说的不是关于女性衡量一个工作选择的故事,也不是关于向熟人寻仇的,也不是关于她不喜欢她的新雇主的故事的。
2. 在第二行,“turn”最有可能是什么意思?
A. 轻轻地动
B. 转弯
C. 短步行
D. 路程的改变
答案:C
考点:词汇题
解析:在1-3行,文章的叙述者说卡洛塔女士“走到站台上,在站台上来回的转弯儿”以便于“消磨时间”。在上下文中,卡洛塔女士来回地转弯儿,意即短时间地在站台上散步,一边等待着火车开。选项A、B、D都不正确因为在上下文中“turn”并不是轻轻地动的意思,也不是转弯儿、路程改变的意思。卡洛塔女士尽管在站台散步的时候需要来回的转弯儿,但是“take a turn”实际意思是说卡洛塔在站台来回短时间散步的意思。
3. 这篇文章很明白地表示其他人认为卡洛塔女士_____
A. 直率的
B. 机智的
C. 雄心勃勃的
D. 不友好的
答案:A
考点:态度题
解析:在10-14行中,文章的叙述者说卡洛塔认识的一些人经常责备卡洛塔总是管其他人的闲事,或是对其他人的事情发表评论。选项B、C、D不正确因为文章的叙述者并没有标明其他人认为卡洛塔机智,不友好,雄心勃勃。

A.10-14行(“Certain…business”)
B.22-23行(“It is…lady”)
C.23-26行(“On this…her”)
D.30-32行(“She…train”)
答案:A
考点:因果关系题
解析:在10-14行,文章的叙述者说人们经常批评卡洛塔,并且建议她不要参与其他人的事,这些事根本就不关她的事。人们经常批评卡洛塔的行为的事实证明了卡洛塔是个坦率的人。选项B、C、D没有提供证据证明卡洛塔这个人是直率的,选项B、C、D提到了卡洛塔,但是没有具体说明别人对她的看法。
5. 文章中14-15行对卡洛塔如何将不管闲事这个原则付诸实施的描述是为了____
A. 为了说明她会骗人
B. 为了举例说明她本性中隐藏的残酷
C. 让读者看到她性格有意思的一面
D. 解释她行为的惊人变化
答案:C
考点:推断题
解析:文章叙述者提到当卡洛塔的一个死对头因为一只发怒的公猪被困树上的时候(14-22行)。这个死对头是个女的,这个女的经常指责卡洛塔多管闲事。卡洛塔女士决定将不管他人闲事的原则付诸实施,不帮助她的被困树上的女性朋友,这表明,卡洛塔很有幽默感。选项A、B、D不正确因为文章中对她如何将不多管他人闲事的原则付诸实施的描述不能够表明卡洛塔是骗人的,残忍的,也不能够说明她改变了自己的行为
6. 在55行里,“charge”一词的意思是___
A. 责任
B. 攻击
C. 费用

答案:A
考点:词汇题
解析:文章的叙述者在文章当中叙述了Quabarl女士告诉卡洛塔她作为一个家庭教师的责任,并且给卡洛塔说明孩子们的情况(53-61行)的情节。因为卡洛塔实际上在假装家庭女教师,所以“charge”这个词指的是她照顾孩子时候的责任,工作职责。选项B、C、D不正确因为在上下文中,“charge”一词的意思不是攻击、费用。

A. 和他们的很多同领人没什么差别
B. 不同寻常地充满智慧的,有创造力的
C. 想到女教师就充满敌意
D. 和同龄人相比受教育程度更高
答案:A
考点:推断题
解析:卡洛塔女士从Quabarl女士那里了解到克劳德,威尔弗里德,Irene的相关情况(53-58行)。然后作者在文章当中还描述了Quabarl女士的孩子Viola知识同辈孩子中资质平平的一个(58-61行)。关于Viola的阐述表明Quabarl女士的孩子要么是有特殊技能,要么是和周围的孩子有均等水平,选项B、C、D不正确因为文章的叙述者没有说Quabarl女士的孩子有创造力,有智慧,想到女教师就充满敌意,也未提到他们和同龄人相比受教育程度高。

A. 传统价值观

解析:在62-69行,Quabarl女士对卡洛塔说她想要自己的孩子积极参与学习中,并且希望卡洛塔上课的时候不应该只让孩子们死记硬背一些人名和重大事件的日期。Quabarl女士强调积极参与的教育方式,因为她说希望自己的孩子不是单纯的被教,而是对自己所学的东西感兴趣。选项A、C、D不正确因为文章的叙述者没有说Quabarl女士青睐于强调传统价值观,强调培养文艺范儿和高记忆力的教育方式
9. 如文中所说,Quabarl女士是一个什么样的女人?
A. 表面友善,但是实际上很自私
B. 色厉内荏
C. 社交很成功,但是却爱不可理喻地挖苦人
D. 很慷慨,但是很鲁莽
答案:B
考点:推断题
解析:在77-82行,文章的叙述者认为Quabarl女士看起来专制,强大,意即外面看来厉害,但是实际上被别人挑战、否定她的权威的时候就“被吓坏了”、“急于道歉的”。选项A、C、D不正确因为文章的叙述者并未说Quabarl女士自私、挖苦、冲动鲁莽。

A.49-50行(“How…careless”)
B.62-68行(“I wish…memory”)
C.70-73行(“I shall…Russian”)
D.77-82行(“She was…apologetic”)
答案:D
考点:因果关系题
解析:在77-82行,文章叙述者提供证据证明Quabarl女士咄咄逼人,专制,但是却很容易被人否定、反对。“在没有受到别人反对的时候,她是那种非常自信的人,十分专制,十分自以为是。但是不期而至的反抗就足以让她被吓到,并且道歉。选项A、B、C没有提供证据证明Quabarl女士咄咄逼人,但是很容易被反对。A和B选项不正确因为它们说的是Quabarl女士对铁路公司的看法和对教育的看法。C选项不正确是因为它主要在说卡洛塔,而不是Quabarl女士。
