答案解析

【定位】第3～7段。
推理题。本题涉及对小说人物的理解。简•爱心直口快，说罗切斯特长得并不英俊，罗切斯特说她“近乎无礼”。简•爱就道歉说：“我本该说外貌并不重要之类的。”在罗切斯特看来，简•爱心直口快(honesty)，不矫饰，尽管说的话不中听，毕竟实话实说；但若说一些漂亮话来使罗切斯特高兴．则说明简•爱把罗切斯特看成了一个喜欢听漂亮话的人。这就进一步在他“背上扎刀子”。换言之，简•爱所说的漂亮话在罗切斯特先生看来比直接评价他的外貌来得更为苛刻。故D正确。
【点睛】stab sb．in the back口语中意为“背后中伤某人．背叛某人”。从第4段的before I realized it可知简．爱并不是有意要更尖刻，所以选项B不正确。简•爱所说的“I'm sorry”也不能说明她后悔跟罗切斯特交谈．丽是对自己直截的言词感到抱歉，因此选项C
也不正确。

3 根据材料，回答题。TEXT D
The ideal companion machine--the computer--would not only look, feel, and sound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in a pleasant manner. Those qualities that make interaction with other people enjoyable would be imitated as closely as possible, and the machine would, appear to be charming, and easygoing. Its informal conversational style would make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.
Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy. The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.
An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that people obtain from interpersonal friendships. The machine would participate in interesting conversation that could continue from previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user's life as revealed in earlier contact, and it would be under-standing and good-humored. The computer's own personality would be lively and impressive, and it would develop in response to that of the user. With features such as these, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.Which of the following is NOT a feature of the ideal companion machine?

A．Active in communicatio

B．Attractive in personalit

C．Enjoyable in performanc

D．Unpredictable in behaviou
