(1) Gabriel Oak was a sensible man of good character, who had been brought up by his father as a shepherd, and then managed to save enough money to rent his own farm on Norcombe Hill, in Dorset. He was twenty-eight, a tall, well-built man, who did not seem, however, to think his appearance was very important.
(2) One winter morning he was in one of his fields on the side of Norcombe Hill. Looking over his gate, Gabriel could see a yellow cart, loaded with furniture and plants, coming up the road. Right on top of the pile sat a handsome young woman. As Gabriel was watching, the cart stopped at the top of the hill, and the driver climbed down to go back and fetch something that had fallen off.
(3) The girl sat quietly in the sunshine for a few minutes. Then she picked up a parcel lying next to her, and looked round to see if the driver was coming back. There was no sign of him. She unwrapped the parcel, and took out the mirror it contained. The sun shone on her lovely face and hair. Although it was December, she looked almost summery, sitting there in her bright red jacket with the fresh green plants around her. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled, thinking that only the birds could see her. But behind the gate Gabriel Oak was watching too. "She must be rather vain," he thought. "She doesn’t need to look in that mirror at all!"
(4) As the girl smiled and blushed at herself, she seemed to be dreaming, dreaming perhaps of men’s hearts won and lost. When she heard the driver’s footsteps, she packed the mirror away. The cart moved on downhill to the tollgate. Gabriel followed on foot. As he came closer he could hear the driver arguing with the gatekeeper.
(5) "My mistress’s niece, that’s her on top of the furniture, is not going to pay you the extra two pence," said the driver. "She says she’s offered you quite enough already. " "Well, if she doesn’t pay the toll, your mistress’s niece can’t pass through the gate," replied the gatekeeper. Gabriel thought that two pence did not seem worth bothering about, so he stepped forward. "Here," he said, handing the coins to the gatekeeper, "let the young woman pass. "
(6) The girl in the red jacket looked carelessly down at Gabriel, and told her man to drive on, without even thanking the farmer. Gabriel and the gatekeeper watched the cart move away. "That’s a lovely young woman," said the gatekeeper. " But she has her faults," answered Gabriel.
(7) "True, farmer. " "And the greatest of them is what it always is with women. " "Wanting to win the argument every time? Oh, you’re right. "
(8) "No, her great fault is that she’s vain. "
(9) A few days later, at nearly midnight on the longest night of the year, Gabriel Oak could be heard playing his flute on Norcombe Hill. The sky was so clear and the stars so visible that the earth could almost be seen turning. In that cold, hard air the sweet notes of the flute rang out. The music came from a little hut on wheels, standing in the corner of a field. Shepherds’ huts like this are used as a shelter during the winter and spring, when shepherds have to stay out all night in the fields, looking after very young lambs.
(10) Gabriel’s two hundred and fifty sheep were not yet paid for. He knew that, in order to make a success of the farming business, he had to make sure they produced a large number of healthy lambs. So he was determined to spend as many nights as necessary in the fields, to save his lambs from dying of cold or hunger.
(11) The hut was warm and quite comfortable inside. There was a stove, and some bread and beer on a shelf. On each side of the hut was a round hole like a window, which could be closed with a piece of wood. These air-holes were usually kept open when the stove was burning, because too much smoke in a small, airless hut could kill the shepherd.
(12) From time to time the sound of the flute stopped, and Gabriel came out of his hut to check his sheep. Whenever he discovered a half-dead new lamb, he brought the creature into the hut. In front of the stove it soon came back to life, and then he could return it to its mother.
(13) He noticed a light further down the hill. It came from a wooden hut at the edge of a field. He walked down to it and put his eye to a hole in the wood. Inside, two women were feeding a sick cow. One of the women was middle-aged. The other was young and wore a cloak. Gabriel could not see her face.
(14) "I think she’ll be all right now, aunt," said the younger woman. "I can come and feed her again in the morning. What a pity I lost my hat on the way here!" Just then the girl dropped her cloak, and her long hair fell on to the shoulders of her red jacket. Gabriel recognized the girl of the yellow cart and the mirror, the girl who owed him two pence. The women left the hut, and Gabriel returned to his sheep.
(15) As the sun was rising the next morning, Gabriel waited outside his hut until he saw the young woman riding up the hill. She was sitting sideways on the horse in the usual lady’s position. He suddenly thought of the hat she had lost, searched for it, and found it among some leaves on the ground. He was just going to go up to her to give it back, when the girl did something very strange. Riding under the low branches of a tree, she dropped backwards flat on the horse’s back, with her feet on its shoulders. Then, first looking round to make sure no one was watching, she sat up straight again and pulled her dress to her knees, with her legs on either side of the horse. This was obviously easier for riding, but not very ladylike. Gabriel was surprised and amused by her behaviour. He waited until she returned from her aunt’s hut, and stepped out into the path in front of her.
Which of the following statements can be inferred from Gabriel’s first encounter with the young woman?
选项
A、Her driver drove the cart back to find the thing falling off.
B、She took out her mirror immediately the driver left.
C、She didn’t found Gabriel watching her when looking into the mirror.
D、Gabriel thought she was a beauty with vanity and competitiveness.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。根据题干关键词first encounter定位至第三段。该段第七句和第八句提到年轻女士看着镜中的自己笑了,以为只有小鸟会看见她。但在大门后,加布里埃尔也正在看着,由此可知,年轻女士照镜子时并未发现加布里埃尔也在看着她,故C为答案。第二段最后一句提到马车停在了山顶上,车夫爬下来,走回去把掉落的东西捡回来,由此可知,车夫去寻找掉落的东西时是步行回去的,而不是驾车回去的,故排除A;第三段前四句提到年轻女士是在车夫离开后,又静静地在阳光下坐了几分钟之后才把镜子从包袱中拿出来,而不是车夫一离开就把镜子拿出来了,故排除B;第三段最后两句提到加布里埃尔认为她肯定很虚荣,但好胜心是第七段中守卡人认为女士所具有的最大缺点,而不是加布里埃尔的观点,故排除D。
