单选题根据以下资料，回答题：
        1801．I have just returned from a visit to my landlord--the solitary neighbour that I shall be troubled with．
        This is certainly a beautiful country! In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society．A perfect misanthropisfs heaven: and Mr． Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us． A capital fellow! He little imagined how my heart warmed towards him when I beheld his black eyes withdraw so suspiciously under their brows, as 1 rode up, and when his fingers'sheltered themselves, with a jehlous resolution, still farther in his waistcoat, as I announced my name．"Mr．Heathcliffl．" I said．
A nod was the answer．
        "Mr．Lockwood, your new tenant, sir．I do myself the honor of calling as soon as possible after my arrival, to express the hope that I have not inconvenienced you by my perseverance in soliciting the occupation of Thrushcross Grange: I heard yesterday you had had some thoughts--""Thrushcross Grange is my own, sir," he interrupted, wincing．? "I should not allow anyone to inconvenience me, if I could hinder it--walk in!"
        The "walk in" was uttered with closed teeth, and expressed the sentiment, "Go to the deuce": even the gate over which he leant manifested no sympathizing movement to the words; and I think that circumstance determined me to accept the invitation: I felt interested in a man who seemed more exaggeratedly reserved than myself．
When he saw my horse's breast fairly pushing the barrier, he did put out his hand to unchain it, and then sullenly preceded me up the causeway, calling, as we entered the court: "Joseph, take Mr Lockwood's horse; and bring up some wine．"
        "Here we have the whole establishment of domestics, I suppose," was the reflection suggested by this compound order．
        No wonder the grass grows up between the flags, and cattle are the only hedge-cutters．
        Joseph was an elderly, nay, an old man: very old, perhaps, though hale and sinewy． "The Lord help us．? He soliloquized in an undertone of pecvish displeasure, while relieving me of my horse: looking, meantime, in my face so sourly that I charitably conjectured he must have need of divine aid to digest his dinner, and his pious ejaculation had no reference to my unexpected advent．
Wuthering Heights is the name of Mr Heathcliff's dwelling．? "Wuthering" being a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather．Ptre, bracing ventilation they must have up there at all times, indeed;, one may guess the power of the north wind blowing over the edge, by the excessive slant of a few stunted firs at the end of the house; and by a range of gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun．Happily, the architect had foresight to build it strong'．
the narrow windows are deeply set in the wall, and the comers defended with large jutting stones．
The phrase "a suitable pair" (Line 4, Para．1) is used to suggest that both Mr．Heathcliffand "I" __________

A．like each other?
B．trust each other?
C．are reserved?
D．enjoy life in the city

参考答案C

解析:C。本题考查人物细节描写。根据题干信息词a suitable pair和both Mr．Heathcliff and“I”将答案锁定在文章首段第五句和第六段最后。首段第五句说“我”去的地方是个misanthropist's heaven(厌世者的天堂)；第六段的最后说Mr．Heathcliff是一个比“我”自己还“reserved”的人，由此可知本题选C。
