Question

    The ants and the grasshopper(蝗虫)lived in the same big field. The ants always worked hard, and tried to prepare and harvest enough food for winter.

Their happy neighbor, the grasshopper, couldn’t understand them. He just kept singing. One winter day, the ants were busy spreading their grain(谷物)in the sun to dry. The grasshopper was nearly dying of hunger, so he went to the ants to ask for some food.

“Good day to you, kind neighbor,” said the grasshopper. “Won’t you lend me a little food? I will certainly repay(偿还)you before this time next year.” “Why don’t you have any food of your own?” asked an old ant. “There was a lot of food in the big field all summer. What did you do?”

“Oh,” said the grasshopper, forgetting his hunger, “I sang all day long, and all night long.” “Well, then,” said the ant, “If you can sing all summer, you should dance all winter.” And the old ant went back to her work, singing the ant song, “We ants never borrow; we ants never lend.”

【解析】

蚂蚁和蝗虫都生活在一大片田野上，蚂蚁每天都很辛劳，准备过冬的食物。而蝗虫每天只会唱歌。冬天的时候，蝗虫没有吃的，于是向蚂蚁去借。蚂蚁觉得蝗虫太懒了，没有借给它们。

1.根据短文开头 “The ants and the grasshopper(蝗虫)lived in the same big field.”可知，蚂蚁和蝗虫生活在同一片田野里。这句话是错误的。故选F。

2.根据短文第一段 “The ants always worked hard, and tried to prepare and harvest enough food for winter.”以及第二段 “Their happy neighbor, the grasshopper, couldn’t understand them. He just kept singing.”可知，蚂蚁们忙着准备过冬的食物的时候，蝗虫一直在唱歌。因此这句话是正确的。故选T。

3.根据短文第二段 “The grasshopper was nearly dying of hunger, so he went to the ants to ask for some food.”可知，冬季的一天，蝗虫没有吃的了，它去想蚂蚁要一些吃的，并不是邀请蚂蚁一起唱歌，这句话是错误的。故选F。

4.根据短文第三段 ““Oh,” said the grasshopper, forgetting his hunger, “I sang all day long, and all night long.””可知，夏天的时候，蝗虫每天每晚的唱歌。这句话符合文意，故选T。

5.由短文的最后 “And the old ant went back to her work, singing the ant song, “We ants never borrow; we ants never lend.”可知，蚂蚁说“我们蚂蚁从来不借别人的，也不借给别人”。因此蚂蚁没有借给蝗虫食物，这句话不符合文意，是错误的。故选F。
