【解析】

文章大意：短文主要叙述了蚱蜢和蚂蚁的故事。蚂蚁们很勤劳，在夏天就开始收集过冬的食物，而蚱蜢在夏天只顾唱歌、跳舞，不收集食物。在冬天来临时，蚱蜢因为没有储存食物而感到饥饿。告诉人们总是要努力工作而准备着。

1.句意：它们中所有的蚂蚁都很忙。

busy忙的；easy容易的；lazy懒惰的；full满的。根据上句“The ants(蚂蚁) are collecting food. ”蚂蚁们正在收集食物可知，它们都很忙，故答案为A。

2.句意：因此它问蚁王，“你们为什么要收集食物呢？”

but但是；because因为；so因此；or或者。根据上句“The Grasshopper doesn’t know why the ants are working so hard, ”蚱蜢不知道蚂蚁们为什么工作那么努力和下句是因果关系，故答案为C。

3.句意：“很快就是冬天。我们必须做准备”，蚁王说。

spring春天；summer夏天；autumn秋天；winter冬天。根据下句“It is July. Winter is ___4___.”它是七月份，冬天还很远可知，故答案为D。

4.句意：它是七月份，冬天还很远。

in front在前面；far away离得远；on left表达错误；on top在上面。根据“Winter will come soon. ”句意可知，故答案为B。

5.句意：到处有很多的食物。

no没有；much多的；small小的；little少的，几乎没有。根据下句“Stop working. Come to sing and dance with me. ”停止工作，来和我们一起唱歌和跳舞吧可知，应是食物很多，故答案为B。

6.句意：你也应当收集一些食物。

also也；only仅仅、只；both两者都；never从不。根据上句“I have no time to sing and play. Winter will come soon. ”我没有时间唱歌和玩。冬天很快就来了可知，是劝蚱蜢也收集食物，故答案为A。

7.句意：否则你在冬天将没有东西吃。

drink喝；do做；eat吃；think认为。根据上文中蚂蚁在收集食物可知，空处应是“吃的东西”，故答案为C。

8.句意：但是蚱蜢不听蚂蚁说。

listen听；talk交谈；write些；think认为。根据下句“He just keeps singing in summer and autumn. ”他只在夏天和秋天一直唱歌可知，蚱蜢不听蚂蚁说，故答案为A。

9.句意：蚱蜢很饿，因为他很长时间不吃东西了。

happy高兴；different不同的；hungry饿的；cool酷的、凉爽的。根据后半句意思可知，故答案为C。

10.句意：因此他到处看以便找到吃的东西。

find找到；borrow借；show展示；take带走。根据句意可知，故答案为A。

11.句意：他听到房子里传出的歌声。

hears听见；sees看见；carries携带、运送；collects收集。根据宾语songs可知，是听见，故答案为A。

12.句意：蚱蜢很伤心，然后走开了。

interesting有趣的；bright明亮的；sad伤心地；comfortable舒服的。蚱蜢向蚂蚁要食物，没有要到，还讽刺他说“问什么现在你不唱歌跳舞了”，所以肯定是伤心，故答案为C。
