The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds.
“Why are you sad?” asked the ant.
“I'm the prisoner of a giant.”the girl told the ant.“He won't let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain, barley(大麦)and rye(黑麦)out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together.”
“That will take you a month!” the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds.
“I know,”the girl cried, “and if I haven't finished by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!”
“Don't cry,”the ant said, “my friends and I will help you.”
Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.

听力原文: A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancee. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to give her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: rings, gold watches, diamonds—but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off, it was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancee. He had been looking at the vase for half an hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him.
The young man told him everything. The manager felt sorry for him and decided to help him. A brilliant idea struck him. The manager pointed to the comer of the shop. To his great surprise the young man saw a vase broken into many pieces. The manager said, "I can help you. I shall order my servant to pack it and take it to your fiancee. When he enters the room, he will drop it."
On the birthday of his fiancee the young man was very excited. Everything happened as had been planned. The servant brought in the vase, and as he entered the room, he dropped it. There was horror on everybody's face. However, when the vase was unpacked the guests saw that each piece was packed separately.

听力原文: One spring shortly before the period of Civil War, a boy appeared at the prosperous farm of a man named Worthy Taylor in Portage County, Ohio. The boy was looking for work. Taylor did not know anything about the boy but as spring was a busy season on a farm, Taylor hired him. The boy's name was Jim. Jim worked on the farm all through that spring and summer. He helped with the planting, cut wood and took the cow to posture. He was a good worker but quiet and retiring. He ate in the kitchen and slept in the barn on a pile of hay. He kept very much to himself.
Before the end of summer, however, young Jim had fallen in love with one of Taylor's daughters, a pretty young girl about his own age. He wanted to marry her. Taylor told him very plainly that he did not intend to let his daughter marry any young man without money, without name, and without prospects of any kind for the future. Jim said nothing in answer to this, but that night he packed his few things together and disappeared. No one in that section ever saw him or heard from him again.
About thirty years later, Taylor was tearing down his old barn in order to build a new one. On one of the wooden beams above the place where Jim used to sleep, Taylor noticed this name cut into the wood with penknife: James A. Garfield. "Jim" was now the President of the United States!

His friends, however, said that underneath he was charming and only outwardly seemed a little strange. They explained that he was sometimes very shy and reserved, and sometimes quite the opposite. His temper was unpredictable.
In view of this, it is not surprising that when a young female journalist was sent to interview him in his tiny house, she felt extremely nervous. But the interview went worse than expected, When she arrived, Mr. Hummer was sitting at a small table, and could hardly be seen for a forest of painting-brushed in pots of water. In the middle of these was a bottle of whisky. From time to time he poured some into a paint stained mug and drank it rapidly.
He smiled politely and said that of course he didn’t mind answering some questions. Putting on what she hoped was a suitably impressive voice, the girl asked him what purpose in society he thought he fulfilled as a painter. She wanted to know whether he saw his duty as a painter to be teaching people or entertaining them. The only response was a movement of surprise in the eyebrows among the painting—brushed and then a dry laugh. Finally the painter broke the silence by asking slowly what on earth she expected as an answer to such a question. He went on by saying that he didn’t see why he should have to justify himself. He merely painted pictures, and left other people to say what they meant and why he had done them.
Now it was the girl's turn to look astonished. This was not the way Important Contemporary Artists were supposed to speak, as they always had their own theories.
Before the age of seventy, Mr. Hummer______.
A.had avoided noisy exhibitions
B.had exhibited only small paintings
C.had never exhibited many paintings
D.had attracted no attention
第8题
A.background
B.foundation
C.potential

At the end of the bar, talking on the telephone, was a tall man with a white beard,handsome and imposing.
“It’s Hemingway all right,” I said.
“Why don’t you ask him to have a drink with us?” she said, knowing I wouldn’t dare. What matter if the barman at the Ritz threw me out? My life was over anyway. “I’ll ask him,” I said.
“No, no, don’t ,” she said. “I was just kidding.”
“I wasn’t,” I said, squaring my shoulders and striding to the bar. Hemingway had just ended his phone call.
“Mr. Hemingway,” I said, “the young lady at the far table and I would like you to join us for a drink, if you have time.”
He looked at me, then across the room at her. Whether it was because I was so obviously on the spot or because she was so pretty-she really did look like a cross between Gene Tierney and Audrey Hepburn, as people often remarked-he said, “I’ve got another phone call to make, and then I’ll join you.”
When I returned to the table, my girl friend asked: “What’d he say? What’d he say?”
“He said he’d join us for a drink. Maybe he was just kidding.”
A few minutes later, with both of us studiously not looking toward the end of the bar,a shadow loomed over the table and Hemingway sat down. We ordered another round of Bloody Marys.
Hemingway told us he was going down to Spain for the bullfights. He said he had fully recovered from injuries suffered when his small plane had crashed in the African jungle a few months before. He asked me what kind of car I drove, and when I told him I had a Triumph TR-2-a big engine for a small chassis (汽车底盘) -he remarked, “Get us the manifold pressure in one of those and you can really roll.”
We chatted for a few moments. Then he looked at his watch and said: “I’d like to stay longer, but I’ve got a dinner date. Nice talking to you.”
My girl friend took my hand and smiled warmly at me for the first time in weeks.“You’ve got nerve,” she said. I signaled for the check. “Monsieur Hemingway a paye,” the waiter said. Mr. Hemingway had paid for the drinks.
