Answer 1

1.I have nothing to eat .

2.Why not gather any food during the summer?

3.was singing .

4.B

5.然后蚂蚁们继续工作。

【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了蚱蜢自己不收集粮食，而向蚂蚁借粮食。蚂蚁问他们，夏天在忙什么，他们说他们在忙着唱歌。蚂蚁说蚱蜢不只是夏天唱歌，不收集粮食，冬季他们也整天唱歌，不干活。因此蚂蚁决定不借给蚱蜢粮食。

1. nothing, 动词不定式to eat 做后置定语，表示吃的，故此句为I have nothing to eat .

2. don’t/didn’t you=" Why" not“为什么不”。故此句的同义句为Why not gather any food during the summer?

3. I had no time to gather any food.可知此处是过去时，因为当时它正在唱歌，所以没有时间收集粮食，故此处用过去进行时，又因主语是I，故为was singing 。

4. only played and did not work during the summer.可知蚂蚁说蚱蜢他们不止在夏天忙着唱歌没有收集粮食，在冬天也没有收集粮食，只顾着唱歌和跳舞，因此没有粮食吃。故选B。

5. on doing sth.继续做某事。故此处的意思为：然后蚂蚁们继续工作。
