One spring shortly before the period of the 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 is 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.
[17]He helped with the planting, cut wood, and took the cows to pasture. 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 area ever saw him or heard from him again.
About 30 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 a penknife: James A. Garfield. "Jim" was now the President of the United States!
16. When did the story take place?
17. Which of the following work did Jim do on Taylor’s farm?
18. What can be inferred from the passage?
选项
A、Jim joined the army after leaving the farm.
B、James A. Garfield was Jim’s idol.
C、Taylor may regret having refused Jim.
D、Taylor suffered a crop failure.
答案
C
解析
推断题。文中提到,Jim爱上了Taylor的女儿,而Taylor却告诉Jim自己不会把女儿嫁给一个没有金钱,没有地位,没有前途的人,而30年后Taylor却发现当年他拒绝的人就是现今的the president of the United States,由此可推断Taylor现在可能会后悔曾经拒绝了Jim,故答案为C)。
