Hello, I’m Steve Ember. Today we tell about a man known as Johnny Appleseed. His real name was Johnny Chapman. Little was known about John Chapman’s childhood. When he was old enough to leave home, he slowly traveled south and west from Massachusetts to the state of Pennsylvania He is said to have cleared land and planted apple seeds near a waterway. In a short time, the seeds grew to become trees that produced fruit. Pennsylvania was the first stop in what would become a life-long effort to plant apple trees. After a few years, Chapman left the hills of western Pennsylvania and traveled west into the Ohio Valley. He planted apple seeds in several areas near a place called Licking Creek.
Chapman planted with thoughts about future markets for his crops. His trees often grew in land near settlements. He often sold his apple seeds to settlers. Sometimes, he gave away trees to needy settlers. When low on seeds, he returned east to Pennsylvania to get more. He got the seeds from apple presses—machines used to make apples into a drink called apple cider. Before long, Chapman’s trees were growing in fields across Ohio. People began calling him Johnny Appleseed.
Johnny Appleseed was a small man with lots of energy. He had long dark hair. His eyes were black and bright. He never married. He lived very simply. For years, he traveled alone in the wilderness, without a gun or knife. He slept in the open air and did not wear shoes on his feet. Some people gave him clothing as payment for his apple trees. But sometimes he wore a large cloth bag or sack as clothing. The sack had holes for his head and arms. On his head, he wore a metal container for a hat. He also used this pot for cooking his food. People said he lived this way because he wanted to. He had enough money for shelter and clothes if he had wanted to buy these things. But he used his money to improve his apple business and help other people. He was famous for his gentleness and bravery. Both settlers and Native Americans liked him. Everywhere he traveled, he was welcomed. Reports from that period suggest that some Native Americans believed he was "touched by God."
19. Where did Johnny Chapman start planting apple trees?
20. What does the speaker say about Johnny Chapman’s life?
21. According to the speaker, how did Johnny Chapman spend his money?
选项
A、He lived a simple and lonely life.
B、He usually did not wear anything.
C、He divorced and never married again.
D、He traveled without a gun or knife.
答案
D
解析
根据选项内容,推测本题可能考查某人的生活经历和方式。讲座中后半段提到,Johnny Chapman在很多年的时间里独自在野外游历,既不带枪,也不带刀,D项正确。讲座中提到Chapman经常一个人游历(traveled alone),但没有说他很孤独(lonely),A项中的lonely不正确。Chapman不把钱花在买衣服上,经常将布袋或麻袋当衣服穿,并不是不穿衣服,故B项“他经常什么都不穿”错误。讲座提到Chapman never married,是指他从未结过婚,而不是说他离婚后没有再结婚,故C项也不正确。
