III. 篇章阅读理解：请阅读下面的文章，并回答问题。（每题2分，5小题，共10分） We had just starteda round of Bloody Marys. My girl friend took a sip, looked idly around the roomand suddenly, with more vivacity (轻松活泼) than I had seenin weeks, exclaimed, “Isn’t that Ernest Hemingway?”
At the end of the bar, talking on the telephone, was atall 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 lifewas 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 tothe bar. Hemingway had just ended his phone call.
“Mr. Hemingway,” I said, “the young lady at the far tableand 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 wasbecause I was so obviously on the spot or because she was so pretty-she reallydid look like a cross between Gene Tierney and Audrey Hepburn, as people oftenremarked-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’dhe 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 lookingtoward the end of the bar, a shadow loomed over the table and Hemingway satdown. We ordered another round of Bloody Marys.
Hemingway told us he was going down to Spain for thebullfights. He said he had fully recovered from injuries suffered when hissmall plane had crashed in the African jungle a few months before. He asked mewhat kind of car I drove, and when I told him I had a Triumph TR-2-a big enginefor a small chassis (汽车底盘) -he remarked, “Get us the manifold pressurein one of those and you can really roll.”
We chatted for a few moments. Then he looked at his watchand said: “I’d like to stay longer, but I’ve got a dinner date. Nice talking toyou.”
My girl friend took my hand and smiled warmly at me for thefirst time in weeks. “You’ve got nerve,” she said.
I signaled for the check. “Monsieur Hemingway a paye,” thewaiter said. Mr. Hemingway had paid for the drinks.
