分析 由于作者经常听到自己的奶奶说"园艺工作有益于精神"这句话,因此作者就一直梦想着要建一个花园;在作者发现了一块空地后,于是便经历了"申请使用空地---张贴海报并找志愿者帮忙清理空地---在空地上种花,种树---最终建起社区花园"这样一个艰难而又使作者收益匪浅的过程;从而使作者领悟到奶奶那句"园艺工作有益于精神"的话是对的.
解答 答案:
41.C 联系上下文 根据下文"but,as her only granddaughter,I live(42)in the city."使用了转折连词but可知,作者与奶奶住的不是同一个地方,由于作者是住城市里,因此可推测出:作者的奶奶应是住在农村;故选C.

44.A 联系上下文 根据下文提到"the chance came by itself.(机会自己来了)"可知,此处的意思应是:但我从来没有这样的机会;故选A.

50.A 考查句意理解 由于使用国家的土地需要得到政府相关部门的书面答复,故此处的意思是:在市里给我书面答复并允许我使用这块地之前;故选A.
