【解析】

短文通过年轻画家和老园丁之间的对话表明老园丁对生活的热爱。

【1】句意：然后，他忽然发现老园丁是个盲人。

考查逻辑思维能力及词义辨析。A. stupid愚蠢的，B. deaf聋哑的，C. blind失明的。下文说，Why are you looking after these flowers since you can't see them?既然你看不见这些花，你为什么要照看它们？由此可知，老园丁是个盲人。故选C。

【2】句意：我可以告诉你四个原因。

考查逻辑思维能力及词义辨析。A. three三，B. four四，C. five五。在短文第一段，老园丁以“First..., Second..., Third..., As for the last one...”清楚、有条理地说明原因。由此可知，文中提到四条原因。故选B。

【3】句意：第二，尽管我看不到花儿，但我能触摸他们。

考查逻辑思维能力及词义辨析。A. however然而，表转折。B. although虽然，尽管；引导让步状语从句。C. unless除非，表示条件。由语境可知，“我看不到花儿”是让步状语从句，应由although引导。故选B。

【4】句意：第三，我能够闻到它们的香味。

考查逻辑思维能力及词义辨析。A. smoke吸烟；B. hear听见；C. smell闻，闻起来。由the fragrance of them(它们的香味)可知，动词应该是smell。故选C。

【5】句意：最后一点，那是（因为）你。

考查逻辑思维能力及词义辨析。A. you你，你们； B. me我（宾格） C. him他（宾格）。后文作者疑惑地问老园丁：“Me? But you don't know me,”（我？但你又不认识我。）由此可知，最后一个原因是因为作者。故选A。

【6】句意：我确实不认识你。

考查逻辑思维能力及词义辨析。A. easy容易的，B. true符合事实的，确实的，如实的； C. honest诚实的。后文说，“But I know flowers are beautiful angels. ”(但是我知道花儿是美丽的天使。)这是一个肯定的陈述句，且包含转折语气。由此可知，前文是否定意义，且强调：“我确实不认识你”。故选B。

【7】句意：人们会看着我的花园，美丽会让他们感觉很好。

考查逻辑思维能力及词义辨析。A. unfair不公平的，B. good好的，C. strange奇怪的。由全文的感情基调可知，“美丽（the beauty）会让他们感觉很好”。故选B。

【8】句意：同时我们也享受这些花儿带给我们的幸福。

考查逻辑思维能力及词义辨析。A. brought意为“带来”，bring的过去式/过去分词。B. taken意为“拿走、取走”，take的过去分词。C. carried意为“携带”，carry的过去式/过去分词。由上下文描述可知，“这些花儿（能够）带给我们幸福。”，即bring sb. sth.，而其余两项（take/carry）没有后接双宾语的用法。故选A。

【9】句意：老园丁种花是为了让每个人都能欣赏花儿的美丽。

考查逻辑思维能力及词义辨析。A. borrow借给，B. enjoy欣赏，C. lend借出。因题干的宾语是their beauty（它们的美丽），所以其动词应该是enjoy。二者结合，构成动宾短语，语义通顺、正确。故选B。

【10】句意：他们能看到老人内心的善良和灵魂的美丽。

考查逻辑思维能力及词义辨析。A. kindness善良，B. value价值，C. truth真相，事实。kindness与后文的beauty属同类词：褒义词，一个形容心地善良，一个形容灵魂之美，前后对称，而其他两个词均无此含义。故选A。
