Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。
In a small house outside London lives an old man. People often see him look his flowers in his garden all the time.
One day, a young painter (go) by the old man's house. He looked at the nice garden and the special room, picturing how happy he would be if he lived in such a (beauty) place. Suddenly he found the old gardener (terrible) blind. Shocked, he walked to the old man and asked, “Why are you taking care of the flowers every day which you can't see in fact?” The old man smiled, “I can tell you four reasons. First, I was gardener when I was young and I really love this job. Second, although I can't see these flowers, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them. As to the last, it's you.”
“Me? But you don't know me.” answered the painter, still puzzled.
“Yeah, it's true that I don't know you. I know flowers are gifts which everyone loves. And the beauty of my garden will get many people into a good mood.” answered the old man.
The words of the gardener warm me with (please). He looked after the flowers (make) others enjoy the warm sunshine in spring. He can't see the beautiful flowers he planted, just like Beethoven, who can't hear his wonderful music .
The old man is alone but not lonely. All of his flowers are his friends and neighbors. They (grow) in his heart. I believe that he can hear the voice of them.

Answer 1

【答案】after；went；beautiful；terribly；a；But；pleasure；to make；either；are grown
【解析】短文大意：伦敦城外的一座小房子里住着一位老人，人们常看见他一直在他的花园里照顾他的花。一天，一位年轻的画家路过老人的房子，惊讶地发现老人竟然是个盲人！画家问老人为什么看不见花却一直在照顾花，老人的回答深深地感动了年轻的画家。

（1）句意是：人们经常看见他一直在花园里照顾他的花。根据句意可知填 after，look after 是固定短片，意为“照顾，照料”。
（2）one day 常用来讲述过去的事情，动词用过去式，故填 went，句意是：一天，一个年轻的画家从老人的房子旁边经过。
（3）beauty 是名词，意为“美景，美人”，此处需要用形容词来修饰名词 place，故填 beautiful，such a beautiful place 意为“如此漂亮的一个地方”。
（4）blind 是形容词，需要用副词来修饰形容词，故填 terribly。句意是：突然他发现这个老园丁眼睛完全看不见了。
（5）句意是：首先我小时候就是一个园丁，而且我喜欢这份工作。根据句意可知填不定冠词 a ，表示数量“一”。
（6）句意是：是的，我的确不认识你，但是我知道花是每一个人都喜欢的礼物，我花园里的美景会给很多人带来好心情。根据句意可知表示转折的意思，故填 But。
（7）with 是介词，后面需要跟名词，please的名词形式是 pleasure，表示“高兴，开心”，故填 pleasure。
（8）根据句意“他照顾这些花是为了让其他人享受春天温暖的阳光”可知用动词不定式做目的状语，故填 to make。
（9）根据上下文可知这句话的意思是“他看不见他种的漂亮的花，就像贝多芬也听不见音乐一样”可知否定句末用 either 表示“也”。
（10）They 指的是 the flowers，花应该是被种植，故用被动语态，填 are grown。句意是：这个老人一个人住，但是他不孤独，所有的花都是他的朋友和邻居，他们被种植在他的心里。
