【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要围绕作者规划在自己的花园种些什么展开的描述。
1. 句意:我正考虑在我的花园里种点东西。consider的含义为“考虑”,I’m是I am的缩写,由空前的am可知,句子时态为现在进行时。consider的现在分词为considering。故填considering。
2. 句意:他建议我种百合花。advise的含义为“建议”,根据“I’ve had a talk with my father.”可知,建议的动作发生在过去,因此用一般过去时。故填advised。
3. 句意:我知道这些花需要一种既不太干也不太湿的土壤。由空后文“too wet”可知,此处表达的含义为“既不太干也不太湿的土壤”。neither...nor...表示“既不……也不……”,其含义是否定的,可连接任意两个并列的成份。故填nor。
4. 句意:但是在我的花园里挑水很困难。此处是固定句型,It’s+形容词+to do意为“做某事是……的”。故填to carry。
5. 句意:而且我也没有足够的时间来照顾它们。此处是固定词组,look after意为“照顾”。故填after。
6. 句意:我希望种些容易照料的花。easy的含义为“容易的”,其副词为easily,空处需用副词修饰动词。故填easily。
7. 句意:我觉得向日葵很适合我。I的含义为“我”,是主格,其宾格为me。介词for后面需用宾格me。故填me。
8. 句意:我既可以享受美丽,又可以吃美味健康的葵花籽。本题考查固定搭配both...and意为“不仅……而且……”,是连词。故填and。
9. 句意:我既可以享受美丽,又可以吃美味健康的葵花籽。health的含义为“健康”,为名词,其形容词为healthy意为“健康的”;由and前的delicious可知,此处需用形容词healthy,形容词修饰不定代词,形容词放在不定代词的后面。故填healthy。
10. 句意:真是个好主意!此处考查what引导的感叹句,结构是:What+a/an+形容词+单数可数名词+主语+谓语!空后idea为单数可数名词,且good是以辅音音素开头的单词,因此前面是不定冠词a。故填a。
