I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it   44    growing until we could find out what it was. Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the   45   plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. I decided to   46   the weeds around it.

Like the   56  , it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had   57   in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be   58   who and what we are, then the environment will begin to   59   us. We will find a way to go under or   60   any “rocks”in order to reach our goals． 41.    A. flowers          B. insects                 C. rocks                            D. vegetables 42.    A. color             B. water        C. fertilizer                D. shape 43.    A. weed             B. seed             C. rock                     D. plant 44.    A. stop              B. continue       C. improve                 D. escape 45.    A. weak             B. lonely            C. strange                  D. pretty 46.    A. remove         B. tend              C. watch                     D. collect 47.    A. wonderful      B. terrible          C. valuable                 D. unusual 48.    A. passed                B. started                 C. left                         D. died 49.    A. tree               B. table             C. rock                       D. wall 50.    A. air             B. top            C. sun                        D. house 51.    A. realized         B. doubted        C. regretted                      D. hoped 52.    A. place            B. way               C. course                   D. process 53.    A. fill in              B. put in            C. worry about           D. believe in 54.    A. forget           B. hate              C. aim                        D. wait 55.    A. ability            B. wish              C. plan                       D. idea 56.    A. yard              B. sunflower       C. home                            D. summer 57.    A. energy                 B. virtue            C. courage                  D. faith 58.    A. aware of       B. afraid of        C. proud of                 D. tired of 59.    A. support         B. affect            C. upset                            D. forgive 60.    A. into               B. around                 C. through                  D. from 答案：41.    C. 从下一句话可知院子里有很多石头。 42.    A. 种一些花朵为了给院子增添一些色彩。 43.    D. 后文提到那是一株向日葵，所以是一种植物。 44.    B. 从后文until we could find out what it was 可知作者想让它继续生长。 45.    C. 到目前为止作者还不知道它究竟是一种什么植物，所以选择C。 46.    A. 从下文的As I pulled…the weeds。可知作者要除草。 47.    D. 从下文可知，向日葵并没有生长在我最开始发现它的位置。这件事是不寻常的。 48.    B. 同上，start表示开始生长。 A. have the ability to do sth. 表示有能力做某事。下文“it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks…”有提示。 49.    B. 就像这株向日葵一样，与前文相呼应。 50.    D. 与前文提到的believe in 相呼应。 51.    C. 像向日葵一样挺拔，为自己而感到自豪。 52.    A. 周围的环境和事物也会开始对我们有所帮助。 53.    B. 与50空前内容相呼应。
