语篇解读:有位女孩非常喜欢花,有一天她把一株非常漂亮的花种植到自己的院子里。她细心照料,却只见绿叶不见花。偶然一天,却发现在墙的另一侧开满了漂亮的花朵。
1.the 句意:她由祖母养大,祖母教会她热爱和照顾花儿,因此,她的花园是镇上最好的。根据本空后的best可知,此处为形容词的最高级,故填定冠词the。
2.ordered 句意:有一天,在浏览之前经常订购的鲜花订购单的时候,一株植物的图片吸引了她的注意。根据时间状语One day可知,此处讲述的是发生在过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故填ordered。
3.prepared 句意:当它到达时,她已经准备好一个地方来种这种花。此处为"get+宾语+宾补"结构,prepare与a place之间为被动关系,故用过去分词作宾补。故填prepared。
