【解析】本文主要介绍了几年前,我曾有一段时间患了严重的抑郁症,生活于我几近无可眷恋之时,看到雪莲花从冰冷坚硬的泥土里钻出来,历尽寒冬,用独特的方式给我带来了希望。后来我在管理花园的过程中,学会了忍耐和满怀希望。从中我懂得了一个道理：我们会经受考验,会跌倒受伤,但希望是不灭的。

【1】sometimes

句意为：就像是永久的严冬,如此刺骨寒冷以至于我有时甚至认为连阳光也无法照耀。分析句意及所给备选词可知,此处应选sometimes,表示“有时”。故填 sometimes。

【2】until

句意为：我每天看着它们, 直到（有一天）我想：如果它们可以挺过这个寒冬,那我也可以。分析句意及所给备选词可知应选until,表示“直到……时”。故填until。

【3】me

句意为：这些绿色的嫩芽,在某种程度上给我带来了希望，那是其他任何事物无法给予的。分析上下文及所给备选词可知,嫩芽给“我”以希望,应选I,这里作gave的宾语,故用宾格形式。故填me。

【4】were planted

句意为：当春天来临，各种各样的花被种。根据句意可知是种花，结合备选词可知应选plant,根据主语flowers与plant之间存在逻辑上的被动关系，应用被动语态。由came和was可知应用一般过去时的被动语态，故填were planted。

【5】peaceful

句意为：生命通过我的双手不断成长,迸发着柔和、和平, 尤其是乐观向上的、充满希望的（气息）。分析上下文,此处应选一个形容词,结合所给词汇可知应选peace ,此处应填形容词形式peaceful。故填peaceful。

【6】has affected

句意为：我患有的抑郁症是遗传性的,已经影响我家里好几代人……分析上下文可知这种病是家族遗传的,根据所给的语境,应该是它已影响了“我”家里好几代人,应选affect,根据句意可推断出需要用现在完成时,主语为it ,故填has affected。

【7】to reduce

句意为：当然,我可以享受呼吸新鲜空气和吃美食来减少抑郁的症状。分析句意及所给备选词可知应为：呼吸新鲜空气和吃美食能够减轻抑郁的症状。此处应该是用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to reduce。

【8】more useful

句意为：但对我来说,园艺比那更有用。分析句意及所给备选词可知应选useful,根据空后的连词than可知应使用形容词的比较级。故填more useful。

【9】planted

句意为：在花园里，我种了一棵树，宏伟而壮丽。分析句意及所给备选词可知应选plant。文章主要描述的是过去发生的事，应使用一般过去时,故填planted。

【10】leaves

句意为：树叶纷飞,直到只剩下光秃秃的树枝, 但它总是可以恢复生机。分析句意及所给备选词可知应选leaf,叶子是可数名词,应用其复数形式。故填leaves。
