A garden that’s just right for you

Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 1 . But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.

● 2

Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料). 3 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.

●Recall(回忆)your childhood memories

Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. 4 —how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 5 then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.

A. Know why you garden

B. Find a good place for your own garden

C. It’s our experience of the garden that matters

D. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers

E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors andclose to plants

F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too

G. For each of those gardens, writer down the strongest memory you have

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】A

【3】E

【4】C

【5】G

【解析】

【文章大意】本文属于说明文，美丽的花园能给我们带来美好的视觉享受，文章中给出了两个自己建设花园的具体建议。

【1】根据前两句提出：你是否参观过那些让你感觉非常好的花园？你也可以自己打造一个属于你自己的花园。故F项“你也可以把你自己的花园搞得那么美好”符合上下文语境。

【2】根据本段前两句可知不同人对花园有不同的看法，再由倒数第二句“然而，有很多原因能够解释你为什么想做园艺”可知我们首先要搞清楚为什么要做园艺。故A项正确。

【3】本段前两句提出有些人认为花园只是一些花花草草，有些人关心少用水少用肥料。本句仍然在说明人们对园艺的不同看法。故E项“还有其他人只是喜欢在户外接触植物”与上下文一致，也是人们对于园艺的观点。

【4】根据前句“……那些都不重要”可知画线句强调的是在园艺中对我们来说真正重要的是什么。故C项“重要的是我们做园艺的经历”符合上下文语境。

【5】本部分建议回忆一下小时候所看到的那些花园，并把这些花园的优点写下来，然后制订计划并付诸行动。故G项符合上下文语境。
