【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了装饰花园的具体建议。

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】A

【3】E

【4】C

【5】G

【解析】

【1】根据前两句提出：你是否参观过那些让你非常好的花园？你也可以自己弄一个属于你自己的花园，故F 符合上下文串联。

【2】根据前两段可知不同的园艺有不同的原因，再倒数第二句“然而有很多原因解释了你为何要做园艺”可知我们首先明白为何做园艺，故A 符合逻辑。

【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废料。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”可知划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“重要的是我们搞园艺的经历”符合上下文串联。

【5】本部分介绍自己搞一个花园，要回忆一下年轻的时候所看到的那些花园，并把这些花园的优点写下来，然后制定计划并把自己的计划变成美丽的花园。故G项与上下文一致。
