Question

The professor’s house big and untidy stood alone at one end of a huge garden. The place was totally uncared for quite __ 36 __ and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I __ 37 __ my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.

I was glad that I found him. In twenty minutes he put me right on all the __ 38 __ that had puzzled me. I was on the __ 39 __ of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said “You’re very fond of gardening I see”

“No I’m not ” he said. “__ 40__ I love this garden though. It’s __ 41__ I always wanted it to be. I never touch it __ 42__ all.”

“It could be made lovely. It seems a pity to let all this ground go to _ _43__. But perhaps you don’t _ 44__ that way?” said I.

“I don’t. I lived here when I was a child and I had   45   of gardening then. It was my father’s hobby you see. Unfortunately he wasn’t   46  _ enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade (叶片) of grass was an enemy to be _ _47__ out by hand not just cut off. I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.”

“I see. You took a dislike to it and now you’re getting even！”

“I dislike it. Then of course I didn’t understand the effect it had. It used to _ _48__ me. It appeared in my __ 49__ ——— a mistake here something not quite straight here the enemy showing its head in a place I was _ _50__ to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”

“And now it’s yours you’re just letting it go to ...”

“_ _51__ ?” he said. “No I don’t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like  _52__ it grow in its own way. I make no _ _53__ on it. I never disturb it and it never disturbs me. It has _ 54__ at last and so have I.”

“But the path is over grown. It’s _ _55__ for you isn’t it?”

“That’s part of my pleasure，” he laughed. “You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”

点评：
完形填空是一种既要求有正确的阅读理解能力，有要求有扎实的语法、词汇和文化知识积累，是一种全面考查考生全面语言运用能力的题型。因此考生要扎实自己的语言基础。本篇注意偏重于动词的使用，共有10处，和一些固定搭配。所以只有过硬的语言基础和细微的细节处理得当才能在完形填空中拿高分。
