Expose it to reasonable sun, shade, and temperaturesAll plants need sunshine (remember photosynthesis（光合作用）, just varying levels of it. Succulents are flexible, but they wont

12、 do well in darkness or in sweltering direct sun. Moving the succulent in and out of reasonable levels of sunlight will help it thrive.3. Dont over-water.As a rookie like me, a person lacking in experience, this was definitely one of my mistakes-too much TLC (Tender Love Caring). The problem is, no

13、one can really tell you how often to water your succulent; you have to monitor it yourself. Depending on your climate, the soil will dry out at varying speeds. Water only when the soil has completely dried from the previous watering. Succulents wont quickly die for lack of water, but they do need it

14、. Allowing the water to drain completely through the soil is the best way to avoid root rot. Otherwise, a misting bottle can be helpful to regulate water quantities.4. “Plant food” is not a joke.I used to think that “plant food” was just a marketing ploy（营销手段）. Its not. Since these plants arent grow

15、ing in their natural habitats, they cant absorb the nutrients (e. g, calcium) that they naturally need.

17、ally repotting them might mean re-creating a pretty arrangement, but it will help the plants live longer.Unless the dirt is already damp, give the succulents some water before repotting. The new potting soil will be pretty dry, so the extra water will spread out.Best of lucky, everyone! May you have

21、oped本文是一篇说明文，作者所养的多肉经常死掉，因此向专家请教养殖技术，文章中介绍了六条养殖多肉植物的有效建议。【70题详解】考查句意理解。根据文章前两段可知我种植的多肉经常死掉，对我来说种植多肉就像是火箭科学一样，实际上种植多肉并不是那么难，但是我却经常把它们养死。本句使用动名词growing/planting succulents在句中做主语。所以要填Growing/Planting。【71题详解】考查同义句转换。根据第一段最后一句I am always killing succulents.可知我经常会把多肉植物养死，所以本句使用短语tend to do sth倾向于做某事；表示我经常

22、会这样做。使用要填tend。【72题详解】考查归纳总结。根据串联句“HOW TO AVOID KILLING YOUR SUCCULENTS”可知下文6点都是作者提出的避免多肉植物死掉的具体方法，所以要填Approaches/Keys。【73题详解】考查句意转换。根据第三条建议倒数第二句Allowing the water to drain completely through the soil is the best way to avoid root rot.让水从土壤里排出去是避免根部烂掉的最好方法。本句要填drain，表示要把多余的水排出去。所以要填drain。【74题详解】考查句意转

23、换。根据第二条建议Expose it to reasonable sun, shade, and temperatures可知作者建议我们让多肉植物接触适量的阳光，使用分词exposed在句中做状语。所以要填Exposed。【75题详解】考查同义转换。根据第三条建议第一句As a rookie like me, a person lacking in experience可知Rookie指缺少经验的人。所以本句使用形容词inexperienced。所以要填inexperienced。【76题详解】考查同义转换。根据第四条建议可知植物的肥料并不是玩笑，植物的确需要肥料。根据本段最后两句Cactu

24、s/succulent food is cheap and will last a long time; you only need one drop for every gallon of water.可知多肉植物的肥料很便宜，而且使用量很小，所以要填quantities。【77题详解】考查同义转换。根据建议5 Give them air circulation可知要让空气循环，多肉需要新鲜空气。小题8是一个由that引导的主语从句，主语air的后面要接谓语动词，所以要填circulates。【78题详解】考查词性转换。根据倒数第二段最后一句Occasionally repotting th

25、em might mean re-creating a pretty arrangement, but it will help the plants live longer.可知移植多肉可以帮助它生长得更好。表格里需要使用动名词做主语，所以要填Room/Repotting。【79题详解】归纳总结。如果多肉被种植得很好，我们的窗台就会被装饰得非常漂亮。句中介词with的宾语succulents与动词grow/develop构成被动关系，使用过去分词做宾语补足语。所以要填grown/developed。三、 阅读理解17.
