nsupportsuchsimplegrowingmethods.“I’llneverlookatcardboardboxesthesameagain,”hesaid.“They’reagreatfreeresource,especiallyforthosewhofrequentlyreceiveshipments.”(它们能够支持这样简单的种植方法。“我再也不会用同样的眼光看纸箱了，”他说，“它们是一种很好的免费资源，尤其是对于那些经常收到货品的人来说。”)”引用了园丁的话，强调了纸箱作为免费资源的实用性，并特别提到对“thosewhofrequentlyreceiveshipments”的好处。G选项“Thegardeneremphasizedthatmanypeoplehavesmalloutdoorareas.(这位园丁强调许多人只有很小的户外区域)”位于段首，引出了园丁的观点，点明了一个普遍现象（户外空间小）。下文引用的园丁话语，正是针对“空间小”这一普遍问题而提出的具体解决方案（利用免费纸箱）及其感慨。G选项与下文构成了“提出问题（空间小）-引出解决方案和评价（纸箱很好）”的逻辑关系。故选G项。【20题详析】上文“Theexperimentinspiredmanyviewerstotrysimilarmethods,withpeoplereportingsuccessgrowingpotatoesandothervegetablesincardboardboxes,laundrybaskets,andbuckets—eveninsmallapartmentswithlimitedspace.(这个实验激发了许多观众尝试类似的方法，人们报告了在纸箱、洗衣篮和水桶中成功种植土豆和其他蔬菜的经历——即使是在空间有限的小公寓里)”说明了该实验带来的广泛影响和成功实践。E选项“Nexttimeyouhaveanunusedshippingbox,trymakingitaplanter.(下次你有一个不用的快递箱时，试试把它做成一个花盆吧)”顺承上文，基于上文众多成功案例的启发，向读者直接发出行动号召和建议，鼓励读者进行尝试。这与文章结尾的总结“Gardeningdoesn’trequireexpensivesupplies—justcreativityandawillingnesstoexperiment.(园艺不需要昂贵的用品——只需要创造力和实验的意愿)”在精神上完全一致，E选项是这一主旨的具体体现和呼吁。故选E项。第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Asawaitress,I’vehadmyfairshareoftoughdays.Longhoursonmyfeet,demandingcustomers,andtheconstanthustle(忙碌)canreally____21____youdown.Buteverythingchangedwhenaquietcouple____22____inandsatinmysection.Theylookedexhausted,especiallythewoman,witheyesthatheldadeep____23____.Itriedtogivethemextracare:refillingtheirdrinksintime,describingthe____24____warmly,andleavingspacefortheirquietconversation.Theyateslowly,____25____speaking,andIwonderedifI’ddoneenoughtomaketheireveningpleasant.Aftertheyfinishedtheirmealandleft,Ifoundanotethey’d____26____.Itread,“Thankyouforyourwonderful____27____.Our24-year-olddaughterpassedawayaboutfiveweeksago,andtodaywasthefirstdayIcouldgetmywifeoutforareal____28____.Youmadehersmile,andyou’llneverknowwhatthat____29____tous.”Readingthosewords,Iwascompletelyoverwhelmedwith____30____.Itwassuchaheartfeltandunexpectedgestureofkindness.Inallmytimeworkingincustomerservice,I’dnever____31____anythingquitelikeit.TearsstreameddownmyfaceasIrealizedthetrueimpactofmywork.Thoselong,difficult____32____suddenlyfeltworthwhile.Thiswasn’tjustaboutservingfood;itwasaboutprovidingcomfort,andcreatingmomentsofnormalcy(常态)duringlife’s____33____times.ThisexperiencechangedhowIapproacheverycustomerinteraction.Behindevery____34____isastory,andsometimes,weserversareluckytobepartof____35____inthosestories,onemealatatime.21.A.take
