[2026 泰州市姜堰区期末]① Last weekend, my dad asked me to garden with him together in the backyard. I wasn't too excited about it, as I'd rather play video games indoors. But Dad insisted, so we gathered outside with seeds and gardening tools.
② We started by planting seeds. Dad handed me a packet of sunflower seeds and a small shovel. “Plant them about an inch deep,” he instructed. I followed along, feeling the soil between my fingers, and soon we had a row of seeds waiting to sprout(发芽).
③ Days passed, and nothing seemed to happen. I was about to lose hope, thinking the seeds were just a waste. But then, a gentle reminder came, “Be patient. Good things take time.” A week later, tiny green shoots came out of the soil. I was amazed and ran to show everyone.
④ As the sunflowers grew taller, Dad taught me how to take good care of them. “Just like these plants, you also need care and love to grow,” he said. I began to understand how my parents support and care for me as I grow up.
⑤ One stormy night, the tallest sunflower fell. I felt very upset. Coming from beside me, a comforting voice said, “Sometimes, even the strongest can fall. But remember, they can still bloom, just a bit lower to the ground.”
⑥ That day, I was encouraged to be patient and resilient(有韧性的). The sunflowers taught me that growth isn't always easy. Sometimes we need to bend and just be strong when facing every challenge.

【解析】
33. 细节理解题。定位原文第⑤段，划线句“just a bit lower to the ground”的前文提到向日葵倒下，结合语境“they can still bloom”可知，该句暗示向日葵仍会继续生长，仅生长位置更低。A选项符合；B选项“再也不开花”与原文“still bloom”矛盾；C选项“不再长高”、D选项“更容易照顾”均无依据，故选A。
34. 情感变化题。按文章顺序梳理作者情感：第①段“I wasn't too excited about it”→不感兴趣（Uninterested）；第③段“ I was about to lose hope”→绝望（Hopeless）；第③段“I was amazed”→惊讶（Amazed）；第④段“I began to understand...”→理解（Understanding）；第⑤段“I felt very upset”→难过（Sad）；第⑥段“I was encouraged...”→被鼓励（Encouraged），对应D选项，故选D。
35. 篇章结构题。第①段总起，交代“我”和父亲去后院种植向日葵；第②-⑤段分述种植过程、作者的情感变化及向日葵遇到的问题；第⑥段总结从经历中获得的道理，结构为“总—分—总”，即①/②③④⑤/⑥，故选A。
36. 主旨大意题。定位原文第⑥段，作者从向日葵的经历中学到“patience and resilient”（耐心与韧性），结合前文父亲提到的“需要关爱和照顾才能成长”，可知成长需要耐心和关爱，对应C选项；A选项“所有植物长得快”、B选项“园艺简单”、D选项“游戏比园艺有趣”均与原文不符，故选C。
