There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad-looking.It was growing by itself，enjoying every day and saying to the sun，“When shall I grow up？”And the sun would say，“Be patient.Each time I touch you，you grow a little.” She was so pleased，because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand.

17

One day a hunter came by and stepped on her.She was going to die and felt so sad.Not because she was dying but she would never have the chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.

The sun saw this，then reached down，touched her and gave her a second life. At last she grew up to be a beautiful flower and with her here this corner of the desert became so beautiful.

21．D [ the Smith family作主语，强调整体，所以谓语动词用单数，there be句型适用于就近原则，所以用复数。]

22．B [此题考查的是分词作状语，分词的逻辑主语是句子的主语the manager，主语是人，所以用过去分词。]

29．B [此题考查的是主谓一致，not only...but also...遵循就近原则，所以此题选择B选项。]

30．A [句意为：如果世界的人口像这样继续增加，将会只有站立的地方。所以此题选择A选项，取其“继续”之意。]

31．B [根据题意可知，他现在还没有决定是否改换工作，所以“考虑改变工作”应该发生在过去，并且持续到了现在，有可能延续到将来，所以此题应该选择现在完成进行时态。]

32．A [此题考查主谓一致。more than one后跟单数名词作主语，后面谓语动词用单数。serve为及物动词。]

33．C [句意为：这些病人被观察了几个月。observe观察(某一行为或现象)；watch观看，注意，留心看(活动、娱乐节目、事件等)；notice(无意识地)注意到；stare at凝视，盯住。]
