22、是一篇記敘文。老師給學生向日葵種子讓學生去種，希望他們能收獲更多的瓜子，可是有個學生開始很耐心，后來變得不耐煩，最終沒能收獲向日葵種子。1pupils考查名詞復數。根據下文的them可知，此處的學生不止一個，pupil要用復數形式，故填pupils。2who考查關系代詞。這是個非限制性定語從句，先行詞是boy，指人，關系詞在從句中作主語，故填who。3with考查介詞。分析句式結構可知，此處的“great care for many days”是作伴隨狀語，要用介詞短語作狀語，with名詞短語構成的介詞短語可以作狀語，故填with。4filled考查過去分詞。分析句式結構，when引導的時間狀

23、語從句中的主句和從句均有謂語動詞，設空處所給提示詞要用其非謂語形式，fill常常用其過去分詞短語作狀語，filled with充滿，故填filled。5was考查主謂一致。句意：老師說他還需要照料向日葵很長時間才能夠收集很多的種子。根據主語he可知用單數形式，故填was。6disappointed考查形容詞。設空處位于be動詞后，常用形容詞作表語，disappoint常常用其分詞形式充當形容詞，現在分詞修飾物，過去分詞修飾人，此句的主語是boy，故填disappointed。7looking考查固定用法。“keep doing sth.”是固定用法，意思是“繼續做某事”，故填looking。8be eaten考查語態。本句的主語seeds與謂語eat之間是被動關系，設空前是情態動詞，其后用動詞的被動形式，故填be eaten。9the考查冠詞。單數名詞前，常常需要冠詞修飾，sunflower在上文中提到，需用定冠詞，故填the。10angrier考查形容詞比較級。上文中提到男孩非常懊惱，看到其他學生的向日葵長得那么大，他感到更生氣了，此處要用形容詞的比較級，故填angrier。.書面表達父親節快要到了，Readers Digest雜志社在為父親節的特刊征稿，征集寫給父親的感謝信。請你以李華的名義按要求寫封感謝信投稿。要求：1寫作詞
