解析

试题分析：
在一个花园里，蔬菜和树都使得花园很美。但是他们一度发生矛盾。书抱怨水都给菜喝光了，而蔬菜也抱怨树挡住了他们的阳光。结果园丁不在浇水。后来一个小南瓜长得很大使园丁又开始管理园子。这使得他们意识到相互帮助比敌对更好。从此他们一起努力，学会了和周围的一切和谐相处。
小题1:根据第一句话可知，蔬菜和树都使得花园很美。前面有the vegetables，所以这里填tree树。
小题2:前一句说蔬菜和树处的关系不好，所以这一句的意思是蔬菜不喜欢树。后面有the tree hated the vegetables.提示。所以这里填hated。
小题3:他们认为树没有给他们留足够的生存空间。所以这里填enough足够的。
小题4:树抱怨说水还没到深处，蔬菜就喝光所有的水。before连词，在……之前。
小题5:蔬菜决定把地面上的水都喝光以便让这棵树干枯。根据语境可知填water。
小题6:他们俩都没想到，园丁看到情况更糟时，会停止浇他的菜地。vegetable field菜地。
小题7:当园丁不浇水时，树和蔬菜都感到都很渴。形容词，thirsty（渴的）放在how后面。
小题8:似乎没有办法解决这个问题，但一个小南瓜意识到发生的问题，决定来解决它。前文是用过去式，这里也要保持一致。最后有realized提示。所以用realize（意识到）的过去式形式realized。
小题9:小南瓜尽最大的努力生长。终于，它长得很大了。Finally副词，终于
小题10:结合前文可知，他们意识到互相帮助比打仗更好。所以用fight（动词，打仗）。
