I love having beautiful flowersbut I don39。t have a good track record when it es to making them grow.”我不是個(gè)好園丁，我喜歡漂亮的花，但我在種植方面沒(méi)有良好的記錄，可知，作者雖然喜歡花，但不擅長(zhǎng)種花。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“It was a long winter — cold and dark …Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I39。d planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.”那是一個(gè)漫長(zhǎng)的冬天——又冷又黑……枯葉、霜和最后那場(chǎng)雪覆蓋了我種那些花的地方，我很快救忘記了它們的存在，可知，冬天很冷、很長(zhǎng)，故推測(cè)作者忘記它們是因?yàn)橛X(jué)得它們熬不過(guò)這個(gè)冬天，即沒(méi)對(duì)它們抱有希望。故選D。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Day after day I noted the flowers39。 progress.
