andaneedtocareforourplanet.(他们长大后也会感受到与土壤的联系和保护土壤的责任)承接前文，指出在种植过程中，孩子增强了与土壤的联系和保护土壤的责任，符合语境。故选G。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Lastyear,whensomefriendsofmineleftChina,Iwasaskedtoteachthestudentstheyleftbehind.Itwasa____21____experienceformesinceIhadneverbeenaprivateteacherbefore.Atfirst,IwasnotsurewhetherIwouldlikeitornotandIwas____22____toaccept.However,itturnedouttobeoneofthe____23____decisionsIhaveevermadesinceIarrivedinChina.Ithasgivenmeuniqueopportunitiestoattendsomeextremelyremarkable____24____andmeetmanyveryinterestingpeople.Hereisoneofthemost____25____momentsIhavehadwiththem.LessthanayearafterItookonthepart-timejobs,Ibecameso____26____withonefamilythatIwasinvitedtoattendabirthdaycelebrationforthefamily’sgrandmother.LittledidIrealizeitwouldevenincludea____27____performancebyatrainedPekingoperaprofessionalinthelivingroom.Onthe____28____night,Iarrivedtoteachmyclassasscheduled.Butonmyarrival,IwastoldthatIshouldsitdownand____29____.Icouldsensethattheywereexcitedfortheir____30____.AssoonasI____31____besidethegrandmother,aChinesefluteplayercameintothelivingroomandstartedplayingabeautifultune.ThenaPekingoperaactressentered.Shewasdressedinfullcostumeand____32____amazingmake-up.Sheperformedforaboutthirtyminutesandthenstoppedtogivethegrandmotherandmeafew____33____ontheoperastances.Bothofuscloselyfollowedherinstructions.Theperformancewasatotalsurprisetothegrandmotherandme.Alltheeveningwewerevery____34____.WhenIleftthefamilylateintheevening,Icouldnothelpaskingmyself,“WereIina____35____?Otherwise,howcouldPekingOperabeperformedinalivingroom?”21.A.sad
