【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了志愿者在罗得岛的What Cheer Flwer Farm上种植鲜花，免费赠送给有需要的人的爱心故事。
【36题详解】
考查动词。句意：最棒的是，What Cheer种植和交付的数万朵花中的每一朵都是完全免费的。此处需要填入动词，它和grws是并列的，需要的词义为“交付”，即deliver，使用第三人称单数形式，故填delivers。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：What Cheer由两位园丁创立，他们经常从自己的花园赠送鲜花，并希望这个想法能够发展壮大。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导限制性定语从句，gardeners是先行词，指人，从句缺主语，因此使用wh或者that引导定语从句，故填wh或that。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：What Cheer经常为当地的医院带去快乐，祝愿他们早日康复。使用副词作状语修饰动词brings，意为“经常”，故填regularly。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：What Cheer经常为当地的医院带去快乐，祝愿他们早日康复。此处使用recver的名词作宾语，需要的词义为“康复”，即recvery，故填recvery。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：农场的史蒂芬·霍根说：“看到那些意想不到的人脸上满足的微笑真是太棒了”。此处使用satisfy的形容词作定语修饰smiles，需要的词义为“满意的”，即satisfied，故填satisfied。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：What Cheer的花坛位于一个工业区，那里曾经有一家刀具厂。根据nce可知，谓语动词huse使用过去式，意为“容纳，提供住处”，故填hused。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：今年五月，这个非营利组织因其持续努力使曾经受污染的土地重新焕发生机而获得了来自环境保护局的一笔50万美元的奖金。prize在句子中为可数名词，500, 000 以辅音音素开头，因此前面使用不定冠词a，a $500, 000 prize表示“一笔50万美元的奖金”，故填a。
【43题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：今年五月，这个非营利组织因其持续努力使曾经受污染的土地重新焕发生机而获得了来自环境保护局的一笔50万美元的奖金。固定短语effrts t d：做某事的努力，故填t bring。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：Achen说：“我们不仅将这片土地归还给了社区，还成为了一个环保友好的地方，有助于帮助当地的昆虫和鸟类种群，这将只会让人们的生活变得更好”。ppulatin在句子中是可数名词，表示“个体数目”，在句子中为泛指意义，需要变复数，故填ppulatins。
【45题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：What cheer确实可以给人们带来欢乐！固定短语cheer up：使某人感到高兴，符合语境，故填up。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了志愿者在罗得岛的What Cheer Flwer Farm上种植鲜花，免费赠送给有需要的人的爱心故事。
【36题详解】
考查动词。句意：最棒的是，What Cheer种植和交付的数万朵花中的每一朵都是完全免费的。此处需要填入动词，它和grws是并列的，需要的词义为“交付”，即deliver，使用第三人称单数形式，故填delivers。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：What Cheer由两位园丁创立，他们经常从自己的花园赠送鲜花，并希望这个想法能够发展壮大。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导限制性定语从句，gardeners是先行词，指人，从句缺主语，因此使用wh或者that引导定语从句，故填wh或that。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：What Cheer经常为当地的医院带去快乐，祝愿他们早日康复。使用副词作状语修饰动词brings，意为“经常”，故填regularly。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：What Cheer经常为当地的医院带去快乐，祝愿他们早日康复。此处使用recver的名词作宾语，需要的词义为“康复”，即recvery，故填recvery。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：农场的史蒂芬·霍根说：“看到那些意想不到的人脸上满足的微笑真是太棒了”。此处使用satisfy的形容词作定语修饰smiles，需要的词义为“满意的”，即satisfied，故填satisfied。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：What Cheer的花坛位于一个工业区，那里曾经有一家刀具厂。根据nce可知，谓语动词huse使用过去式，意为“容纳，提供住处”，故填hused。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：今年五月，这个非营利组织因其持续努力使曾经受污染的土地重新焕发生机而获得了来自环境保护局的一笔50万美元的奖金。prize在句子中为可数名词，500, 000 以辅音音素开头，因此前面使用不定冠词a，a $500, 000 prize表示“一笔50万美元的奖金”，故填a。
【43题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：今年五月，这个非营利组织因其持续努力使曾经受污染的土地重新焕发生机而获得了来自环境保护局的一笔50万美元的奖金。固定短语effrts t d：做某事的努力，故填t bring。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：Achen说：“我们不仅将这片土地归还给了社区，还成为了一个环保友好的地方，有助于帮助当地的昆虫和鸟类种群，这将只会让人们的生活变得更好”。ppulatin在句子中是可数名词，表示“个体数目”，在句子中为泛指意义，需要变复数，故填ppulatins。
【45题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：What cheer确实可以给人们带来欢乐！固定短语cheer up：使某人感到高兴，符合语境，故填up。
