【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事。主要讲述了四颗种子一起来到一片森林，他们都想长成参天大树。但是他们的周围住着一些猴子，总向那些成长的植物扔香蕉。这些植物要想生长就必须忍受疼痛。其中的一颗种子不畏疼痛，最后长成了参天大树，而其他三颗种子却一直躲藏在土里。
58．句意：他们乘风旅行，来到一片森林。根据“They ... by wind”和备选词汇可知，他们乘风旅行。travel“旅行”符合句意，且句子是一般过去时，用过去式。故填traveled/travelled。
59．句意：他们把自己藏在地里，希望自己能长成大树。根据“they would be able to grow into big ...”和备选词汇可知，种子希望长成大树。tree“树”符合句意，主语是复数，所以此处填复数名词。故填trees。
60．句意：但当第一颗种子开始生长时，她发现这并不是一件容易的事。根据but可知，前后句是转折关系，此处应是她发现很不容易。easy“容易”复合句意，形容词修饰名词job。故填easy。
61．句意：那里住着一群猴子，最小的猴子喜欢向任何开始生长的植物扔香蕉。throw sth at“向某物扔……”，固定搭配。故填at。
62．句意：当她告诉其他种子发生了什么时，他们认为最好等到猴子离开。“... happened”是宾语从句，此处是宾语从句引导词，what“什么”符合句意。故填what。
63．句意：他们都同意这一点，除了第一种子。根据前文“when the first seed began to grow”和后文“She thought she must try it.”可知，其他种子都认为等猴子离开，但是她（第一颗种子）想试试。one的序数词是first“第一”。故填first。
64．句意：其他的种子要求停下来，但她已经下定决心要变成一棵树。根据“The other seeds asked to stop”和“she had made up her mind to become a tree”可知，前后两句是转折关系，but“但是”表示转折，符合句意。故填but。
65．句意：香蕉留下的疤痕帮助她比其他种子长得更强壮。根据“grow ... than the other seeds”和备选词汇可知，长得比其他种子壮。且由than可知用比较级，strong的比较级是stronger。故填stronger。
66．句意：她长得很好，猴子不会轻易伤害她。根据“She grew so well that monkeys couldn’t ... her easily.”和备选词汇可知，长得好以至于猴子不会伤害她。hurt“伤害”符合句意，且情态动词couldn’t后加动词原形。故填hurt。
67．句意：其他的种子仍然藏在地里，希望猴子能很快离开。根据“The other seeds still hid ... in the ground”可知，其他的种子仍然藏在地里。此处是宾语，与主语是同一主体，用反身代词，other seeds对应的人称代词是they，they的反身代词是themselves。故填themselves。
68．What class are you in 69．What’s this 70．what day is it today 71．Can you spell it 72．You’re welcome.
【导语】本文是一则对话，对话主要是关于A和B俩人相互寒暄的内容。
