【答案精析】
1．D 由空格前句“Their big faces almost seem to be smiling at you on a summer day as they slowly turn toward the sun.”可知向日葵能使人开心。七个选项中只有D项含有此意。故选D。
2．A 由空格前句“They also provide food for bees, birds and squirrels(松鼠) and many other small animals that love to eat the seeds(种子)．”可知一些小动物喜欢吃葵花籽。再由空格后“People love them, too.”确定A项“葵花籽不仅仅对动物来说是美味”是正确答案。
3．E 空格前句说到了有数百种不同的向日葵，后句又提到了“They grow to over 10 feet tall and produce big round heads with bright yellow petals(花瓣) that are over a foot across.”，再结合所给选项可知此空是指最大的向日葵。故选E。
4．G 前两句说到花瓣和茎，接下去应该介绍种子了。故选G。
5．B 由下句“People there love sunflowers so much, so they named their place ‘Sunflower'.”可知Sunflower也是个地名。故选B。
