【解析】

短文讲述的是一个盲人老园艺者，在花园里种了很多好看的花，他虽然瞎了但是可以闻到花香，也可以让过路的人感到快乐。

1.句意：他很爱惜他的鲜花,他的花园总是五颜六色的。

考查动词，观察句子这里缺少了一个谓语动词，再联系后一句他的花园总是五颜六色，说明他把他的花照顾的很好，固定短语“take good care of 照顾得好”全文是用的过去式，故答案为took。

2.句意：当他看到这些漂亮的花时，简直不敢相信他的眼睛。

考查名词，观察句子，这里形容词后面要接一个名词，再联系上下文，这个小男孩路过花园应该看到了老人花园里的花，故答案为flowers。

3.句意：令他吃惊的是，他发现这个老园丁是瞎的。

考查固定短语，观察句子，“他的惊讶”，这里应该是令他吃惊的是，“to his surprise”为固定短语，故答案为to

4.句意：令他吃惊的是，他发现这个老园丁是瞎的。

考查形容词，根据后文小男孩说你不能看到这些花，为什么还能照顾花园，可知这个老人应该是瞎的，故答案为blind。

5.句意：你不能看到这些花，为什么还能照顾花园呢？

考查疑问词，根据后文I can tell you the reasons.我能告诉你原因。说明上一句问照顾花园应该是问为什么还能照顾花园，故答案为Why。

6.句意：尽管我不能看到这些花，但是我能闻到他们的甜蜜。

考查连接词，分析前后两句，我不能看见这些花，我能闻到他们的甜蜜，两者之间有个转折关系，故答案为although。

7.句意：最后一点，那是因为你。

考查宾格，根据后文“me?”我？但是你不认识我呀。可推测出最后一个原因，是因为那个男孩。故答案为you。

8.句意：给予比接受好得多。

考查比较级，分析句子，这里应该是给予比接受好的多。运用了比较级，应该是“比较级+than”，这里刚好缺少一个than，故答案为than。
