【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了原先车站的角落都是垃圾，一个小女孩通过每天花十分钟的时间，把车站变成一个充满鲜花树木的花园。

1.

句意：车站里到处都是旧瓶子，旧自行车零件以及空的苏打罐。

old旧的；common普通的；cheap便宜的。根据前文“on the same dirty street corner”可知，车站所在那个街角很脏，后文“old bottles”提示那里的瓶子都是旧的。故选A。

2.

句意：在一个星期五，其中一个孩子看到街角的样子，决定做一些事情。

something某些事；anything任何事；nothing没有事。根据后文描写，周一她回收旧瓶子，周二回收罐子，所以她为车站做了一些事。故选A。

3.

句意：到了下周一，她带来一个袋子，把旧瓶子收集起来回收利用。

sent送；threw扔；brought带来。根据句意可知孩子用袋子装瓶子，所以是带来袋子。故选C。

4.

句意：周二，她和她的朋友花十分钟时间捡苏打罐子，把它们放进另一个袋子，方便回收。

picking up捡起；finding out发现；looking after照顾。因为苏打罐子都是在地上的，所以孩子是捡起它们。故选A。

5.

句意：拐角变干净了。

ugly丑陋；clean干净的；fresh新鲜的。因为小女孩和孩子们把车站的垃圾都捡干净了，所以这个角拐角变干净了。故选B。

6.

句意：这个拐角看起来好多了，但是仍然很丑。

so所以；even甚至；still仍然。根据上文“It was ugly (难看的)”可知，原先这个拐角很丑，根据横线前后单词“but”和“ugly”，可知虽然变得干净了，但是现在仍然还是丑的。故选C。

7.

句意：她种下种子，给它们浇水。

touched抚摸；planted种；chose选择。根据后文“浇水”，可知应该先种下种子。故选B。

8.

句意：同样的，她也给树浇水。

trees树；plants植物；flowers花。根据后文“pretty flowers and healthy trees.”可知，这个车站最后都是花和树，前文已经提过浇花，此处应该是给树浇水。故选A。

9.

句意：她一天只花了十分钟时间，但是那已经足够了。

so所以；but但是；though虽然。根据句意可知此处含有转折关系，十分钟时间虽然少，但是足够把垃圾堆变成花园。故选B。

10.

句意：几个月之后，这个车站变成了一个到处是花和树的花园。

with带有，具有，表示伴随；through通过；without没有。此处用with表示“伴随，”含有“带有漂亮鲜花和茂盛树木的花园”的含义。故选A。
