【解析】

主旨大意：本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了住在南卡罗莱纳州的卢卡斯小姐种植靛蓝的过程，虽然经历过失败，但她没有放弃，后来她偷学了一位男士制作靛蓝的方法，最终南卡罗莱纳州的人们因为靛蓝植物而变得富有。
26. 句意：她父亲送她一些靛蓝植物的种子。根据上下句时态可知，此处应用一般过去时。故填sent。

27.句意：在二月份，她种了一些……。此处表示在二月份，用介词in。
28.句意：她在四月种了________种子。根据语境可知，她种植更多的种子。结合所给词汇可知many的比较级more符合语境。故填more。
29.句意：不幸的是，虫子吃了靛蓝植物。根据上句语境她种了很多种子可知此处有很多植物。需用可数名词复数。故填plants。
30.句意：这一次，植物长得非常好。grow为动词，需用副词修饰。故填well。
31.句意：她父亲知道这件事后，给她介绍了一位男士。介词后应跟人称代词宾格，故填her。
32.句意为：那位男士知道如何从植物中提取靛蓝。此处特指靛蓝。故填the。
33.句意：但是他不想让卡罗莱纳州的人知道如何做到这一点。want sb. to do sth. 想让某人做某事，为固定搭配。故填to。
34.句意：他________自己的人民不会从他们的靛蓝中得到这么多钱。分析句子结构可知此处缺少形容词与was构成系表结构。故填worried。
35.句意：……她终于明白了靛蓝是________制成的。由句子结构可知，空后句子为宾语从句，根据语境可知，此处表示方式，结合首字母提示可知填how。
