解析:
我们结合七年级的词汇、语法和固定搭配知识点逐空分析:
1. 空前有be动词are,说明后面的可数名词story要使用复数形式,填stories。
2. 固定搭配for example意为“例如”,用于举例,句首首字母大写,填For。
3. 空前有be动词was和副词very,后面需要接形容词作表语,worry的形容词形式worried表示“担忧的”,用来描述人的状态,填worried。
4. 空后是名词rice crops,需要用形容词性物主代词修饰名词,he对应的形容词性物主代词是his,意为“他的”,填his。
5. 结构as...as意为“和……一样”,中间要使用形容词/副词原级,此处修饰动词grow,要用副词形式,quick的副词是quickly,填quickly。
6. 此处表示“一个主意”,idea是可数名词单数,且以元音音素开头,要用不定冠词an,填an。
7. 介词after后面接动词时,动词要变为动名词形式,do的动名词是doing,填doing。
8. 整个故事讲述的是过去发生的事,并列的谓语动词went是过去式,hear也要使用过去式heard,填heard。
9. 此处指所有庄稼的叶子,要用可数名词leaf的复数形式leaves,填leaves。
10. 固定搭配learn from意为“从……中学到”,符合语境,填from。
