1.1.
A ugly
B lazy
C strong
D
解析：选A。在原文中，玫瑰对仙人掌说：“I’m the most beautiful flower here，but you are full of thorns and so ugly!”，意思是“我是这里最漂亮的花，但你全是刺，好丑！”因此，正确答案是A，即“ugly”（丑陋的）。
2.2.
A sometimes
B always
C never
D
解析：选C。在文中提到，尽管玫瑰对仙人掌不友好，但仙人掌从未感到伤心或生气，每次都平静地回答：“每个生命都有它存在的意义。”因此，正确答案是C，即“never”，表示“从不”。
3.3.
A dry
B wet
C dirty
D
解析：选A。下文提到“The rose lost a lot of water and became weaker and weaker”，说明天气很干燥，导致玫瑰失去了很多水分。因此，正确答案为A，即“dry”。
4.4.
A discovering
B storing
C wasting
D
解析：选B。在句子中提到“他有良好的根系系统，并且擅长在他的身体里储存水”，所以应该选择“storing”这个动词，表示储存水。而“discovering”表示发现，“wasting”表示浪费，都与句意不符。
5.5.
A hole
B meal
C house
D
解析：选A。在文中提到，一只鸟在仙人掌里啄了一个小洞，因此应该选择A选项“hole”（洞）。其他选项与文意不符，B选项“meal”表示餐饭，C选项“house”表示房子。
6.6.
A shy
B thirsty
C angry
D
解析：选B。在文章中提到，玫瑰非常口渴，所以她向仙人掌要水。因此，她感到非常口渴，选项B“thirsty”是正确的。选项A“shy”表示害羞，与文章不符；选项C“angry”表示生气，也与文章不符。
7.7.
A kept
B began
C stopped
D
解析：选C。文章中提到“From then on，she stopped judging others by their looks.”，意思是从那以后，她停止了以貌取人。因此，正确答案是C，即stopped（停止）。选项A的kept表示保持，与文章意思不符；选项B的began表示开始，也不符合文章语境。
