If you are looking for houseplants that do not take up a lot of space and are easy to grow, air plants might be the right choice. Instead of soil, these plants attach(缠绕) themselves to things like trees, rocks and buildings. 16 Jessica Damiano, a gardening writer, has experience in growing air plants and offers the following guidelines for people who want to grow them.
Sunlight
Air plants require bright, indirect light. So, they should be placed near an east-or west-facing window, but not directly in front of it. 17
Watering
In homes with average humidity(湿度) levels, put air plants in room-temperature water once a week for 30 to 60 minutes. 18 After that, lightly shake the branches(枝干) of the plants. This step is necessary to prevent water from collecting on the leaves, which can be harmful to the plants.
Feeding
19 It should be added to the water to achieve better results. Use about half the amount suggested by the fertilizer(肥料) makers.
Life cycle
Air plants bloom(开花) only once. The pink, purple or white flowers are a signal that the plants are nearing death. 20 These can be separated into new plants once they grow to about one-third the size of the parent.
A. Direct sunlight can burn the plant's leaves.
B. Make sure you are fully meeting all the plant's needs.
C. They do not cause problems for the objects they grow on.
D. However, air plants produce new branches, known as "kids".
E. Air plants can be fed with any all-purpose houseplant fertilizer.
F. In homes with drier air, this process can be repeated when needed.
16. 17. 18. 19. 20.

答案： 16 C [解析]根据上文“Instead of soil，these plants attach（缠绕） themselves to things like trees，rocks and buildings.”可知，此处谈论的是空气植物依附在其他物体上生长。C项(它们不会给它们附着的物体带来麻烦)承接上文，符合此处语境。故选C。
17 A [解析]根据上文“So，they should be placed near an east-or west-facing window，but not directly in front of it.”可知，此处说的是空气植物应放置在朝东或朝西方向的窗户附近，但是要避免阳光直射。A项(阳光直射会灼伤植物的叶子)解释了避免直接把空气植物放在窗前的原因，符合此处语境。故选A。
18 F [解析]根据上文“In homes with average humidity(湿度) levels，put air plants in room-temperature water once a week for 30 to 60 minutes.”可知，本段谈论在不同湿度的房间中应如何给空气植物浇水。F项(在空气干燥的家庭中，这个过程可以在需要时重复)符合此处语境。故选F。
19 E [解析]根据“Feeding”可知，本段介绍的是给空气植物施肥的方法。E项(空气植物可以用任何通用的室内植物肥料来施肥)与本段小标题的内容相呼应，且与下文“It should be added to the water to achieve better results.”衔接合理，符合此处语境。故选E。
20 D [解析]根据下文“These can be separated into new plants once they grow to about one-third the size of the parent.”可知，一旦这些长到母本植株的约三分之一大小，就可以分离成新的植株。D项(然而，空气植物产生新的分支，被称为“后代”)引出下文，符合此处语境。故选D。
