Lucy looked at the shapes of leaves as she walked in the woods. She kept a record of what she saw. She also learnt to draw what she saw. Then she could compare all kinds of plants. Later，Lucy grew more and more interested in botany(植物学)，the study of plants.
Branching Out At university，Lucy took classes in geology，or the study of rocks and minerals. Her work with geologists changed how she looked at the natural world. She continued her studies in botany as well. Lucy also took classes in ecology(生态学). Lucy believed that plant life in some areas was able to move to other places over time.
In Full Bloom(盛放) In 1917，Lucy began to teach botany at a university. She lived in a house near the woods. Lucy collected plants from all around the country. She took many photos of them too. Colour photography was still new then. Because of that，people enjoyed her lessons and photos a lot.

【分析】
33题：需理解划线句的拟人手法，“seemed to shout”是拟人化表达，结合“wild colours”（鲜艳的色彩），可知是表现植物充满生机。逐一分析选项：A符合语境；B是字面误解，植物不会真的说话；C“生气”无原文依据；D“被Lucy照顾”原文未提及，故选A。
34题：第三段主要讲述Lucy在大学期间学习地质、植物学、生态学，收集植物、拍摄照片等研究植物的具体做法，对应选项B；A是第一段内容，C是第一段童年时期的情况，D是第四段内容，均不符合，故选B。
35题：“the fruits of labour”是固定短语，意为“劳动成果”，第五段介绍Lucy的劳动带来的成就（出版重要指南、植物以她命名等），对应选项D；A“原因”、B“记录”、C“花朵”均不符合语境，故选D。
