一、词汇运用。
根据句意，用括号中所给词的适当形式填空。
1. How ! I am going to visit Beijing Art Museum with my parents. (excite)
2. Julia to give up her dream to be a dancer because she got badly sick. (plan)
3. Look! What a picture it is! (beauty)
4. Listen! They are for the English Song Competition carefully. (prepare)
5. Both Tom and Mike enjoy . They'll watch a gardening show together. (garden)

1. exciting 2. planned 3. beautiful 4. preparing 5. gardening/gardens

【分析】
本题为英语词汇运用题，需结合句子结构、时态、固定搭配及词性转换规则，将括号内单词变为适当形式。具体思路：1. 感叹句中How后接形容词，需转换excite为对应形容词；2. 由后半句过去式got判断时态，plan需用过去式；3. 修饰名词picture需用形容词，转换beauty为对应形容词；4. Look提示现在进行时，prepare需用现在分词；5. 固定搭配enjoy后接动名词，转换garden为动名词。
【解析】
1. 感叹句结构为“How + 形容词 + 主语 + 谓语”，excite的形容词形式（修饰事物）为exciting，故填exciting。
2. 后半句动词got为过去式，表明句子是一般过去时，plan的过去式为planned，故填planned。
3. 空格修饰名词picture，需用形容词，beauty的形容词形式为beautiful，故填beautiful。
4. 句首Look! 是现在进行时的标志，结构为“be + 现在分词”，prepare的现在分词为preparing，故填preparing。
5. 固定搭配enjoy doing sth表示“喜欢做某事”，garden的动名词形式为gardening，也可填gardens（名词复数形式），故填gardening/gardens。
【答案】
1. exciting 2. planned 3. beautiful 4. preparing 5. gardening/gardens
