The Secret Garden is written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. She was born in 1849 in Manchester, England. When her father died suddenly, life became difficult for her family. In 1865, the family moved to Tennessee, USA. When Frances was eighteen years old, she began writing stories for ladies' magazines and soon she was making enough money for the whole family.
In 1886 she wrote her first children's story, Little Lord Fauntleroy. The book was very popular. After 1887, Frances lived in a large house with a lovely garden called Great Maytham Hall in England. This house and its garden inspired(启发) her to write The Secret Garden.
The Secret Garden was published(出版) in 1911. At the time it was not as popular as Little Lord Fauntleroy. However, today it is one of the most popular children's books.
In the story, Mary Lennox's parents die in India and she arrives at her uncle's house in England. She is ten years old, thin, angry and spoilt. She finds the secret garden. She starts to work in the garden and Dickon, a local boy, helps her. Then she finds her cousin Colin. He is ill and can't walk, but with the help of Mary, Dickon and the secret garden, he gets well.
Mary is like Frances as a child. Both of them had to move to a strange new country because of the death of their parents. Both loved reading and were imaginative.
When she wrote the book, Frances was interested in some new ideas. She believed the power of nature. Another new idea was thinking positively. People thought it made illness go away.

答案
7. B 8. D 9. A 10. A
解析
7. 根据原文第二段最后一句“This house and its garden inspired(启发) her to write The Secret Garden”，可知是她在英国居住的房子和花园给了她创作《秘密花园》的灵感，对应正确选项。
8. 第四段完整介绍了《秘密花园》的核心人物与完整故事脉络，也就是这本书的主要内容，其余选项都只能覆盖段落的部分内容，无法概括整段主旨。
9. 根据后文“Colin walks again when he begins to think about what is good in life”的提示，这个词的含义是往好的方向、积极充满希望地思考，和Hopefully（满怀希望地）含义一致。
10. 根据第五段内容，Frances和Mary童年经历相似，都热爱阅读、富有想象力，性格特质一致。其余选项错误：B项只有Frances在创作时会构思新想法，Mary是故事角色不符合；C项二人都因父母离世生活艰难，并没有快乐的童年；D项二人父母去世后搬去的是不同的陌生国家，并非同一个地方。
