25、er filled a large container with colourful . One night, when I arrived home after school, I found something ： the container was filled with bones and the other dog foods!

26、to start packing, . He had taken all plants from the container and laid out neatly on the floor, only two plants. He had then put into it his own foods what he had found in the house. 解析 本文讲述的是过去的事情；just常与完成时连用， 故用过去完成时。 解析 while doing sth是现在分词作时间状语。 解析 根据下文中的all plants可知， 此处plant用复数形式。 解析 surprisin

27、g令人惊奇的， 修饰事物；而surprised感到惊讶的， 修饰人。 解析 decided的动作与seeing同时发生， 故用一般过去时。 解析 it is time for sb to do sth该是某人做某事的时候了。 解析 either 也， 用在否定句中；too用在肯定句中。 解析 lay sth out为及物动词短语， 表示“把摊开”。 解析 本句中已有谓语动词， 故此处应填非谓语动词。主语为He, 与break构成主谓关系， 故应用现在分词作伴随状语。 解析 what不能引导定语从句， that/which引导定语从句， 在从句中充当found的宾语， 修饰先行词foods，此时that/which可以省略。
