Jimmy was overweight and loved ice cream. It was his favourite dessert(甜点). He 1 (allow) to have an ice cream each evening after dinner if he ate up his vegetables. He would like 2 (eat) ice cream at home because he didn't like to walk to the ice cream stand(货摊).
His mum was worried about his health. That night at supper, Jimmy ate up all his vegetables, but there was no ice cream. "I have already finished my vegetables," he said. However, Mum came up 3 a new idea. "If you want to eat ice cream, you'll have to get it by walking to the ice cream stand," she said. Jimmy had no 4 (choose) but to agree, so they decided to take a walk on Saturday. According to the map, the ice cream stand was a mile away. It was 5 sunny day. The sun was so bright that Jimmy could hardly open his eyes. He asked, "How much farther is it?" Mum checked the map on her phone and then said, "We're even halfway yet. Do you want to turn around?" Jimmy did want to turn around, but he also wanted ice cream. 6 (walk) was the only way to get it.
After a few minutes, Jimmy felt tired and had difficulty walking on. He wanted to sit down, but there were no chairs. He wanted to give up. He looked up to tell Mum he was ready to turn around. But 7 he did, he could see the violet flag at the top of the ice cream stand. They were almost there! Jimmy started to walk much 8 (fast). He finally could taste the cool, creamy ice cream. It was a long walk, but it was 9 (certain) worth the effort. "I have a sense of 10 (achieve)," Jimmy said excitedly.

解析：
【分析】本题为语篇型词汇填空题，需结合短文语境、语法规则及固定搭配完成填空。解题思路：先通读全文理解大意，再逐个分析每个空格的句子结构、语法要求，若有括号提示则转换为正确形式，无提示则根据固定搭配或语境确定单词。
【解析】1. 主语he与动词allow是被动关系，时态为一般过去时，故填was allowed；2. 固定搭配would like to do sth，故填to eat；3. 固定短语come up with意为“想出”，故填with；4. no后需接名词，choose的名词形式为choice，故填choice；5. sunny day为可数名词单数，且sunny以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a，故填a；6. 此处作主语，需用动名词形式，故填Walking；7. 此处表示“当……时”，用连词when，故填when；8. much修饰比较级，fast的比较级为faster，故填faster；9. 修饰形容词worth需用副词，certain的副词形式为certainly，故填certainly；10. 固定短语a sense of achievement意为“成就感”，of后接名词，achieve的名词形式为achievement，故填achievement。
【答案】1. was allowed 2. to eat 3. with 4. choice 5. a 6. Walking 7. when 8. faster 9. certainly 10. achievement
