Ⅲ.选词填空
选择方框中的词并用其适当形式填空(每词限用一次)。

It was a summer day. An old man was taking a walk down a hill 1.______. He wiped the sweat (擦汗)from his face and started singing a song.
Suddenly, he heard a voice. “Hello, sir.” The old man turned around, but he saw no one. “I'm here,” the voice came from beside his feet. The old man looked down and saw a 2.______ flower.
“Sir, would you mind answering a question?” asked the flower. “Certainly not. What do you want to know?” said the old man. The flower hesitated (犹豫) for a second and said, “Why are you 3.______ happy? You are not 4.______ and maybe you don't have many days left.” The flower went on, “My days have passed and I'm going to wither (枯萎). That makes me sad.”
The old man laughed, “Yes, I don't have many days left. But so what? Why waste such a 5.______ day on something that hasn't happened? What's gone is gone. What's to come is to come. You can't change it. But you can decide to enjoy this very moment that you 6.______ have.”
And he didn't wait for the flower to respond (回应). He just walked away, continuing with the happy song he had been singing.

答案： 1.cheerfully　根据下一句中的started singing a song及最后一段中的continuing with the happy song可知，老人一直是开心的状态，空处修饰was taking a walk，用副词，故填cheerfully。cheerfully欢快地。
2.beautiful　空后是flower，所以此处填形容词，结合方框中所给的词可知填beautiful。a beautiful flower一朵美丽的花。
3.so　根据后文花朵和老人的对话可知，此处花朵是在问老人为什么如此开心。故填so。
4.young　根据文中多次提到的old man可知，这里填young。花不明白老人已不再年轻，而且日子也不多了，为什么他还能如此开心。
5.lovely　此处修饰名词day，需要填形容词，结合方框中的词可知填lovely。a lovely day美好的一天。
6.truly　此处修饰动词have，需要填副词。结合方框中的词可知填true的副词形式truly。truly真正地；enjoy this very moment that you truly have享受你真正拥有的这一刻。
