【分析】
本题为英语短文填空题，需结合语境、语法规则、固定搭配及词性转换完成填空。解题思路：1. 分析句子时态、语态，确定动词形式；2. 识别固定搭配，如would like to do、come up with等；3. 根据括号内单词的词性，转换为符合语境的形式；4. 判断虚词（冠词、连词等）的正确用法；5. 结合上下文逻辑选择合适的词汇。
【解析】
1. 考查一般过去时被动语态：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. 考查固定搭配：would like to do sth为固定用法，意为“想要做某事”，故填to eat。
3. 考查固定短语：come up with是固定搭配，意为“想出”，故填with。
4. 考查词性转换：have no后需接名词，choose的名词形式为choice，故填choice。
5. 考查冠词：day是可数名词单数，sunny以辅音音素开头，此处表泛指，故填a。
6. 考查动名词作主语：此处需名词性成分作主语，walk的动名词形式为Walking，首字母大写，故填Walking。
7. 考查连词：根据语境，此处表示“当他要转身时”，用when引导时间状语从句，故填when。
8. 考查比较级：much修饰比较级，fast的比较级为faster，故填faster。
9. 考查副词修饰形容词：worth是形容词，需用副词修饰，certain的副词形式为certainly，故填certainly。
10. 考查词性转换：a sense of后需接名词，achieve的名词形式为achievement，故填achievement。
