四、完形填空。〔人与社会——名著阅读〕
Colin and Mary asked Dickon many questions about the names of flowers. He knew 1 which ones were already growing in the secret garden. "I'm going to see 2!" cried Colin. "I can't believe it."
The next day a strong servant 3 Colin downstairs and put him in his wheelchair. Dickon was 4 for him outside.
Colin said to his nurse and the servant in his young Rajah 5, "OK. Now you can go!" And 6 of them disappeared.
Dickon pushed the wheelchair slowly and carefully. Mary walked next to it. They went 7 the lawn to the long path near the wall.
"This is where I walked up and down looking for the door," 8 Mary. They walked a bit 9. Then Mary whispered again, "The robin flew over the wall here. And there," she said, 10 under a big bush in the flower bed, "is 11 I found the key."
When they were inside the garden, Colin looked round and round. He saw the walls and the earth and the 12 with their new green leaves. In the grass under these trees, there are flowers—gold and purple and white. The trees were 13 in pink and white flowers. The sun was warm on his face. Mary and Dickon looked at him. He looked quite 14. His face was pink, not white. "Mary! Dickon! I'm going to get 15!" he cried. "And I'm going to live forever!"
