四．短文还原（共1小题）
16．（2024秋 越秀区校级二模）"The only constant （不变） in life is change，" Heraclitus said in about 500 B.C.That could be truer today. （1）　 　 Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it.We get plenty of information every day.Francis Bacon said， "Knowledge is power." In fact，there is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life.
Why are we afraid of change？ （2）　 　 After all，who knows what new dangers might appear？However，change is also the only way of development.Nobody can stop it in life.Luckily，our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown. （3）　 　 To be more imaginative and creative，you should look for and find environments you have no experience with.
（4）　 　 For example，try a new restaurant，or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn't attend.Small change can help you gradually get used to uncertainty.So when bigger things happen，you'll be more fully prepared for them.
People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle.They believe they can control the future by doing so. （5）　 　 If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it，you will be successful.
A.That's because our brains want to protect us.
B.But change comes whether you ask for it or not.
C.We live in a world that is changing every minute.

【分析】讲述了作者偶然翻到一张老照片，回忆起自己和最好的朋友﹣﹣﹣﹣宠物狗杜克一起度过的许多美好的时光。
【解答】（1）考查动词。句意：一张照片吸引了我的目光。此处作谓语，根据前一句用了过去进行时，可知此处用一般过去时；catch意为"抓住"，是动词，其过去式为不规则变化，是caught，一张照片吸引了我的目光。故填caught。
（2）考查冠词。句意：杜克是一只小狗的有趣的名字。此处修饰其后名词dog，根据句意，可知表示"一只"，所以用不定冠词；横线后的little首字母发音是辅音音素，杜克是一只小狗的有趣的名字。故填a。
（3）考查名词。句意：当我看书时，他就在那把椅子里陪着我。此处作宾语，应该用名词；book意为"书"，是可数名词，根据可数名词"非单即复"的原则，此处用复数，当我看书时，他就在那把椅子里陪着我。故填books。
（4）考查动词。句意：当我出去玩游戏时。此处作目的状语，应该用动词不定式；play意为"玩"，是动词，：当我出去玩游戏时。故填to play。
（5）考查代词。句意：他会把猫追上树，然后对自己感到很自豪地走开。此处作介词of的宾语，又该宾语和主语是同一个东西（杜克），所以宾语用反身代词；him是人称代词宾格，其反身代词为himself，他会把猫追上树，然后对自己感到很自豪地走开。故填himself。
（6）考查代词。句意：当他饿的时候，他会把自己的盘子放在嘴里，然后扔到我妈妈的脚边。此处作宾语，用it代指盘子，故填it。
（7）考查形容词。句意：当我生病时，他拒绝离开我的床边，直到我感觉好一些。此处作表语，所以用形容词，和其前系动词get构成系表结构；又根据其后than可知用比较级，well意为"好的"，其比较级为better，当我生病时，他拒绝离开我的床边，直到我感觉好一些。故填better。
（8）考查介词。句意：我了解到中午休息一小会儿对你是有好处的。此处构成固定搭配be good for sb.表示"对某人有好处"，故填for。
（9）考查连词。句意：我了解到最简单的晚餐也可以很美味当/如果你用愉悦的心情吃下去。此处缺从属连词，连接前后两句话；根据两句话之间的关系，可知存在条件关系或时间关系，所以用if或when皆可，故填if/when。
（10）考查副词。句意：悲伤的是，我还知道了生命是短暂的，尤其是对一只狗来说。此处修饰一整个句子，应该用副词；sad意为"悲伤的"，是形容词，其副词要在词尾加ly，故填Sadly。
【点评】语法填空题要根据上下文语境，运用语法和词汇知识，反复推敲以求得解答。对于同义词和近义词的选项，在充分考虑到上下文具体语境下特别注意这些同义词和近义词搭配。
