二、语法填空（真题·金华东阳）
阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
It was the last minute of the 2022 Beijing Marathon. $\underline{16}$ , 86-year-old Zhang Shun was still about 100 metres from the finishing line. People watched him move $\underline{17}$ (slow). All of them held their breath. Would he make it?
Zhang felt confident before the race. But he had $\underline{18}$ stomachache on the way. This made him fall $\underline{19}$. “Shall I take a rest or stop?” he thought. Either choice seemed fine for someone at his age. But Zhang $\underline{20}$ (choose) neither of them. He just ran on. With people cheering, he finally crossed the finishing line!
Marathon running is Zhang’s lifelong dream. “In 1989, I saw Beijing Marathon $\underline{21}$ (runner) go past my home. I just wanted to become one of $\underline{22}$ (they),” he said. For years, he trained every morning in the park. He filled over 30 notebooks with his running records. $\underline{23}$ an amazing man!
Zhang Shun was the $\underline{24}$ (old) and the slowest one to finish the 2022 Beijing Marathon. But it didn’t matter to him. “If possible, I $\underline{25}$ (keep) running. I really love the sport-running and have no plans to stop now.”

【分析】
本题为语法填空，需结合语境逻辑、固定搭配、词性转换、时态、感叹句、最高级等语法规则逐个分析：
16空：前后句为转折关系，需填转折副词；
17空：修饰动词move，需用副词，将形容词slow转换为副词；
18空：固定搭配have a stomachache需加不定冠词；
19空：固定短语fall behind意为“落后”，符合语境；
20空：全文为过去的故事，动词用一般过去时；
21空：指马拉松选手群体，需用名词复数；
22空：one of后接人称代词宾格；
23空：感叹句中心词为名词短语，用What引导；
24空：and连接并列最高级，需用形容词最高级；
25空：if条件句遵循“主将从现”，主句用一般将来时。
【解析】
16. 考查副词。前后句为转折关系，且空格后有逗号，故填However。
17. 考查副词。修饰动词move需用副词，slow的副词形式为slowly，故填slowly。
18. 考查冠词。固定搭配have a stomachache意为“胃痛”，需加不定冠词a，故填a。
19. 考查固定短语。fall behind是固定短语，意为“落后”，符合语境，故填behind。
20. 考查动词时态。全文讲述过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，choose的过去式为chose，故填chose。
21. 考查名词复数。此处指“北京马拉松的选手们”，应用复数形式，故填runners。
22. 考查代词。one of后接人称代词宾格，they的宾格为them，故填them。
23. 考查感叹句。感叹句结构为“What + (a/an) + 形容词 + 名词！”，中心词是名词man，故用What，填What。
24. 考查形容词最高级。and连接并列成分，后面是最高级slowest，故此处用old的最高级oldest，填oldest。
25. 考查动词时态。if引导的条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”原则，主句用一般将来时，故填will keep。
