【解析】

这篇短文主要介绍了作者的一只小狗的故事，小狗的名字叫Duke，它非常聪明，文中介绍了它的一些聪明的表现，它驱赶我的猫爬到了树上，然后感到自豪地走开，当它饿的时候，它嘴里叼着食物盘子，放在我妈妈的脚前，作者从小狗那里学到很多知识。

1.句意：上星期天我在翻看我的旧照片。一张照片吸引了我的目光。

根据上文“I was looking through my old photo last Sunday.”可知，此处是“一张照片吸引了我的目光”。整篇文章及上文都是过去式，这里用一般过去时态，短语catch one’s eyes表示“吸引某人的目光”，catch的过去式是caught。根据题意，故答案为caught。

2.句意：杜克是这样一只小狗的有趣名字。

根据音标提示可知是such如此；such+a/an+形容词+名词单数，表示“如此一个……”，根据题意，故答案为such。

3.句意：当我享受读书时，他和我坐在那把椅子上。

短语enjoy doing sth.表示“喜欢做某事”，read动词，读书，动名词是reading。根据题意，故答案为reading。

4.句意：当我出去做一些活动的时候，他会把我们的猫赶到树上，然后自豪地离开。

根据下文“he would drive our cats up to the trees and then walk off feeling proud of_____5_____(he).”可知上文是“出去”。短语go outside表示“出去”；outside副词，在外面。根据题意，故答案为outside。

5.句意：当我出去做一些活动的时候，他会把我们的猫赶到树上，然后自豪地离开。

根据上文“he would drive our cats up to the trees”可知下文是“然后自豪地离开”，此处用he的反身代词himself，他自己，对自己感到自豪，故答案为himself。

6.句意：当他饿的时候，他会把他的食物盘子放在嘴里，叼在我妈妈的脚边。

根据上文“he would carry his food plate in his mouth”可知此处是“叼在我妈妈的脚边”，此处是指代前面提到的“food plate”食物盘子。用it代替。根据题意，故答案为it。

7.句意：当我生病的时候，他拒绝离开我的的床，直到我比以前更健康。

根据“than before”可知，用形容词比较级，healthy形容词，健康的，比较级是healthier，更健康的。根据题意，故答案为healthier。

8.句意：我从Duke那里学到了很多。

短语learn a lot from…表示“从……学到很多”。根据题意，故答案为from。

9.句意：我学到了如果你带有很大的享受去吃，最简单的晚餐也是美味的。

根据“you eat it with great enjoyment.”此处是if引导的条件状语从句，if连词，如果。根据题意，故答案为if。

10.句意：然而，我也了解了生命是短暂的，尤其是如果你是一只小狗。

根据下文“I also learned that life is short, especially if you are a dog.”可知和上文“I learned that life can be good when you live it with love and joy.”是转折关系，此处用however，然而。根据题意，故答案为However。
