【解析】

本篇講述一個小女孩通過自己不懈的努力，克服自身條件的不足，在爸爸的鼓勵下，終于實現(xiàn)自己的夢想，在一次比賽中以出色的表現(xiàn)得到一所著名大學的獎學金。

【1】句意：有一天我問她為什么這么刻苦地練習。

句子是賓語從句，空格是賓語從句的引導詞；根據(jù)下文“I want to go to college…”推斷空格處是問為什么這么刻苦地練習；故答案為why。

【2】句意：我唯一能去的辦法就是獲得獎學金。

空格在be動詞后面，判斷填動詞原形，與to一起構成不定式當表語；get得到，動詞，故答案為to get。

【3】句意：在她高中畢業(yè)前的一天，我看見她悲傷地坐在草地上。

根據(jù)上文“I watched her through those junior high years and into senior high school”推斷空格指在她高中畢業(yè)前的一天，graduate from從…畢業(yè)；故答案為from。

【4】句意：在她高中畢業(yè)前的一天，我看見她悲傷地坐在草地上。

空格在動詞短語后面，判斷填副詞；sad傷心的，形容詞，其副詞形式為sadly傷心地；故答案為sadly。

【5】句意：她告訴我她的教練說她太矮了，不能成為一名優(yōu)秀的籃球運動員，所以她應該停止夢想去上大學的。

從文字的表層意思推斷空格指她太矮了，不能成為一名優(yōu)秀的籃球運動員；too … to …太……不能……；故答案為too。

【6】句意：她告訴我她的教練說她太矮了，不能成為一名優(yōu)秀的籃球運動員，所以她應該停止夢想去上大學。

stop可接動名詞和不定式，接動名詞意為“停止做某事（正在做的事情）”，接不定式意為“停下（在做的事情），做某事”；根據(jù)上文“her coach said she was too short to be a good basketball player,”推斷空格處指停止夢想去上大學，由此判斷填動名詞，故答案為dreaming。

【7】句意：她很傷心，這讓我也很難過。

make sb. do sth.使某人做某事，由此判斷空格填動詞原形；feel感覺，動詞；故答案為feel。

【8】句意：如果你真的想爭取到一所好的大學的獎學金，除了你自己沒有什么能阻擋你實現(xiàn)夢想。

根據(jù)下文“If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count."”推斷上文是父親鼓勵女孩的話，只要自己努力沒有什么能阻擋你實現(xiàn)夢想——只有你自己才會阻止夢想的實現(xiàn)，由此判斷空格填反身代詞，故答案為yourself。

【9】句意：她被一個著名大學隊的教練看見了，她獲得了該校女子籃球隊的獎學金。

根據(jù)下文“and was offered a scholarship to the women’s basketball team of their college”推斷空格指一個著名大學隊的教練看見她的出色表現(xiàn)；短文敘述發(fā)生過的事情，用一般過去時，主語she是動作的承受者（被看見），所以空格用一般過去時被動語態(tài)，故答案為was seen。

【10】句意：她被一個著名大學隊的教練看見了，她獲得了該校女子籃球隊的獎學金。

空格在名詞前，判斷填所有格；從文字的表層意思推斷空格指女子籃球隊，用名詞復數(shù)表泛指，woman的復數(shù)形式為不規(guī)則變化women，其所有格在詞尾+’s；故答案為women’s。
