解析：

(1)	我的工作是开着救护车跟在运动员后面以防他们有人需要救护。In case：以免，以防。
(2)	从后面内容可以看出；救护车跟在最后一名运动员后面。
(3)	前面的运动员都消失了。
(4)	我的目光被吸引在(最后)以为妇女身上。
(5)	这为妇女几乎都不能走，所以她的腿有残疾。
(6)	更不用说跑马拉松了。固定短语：Let alone：更不用说了。
(7)	我们在默默地注视着她。D项缺少介词at：stare at。
(8)	最后，她成为我视线中唯一一名运动员了。
(9)	她一边以坚定的意志向前“跑”，我一边注视着她。determination：意志坚定。
(11)	加油助威的人群早已经回家了。Cheering：喝彩，助威。
(12)	然而，这位残疾妇女的唯一支持者一直在终点线那自豪地“等着”她。
(13)	本句是一个倒装句。主语是a lone man。谓语是waited。standing straight and ever so proud是伴随状语。
(14)	他(那个男的)紧握着系在一根柱子上的缎带的另一端(让这位女运动员撞线)。
(16)	从那一天，那位女运动员成为激励我的人生的一部分。
(17)	这位妇女参赛的目的不是为击败其他运动员而获奖。
(18)	而是去完成她所开始的事情。
(19)	不管是什么事情，都要坚持下去。
(20)	我由此受到鼓舞，再难的事也变得容易了。
