【解析】

本篇讲述一个小女孩通过自己不懈的努力，克服自身条件的不足，在爸爸的鼓励下，终于实现自己的梦想，在一次比赛中以出色的表现得到一所著名大学的奖学金。

【1】句意：有一天我问她为什么这么刻苦地练习。

句子是宾语从句，空格是宾语从句的引导词；根据下文“I want to go to college…”推断空格处是问为什么这么刻苦地练习；故答案为why。

【2】句意：我唯一能去的办法就是获得奖学金。

空格在be动词后面，判断填动词原形，与to一起构成不定式当表语；get得到，动词，故答案为to get。

【3】句意：在她高中毕业前的一天，我看见她悲伤地坐在草地上。

根据上文“I watched her through those junior high years and into senior high school”推断空格指在她高中毕业前的一天，graduate from从…毕业；故答案为from。

【4】句意：在她高中毕业前的一天，我看见她悲伤地坐在草地上。

空格在动词短语后面，判断填副词；sad伤心的，形容词，其副词形式为sadly伤心地；故答案为sadly。

【5】句意：她告诉我她的教练说她太矮了，不能成为一名优秀的篮球运动员，所以她应该停止梦想去上大学的。

从文字的表层意思推断空格指她太矮了，不能成为一名优秀的篮球运动员；too … to …太……不能……；故答案为too。

【6】句意：她告诉我她的教练说她太矮了，不能成为一名优秀的篮球运动员，所以她应该停止梦想去上大学。

stop可接动名词和不定式，接动名词意为“停止做某事（正在做的事情）”，接不定式意为“停下（在做的事情），做某事”；根据上文“her coach said she was too short to be a good basketball player,”推断空格处指停止梦想去上大学，由此判断填动名词，故答案为dreaming。

【7】句意：她很伤心，这让我也很难过。

make sb. do sth.使某人做某事，由此判断空格填动词原形；feel感觉，动词；故答案为feel。

【8】句意：如果你真的想争取到一所好的大学的奖学金，除了你自己没有什么能阻挡你实现梦想。

根据下文“If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count."”推断上文是父亲鼓励女孩的话，只要自己努力没有什么能阻挡你实现梦想——只有你自己才会阻止梦想的实现，由此判断空格填反身代词，故答案为yourself。

【9】句意：她被一个著名大学队的教练看见了，她获得了该校女子篮球队的奖学金。

根据下文“and was offered a scholarship to the women’s basketball team of their college”推断空格指一个著名大学队的教练看见她的出色表现；短文叙述发生过的事情，用一般过去时，主语she是动作的承受者（被看见），所以空格用一般过去时被动语态，故答案为was seen。

【10】句意：她被一个著名大学队的教练看见了，她获得了该校女子篮球队的奖学金。

空格在名词前，判断填所有格；从文字的表层意思推断空格指女子篮球队，用名词复数表泛指，woman的复数形式为不规则变化women，其所有格在词尾+’s；故答案为women’s。
