【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己学习游泳的经过，现在教孩子们游泳以防溺水的发生。
⑴考查副词。句意：不幸的是，我差点被淹死。这里副词作状语修饰整个句子，故用Sadly。

⑵考查连词。句意：尽管我被一位男士所救，但是我妈妈如此害怕，所以决定再也不让我接近游泳池了。根据句意可知这里应该用Though / Although。

⑶ 考查形容词。主语是妈妈，她感到害怕。frightened”感到害怕的“。

⑷考查副词。句意：但是我想的和她完全不一样。根据句意和上下文可知，这里用However。

⑸考查名词。句意：我决定成为一名优秀的游泳者。这里用名词作宾语。

⑹考查动词。句意：在告诉妈妈我的想法后，她认为我是正确的，就同意了。这里根据语境和上下文可知，作者在叙述过去的事情，要用一般过去时，故agreed。

⑺考查固定结构。so...that...固定句型“如此……以至于”。句意：后来我对游泳如此感兴趣以至于我决定参加游泳比赛。

⑻考查不定式。句意：我是第一位在游泳项目上赢得奥运金牌的美国黑人。此题考查the+序数词+n.+to do sth结构，故填to win。
