解析：

(1)	通过翻译，可以判断小女孩训练很刻苦，故选train训练。
(2)	通过翻译，根据前后句意思可以判断出为因果逻辑，故选since表因为。
(3)	通过翻译，可知小女孩经常看重影或者无法判断物体的远近，而guess猜、assume假定、predict预测均无此意，tell可以表示辨别出、判断出、说出的意思，如It's hard to tell whois who 很难辨别出谁是谁。
(4)	通过翻译，可知妈妈注意到小女孩胆量很大，无所畏惧，所以选noticed注意到。
(5)	通过翻译，可知小女孩视力不好，无法很好的看东西，所以选well
(6)	体操本身属于运动，且下文重复出现过do the sport。
(7)	通过翻译，可知对于小女孩来说，学习体操肯定和其他同学不一样，因为她的眼睛问题。而boring无聊、enjoyable享受、unsatisfactory不满意均意思不合理。
(8)	通过翻译，可知此处应该填小女孩的病症，talent才华、quality素质、nature天性都不合适，而condition可以有health condition身体健康状况，所以选condition，且上文明确提过这个病是一个rare condition。
(9)	通过翻译，可知对于小女孩最大的难处、最大的挑战就是平衡木。
(10)	通过翻译，可知小女好的意思是“你要相信你的直觉或你的心灵，它可以把你带到你想要去的地方”，且全文结尾的“just believe yourself”也是很好的复现。
(11)	通过翻译，可知想要成为顶级的体操选手，必须勇敢，大多数人可能最害怕的就是平衡木，因为平衡木只有四寸宽。根据brave可以推出fearful。
(12)	通过翻译，可知小女好没有掉下来，而fall off意为“从…掉下来”。
(13)	通过翻译，可知小女孩不想自己因为眼睛不好的原因而得到区别于队友的不同对待。greet问候、served服务、paid付、花，意思均不符合。
(14)	通过翻译，可以裁判们不知道小女孩的视力有问题。pain痛苦、stress压力、injury身体受损，视力不能痛苦、不能压力，视力软性的看不见摸不着的东西，不是身体的部分，不能选injury，而problem可以泛指一般的所有的问题，所以选D。
(15)	通过翻译，可知全文体现的是小女孩积极的态度，所以选positive积极的。
(16)	通过翻译，可知小女孩不想退出，她现在的水平是7，最高级别是10，而她的目标是9。所以选quit。
(17)	通过翻译，选goal目标，表示她想要达到的程度。
(18)	通过翻译，可知小女孩想要在她长大的时候成为一名体操教练，把她的所学传授给其他孩子们。before在…之前、until直到，均意思不对，as可以表示“当”，但强调伴随，翻译成“随着”，后面往往跟进行时态，而句子意思是“当她长大的时候”，所以选when。
(19)	通过翻译，可以轻松选出proud of骄傲自豪。
(20)	通过翻译，可知小女孩给大家的建议就是“相信自己就好”，所以选advice。
