【分析】
这是一篇人物传记类的完形填空题，解题时首先要先通读全文，快速把握核心主旨：本文介绍了优秀女子田径运动员Amantle Montsho坚持跑步、取得运动成就的成长故事，整体情感基调正向积极。接下来逐空结合前后文给出的细节线索、逻辑关系、常用固定搭配逐一比对选项，排除不符合语境的错误答案，最后把所有选定的答案代入全文通读，验证整体逻辑是否通顺连贯，就能得到正确结果。
【解析】
21. 前文点明运动不专属于男性，后文介绍主人公是专业跑步运动员，多次打破短跑赛事纪录，说明她是世界上跑得最快的女性之一。A选项“最伟大的”范围过于宽泛，B选项“最差的”和全文正向赞扬的语境矛盾，D选项“最高的”和跑步运动属性无关，因此选C。
22. 后文明确提示“She hardly talked to others”，说明主人公小时候几乎不和其他人交流，性格很害羞。A“受欢迎的”、B“外向的”、D“懒惰的”都和后文描述不符，因此选C。
23. 前文提到同学们经常觉得她行为奇怪，说明在她的国家几乎没有女性喜欢跑步，才会让她显得异类。hardly表示“几乎不”，符合语境，sometimes有时、usually通常、sadly悲伤地都不符合逻辑，因此选A。
24. 句首的转折词but提示，即便旁人觉得她奇怪，她也完全没有把这件事放在心上。cared about表示“在意、在乎”，符合语境，talked about谈论、knew about了解、thought about考虑都不符合句意，因此选D。
25. 后文提到博茨瓦纳国家体育委员会主动邀请她加入，说明她参加大量比赛并且取得了胜利。won表示“获胜”，符合逻辑，lost输掉、changed改变、dropped放弃都不符合情节走向，因此选B。
26. 后文明确出现提示句“Thanks to her, the program was very popular”，直接对应这里的工作内容是项目，school学校、team队伍、film电影都没有后文线索支撑，因此选C。
27. 前后句是让步逻辑：虽然她要为此花费8到10小时赶路，她依旧非常努力。although引导让步状语从句，符合逻辑关系，but表转折、so表因果、and表并列都不符合此处语境，因此选B。
28. 英语中表示“打破纪录”的固定搭配是break the record，此处句意是她多次打破国家纪录，got得到、won赢得、found发现都不符合搭配习惯，因此选D。
29. 后文提到人们认为她是世界上最有天赋的跑步运动员之一，说明她现在已经非常成功了，successful符合语境，pretty漂亮的、funny有趣的、strong强壮的都不能概括她取得的整体成就，因此选B。
30. 全文围绕主人公的跑步事业展开，句意是她一定会一直坚持跑步，直到迎来自己的高光时刻，running符合全文主线，studying学习、working工作、resting休息都不符合语境，因此选D。
【答案】
21.C 22.C 23.A 24.D 25.B 26.C 27.B 28.D 29.B 30.D
【知识点】
