【分析】这是一道选词填空题，解题思路为：①通读所有句子，理解每个句子的句意；②分析每个空缺处的句子成分，确定所需词汇的词性、时态、单复数等语法要求；③结合方框内词汇/短语的含义，匹配恰当的词，并调整为正确形式；④确保每个词或短语仅使用一次。
【解析】1. 句意为“她梦想成为一名舞者，但因健康差未通过舞蹈试镜”，此处需表示“舞者”的名词，将动词dance变为名词dancer。2. 句意为“每次失败都是未来成功的种子，只要从中学习并前进”，此处需表示“种子”的名词，符合语境，用单数seed。3. 句意为“如果你制定计划并每日执行，就能熬过这糟糕的考试周”，情态动词can后接动词原形，短语get through符合“熬过”的含义，用原形。4. 句意为“虽然他失败多次，但仍坚持成为作家的梦想”，根据failed可知时态为一般过去时，短语hold on to需变为过去式held on to。5. 句意为“起初他未能清晰表达想法，但未停止练习沟通技巧，很快进步很多”，此处需表示“沟通技巧”，communication skill为可数名词，用复数形式communication skills。6. 句意为“学好外语不容易，它需要更多练习”，主语it为第三人称单数，一般现在时中动词require需变为第三人称单数形式requires。
