【分析】
做语法填空时，需先通读短文理解主旨，再结合句子结构、固定搭配、词性变化、时态、冠词介词用法等知识点逐个分析空白处：1. 需表达“来自”的含义，用介词；2. 需表达“在……之前”的时间关系，用介词；3. 描述泳池长度，用形容词；4. 序数词前需加定冠词；5. be动词后需用形容词作表语；6. 表示“欢呼声”，用名词复数；7. 与前面名词并列，用名词；8. 描述过去动作，用动词过去式；9. 表示所属关系，用介词；10. 介词后需用动名词作宾语。
【解析】
1. 考查介词。句意：来自赤道几内亚的第一位奥运游泳运动员，介词from表示“来自”，符合语境。
2. 考查介词。句意：他在2000年悉尼奥运会前仅六个月才开始游泳，介词before表示“在……之前”，符合时间逻辑。
3. 考查形容词。“数词+名词+long”是描述长度的固定结构，此处指泳池长13米，填long。
4. 考查冠词。序数词first前必须加定冠词the，构成固定搭配the first time（第一次）。
5. 考查词性转换。be动词were后需接形容词作表语，名词difficulty的形容词形式为difficult。
6. 考查名词复数。cheer此处意为“欢呼声”，是可数名词，前面无不定冠词，用复数形式cheers表示泛指。
7. 考查词性转换。and连接并列成分，前面是名词短语hard work，此处需用practice的名词形式（意为“练习”），与work对应。
8. 考查动词时态。描述2000年奥运会后的过去动作，用一般过去时，become的过去式为became。
9. 考查介词。表示“他的国家的国家队教练”，介词of表所属，for表对象，两者均可。
10. 考查非谓语动词。介词of后需接动名词作宾语，动词give的动名词形式为giving。
