【分析】
做这类首字母缺词填空，首先第一步要通读全文，理清故事的整体脉络：本文讲述了Candace遭遇车祸脊柱受伤后，没有放弃热爱的运动，最终突破自我取得成绩、帮助他人的励志故事。之后逐空结合上下文语境、固定搭配的积累，搭配给出的首字母提示推导对应单词，同时还要注意全文的叙事时态为一般过去时，按需调整单词的正确形式，确保填入后语义通顺、逻辑连贯。
【解析】
61. 此处表达另一辆车高速撞击他们，固定搭配at a high speed意为“以高速”，符合语境，首字母为s，因此填speed。
62. 前文提到她的脊柱受伤，没有手术能起到作用，可推知她永远不能再走路了，never意为“永不”，符合首字母n的提示，因此填never。
63. 后文明确提到了this anger，对应此处她的状态是变得很愤怒，angry是形容词“生气的、愤怒的”，符合首字母a的提示，因此填angry。
64. 前文说明她的腿已经无法正常行走，可推知她要在不使用腿的前提下进行运动，without是介词，意为“没有”，后接动名词using，符合首字母w的提示，因此填without。
65. 她的腿无法发力，为了不让自己在水里下沉，需要把手臂练得很强壮，arms是名词复数“手臂”，符合首字母a的提示，因此填arms。
66. 句意是经过大量训练后，Candace达成了自己的目标，固定搭配achieve one's goal意为“达成目标”，全文叙事为一般过去时，因此用achieve的过去式achieved，符合首字母a的提示，因此填achieved。
67. 后文提到她在很多比赛中创造纪录，可推知她赢得了很多金牌，golds用复数指代多枚金牌，符合首字母g的提示，因此填golds。
68. 固定结构have sth back意为“让某物失而复得、重新回归”，此处指运动这个她生命中很重要的部分重新回到了她的生活里，符合首字母b的提示，因此填back。
69. 句意是车祸虽然给她带来了巨大的磨难，但也给了她一个向世界展示自身能力的机会，chance意为“机会”，符合首字母c的提示，因此填chance。
70. 固定搭配give up意为“放弃”，全文为一般过去时，因此用give的过去式gave，符合首字母g的提示，因此填gave。
【答案】
61. speed 62. never 63. angry 64. without 65. arms 66. achieved 67. golds 68. back 69. chance 70. gave
