【解析】

本文属于记叙文，讲述Mary Moe一生不放弃梦想，终于成为年龄最大的女飞行员，实现自己的梦想。

1.考查名词。句意：这句话可能是Mary Moe的格言，这句话也最好代表了她的精神。分析句子可知，the后接名词，故用expression。

2.考查现在完成时。句意：Mary Moe在过去的91年里做了很多事情。分析句子可知，本句描述过去时间完成的事情，故用现在完成时has done。

3.考查连词。句意：在那么多的时间里，她一直想飞行，但是一直都没有机会，现在终于有了一个机会。分析前后句可知，前后句为转折关系，故用but。

4.考查不定冠词。句意：Mary Moe看起来就像一个很普通的祖母。修饰可数名词单数，故用不定冠词an。

5.考查时间状语从句。句意：她学习了驾驶飞机，一个自她孩子时代就有的一个梦想。分析句子可知she was a little girl状语修饰主句she has had作时间状语，故用连词since。

6.考查动词时态和语态。句意：在成长过程中，她被Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart这两个飞行员鼓舞。分析句子可知，本句缺乏谓语，encourage与主语为动宾关系，故用被动语态，故用was encouraged。

7.考查动词不定式。句意：五年后，Earhart成为第一个飞越大西洋的女性。本句为结构the +序数词+名词+to do，故用不定式to make。

8.考查代词。句意：三十四岁的时候，她太忙了，忙于与癌症作斗争。分析句子可知，本句缺乏主语，故用人称代词she。

9.考查介词。句意：她忙于广告工作，忙于养家糊口。本句为短语be busy with sth忙于某事，故用介词with。

10.考查副词。句意：在94岁的时候，她的梦想终于实现了。分析句子可知，修饰谓语动词came用副词，故用finally。
