解析：

(1)	由于面部肌肉扭曲，照鏡子時(shí)我都認(rèn)不出自己了。recognize辨認(rèn)出，辨別出，符合語(yǔ)境。
(2)	面部肌肉變得僵硬，說(shuō)話(huà)也受到影響，其他參加面試的人自然就比我有優(yōu)勢(shì)了。advantage優(yōu)勢(shì)，有利條件，符合語(yǔ)境。
(3)	然而我不想讓自己清醒的意識(shí)阻礙我(去參加面試)。
(4)	從語(yǔ)境看，作者說(shuō)這是她多年來(lái)夢(mèng)想的職位，因此不是她為得到這個(gè)位置而準(zhǔn)備了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，而是經(jīng)過(guò)多年刻苦工作，才終于有了這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)。
(5)	drop sb．off表示“(用車(chē))順路送(某人到某地)，順便把(某物/人)送至(某處)”，符合語(yǔ)境。
(6)	從語(yǔ)境可知，作者決定還是要去參加這次面試。
(7)	上文講到此時(shí)的我照鏡子都幾乎認(rèn)不出自己，媽媽心疼我，溫柔地說(shuō)，可是你看起來(lái)那么不正常。解題時(shí)要注意句中的省略號(hào)。文章沒(méi)有提到作者身體虛弱(weak)；媽媽說(shuō)話(huà)溫和，因此不是責(zé)怪作者固執(zhí)或生氣。
(8)	媽媽說(shuō)的沒(méi)錯(cuò)，這一點(diǎn)我心里明白。
(9)	假如我不去參加面試，我會(huì)總是想我是否本來(lái)可以得到這個(gè)我夢(mèng)寐以求的工作呢？
(10)	結(jié)合上下文和所提供的選項(xiàng)可知，媽媽很不情愿地把我送到我要去的地方。
(11)	注意情景的跳躍與轉(zhuǎn)換�！澳愫茫�你是Jenkins小姐嗎？”顯然這里是面試的考官在和我打招呼，因此選C。
(12)	結(jié)合語(yǔ)境判斷選A，我剛從醫(yī)院趕過(guò)來(lái)，醫(yī)生說(shuō)我患了面部神經(jīng)麻痹，可能這種情況會(huì)持續(xù)幾天才會(huì)恢復(fù)。
(13)	處于這樣的狀態(tài)，還能來(lái)參加面試，可見(jiàn)作者是真有毅力。
(14)	從四個(gè)動(dòng)詞選項(xiàng)看，本題應(yīng)該選C，comment評(píng)論，評(píng)價(jià)。這句話(huà)是他對(duì)我抱病參加面試的評(píng)價(jià)。
(15)	從下文考官的話(huà)可知他是在看我的申請(qǐng)表。
(16)	從下文作者的回答(是的)判斷選A，考官問(wèn)道：你這份申請(qǐng)表上提供的信息都是準(zhǔn)確的吧？其他選項(xiàng)normal正常的；incredible難以置信的；contradictory相矛盾的，均不符合語(yǔ)境。
(17)	結(jié)合語(yǔ)境，此處意為：不過(guò)在申請(qǐng)表中我忘了說(shuō)，我的打字速度是每分鐘75個(gè)。
(18)	既然背景給人的印象深刻，而且有相關(guān)的工作經(jīng)歷，那么作者“當(dāng)然”符合條件了。
(19)	你什么時(shí)候可以來(lái)報(bào)到上班呢？這里用available表示“可以得到的，可用的”。
(20)	顯然，作者的勇氣與毅力也就是她堅(jiān)毅的性格給考官留下了深刻的印象。
