解析：

(1)	由于面部肌肉扭曲，照鏡子時我都認不出自己了。recognize辨認出，辨別出，符合語境。
(2)	面部肌肉變得僵硬，說話也受到影響，其他參加面試的人自然就比我有優勢了。advantage優勢，有利條件，符合語境。
(3)	然而我不想讓自己清醒的意識阻礙我(去參加面試)。
(4)	從語境看，作者說這是她多年來夢想的職位，因此不是她為得到這個位置而準備了很長時間，而是經過多年刻苦工作，才終于有了這個機會。
(5)	drop sb．off表示“(用車)順路送(某人到某地)，順便把(某物/人)送至(某處)”，符合語境。
(6)	從語境可知，作者決定還是要去參加這次面試。
(7)	上文講到此時的我照鏡子都幾乎認不出自己，媽媽心疼我，溫柔地說，可是你看起來那么不正常。解題時要注意句中的省略號。文章沒有提到作者身體虛弱(weak)；媽媽說話溫和，因此不是責怪作者固執或生氣。
(8)	媽媽說的沒錯，這一點我心里明白。
(9)	假如我不去參加面試，我會總是想我是否本來可以得到這個我夢寐以求的工作呢？
(10)	結合上下文和所提供的選項可知，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換。“你好，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)	結合語境判斷選A，我剛從醫院趕過來，醫生說我患了面部神經麻痹，可能這種情況會持續幾天才會恢復。
(13)	處于這樣的狀態，還能來參加面試，可見作者是真有毅力。
(14)	從四個動詞選項看，本題應該選C，comment評論，評價。這句話是他對我抱病參加面試的評價。
(15)	從下文考官的話可知他是在看我的申請表。
(16)	從下文作者的回答(是的)判斷選A，考官問道：你這份申請表上提供的信息都是準確的吧？其他選項normal正常的；incredible難以置信的；contradictory相矛盾的，均不符合語境。
(17)	結合語境，此處意為：不過在申請表中我忘了說，我的打字速度是每分鐘75個。
(18)	既然背景給人的印象深刻，而且有相關的工作經歷，那么作者“當然”符合條件了。
(19)	你什么時候可以來報到上班呢？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毅的性格給考官留下了深刻的印象。
