【解析】【1】fall over意为“摔倒在……，被绊倒”，从前面她的脚太大可知应选B项。jump over意为“跳跃”；turn over意为“翻转”；push一般不与over搭配。

【2】句意为“在别人——通常是一个‘帅小伙’的注视下，她往往因为不自在而摔倒”。watch意为“注视，留意”，符合题意。根据常识可知，人们看到长得丑的人不可能“大笑”，而是好奇地“注视”。

【3】人们嘲笑的是她的长相，所以选D项。the way后跟的是定语从句，省略了引导词in which/that。

【4】人们嘲笑她，不仅因为她长得“不一样（different）”，而且因为她想法也“不一样”。clever意为“聪明的”；从后文可知，她并不“愚蠢”，因此不选A项；D项太片面。

【5】when引导表语从句说明事情发生的时间。此处不表示事情发生的原因、方式或地点，根据下文的提示可排除其他选项。

【6】日记只能是“提醒（remind）”她生活中还有好的一面。Remind sb. that…意为“提醒某人某事”。B、C两项的主语一般是人；help后面不跟从句。

【7】作者在此处强调的是日记的作用，even though引导让步状语从句，意为“即使”，符合此处的逻辑关系。本题干扰性最大的是but。如果用even though，作者想强调的是前者，生活中还有美好的东西；如果用but，作者强调的是后者“一切都令人不愉快”。

【8】因为是写日记，所以每天都“添加（add）”一些新的东西。从“写日记”这个角度可排除其他选项。

【9】她想让同学们了解她日记的内容，因此此处指“分享（share）”。日记是让别人看，而不是跟别人“讨论（discuss）”。

【10】从后面她又受到同学的嘲笑看，此处应是转折关系，表示“没有怎么样，而是……”。其它选项不符合逻辑。

【11】从前面她感到羞愧以及连词and可知她“停止”了写作。

【12】cool的、意为“酷的”，此处表示转折，后文叙述的是她最终获得了成功。

【13】pick up意为“重新干……，继续”，从前面她一度停止写作可知应选B项。Find out意为“弄清事情的真相”；think of意为“想出，想起”；give up意为“放弃”，都不符合题意。

【14】in particular意为“尤其，特别”，此处指她专门向一家公司投稿。in general意为“总的来说”，用于对事物的评价；at first意为“起初”，含有后来不这样做的意思；at last意为“最后”，说明的是最终的结果。

【15】be supposed to do在此处表示“应该……”；be made to do意为“被迫做……”；be advised to do意为“本建议做……”。

【16】此处强调日记的作用“仅仅（just）”是提醒人们他们所做的事情有意义。此处强调日记的作用或目的就“一个”，由此可排除其它选项。

【17】fun在此处意为“有趣的”。“优秀的，极好的（excellent）”、“成功的（successful）”和“真的（true）”都不是作者想强调的。

【18】从前面的Finally看，此处指出版商最终“同意（agree）”给她出版。refuse和hope不符合题意；consider后面不直接接动词不定式。

【19】make it是固定短语，意为“成功，干成”。此处指她的书上了畅销书的排行榜。

【20】besides为介词，意为“除……之外，还……”。本句是说她不仅出版了畅销书，而且还实现了自己当体育编辑的梦想。此处说明的是另一方面的情况，由此可排除其它选项。
