解析：

(1)	由于面部肌肉扭曲，照镜子时我都认不出自己了。recognize辨认出，辨别出，符合语境。
(2)	面部肌肉变得僵硬，说话也受到影响，其他参加面试的人自然就比我有优势了。advantage优势，有利条件，符合语境。
(3)	然而我不想让自己清醒的意识阻碍我(去参加面试)。
(4)	从语境看，作者说这是她多年来梦想的职位，因此不是她为得到这个位置而准备了很长时间，而是经过多年刻苦工作，才终于有了这个机会。
(5)	drop sb．off表示“(用车)顺路送(某人到某地)，顺便把(某物/人)送至(某处)”，符合语境。
(6)	从语境可知，作者决定还是要去参加这次面试。
(7)	上文讲到此时的我照镜子都几乎认不出自己，妈妈心疼我，温柔地说，可是你看起来那么不正常。解题时要注意句中的省略号。文章没有提到作者身体虚弱(weak)；妈妈说话温和，因此不是责怪作者固执或生气。
(8)	妈妈说的没错，这一点我心里明白。
(9)	假如我不去参加面试，我会总是想我是否本来可以得到这个我梦寐以求的工作呢？
(10)	结合上下文和所提供的选项可知，妈妈很不情愿地把我送到我要去的地方。
(11)	注意情景的跳跃与转换。“你好，你是Jenkins小姐吗？”显然这里是面试的考官在和我打招呼，因此选C。
(12)	结合语境判断选A，我刚从医院赶过来，医生说我患了面部神经麻痹，可能这种情况会持续几天才会恢复。
(13)	处于这样的状态，还能来参加面试，可见作者是真有毅力。
(14)	从四个动词选项看，本题应该选C，comment评论，评价。这句话是他对我抱病参加面试的评价。
(15)	从下文考官的话可知他是在看我的申请表。
(16)	从下文作者的回答(是的)判断选A，考官问道：你这份申请表上提供的信息都是准确的吧？其他选项normal正常的；incredible难以置信的；contradictory相矛盾的，均不符合语境。
(17)	结合语境，此处意为：不过在申请表中我忘了说，我的打字速度是每分钟75个。
(18)	既然背景给人的印象深刻，而且有相关的工作经历，那么作者“当然”符合条件了。
(19)	你什么时候可以来报到上班呢？这里用available表示“可以得到的，可用的”。
(20)	显然，作者的勇气与毅力也就是她坚毅的性格给考官留下了深刻的印象。
