解析：

(1)	work out计算出；work at在……工作；work into插进；work on从事，故选B项。
(4)	故事本身所具有的特性，故用-ing分词形容词，puzzling“令人迷惑的”；amazing“使人大为惊奇的”，故选amazing。
(11)	显然指Liz，故A与D错误，throw oneself into“投身于”，devote oneself to(不与into)“献身于”。

提示：

(2)	句意为“她在挣扎着寻找……”，故用struggled。
(3)	句意为“获得高额奖学金”，故用副词highly修饰形容词competitive。
(5)	电影被展示，用过去分词。
(6)	“毅力和决心的真实生活”，表示所属关系，用of。
(7)	否定形式的并列，用or。
(8)	“当时她刚好15岁”，when＝at that time。
(9)	lie in“存在于”；lead to“导致”；refer to“谈到”；stick to“坚持”。
(10)	“在……环境中成长”，用介词in与关系代词which(指环境)连用。
(12)	what引导的主语从句，what在从句中作主语。
(13)	respect“尊敬”；compare“比较”；experience“经历”；content“使满足”。
(14)	根据上下文，显然指别人others。
(15)	根据上文，用来鼓励自己，表示目的。
(16)	“没什么能让我颓废的。”hold down“压制，垂下”。
(17)	显然是指比预计的毕业时间要早，故用比较级earlier。
(18)	非限制性定语从句，作主语，指人，故用who。
(19)	once in a while “偶尔”；time and time again“又一次”；at the same time“同时”；all the time“始终”。
(20)	that引导的同位语从句，解释说明idea。
