解析：

16．

通过空前“wasreadyfor”“准备好”以及下文所描述的困难，可知Jenna

已经准备好了迎接高中期间新的“挑战”

且与最后一句相呼应。

17．尽管做了准备，然而，高中还是不一样的。同上文为转折关系。

18．通过上文描述“verytalentedgirls(非常有才华的女孩们)”可知竞争非常激烈，“她”要被选上有些“困难”

19．宣布第二轮选拔赛名单的人应是“裁判员”C项为干扰项"candidate”“申请人，候选人”

20.通过句意可知当名单读完还没有“她”的名字的时候，“她”的心情应该是“沮丧”，选项B“sank”“下沉”与“herheart”

连用，表心情不好。

21.选拔赛失利，“她”当然怀着“不好”的心情回家。选项C“awful”含义为“极坏的

22.通过句中可知，此处为转折的关系，“她”以前很擅长数学，但现在不这样了。选项A“struggling”

含义为“（艰难的）奋斗”

23.通过句意可知，在“她”转学英语与历史后，发现“她”在这些科目上没有遇到麻烦，与前面的数学相比，心情当然是“轻松的”选项D

"relieved”

含义为“宽慰的，放心的”

24.句意

：感觉好多了，“她”决定暂时不再为数学“烦恼”

25．通过第27空所在句中的”newspaper”可找出答案

26．通过的话可知“她”并不像那样对这件事热情，感兴趣。

B“artistic”含义“爱好艺术的，有艺术才能的”C“sympathetic”含义“同情的，表示同情的”

D

“realistic”含义“实事求是的”

27.句意：很抱歉，但我们的报纸已经有足够的作者了。

28．被拒绝，Jenna当然“无力”的一笑。

29．呼应第二段第一句可知，Jenna感叹高中与初中“不同”

30．通过第三段可知，Jenna有问题的是数学，因此，“她”是在数学课上全心解决问题。

31．问题带来的当然是“麻烦”

32．通过上句可知，“她”解决了数学难题，获得了信心，所以，当Jenna收拾课本的时候，“她”决心继续努力的去“适应”新的学校。

33．

“try”与句中succeed相呼应，句意：“她”不确定是否会成功，但“她”知道“她”必须去“尝试”。

34.通过前后两句含义可知“大池塘里的小鱼”同“小池塘里的大鱼”是对比关系，“insteadof““而不是”表对比

35．句意：挑战就在于成为你能成为的最好的鱼。
