1.句意：现在设想，你在聚光灯下面临所有这些问题。

advise 建议；remember 记住；notice 注意到；imagine设想。根据上文"Growing up is hard for everyone"和"We all face lots of stress as teenagers"可知，长大成人对大家来说是很难的。作为青少年，我们都面临很多压力。现在设想，你在聚光灯下面临所有这些问题。故选D。

2.句意：这就是加拿大歌手贾斯汀•毕博在他成长过程中不得不面对的问题。

how怎样；what什么；which哪个（些）；who谁。根据上文"Now imagine facing all of that stress while being in the spotlight"可知这就是加拿大歌手贾斯汀•毕博在他成长过程中不得不面对的问题。空格处为表语从句的宾语，且代指事物（事情），故用what表语从句。故选B。

3.句意：当他在13岁时，首先被一名音乐制作人发现。

discovered发现；impressed给……留下印象；met遇见；developed发展。根据下文"He became a superstar within just a few years"可知，当他在13岁时，首先被一名音乐制作人发现。他在几年内成为超级明星。故选A。

4.句意：然而，看起来他已经把麻烦抛诸脑后。

around在……周围；inside在……里面；behind在……后面；among在……之中。根据上文"But at the time of his success,he is also fighting with mental illness and drug abuse"可知，但是在成功的同时，他也跟精神疾病和吸毒做斗争。然而，看起来他已经把麻烦抛诸脑后。put…behind抛诸脑后。故选C。

5.句意：在聚光灯下成长确实是具有挑战性。

personal 私人的；worrying令人担忧的；challenging具有挑战意味的；powerful强有力的。根据下文"I made every bad decision you could have thought of and went from one of the most loved people"可知，他在本应该好好考虑的时候却做出了不好的决定，并且离开了自己最心爱的人之一，故知本句句意是：毕博最近在Instagram网站上写了一个帖子说，在聚光灯下成长确实是具有挑战性。故选C。

6.句意：我从一个13岁的小男孩从一个小镇成长为一个受到全世界赞扬的男孩。

to 到；into进入；against反对；without没有。根据语境可知，从我13岁离开小镇，从作为世界上最被人所爱戴的人之一……到（变成）世界上最被人讨厌的人。from…to从……到。故选A。

9.句意：比伯并不是唯一一个因为年纪轻轻就出名而面临压力的人。

famous 著名的；important 重要的；valuable有价值的；different不同的。根据下文"Actors Edward Furlong and Macaulay Culkin saw their lives take a downward turn after they succeeded in Hollywood during their childhoods"可知，他在几年内成为超级明星。毕博并不是唯一一个年少成名而面临压力的人。演员埃德加•弗隆和麦考利•卡尔金在青少年时期于好莱坞成功后，他们的生活走了下坡路。故选A。

10.句意：公众的关注使小孩子难以这样做。
