解析：
【小题1】细节理解题。由 “A worldwide bestseller, translated into eighteen languages, it remains one of the most highly-praised books of our age.”可知答案为C。
【小题2】判断正误题。由 “…she's determined not to let anything get in the way of Jade's success. So when Jade starts dating Dicey, there is hell to pay.”可知Jojo不愿意让Jade成为她过去的那个样子故答案为C。
【小题3】句子理解题。Jade的妈妈Jojo年轻时为了Jade放弃了她钟爱的事业，为了不让Jade重蹈覆辙，她不让任何事情干涉生活，当Jojo得知她的女儿交男朋友时，她极力阻止，制造麻烦，干预他们的生活。故答案为B。
【小题4】从Women, Race & Class 中 “…Davis casts new light on the struggle for human rights.” 可知答案为A。Marie Cardinal是作者的名字。
【小题5】The Words to Say it这本书是自转题小说,作者描写了自己的亲身经历。这正是这本书的与众不同之处。
