【解析】文章主要讲述了我最敬佩的英雄Jessica Watson在16岁独自穿过太平洋、大西洋、印度洋的励志故事。

1.句意：当Jessica 只有16岁的时候，她就离开澳大利亚的悉尼独自穿越太平洋、大西洋和印度洋。根据句意她离开悉尼和sailed 航海，所以应该是穿越太平洋、大西洋和印度洋，cross动词，横穿；across介词，穿过；因为sailed是动词，动词+across相当于cross.故选E

2.句意：她在2010年5月返回到悉尼。根据上文left Sydeney 离开悉尼，可知这里应该是回到悉尼。故选A

3.句意：我很尊敬她因为她勇敢的独自面对困难和危险。根据上文hen she was only sixteen years old , Jessica left Sydeney , Australia and sailed across the Pacific , Atlantic and India Oceans all by herself .当Jessica 只有16岁的时候，她就离开澳大利亚的悉尼独自穿越太平洋、大西洋和印度洋。可知16岁就独自穿越太平洋、大西洋和印度洋是多么的勇敢。故选B

4.句意：澳大利亚人为她如此感到骄傲称呼她为“我们的最新的澳大利亚英雄”。根据句意和上下文应是为她感到骄傲，be proud of 为---而骄傲，是固定搭配。故选C
