解析:

本文主要讲一个想离家出走的小男孩与一个不期而遇的校友的友谊故事。

1. D。从前文可知，Bill 所带的书、棒球拍等撒落一地，此时 Mark 帮 Bill 捡起这些东西，比较四个选项，只有 D 最合适。kneel down 意为“跪下”、“屈膝蹲下”。

2. B。since 表原因。此处句意为“因为他们同路，所以 Mark 帮 Bill 提一些东西”。

3. A。比较四个选项，只有 A 较合适。discover 意为“发现”、“了解到”。注：本段后面的几个以 that 开头的句子均为动词 discovered 的宾语(从句)。

4. B。能同时接 computer games, baseball, history 作宾语的只有 loved 最合适。注意不能选 played，因为它虽然可说 played computer games, 但不能说 played baseball, 也不能说 played history。

5. C。本处谈到的几个情况是为下文提到的 Bill 想离家出走作铺垫——喜欢打游戏、功课不好、与女朋友分手等。

6. A。break up 是固定短语，有许多意思，如表示：停止，散开，拆开，分解，衰弱，(精神)崩溃，解散，打断，断交，绝交，破裂，(天气)突然变化，使苦恼，结束，(学校期末)放假，等等。在此句中它表示“分手”。

7. C。比较四个选项，同时联系到他们现在的这种关系，选 invited 较合适。

8. D。根据空格后的 with a few laughs and some shared small talk，以及后面讲到的 Bill 因为 Mark 的巨大改变，可推知此应填 pleasantly。

9. A。这次不期而遇之后，他们还有时见面，说明这是在 continued。

10. A。此题可用排除法做：比较四个选项并结合全文内容，可知此处填 graduation 最合适。

11. C。此题填 could 意思最通顺，即“Bill 问 Mark 他们是否可以(could)谈谈”。

12. B。remind sb of sth 是固定搭配，意为“提醒某人想起某事”。

13. A。ever 意为“曾经”，常用于否定句、疑问句等句型中。

14. C。clean out 是固定短语，意为“清理”、“把…打扫干净”。其后的 locker 指“(有锁的)存物箱”。

15. D。介词 for 在此表示“给”、“为”。此句的语境是：我之所以把存物箱清理干净，是因为我不想把不一片脏乱留给其他任何人。

16. C。根据此处语境并比较四个选项，此处应填 packed。句意为“我本想离家出走的，我当时回家是为了把(要带走的)东西包装好”。

17. A。根据上文(第8空后)提到的 with a few laughs and some shared small talk 可知此处应是 talking and laughing。

18. B。if 在此引出一个虚拟条件句，该句的通常词序是 I realized that I would have lost a new friend… if I had done that.

19. D。lose a new friend 在此指失去一位像 Mark 这样的朋友。

20. D。Mark 一个小小的帮助，使得 Bill 打消了离家出走的想法，甚至还使他有了不少 laughing 和 fun 等，这说明 Mark 改变了 Bill 的生活。
