【解析】

本文讲述了一个叫做Mark的中学生遇见了一个叫做Bill的男孩，他们都是中学生，他们彼此从偶然遇见到熟悉对方到最后成为好朋友，后来Mark才知道自己不仅仅是Bill的朋友，还帮他走出了抑郁，是他们之间的友情拯救了Bill。

1.

句意：他看见了在前面的一个男孩。

heard听说；beat打败；saw看见；answered回答。根据下文“He had dropped all of his books and clothes. Mark helped the boy pick them up and offered to carry some for him.”可以发现他看见了前面那个男孩的书掉在了地上并且去帮他捡起来，Mark首先要看见男孩的书掉了才能做出后面帮他捡书的行为，故选C。

2.

句意：Mark去帮那个男孩把书捡起来并且帮他拿一些书。

for给；to向；at在；on在……上。考查动词carry的短语搭配，A项for与carry搭配的意思是为某人拿些某物；B项to与carry搭配的意思为拿一些某物给某人；C项at一般不与carry搭配；D项on与carry搭配的意思为继续，根据原句意思发现这里应该是Mark给男孩提供帮助，帮他拿一些书，故选A。

3.

句意：他喜欢电子游戏，棒球和历史，但是他在其他的一些科目学习上有困难。

fun有趣的；trouble有困难的；stories故事；experience经验。根据“He loved video games, baseball and history, but he was having with his other subjects.”可知他喜欢游戏，棒球和历史，后面的连接词用的but来表示转折，这说明了but后面的东西是他不擅长的，所以能推断出这里他在其他的科目学习上有困难，故选B。

4.

句意：在欢声笑语中这个下午愉快地过去了，Mark之后就回家了。

badly拙劣地；angrily生气地；sadly伤心地；happily愉快地。根据原句的后半句“with a few laughs and some talk, then Mark went home.”可知这个下午是伴随着欢声笑语的，所以可以推断出这个下午是很愉快的，故选D。

5.

句意：他们继续在学校见面，每一周或者两周一起吃饭，之后他们两个都毕业了。

both两者都；all所有；either任何一个；neither两者都不。根据前文“They continued to see each other at school他们继续在学校见面。”可以从each other中发现他们是两个人，所以选择both两个都，故选A。

6.

句意：你知道那一天我为什么带那么多东西吗？

when什么时候；why为什么；where在哪里；how如何。根据后文“You see, I took away all my things from . I had taken some of my mother’s sleeping pills and I was going home to myself.”可知后面是Bill在向Mark解释他为什么带着那么多东西的原因，所以这里是选why表示询问原因，故选B。

7.

句意：你看见了，我把所有的东西都从学校带走。

home家；school学校；restaurant餐厅；factory工厂。根据前文“Mark was walking home from school one day. He saw a boy in front of him马克走在放学回家的路上，在前面看见了一个男孩。 ”可知他们都是从学校回家，所以应该是把东西从学校带走，故选B。

8.

句意：我带了妈妈的一些安眠药，我准备回家自杀。

teach教育；help帮助；kill杀害；ask询问。根据前面的“You see, I took away all my things from school. I had taken some of my mother’s sleeping pills我把所有的东西都从学校带回家并且我带了妈妈的安眠药。”可知Bill已经做好了自杀的准备而且安眠药是一般用来自杀的最常见药品，所以这里可以推断出他想要自杀，所以才会带安眠药，故选C。

9.

句意：我可能会失去一个新朋友并且失去许多美好的日子。

hard 困难的；uncomfortable不舒服的；wrong错误的；good美好的。联系前文“But after we spent some time together talking and laughing”可以发现Bill和他的朋友Mark在一起的日子是充满笑声的，所以他们在一起的日子是美好的，故选D。

10.

句意：你拯救了我的生命。

life生命；money 金钱；time时间；energy能量。根据前文“ I had taken some of my mother’s sleeping pills and I was going home to kill myself. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had done that, I would have missed a new friend and so many good times.”可知Bill本来打算吃安眠药在家里自杀，但是后面遇见了Mark，并和他成为了朋友，他才没有自杀，所以Bill说是Mark拯救了他的生命，故选A。
