(答案→)36---55 DBABC ACDAA CBACD CABDD
解析：
36.knelt down跪下。从上文可以看出那个男孩的东西撒落在地上，所以Mark跪在地上帮他捡起来。而fell down落下；sat down坐下；lay down躺下，均不合题意。答案为D。
37.since引导原因状语从句，因为他们同路，所以他帮他拿一些东西。而although引导让步状语从句，表示转折；after引导时间状语从句，表示动作发生在帮助Bill拿东西后，与短文内容不符；until引导时间状语从句，表示在帮助Bill拿东西时，一直发生的事情，均不合题意。答案为B。
38.discovered发现。后接几个宾语从句，表示Mark对这个男孩有了较多的了解。realized认识到；decided决定。答案为A。
39.根据动词后的宾语可确定应填loved，只有loved后接puter games,baseball and history才有意义。知道他喜欢电脑游戏、棒球和历史。答案为B。
40.have a lot of trouble有很多麻烦。从短文中的最后一段Bill告诉Mark自己想离家出走可判断出他在学业上有很多麻烦。have a lot of questions有很多问题，有很多问题不会引起离家出走，因为每个学生在学习上都有各种各样的问题需要解决。答案为C。
41.break up(尤指关系)结束，破裂。句意是：他和他的女朋友刚刚分手。break out(火灾或战争)爆发；break off折断；break away脱离。答案为A。
42.be invited受到邀请。由于Mark帮助Bill拿东西，所以被Bill邀请喝可乐和看电视。答案为C。
43.peasantly“愉快地”。下文with a few laughs and some shared small talk说明他们过得非常愉快。而peacefully和平地；willingly心甘情愿地；freely自由地，均不合题意。答案为D。
44.下文告诉我们他们的友谊一直持续下去了。答案为A。
45.根据上文and then both ended up from the same high school可判断他们之间的谈话发生在他们毕业的前三周。而movement运动；separation分离；vacation假期，均不合语意。答案为A。
46.could可以，用来征求对方的意见。句意是：Bill问Mark他们是否可以谈一谈。would构成过去将来时，但根据下文可以看出，他们并不是经过一段时间后才交谈，而是马上进行了交谈。答案为C。
47.remind提醒，使想起。Bill使Mark想起几年前他们初次见面的那一天。答案为B 。
48.ever曾经。这句话意思是：你是否曾经想知道那天我为什么带那么多东西回家?带那么
多东西回家是一件反常的事，Bill猜测这可能会引起Mark的迷惑不解。答案为A。
49.clean打扫干净。根据下文I didn't want to leave a mess可判断出他把自己的抽屉洞清理好。check“检查”，把抽屉洞检查一遍，与所提供的情景不符。答案为C。
50.leave sth. for sb.把某物留给某人。句意是：我不想把脏乱留给别人。而leave over省去，略去；leave sth. with sb.把某物交给某人，均不合语意。答案为D。
51.pack收拾(整理)衣物。因为Bill想离家出走，所以他回家收拾东西。答案为C。
52.上文The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk.为做出正确选择提供了重要线索，只是把原句中的名词换成了动名词。playing有一定的干扰作用，一些考生把上文中他们喝可乐、看电视当作线索，做出错误选择。答案为A。
53.根据谓语动词的虚拟语气可判断出应用if。在表示过去的虚拟语气中，if从句中用had+过去分词,主句用 would(could)+动词原形。答案为B。
54.lose a new friend失去了一个新朋友。A项forgotten“忘记”；B项passed“经过”；C项left“离开、留下”，均不符合题意。答案为D。
55.changed my life改变了我的生活。这篇短文告诉我们，在Bill遇到Mark前，他试图离家出走，但后来改变了主意。所以Bill说是Mark的帮助改变了他的生活。improve my life改善我的生活，表示生活水平的提高，与原文不符。答案为D。
