(答案→)D
解析：
【小题1】考查形容词。从下文He was at the top可推知这个男孩在被送到寄宿学校“前”，是班上最“聪明的(brightest)”学生。
【小题2】考查名词。根据后句话He was a champion可只是在比赛petition中。
【小题3】考查动词。根据语境可知这个男孩在离开家上了寄宿学校之后改变了。
【小题4】考查名词。他的成绩开始下滑。grade分数。从下文的叙述中可知，男孩在新的环境中经历了情绪上的波动，一度甚至想要自杀，故知他的成绩是下降了。
【小题5】考查形容词。从后文所述“他不喜欢在一个集体”里“可推知他很孤独” 。
【小题6】考查动词。句意为：有一段尤其黑暗的时光，那时他意欲自杀。与前面的dark times 相呼应，此处应填贬义词。
【小题7】考查形容词。从本句中“and no one loved him”可知此空应填worthless (无用的)。
【小题8】考查名词。他的变化太大，父母开始担心他。结合his dad decided to可知。
【小题9】考查副词。但是他们甚至不知道孩子怎么了。even用来加强语气。
【小题10】考查连词。他们甚至不知道孩子怎么了，因此父亲去学校和儿子进行一次谈话。
【小题11】考查介词。 on the bank of在……边上。
【小题12】考查形容词。根据下文“to check my grades?（来‘检查’我的成绩吗？）”可知在此处dad并没有问他学习、分数这些严肃的话题，而是问了一些随意的问题。
【小题13】考查名词。结合37解析：与学习无关。
【小题14】考查疑问词。根据下文“to check my grades?（来‘检查’我的成绩吗？）”可知在此处dad问儿子“你知道来的原因吗”。
【小题15】考查动词短语。 answer back顶嘴。
【小题16】考查代词。从下文父亲说的话可推知，他认为孩子对他来说才是最重要的，他只在乎孩子的快乐，而不是他的学习和分数。
【小题17】考查名词。从父亲说的话可推知，孩子对他来说才是最重要的，孩子就是他的生命。
【小题18】考查动词。从文章所描述的情节中可看出，男孩听了他父亲的一番话后，眼里充满了泪水，这是幸福和感动的泪水，因此他“拥抱”了他的父亲。
【小题19】考查名词。this earth 与下面的the world相呼应。
【小题20】考查动词。结合YOU ARE MY 42 .”可知男孩对他父亲来说就是整个世界。mean意味着；即是。
