【解析】【1】 根据文章第一句和But表示转折，可知Bobby多次爬到山顶的尝试总以“失败”告终。

【2】 根据he became weak的语境，可知到后来，他没了力气，注意力也转移到了已经被磨破的鞋子上，“而不是”山峰上。

【3】 根据Finally, when the clouds gathered around him以及前后文的语境，可知Bobby知道他不能“到达”山顶了。

【4】 Bobby知道他不能到达山顶了，泄了气，故坐下来，然后就“放弃”了。

【5】 根据Halfway to the top和said Peeper before he went back可知配镜师Peeper“陪伴”Bobby爬了会儿山。

【6】根据后文的Peeper had made a light picture on the glasses可知这是一副“特别的”眼镜。

【7】Peeper建议Bobby在云彩聚集的时候把眼镜戴上，是因为他知道这副眼镜可以“帮到”他。

【8】这是Peeper送给Bobby的“礼物”。

【9】 根据Just as nearly always seemed to happen可知跟以前一样，坏运气又“回来”了。

【10】 根据Bobby把眼镜戴上的语境，可知他想起了Peeper所说的“话”。

【11】 根据第三段的they seemed so light知道他“仍然”能看到云。

【12】 根据后文the mountain below was surrounded by a sea of clouds的语境，可知Bobby是“透过”云层看到了山峰。

【13】 根据下句的He felt great可知Bobby“终于”到达了山顶。

【14】根据云层环绕着山的语境，可知Bobby很“惊讶”。

【15】 根据上文的so light that he could see the top of the mountain知道他记得爬山时的云没有这么“厚”。

【16】 根据倒数第二段可知Bobby仔细观察眼镜后，终于“明白”了是怎么回事。

【17】 根据前文Bobby抬头能看到山顶的语境，可知眼镜上有山顶的图案，故选B。

【18】图片是在镜片上，所以抬起头来时只能是“看到”眼镜上的那个图案。

【19】根据文章最后一句的help him … impossible知道他“意识到了”问题所在。

【20】 根据倒数第二段Peeper had made a light picture on the glasses知道，这是一个小“诡计”。
