解析:

 本文主要从以下几个时期介绍了“朋友”的概念：在幼儿园时给你一支红蜡笔的人就是好朋友；在小学陪你去洗澡等的人也是好朋友；在中等学校(secondary school)与你一起去参加晚会的人也是好朋友；上大学前帮助你挑选并进入大学的人也是你的好友……

1. A 结合全文可看出，此处说的是“在小学时”你对好朋友的概念或看法，即 your idea of a good friend。

2. C 从 as you walked through the scary(可怕的) halls(当你走过可怕的大厅时)可推测此处应填 held，也就是说“攥紧你的手”(让你不要害怕)。

3. C 结合下文“……当你把午饭忘在公交车上时”可知该题选择shared，即“与你一起分享他们的午餐”。

4. D “leave… + 地点状语”表示“把……忘在……”此句意为“当你把你的午饭忘在了公交车上时”。yours 在此指的是 your lunch。

5. B 从 on the back of the bus for you 来看，此处说的是“为你在车后部给你占座位”，故用 seat。

6. C 此处选 who，它引导的是一个宾语从句(不是定语从句)，该句意思为：知道你迷恋谁，但从没有理解为什么。

7. B 前面提到了幼儿园、小学，后面又提到了 pre-university(上大学前)，而 college(大学)又在 pre-university 之后，故选择 secondary。secondary school 意为“中学”。

8. D 从搭配上看，此处应用 copy。check one’s homework 意为“检查作业”，而 copy one’s homework 意为“抄作业”。从孩提时对朋友的看法来看用 copy 更合乎这一时期的学生心理。

9. B 根据“和你一块去参加很‘酷’的晚会”和“你不会以新手而结束”可知，前句为原因，后句为结果，也就是说前后为因果关系，故选择so。

10. D 此句指“他们不让你独自吃午餐”。“独自”是指客观上的一个人，故选alone。

11. D 从后面 in their new car 来看，rides 为最佳答案，即“让你搭乘他们的新车”。

12. D 前面说：你和 Nick 或 Susan 分手，再结合后面括号中的(both without dates)，可知此处选择 date，意为“找个日期去舞会或与你一块去舞会来安慰你”。

13. D 前面说“帮你选择大学”，可推测下句为“让你有信心进入这所大学”，故用 university。

14. C 在此，deal with 应理解为“关照”。主句意为“帮助你照看你父母”，可推知你走后父母的日子相对来说比较艰辛，故用 hard。

15. D 写到这里应该是成年人时期了，故用 adulthood。

16. B 此处选择 when，它引导一个时间状语从句。该句意思为：当你不能在家照顾父母时好朋友却在那里(照顾你父母)。

17. A 在第 2 段中曾提到“你和 Nick 或 Susan”分手，这里是说“你和 Nick 或 Susan又言归于好(be back together)”。

18. A 此处说的是与以前的 Nick 或 Susan 恢复了关系，再结合下文at 18 years of memories 可知此处应选 looked，look at 为“看到”，即 looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories(透过模糊的双眼看到了 18 年来的思念或记忆)。

19. C 在这里是说“让你相信就像这 18 年(获得爱情)一样你一定能成功”。make it 为短语，意为“成功地做到；达到目的”。

20. D 从上下文来看，此处说的是“最重要的是送你上大学并让你懂得有人爱你”。send off 为“为……送行”，send sb off to 意为“送……去……”。
