解析：

(1)	他徑直朝發(fā)電塔走去。此處head是動詞，意為“出發(fā)；動身”。
(2)	根據(jù)下一句的前半句可知他有精神病，沒有“意識到”高壓線的危險。
(3)	本句前半句提到他患有精神病，所以很多行為都是無意識的，是迫不得已的做法。
(4)	根據(jù)下一句中的his thoughts可判斷此項正確。
(5)	本段開頭部分提到發(fā)電塔有125英尺高，所以他想爬上塔頂，體驗“飛”的感覺。
(6)	他哥哥時刻守護著他，確保他不會受到任何“傷害”。B項多指刀傷、槍傷等，不符合常識。
(7)	他哥哥這一次沒有意識到弟弟不見了。happen to do sth表示“碰巧發(fā)生某事”，不符合所給語境。
(8)	此處clear表示“清理”。remove表示“除掉；拿走”，不符合常識；后兩項分別表示“克服”“占據(jù)”，不符合題意。
(9)	make one's way是固定搭配，表示“朝前走”。他爬塔不是為了“旅游”，所以后三項可排除。
(10)	到James“發(fā)現(xiàn)”John的時候，John已經(jīng)爬到非常高的位置了。最后一項表示“認出；識別出”，明顯錯誤。
(11)	James知道發(fā)電塔的“危險”。
(12)	他們兩人都在高空，所以James盡力不往“下”看，以減少內(nèi)心的恐懼感。因為稍不留心就會從高空摔下來粉身碎骨。
(13)	James終于“到達”了弟弟身邊，并用右手緊緊地抓住他。fetch表示“去拿來”，表示已經(jīng)把他帶到地面，顯然錯誤。
(14)	塔上只有兄弟二人，并且他讓兩人都固定，所以用both。
(15)	此處as強調動作同時發(fā)生，即他們兩人在只有三英寸的彈丸之地熬過了數(shù)個小時。
(16)	James唱歌“平靜”自己怦怦跳的心，同時也吸引弟弟的注意。rest表示“使休息”；resist表示“抵制”，均不符合題意。
(17)	他們兩人在高空中，因此援救行動在“下面”開始。
(18)	直升飛機在頭頂盤旋，急救卡車飛奔“現(xiàn)場”。
(19)	兄弟二人隨時都有生命危險，如今安然無恙地被送回地面，觀眾自然為之“歡呼”。
(20)	解析：他們見證了一個17歲男孩的“勇敢”。 　　文章大意：一個神智不清的10歲男孩爬上了高聳入云的發(fā)電塔，想要觸摸藍天并體驗飛翔的感覺。年僅17的哥哥不顧個人的生命安危，毅然爬了上去，在高空演繹了一個驚心動魄而又感人至深的故事。
