解析：

(1)	行文逻辑推理题。此处，作者是自我责怪，后悔在当时没有告诉校长——“那真的是我的错误。”
(2)	词汇语法题。for some reason意为“由于某种原因”，这一句话提供了事件发生的背景——校长由于某个原因走出了书房。其他选项不符合情景描述。
(4)	生活常识题。这句话的意思是“在桌子中部有一张小纸条，上面写着……”。如果纸条在drawer(抽屉)，corner(角落)和box(箱子)中的话，那是不可能很容易就看到的。
(5)	行文逻辑推理题。“English Writing Prize 1949．History Is a Series of Biographies”是纸条上的内容，要用words表示“话”。messages是最大的干扰项，它主要表示A有意传递给B的信息。
(6)	行文逻辑推理题。作者认为自己的这个行为是不诚实的，所以这句话是一种虚拟的假设，一个诚实的孩子一看到桌子上的这张纸是不会看标题的。
(7)	行文逻辑推理题。前文交代在桌子中部有一张纸条，此处在行文中指代上文提到过的纸条。
(8)	词汇运用题。keep a secret保守秘密。此处的意思为“比赛的作文题目到考试为止一直是保密的”。
(9)	词汇运用题。could not help意为“禁不住”。
(10)	行文逻辑推理题。前文交代校长出去，这儿自然是他回来了。
(11)	词汇运用题。用happened表示校长出去的这段时间中所发生的事情。
(12)	行文逻辑推理和语法运用题。要注意这句话是虚拟语气，这是作者在假设，当时把实情说出来本来会是一件很容易的事情，但他还是没有这样做。
(13)	上下文语境题。此处是作者想说而没有说出来的话——我看到了作文比赛的题目。
(14)	生活常识题。考试前由于题目泄露而改换题目之事是常见的。
(15)	词汇运用题。句意“这个承认错误的机会错过了，我没有把握好时机”。take与chance是固定搭配，意为“利用……机会”。
(16)	行文逻辑推理题。这是作者自我安慰，虽然他是在作弊，而他却认为不是有意的。
(17)	词汇运用题。thirty-eight years ago“三十八年前”。
(18)	语法结构题。句意“我没有把这件事告诉过任何一个人，也没有费过心扪心自问为什么不”。
(19)	语法结构题。要注意这是一个长难句子，核心句式是：not…without…。整句话的意思是“我只要承认我看过桌子上的东西，就一定会看到作文的题目”。
(20)	行文逻辑推理题。前文给出了一个作者没有告诉过别人的解释，后面作者又在说，其实这背后还可有很多解释。
