【解析】

本文主要介绍了彼得和詹姆斯弟兄两人机智捉贼的故事。彼得和詹姆斯放学后，看见他们的屋里有个男人，詹姆斯出去报了警，警察来时，这个男人想跑，但是最终警察把这个男人逮住了，他们的父母也回到了家。

1.句意：一天下午当课结束时，他们待在学校帮助他们的老师。

根据后面“they stayed in school to help their teacher. 他们待在学校帮助他们的老师。”结合前面的“the lessons were over”结合句意和语境可知是“当课结束时”，是时间状语从句。故填when。

2.句意：他们工作了一个小时。

根据空前“worked”与空后的“an hour”可知，是前面动作持续了一个小时，此时用介词for引出时间段，“他们工作了一个小时。”符合句意与语境。故填for。

3.句意：当男孩们到家时，已经七点钟了。

根据后面的“it was seven o'clock”结合空后单词home，可知是“到家”；根据所学get to 是到达的意思，根据“it was seven o'clock”是一般过去时，可知“到家”用过式got to； home是地点的副词，got to当接地点的副词（here，there和home）要省略后面的介词to，所以到家是got home。故填got。

4.句意：在他们的房间里有一盏灯，门是开着的。

根据第三段“Come in!进来”结合语境可知，空处是说门开着；open有两种词性：1.动词，开；2.形容词，开放的。根据前面的be动词was可知后面用形容词，the door was open符合语境。故填open。

5.句意：这会是谁呢？

根据后面“Father and mother have gone shopping. They won’t be home by eight o'clock.”可知父母已经去购物了，他们八点前不会回来，所以这儿是他们猜测“这是谁”，句首字母要大写，“Who can it be?”符合句意和语境。故填Who。

6.句意：当里面的男人看见彼得时，他笑着说，“进来，你不认识我，我是你爸爸的朋友。”

根据第二段“They could see a man inside, too.”及后面“he smiled and said,”结合句意和语境可知，此处是“看见彼得”，根据后面的“he smiled and said”可知应该用过去式saw。故填saw。

7.句意：当里面的男人看见彼得时，他笑着说，“进来，你不认识我，我是你爸爸的朋友。”

根据句意可知这个男人不认识彼得，结合后面的“He asked me to fetch some money for him.他让我来为他取些钱”，结合句意和语境可知是“爸爸的朋友”，your father’s friends符合句意。故填father’s。

8.句意：他很快发现了一个警察，把他带回了他们的家。

根据前文“He soon found a policeman”可知使用过去式；根据句意，找到警察后，目的是把警察带回家，结合空后的“him back to their home”可知是take sb back to sp把某人带回到某处，结合时态可知此处用take的过去式took。故填took。

9.句意：但是当他看到警察的时候，他试图想逃跑。

根据后面“The policeman caught him and held his arm.”可知警察抓住了他，结合句意和语境可知，此处是说他试图逃跑。run away逃跑，固定短语。故填away。

10.句意：就在那时，贝克夫妇，两个男孩的父母回来了。

根据第三段“Father and mother have gone shopping. They won’t be home by eight o'clock.”可知，此时应该是父母回来了，回来come back固定短语。故填back。
