36. A 根據(jù)前面的句子可知，男孩并不是很喜歡吃水果，因此如果要他選擇的話，他更喜歡吃一塊巧克力。

37. C 根據(jù)下面的句子“禁果誘人”可判斷，上下文之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以選擇but。

38. C 根據(jù)下文第50個(gè)空所在的句子中出現(xiàn)的hungry一詞可判斷，此處選擇hungrier，表示“他越看那只蘋(píng)果就越覺(jué)得肚子餓”。

39. B 為了夠到那只蘋(píng)果，小男孩踮起腳尖，盡可能把身體伸展到最高的程度。expand擴(kuò)大，擴(kuò)充，擴(kuò)展；stretch伸展，舒展；swing擺動(dòng)，搖動(dòng)；pull拉，扯，拔。

40. D 根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，小男孩是站著伸手去夠蘋(píng)果，因此此處指的是身體的高度，不是力量、長(zhǎng)度或范圍。

41. A 根據(jù)生活常識(shí)可判斷，既然小男孩站著夠不到蘋(píng)果，他只能開(kāi)始上下跳躍。

42. C 每次跳到最高的時(shí)候，小男孩就伸長(zhǎng)了胳膊去夠蘋(píng)果。at the top of在……頂部或頂端。

43. D 根據(jù)下文可知，小男孩最終沒(méi)有摘到蘋(píng)果。out of reach是固定短語(yǔ)，意為“手夠不著, 達(dá)不到”。

44. B 根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，小男孩沒(méi)有放棄，他想如果自己踩在某些東西上面就能夠到蘋(píng)果了。

45. A 小男孩身上背著書(shū)包，可他不想弄壞里面裝的東西。break在此處表示“弄壞，折斷”。

46. D 根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知，為了找到能踩在腳下的東西，小男孩四處環(huán)顧。look around四處環(huán)顧。

47. B 小男孩希望自己能夠找到一個(gè)舊箱子，一塊大石頭，或者，如果順利的話，能找到一架梯子。for luck為了吉利，為了祈求好運(yùn)；with luck如果一切順利的話；其他兩個(gè)介詞不能與luck搭配。

48. C 小男孩嘗試了所有的方法，在眼看沒(méi)有任何其他選擇的情況下，小男孩只好放棄了。

49. B 沒(méi)有辦法摘到蘋(píng)果，小男孩只好失望地走開(kāi)。walk away走開(kāi)。

50. C 根據(jù)上文可知，小男孩做了很多努力，因此耗盡了力氣，覺(jué)得又累又餓。

51. A 此處表示他越是這樣想，就越覺(jué)得不開(kāi)心。

52. B 根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知，此處存在的是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以選擇however“然而，可是”。

53. D 根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，小男孩開(kāi)始理智地看待自己遇到的問(wèn)題，覺(jué)得生氣、失望、難過(guò)等都沒(méi)有幫助，不能從根本上解決問(wèn)題。

54. D 結(jié)合上文內(nèi)容可知，小男孩清醒地認(rèn)識(shí)到自己已經(jīng)沒(méi)有其他法子可用了，蘋(píng)果也不會(huì)得到了。

55. A 小男孩的反省也是文章主題的升華：面對(duì)無(wú)法解決的問(wèn)題，我們可以做到的就是改變自己的情感態(tài)度。
