36. A 根據前面的句子可知，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 根據下面的句子“禁果誘人”可判斷，上下文之間是轉折關系，所以選擇but。

38. C 根據下文第50個空所在的句子中出現的hungry一詞可判斷，此處選擇hungrier，表示“他越看那只蘋果就越覺得肚子餓”。

39. B 為了夠到那只蘋果，小男孩踮起腳尖，盡可能把身體伸展到較高的程度。expand擴大，擴充，擴展;stretch伸展，舒展;swing擺動，搖動;pull拉，扯，拔。

40. D 根據語境可知，小男孩是站著伸手去夠蘋果，因此此處指的是身體的高度，不是力量、長度或范圍。

41. A 根據生活常識可判斷，既然小男孩站著夠不到蘋果，他只能開始上下跳躍。

42. C 每次跳到較高的時候，小男孩就伸長了胳膊去夠蘋果。at the top of在……頂部或頂端。

43. D 根據下文可知，小男孩最終沒有摘到蘋果。out of reach是固定短語，意為“手夠不著, 達不到”。

44. B 根據下文內容可知，小男孩沒有放棄，他想如果自己踩在某些東西上面就能夠到蘋果了。

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

46. D 根據上下文內容可知，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;with luck如果一切順利的話;其他兩個介詞不能與luck搭配。

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

49. B 沒有辦法摘到蘋果，小男孩只好失望地走開。walk away走開。

50. C 根據上文可知，小男孩做了很多努力，因此耗盡了力氣，覺得又累又餓。

51. A 此處表示他越是這樣想，就越覺得不開心。

52. B 根據上下文內容可知，此處存在的是轉折關系，所以選擇however“然而，可是”。

53. D 根據下文內容可知，小男孩開始理智地看待自己遇到的問題，覺得生氣、失望、難過等都沒有幫助，不能從根本上解決問題。

54. D 結合上文內容可知，小男孩清醒地認識到自己已經沒有其他法子可用了，蘋果也不會得到了。

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