36---55    DCBAB   ABCDB   CADAB   CDCDA  

解析:

36. D。從文章來看，孩子們跑來跑去，是高興、興奮的表現(xiàn)，所以他們“興奮地”叫喊著。

37. C。由句子Maureen stood by the lake可知“他們是朝湖跑了過來”。

38. B。根據(jù)意思“有些孩子大聲嚷嚷要去坐船，但突然，那些在小攤那兒的人跑了過來”可知。

39. A。由句子They were __8__ things again. The toy stall was __9__ and they were crowded around it可知“他們離開了水，又返回到小攤”。

40. B。這句話意思是“順著他們來的路回去。”  

41. A。由When she __7__ what had been running for, she stopped running可知Maureen跟著他們跑了一陣。

42. B。后面幾句話描寫的都是Maureen“看到”的。

43. C。上文提到“有些孩子在小攤那兒”，可知“他們買過東西”，現(xiàn)在又在“買”。

44. D。由句子a calm middle-aged woman was selling a great variety of small rubbish可知“小攤開門營業(yè)”。

45. B。由The toy stall was __9__ and they were crowded around it可推知中年婦女的位置是在“小攤”的后面。

46. C。從in exchanging for…來看，是用錢來交換東西。

47. A。由最后一句She rubbed almost round the tree, her eyes on the ground可知，當(dāng)時“她靠著一棵樹”。

48. D。比較四個選項，spending最符合語境，這句話的意思是“花錢的想法如同強(qiáng)流一般，沖洗著她的臉。

49. A。這句話意思是“放下剛才買的東西，好騰出手看錢包還有多少錢”。

50. B。由句子Maureen leaned against a __12__, looking on 可知Maureen一直在看著。

51. C。從句子She shut her eyes and __18__ eagerly for some money, for the price of a set toy plates可知“Maureen渴望這些東西”。

52. D。前面說“她靠著樹”，現(xiàn)在又“臉朝樹”，所以判斷“她轉(zhuǎn)過了頭”。

53. C。Maureen渴望那些東西，所以閉上眼睛“祈禱”。

54. D。根據(jù)意思“一會兒，她睜開了眼睛，但是她沒有轉(zhuǎn)過身去看小攤”可知。

55. A�？吹搅似渌�孩子買到了所想要的東西，而自己又沒錢買，因此她很“難受”。
