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。看到了其他孩子買到了所想要的東西，而自己又沒錢買，因此她很“難受”。
