解析:

这是一篇趣味性记叙文。作者通过一件小事描写了祖母和祖父的两个截然不同的处理方法。表现出祖母脾气蛮横，祖父性格温和。人物性格鲜明突出。

36．B    前文说她邀请了一些亲戚朋友到公寓里聚会。此处表示：在这些客人中。

37．D    由a neighborhood big shot可知：是做生意发了财的大款。do well in sth.在……方面很出色。

38．A    因家里有钱以及下文的and very much used to getting her own way可知：他们的小女儿被宠得非常娇气，脾气很蛮横。spoil宠坏，溺爱。

39．A    晚会进行中，我走进了洗手间并随手把门关上。make one’s way to向……走去。Find one’s way 找到去……的路；push one’s way 挤出……的路；wind one’s way 蜿蜒前进。

40．B    由and grandly walked in得知：那个小女孩推开洗手间的门。

41．C    be supposed to do sth. 理应做……；应该做……。句意为：“难道你不知道当一个男孩在使用洗手间的时候女孩子是不可以进来的吗！？

42．D    由上文得知：男孩很生气。

43．A    听到我生气的吼声，她一下子惊呆了，然后她边哭边向她的父母和我的祖母告状。

44．B    当我从洗手间出来，祖母劈头盖脸地把我骂了一通。

45．C    等她骂完叫我滚开之后，晚会继续进行。dismiss使退去，退下，解散。

46．D    当祖母从洗手间走过的时候，她发现有股水流从门缝里涌出来。

47．A    她猛力地撞开洗手间的门，发现洗手盆和浴缸都被塞子塞住了。

48．B    水龙头被拧到最大，水正哗啦啦地直流。

49．C    每个人都知道是谁搞的鬼，愤怒的祖母使劲地挥舞着双手要打我，客人们马上在我周围形成了一堵人墙保护我。productive多产的；protective 保护性的。

50．A    此处是so…that 句型，表示“如此愤怒，（尽管有人墙保护）差点打了我”。

51．B    祖父牵着我的手来到窗前。表示牵着/抓着某人的手或其它部位的句型为：主语+ take / catch / hold / get etC．+sB．+ 介词by +the +身体某部位。此处的the 不能用his, her, my代替。by surprise，with anxiety与句子意义不符。

52．D    此处进一步讲述祖父是个什么样的人。由上文He was a kind and gentle man, full of wisdom and patience可知：他很少提高嗓门和别人说话。从句子结构上分析，此处是倒装形式，只有否定意义的副词位于句首才能倒装。

53．A    由上文kind and gentle man可知：他也从来没有和祖母吵架。

54．C    由下文意义可知祖父的反映是：没有半点生气或烦恼的样子。

55．B    此处表示“祖母她先无缘无故地骂了我一顿”，这回小男孩故意捣乱之后让她骂就

有理由了。
