解答 EFCGD 
36．E 推理題．根據(jù)后面的句子When it is time for teenage boys to become men，a‘crocodile ceremony （儀式）'takes place可知，在這個部落青少年要成為男人必須舉行鱷魚儀式，所以那里的人認為鱷魚成就了人類，故選E．
37．F 細節(jié)題．根據(jù)該段的第一句The boys are taken to a small room called…男孩被帶入叫做鱷魚窩的屋子里，所以下句應該并列，即The boys are told to…故選F．
38．C 細節(jié)題．根據(jù)前句The boys play the drums together during their t ime in the room可知，男孩子們在屋里一起打鼓，這有助于他們覺得自己不是一個人，故選C．
39．G 細節(jié)題．前面提到The Niowra believe that this ceremony makes the boys stronger and braver…他們認為這個儀式讓男孩更強壯，所以下文承接提到他們還說…故選G．
40．D 歸納題．最后一段Then the crocodile men enter the world of adults and are given adult responsibilities in the village男孩真正進入男人的世界并給予責任，所以這應該是發(fā)生在儀式結束的時候，故選D．

點評 考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
