答案及解析：
36. B 根据前文“I have two older brothers”可知“我”有两个哥哥，所以“我”是家里最小的孩子。“fattest”意为“最胖的”;“youngest”意为“最年轻的，最小的”;“rudest”意为“最粗鲁的”;“strongest”意为“最强壮的”。结合语境，这里应该选“youngest”。
37. A 这里说的是Matt和Martin两个人的发型，用形容词性物主代词“their”来修饰“short hairdos”，表示“他们的短发”。“our”意为“我们的”;“your”意为“你的/你们的”;“her”意为“她的”，均不符合语境，所以选“their”。
38. C 根据后文“Matt likes football and Martin is a tennis player”可知，他们喜欢户外运动。“trips”意为“旅行”;“picnics”意为“野餐”;“sports”意为“运动”;“risks”意为“风险”。结合语境，这里应该选“sports”。
39. A 根据语境，当“我”和他们说话的时候，“我”总是要抬头看。“talk to sb.”是固定短语，意为“和某人说话”;“write to sb.”意为“给某人写信”;“bow to sb.”意为“向某人鞠躬”;“fly”意为“飞”，均不符合语境，所以选“talk”。
40. B 根据后文“so Mum often says that they could eat a horse”可知，他们很能吃。“sing”意为“唱歌”;“eat”意为“吃”;“laugh”意为“笑”;“drive”意为“驾驶”。结合语境，这里应该选“eat”。
41. D 根据后文对Matt和Martin性格的描述，Matt非常活跃，而Martin很安静，可知他们的性格非常不同。“important”意为“重要的”;“difficult”意为“困难的”;“dangerous”意为“危险的”;“different”意为“不同的”。结合语境，这里应该选“different”。
42. B 根据前文“Matt is very active and lively. He often takes part in club activities”可知，Matt很活跃，经常参加俱乐部活动，所以他和人们相处得很好。“get along well with sb.”是固定短语，意为“和某人相处得好”，“easily”可以修饰“get along well with”，表示“很容易地和某人相处好”;“loudly”意为“大声地”;“suddenly”意为“突然地”;“recently”意为“最近”，均不符合语境，所以选“easily”。
43. C 根据后文“because he plays so much and does not listen to his teachers carefully when he is in class”可知，Matt玩得太多，上课不认真听老师讲课，所以妈妈对他不太满意。“nervous”意为“紧张的”;“honest”意为“诚实的”;“happy”意为“高兴的”;“angry”意为“生气的”，“be not very happy with sb.”表示“对某人不太满意”，结合语境，这里应该选“happy”。
44. D 前文说Martin不如Matt活跃，后文说他有一群非常亲密的朋友，前后是转折关系。“whether”和“if”都表示“是否”;“or”表示“或者”;“but”表示“但是”，结合语境，这里应该选“but”。
45. A 根据后文“because he works very hard on his studies”可知，Martin学习很努力，所以他在考试中表现很好。“exams”意为“考试”;“hobbies”意为“爱好”;“interviews”意为“面试”;“adventures”意为“冒险”。结合语境，这里应该选“exams”。
