答案解析：
36. 前文提到“Think of all the ways that you use your arms and hands.”，这里指用“它们(arms and hands)”去开门、搬箱子等，“them”指代上文的复数名词“arms and hands”，所以选B。
37. 根据后文“But she didn't let that... her from doing things”以及她用脚做各种事情可知，杰西卡·考克斯出生时“没有”胳膊，“without”表示“没有”，符合语境，所以选A。
38. “stop sb. from doing sth.”是固定短语，意为“阻止某人做某事”，这里说她没有让没有胳膊这件事“阻止”她做事，所以选D。
39. 根据语境，她“学会”用脚自己吃饭、画画和弹钢琴，“learnt”是“learn”的过去式，意为“学会”，符合文意，所以选C。
40. 根据“Jessica watched the other students on the playground”可知，她是在“学校”的操场上看其他学生，“at school”表示“在学校”，所以选A。
41. “She did not have hands to catch balls with”和“she did not have arms to climb with”是并列关系，用“and”连接，所以选C。
42. * 根据后文“she did fly. She learnt to fly a plane!”可知，她想象自己能“飞”过操场，带着朋友们到天空，“fly”意为“飞”，符合语境，所以选A。
43. “set up”意为“建立”;“grew up”意为“长大”;“gave up”意为“放弃”;“warmed up”意为“热身”。根据“Many years later”可知，多年后她“长大”了，学会了开飞机，所以选B。
44. 根据“but Jessica was patient, confident and brave”可知，学习开飞机这件事是“艰难的”工作，但她很有耐心、自信且勇敢，“hard”意为“艰难的”，符合文意，所以选D。
45. 根据前文她想象自己能飞，后来真的学会了开飞机可知，她使自己的“梦想”成真了，“dream”意为“梦想”，所以选C。
