36---55         ABCCB   ADADB   ACDBD   ACBDA       

解析:

36. A。由下文作者回憶如何成癮，如何對他生活的影響以及他是采取什么措施克服，這講的都是作者如何面對解決這個問題的。

37. B。從后面的from the moment I woke up to the time I went sleep中的moment可推知他一直都想打電話，所以選B。

38. C。由第四段的If I couldn’t make a call, I spent the whole time waiting for the phone to ring可反推出該空填wait。

39. C。由下句的轉折詞though及其后的內容（可是漸漸地越來越糟糕了）可反推出剛開始一天幾個電話并且通話時間很短，似乎還挺正常，所以用fine。

40. B。situation指“形勢，局面”；condition指人的身心或物品所處于的具體狀態，也可表示“條件”；result指最終形成的結果，既然是最終的結果，就無法再發生變化；effect指某物最后產生的“效果”，這里指的是情形越來越糟糕。

41. A。由空后的finally, addiction可知空里應該填上癮前的表現，而只有總是去做去想才叫上癮，選項中frequent是頻繁的意思，符合上下文的意思。

42. D。由During the day I would disappear for ___call可知本段敘述的是打電話上癮影響了他的工作，要不然他不用偷偷摸摸地去打電話。

43. A。由上題可知這些電話是他在工作時間打的，不可能長時間地打電話；既然他是打電話上癮者，那么他打電話就是因為他想打，不打心里難受，沒有什么特別的理由，所以其他三項不能選。

44. D。他打電話上了癮，工作時間打不成電話，就一直盼著別人來電話，等不來電話，按長理推斷，上了癮的人，不能做想做的事會越來越著急，煩躁不安（anxious）。

45. B。這里他是在做內心的自我斗爭，一邊想繼續打電話一邊告誡自己：再打一個電話就不打了，自己和自己說，故用telling。

46. A。leave a message是打電話者的常用語，意思是“留言”；take a message是接電話的人的常用語，意思也是“留言”，但動作發出者不同。

47. C。由see me through the day可知，他想熬過這一天，根據他是個打電話上癮的人要想熬過去，就像吸鴉片上癮的人需要足夠的鴉片一樣，他必須有足夠的電話。

48. D。saying的意思是格言、俗語；demands的意思是要求、需求，wish的意思是愿望、希望；words的意思是話，言語，而下一句就是他說的話，所以選D。

49. B。由下文作者居然用電話打老板這件事可知，不讓他用電話時他的瘋狂行為。

50. D。從下一句他用電話打他的老板可反推知這里講的是他的同事阻止他打電話，stop somebody(from)doing是固定短語，意思是“阻止某人做某事”。

51. A。phone box指的是投幣電話接受硬幣的盒子。由phone box的定語從句知他的最后一個硬幣被phone box吞了，他不能接著打電話，才導致他破壞盒子；他是打電話上癮者，不是小偷，所以不可能是偷盒子或者倒空盒子，排除C、D項。

52. C。既然是被警察捉住，那么他就是在警察的強制命令下去看心理醫生，去改變或克服他的不正常行為，。

53. B。這一段緊接上文談他是如何克服自己的電話癮的，由此推知在三個星期內他的家里是沒有電話機的。

54. D。since是自從……的意思，這句話的意思是自從我上次打投幣電話已經有好幾天了。

55. A。電視節目中確實經常出現人們打電話的場景，這里沒有和電視里打電話的人數形成對比的對象，所以不能用more。
