解析:

【語篇解讀】我的狗Beans領(lǐng)著我沿著一條不熟悉的小路散步而迷路了，結(jié)果好不容易才回到家。但從冒險經(jīng)歷來看，我斷定Beans可能一直知道回家的路，他只是喜歡探險新的路徑罷了。

36.根據(jù)第二段第一句“Beans is a white dog”可判斷選B項。

37. 根據(jù)全文最后一句“He was just having too much fun exploring new trails.”可判斷選C項。

38. 根據(jù)后一句“He not only understands what we tell him，but also often makes sounds as if he were trying to 39 back.”可推斷Beans的聰明與機靈，故選A項。

39. 根據(jù)句中的“makes sounds”可判斷Beans試圖用言語進行回答，故選D項。

40. 根據(jù)上文“My36，Beans，and I walk the trail frequently.”和“we took a different route，which led us to an unfamiliar trail.”可綜合判斷選B項，即“熟悉的小徑”。

41. 根據(jù)下文So I urged，“Beans，take me home.”可推斷我突然意識到Beans可能知道回家的路，故選A項。

42. 根據(jù)上文“He ran down a new trail. But it merely led to an intersection (岔道口) of trails.”可推斷其實Beans并不知道回家的路，即：很快，我們已經(jīng)迷路是很明顯的事了，故選D項。

43. 由前后語境可知我們迷失在一個偏僻之處，再結(jié)合第一段“This trail is one of the old roads that wind through untold miles of forest”的提示可判斷選B項。

44. 根據(jù)句中but所表示的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，再結(jié)合“The sniffing and exploring was going well for him.”的提示推斷，至于迷路一事我著急，但Beams并不關(guān)心，故選A項。

45. 由前后語境可推斷此處應意為“我們終于來到了離高速公路不遠處的一個十字路口”，故選C項。

46. 很快我們就來到一處村舍，故選D項。shortly意為“不久”，符合語境。

47. 從我們的冒險經(jīng)歷，我斷定（得出結(jié)論）Beans可能一直知道回家的路，他只是喜歡探險新的路徑罷了。由此語境可判斷選C項。
