【要点综述】本文主要讲述了三个人在沼泽地附近露营以及Dennis'sSwamp名字的由来。

56.D　考查词义猜测。

由语境可知，他们去沼泽地野营应该是接受了杰克的挑战。

57.B　考查推理判断。

根据第二、三、四段他们的对话可知，Jack多次警告他们这个故事吓人，但经不住他们的请求还是告诉他们了，可知讲这个故事并不是为了吓他们，而是为了满足他们的好奇心。

58.D　考查细节理解。

由第八段¡°IfIclearmoreland,Icangrowmorecrops.I'llbecomewealthier.He'sjustjealous！

¡±可知他想有更多的土地，种更多的庄稼，变得更富有，还认为老人在嫉妒他。

由此可知他不听老人的劝告是因为他想种更多的庄稼。

59.B　考查细节理解。

由最后一段倒数第二句¡°Somegreenswampivy（常春藤）hadcoveredTom'sface.¡±可知他晕倒的原因是因为他被常春藤吓到了。

60.A　考查推理判断。

综观全文可知贪婪的Dennis因为其贪婪，结果失去了一切，故A项¡°贪多必失¡±，符合语境。
