Once upon a time, there was a clever monkey. He lived on a beautiful island (岛), in an apple tree. One day, a crocodile (鳄鱼) swam to the island. “I'm hungry,” he said.
So the monkey threw a red apple to the crocodile. The crocodile munched (用力咀嚼) and munched. The next day, the crocodile came back. “May I have two apples, please?” he asked. He ate one and gave one to his wife.
The crocodile went to see the monkey every day, to listen to his tales and eat his apples. He wanted to be clever, just like the monkey. The crocodile's wife had an idea. “Why don't you eat his heart? Then you'll be clever, just like him!”
The next day, he said to the monkey, “Come to my house! We'll have lunch together, to thank you for the apples.”
But when the monkey arrived, the crocodile closed the door and said, “Monkey! I want to eat your heart, so I can be as clever as you!” The clever monkey thought quickly and said, “But… I haven't got my heart here. It's on the island, in the apple tree.”
They all went back to the island. “Wait here, and I will get my heart,” the monkey said. The monkey quickly climbed the tree and sat at the top. “Oh, Crocodile. You are greedy (贪婪的). Of course, you can't have my heart. And now, you can't have my apples!” And the clever monkey laughed and laughed!

【分析】
这是一篇寓言类阅读理解，全部为细节理解题型，解题思路是先通读题干明确每道题的提问方向，再带着问题回到原文对应段落定位关键语句，逐一比对选项排除错误项即可得出答案。第1题提问鳄鱼真正想要的东西，直接定位到鳄鱼妻子的提议和鳄鱼后续的直白表述就能找到答案；第2题提问猴子欺骗鳄鱼的方式，找到猴子应对鳄鱼索要心脏时说的原话即可匹配选项；第3题提问故事结局，定位最后一段的内容就能直接选出正确结果。
【解析】
1. 定位原文第三段末尾鳄鱼妻子的提议“Why don't you eat his heart? Then you'll be clever, just like him!”以及第五段鳄鱼直接说的“I want to eat your heart, so I can be as clever as you!”，可知鳄鱼真正想要的是猴子的心脏，对应选项A，排除B（苹果只是鳄鱼最初得到的东西，不是它最终想要的）、C（文中从未提及鳄鱼想要猴子的家）、D（鳄鱼的目的是变聪明，并非想要和猴子建立友谊）。
2. 定位原文第五段猴子的回应“But… I haven't got my heart here. It's on the island, in the apple tree.”，可知猴子骗鳄鱼说自己的心脏留在岛上的苹果树上了，对应选项C，排除A（猴子是靠哄骗鳄鱼返回岛上才脱身，并非直接从鳄鱼身边逃走）、B（猴子全程都没有把心脏交给鳄鱼）、D（文中完全没有提到猴子向其他动物求助）。
3. 定位原文最后一段内容，猴子爬回苹果树顶端，既没有交出自己的心脏，也明确表示以后鳄鱼再也得不到苹果，对应选项C，排除A（鳄鱼最终根本没有吃到猴子的心脏）、B（猴子明确表示鳄鱼再也得不到苹果）、D（文中没有任何情节提到鳄鱼和它的妻子爬树）。
