解析36. B  as early as的意思為“同……一樣早”, early是副詞，“早期”的意思，earlier是比較級“較早”的意思。　　
37. D 本句的意思是“街道的兩旁排列著很多各種各樣的商店”，build的意思是“建造，修建”，design的意思是“設計”，intend“意思是“打算”，line是“沿……排列”的意思�！　�
38. B  varied是“變化多端”的意思，various為“各種各樣的”，sorted意為“分類的”，mixed?up意為“困惑的，迷惘的，不適應社會的”。本句意為“各種各樣的商店”�！　�
39. C 本句的意思是“除了各種各樣的商店銷售各種各樣的商品之外，有些商店還提供服務”，apart from意為“除此之外”，后必須接名詞或動名詞，however是連詞“然而”的意思，in addition可單獨使用，意為“除此之外”，as well用在句末�！　�
40. D  medical care意為“醫(yī)療護理”。food是“食物”，cosmetic是“化妝品”，service是“服務”，根據上題意思，service一詞放在這里最合適。　　
41. D 本句的意思是“在五十年代，情況發(fā)生了變化”，有轉折的意思。suddenly和abruptly都是“突然”的意思，contrarily指“相反地”，but是“但是”的意思,表轉折�！　�
42. B  take place只有主動語態(tài)，故可排除C，而begin to后應接動詞不定式，只有take place“發(fā)生”可用�！　�
43. A 此句中太多的汽車和太少的停車場有相對比較的意思，while是連詞，有“而，卻”的意思，表比較。yet“然而”，表轉折，though“盡管，雖然”，表讓步�！　�
44. B  be available to sb.為固定搭配，意為“對某人來說可用的，可得到的”，本句意為“顧客可用的停車場地”，故選B�！　�

46. A 這里是一個時間狀語從句。因此用when(在……時候)。while指“在……期間”；since表示“自從”，主句一般用完成時。　　
47. A 本句的意思是“購物中心是從聚集一些小的店鋪開始的”，只有started as有此意�！　�
48. B 本句意為“遠離擁擠的市中心”, out of指“在……之外”，away from表示距離，“遠離”，next to指“靠近，下一個”，near是“近”的意思�！　�
