(答案→)1. C 解析：1.本句意为：汽车取代了马，成为日常交通工具。replace“取代”；deny“否定、否认”；reproduce“复制”；ridicule“嘲笑”。故选replace。2.句意见上题。means指“工具”，复数形式作单数理解，其他几项不符合句意。3.nearly“接近”；hardly“几乎不”；certainly“肯定”；somehow“设法”。接近90%符合句意。4.personal“个人的”；personnel“人事的”；manual“手工的”；artificial“人造的”。本句意为：美国人使用汽车百分之九十是为了个人的业务。5.根据上下文,本句的意思应该是“大部分的美国人能够买车”。6.根据上下文这里应该是指“有规律”的生产。7.指的是在1975年，与前面的in 1950对应。)8.本句的意思是“汽车生产商开始改进产品，提高效率”，只有improve“改进”符合句意。Raise提高; make制造; reduce减少。9.根据上下文，只能选average“平均”。Unusual不同寻常的。10.本句的意思是“家庭收入的增长速度比汽车价格上涨的速度快”。11.本句缺主语，只有A和D可作主语，但A项的意思不符。purchasing“购买”，符合句意。12.本句指的是家庭收入较小的一部分，不是指具体的数目。13.此处需要用副词，先排除percentage这个名词，其他选项中只有proportionally“相应、成适当比例的”符合句意。本句句意是，“在不同年代车价与家庭收入按比例增加”，其他两项意思不符。14.本句指的是家庭收入，只有income符合句意。15.在表示某物花费某人多少钱的意思时，若物为主语，动词要用cost。16.本句指的是4.75个月的收入。17.本句意为在1975年出产的汽车在工艺上比前些年出产的各种型号的汽车优越。be superior to“比……优越”；be better后面要接than；famous“著名的”；fastest“最快的”。18.本句意为汽车的影响涉及整个经济。influence“影响”；affect是动词，不符合语法；running和notice不符合句意。　19.这里as引导原因状语从句。20.spend (in) doing sth.是固定搭配。
