Yet it was a(n) 25 scene. Peasants walked along the street, their heads piled high with baskets or beautifully woven blankets which they hoped to 26 to the townsfolk. Men with carts 27 their way along, shouting their goods at the top of their 28 . They were selling apples, oranges and grapes -- the 29 of their fields. 30 it all, women in bright summer clothes made their way, laughing and talking, 31 children rushed in and out of the crowds screaming with laughter when they did’t ask for something they could not have, or crying with 32 because they were lost.

重点解析：
16. 根据语境可知从句与主句之间是因果关系，故选D项。for引导原因状语从句通常不放在句首。
17. 从前一句old一词以及下文的overcrowded可知narrow为最佳选项。
18. 因上文有overcrowded，下文有overflowed into the road, 故可知本题答案应为D项。
20. causing danger to sb. 意为“对某人造成危险”，其余三项与句意不符。
21. 根据本句句意可知，危险来自过往的车辆，所以正确答案为A项。
22. 从本句结构可知此处需要一个关系代词来引导非限制性定语从句，且先行词指物，故B项正确。
23. 司机们不停地按喇叭，“说服”人们让路。
24. in the / one’s way 是“挡路”的意思；get out of one’s way是“让开路” 的意思。
25. 由于此空在第二段的首句(起着主题句的作用)，而且第二段描述的是丰富多彩的市井画卷，所以应选C项。
26. 根据语境，农民拿到市场上的货物应当是出售的，因此应选B项。
27. A、C都可用于“v. + one’s way”结构，但结合语境，街上非常拥挤，所以选A项最为恰当。
28. at the top of one’s voice意为“大声地(叫卖) ”，且符合语境，故选A项。
29. A、D两项迷惑性很强。但apples, oranges and grapes不是crops，也非productions，故排除。harvest此处是“收获物”之意，符合语境。
30. 解题的关键是it所指代的内容。it指代street，因此可以考虑在A、B中选定一个。但根据语境，人们在街上穿行一定是顺着街道从一端向另一端走，所以A项为最佳答案。
31. while的意思是“然而，可是”,表示比较、对照。
32. 由于本句中有because they were lost, 可推断孩子的哭是因为迷路而害怕，因此D项为正确答案。
33. 由下文only the rubbish... 可知 C为正确答案。注意collect此处意为“聚集”。
34. 根据语境，由于行人散去，街上空无一人，所以本题最佳答案应为Ａ项。
35. 根据语境，此空动词应为“仍然在……”之意，故选A项。
