解析：
(1) |
本句意为“汽车取代了马，成为日常交通工具”。replace“取代”；place“放置”；reproduce“复制”；changed“改变”。 |
(2) |
句意见上题。means指某种方式，译为“工具”，用复数形式。其他几项不符合句意。 |
(3) |
nearly“接近”；hardly“几乎不”；certainly“肯定”；somehow“设法，用某种不知道的方式”。接近90％，当然是nearly。符合句意。 |
(4) |
personal“个人的”；personnel“人员”；manual“手工的”；artificial“人造的”。C、D两项太具体了。本句意为“美国人使用汽车90％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”。至于拥有车，不必说“能不能”。 |
(6) |
根据上下文，这里应该是指“有规律”地生产的车，即批量生产的、普通的车。 |
(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，提高工作效率”。只有improve“改进、提高”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”，指美国人的平均家庭收入的变化。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两项可作主语，但A项的意思不符。这里是说“购买汽车的花费占家庭总收入的部分较以前小了”。 |
(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) |
proportionally“按比例地、成适当比例地”，符合句意。本句句意是“按比例，1951年一个普通家庭要花费8个月的收入购买一辆车”。其他选项意思不符。 |
(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时，若物为主语，动词要用cost。 |
(16) |
从上句中的annual(年度的)可知，这里说的也是一年的收入。 |
(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：因为汽车对美国人来说很重要，所以汽车制造影响到整个经济。 |
(20) |
最后一句是个总结。说的是既然汽车制造这么重要，那美国人做得最多的事就是让汽车不要停下来，也就是使汽车制造持续发展下去。因此B项running才是答案。 |
