答案及解析： 1. B as early as的意思为“同 一样早”, early是副词，“早期”的意思，earlier是比较级“较早”的意思。 2. D 本句的意思是“街道的两旁排列着很多各种各样的商店”，build的意思是“建造，修建”，design的意思是“设计”，intend“意思是“打算”，line是“沿 排列”的意思。 3. B varied是“变化多端”的意思，various为“各种各样的”，sorted意为“分类的”，mixedup意为“困惑的，迷惘的，不适应社会的”。本句意为“各种各样的商店”。 4.

D medical care意为“医疗护理”。food是“食物”，cosmetic是“化妆品”，service是“服务”，根据上题意思，service一词放在这里最合适。 6. D 本句的意思是“在五十年代，情况发生了变 化”，有转折的意思。suddenly和abruptly都是“突然”的意思，contrarily指“相反 地”，but是“但是”的意思,表转折。 7. B take place只有主动语态，故可排除C，而begin to后应接动词不定式，只有take place“发生”可用。 8. A 此句中太多的汽车和太少的停车场有相对比较的意思，while是连词，有“而，却”的意思，表比较。yet“然而”，表转折，though“尽 管，虽然”，表让步。 9.
