解析：

(1)	“汽車(chē)在美國(guó)是生活的重要部分。沒(méi)有汽車(chē)，大多數(shù)人會(huì)感到貧窮。同時(shí)根據(jù)even if a person is poor�？芍獞�(yīng)選D。
(2)	really－thoroughly，故選A最佳，“不感到非常窮”。
(3)	Henry Ford是第一個(gè)大批量地生產(chǎn)汽車(chē)的人。
(4)	affect(動(dòng)詞)＝have an influence on sb．/sth．．“影響”，選A最佳，“影響美國(guó)文化”。注意，D項(xiàng)effect是名詞。
(5)	根據(jù)上下文，“汽車(chē)使美國(guó)成為輪子上的國(guó)家”。
(6)	汽車(chē)也幫助使美國(guó)成了今天的美國(guó)。
(7)	下文解釋汽車(chē)“如此普及”的原因，故選C最佳。
(8)	三個(gè)主要原因的第一個(gè)，“首先”，故選C最佳。
(9)	move around－travel around，故選A最佳，“喜歡在國(guó)內(nèi)旅游”。
(10)	汽車(chē)提供了最舒適最便宜的交通形式。offer：樂(lè)意提供幫助provide：提供
(11)	根據(jù)上文說(shuō)的“最便宜的交通工具”所以說(shuō)“出行不花許多錢(qián)”。
(12)	汽車(chē)是屬于交通工具，“一種有效率的、不貴的公共交通工具”。
(13)	長(zhǎng)途火車(chē)在美國(guó)不普遍。
(14)	根據(jù)air-service，所以說(shuō)是“飛機(jī)提供的優(yōu)質(zhì)的空中服務(wù)”。
(15)	“飛機(jī)太貴以至不經(jīng)常用”。frequently：經(jīng)常地continuously：連續(xù)地
(16)	根據(jù)下文可知是“第三個(gè)原因是最重要的一點(diǎn)”，故選B最佳。
(17)	根據(jù)美國(guó)文化，選D最佳，“獨(dú)立精神”。
(18)	并列否定用or，“甚至也不愿等飛機(jī)”。
(19)	“遵循準(zhǔn)確的時(shí)間表”，follow：遵循。
(20)	上文說(shuō)“汽車(chē)給了他們安排自己時(shí)間的自由”所以此處說(shuō)“這是美國(guó)人最想擁有的自由”。
