【解析】

試題分析：本篇文章主要介紹了美國購物習(xí)慣在過去的幾十年間所發(fā)生的變化。

1.in 考查介詞。本句考查固定短語in the 1900s，意為在20世紀(jì)。句意為：在20世紀(jì)早期，大多數(shù)的美國鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)和城市就有一條主街。

2.the 考查冠詞。本句考查固定短語in the heart of，意為在…中心。句意為：主街總是在城鎮(zhèn)的中心。

3.for 考查介詞。本句考查動詞look的搭配，從上文可知人們到街道上來購物，因此他們走進商店主要是為了尋找他們所需要的東西。故填for，構(gòu)成短語look for，意為尋找。

4.However 考查副詞。根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容可知，下文介紹了20世紀(jì)50年代發(fā)生了變化，故有一定的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因其后有逗號，故填副詞，however，意為然而。

5.few 考查形容詞。根據(jù)下文的the streets were crowded可知，停車的地方不多，故填few。句意為：太多的車涌入主街而對于購物者而言停車的地方又太少了。

6.Because 考查連詞。根據(jù)空格后內(nèi)容可知，街道上都擠滿了。而主句意為：店主們開始注意遠離市區(qū)的空曠的地方。這兩個句子之間存在因果關(guān)系，故填because，意為因為。

7.to 考查非謂語動詞。本句考查短語begin to do sth。意為開始做某事，故填to。

8.
