61、cars”及空后的“They are also a necessary part of life.”可知，车还是生活中必不可少的一部分，“also”表明空处应该还会提到车的一种用途，故C项（车不仅仅是用来娱乐的）符合语境。32根据本段主题句“Cars are used for business.”可知，本段主要介绍的是车的商业用途，空前举了销售人员用车运输产品的例子，此处还应该会举一个车用于商业方面的例子，故E项（农民们开车进城去买物资）符合语境。33根据空后的“One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children and the neigh
