KEYS：
36.A[分析] 习惯搭配。
根据句意：知道苹果已种植了3,000多年的人不多。people是复数名词，用 not much形容不对;而not many意为“不多”;如：Not many high school students can study abroad.高中生能去留学的不多。因此选项A为答案。
37.D[分析] 习惯搭配。
native表示“(某地)固有的，原产的，(动植物)特有的”之意时，后面一般加to+名词，如：animals native to Africa非洲原产的动物，因此选项D是答案。
38.B[分析] 代词搭配。
根据句意：所有的生物都是一代一代地向下传递其遗传特性。another另一个，泛指同类事物中的另一个：本句是指从一代向另一代传递，因此from one to another是正确选项。
39.D[分析] 代词应用。
所填之词应指代前面提到的joints，是名词复数，所以应用代词them来代替。因此选项D为答案。
40.C[分析] 形容词应用。
outside和outer均有“外部的”意思。但outside一般指物体的外表或表面，而outer指一种相对性，即相对于内部而言的外部或外表， appearance外貌，外观，hiding隐匿：在此指牙齿的外表面，是相对于内部而言的，因此选项 C为答案。
41.C[分析] 名词应用。
此句意为：人工照明的最早方式就是火，而且火还能提供温暖和保护。所填之处应是一个名词，因此应为选项C。
42.A[分析] 结构应用。
此句意为：所有的哺乳动物都有毛发，但并不明显。but引导的句子主语应是指代前面所提的整件事，而不是前句主语all mammals，因此主语应用it;如用选项B，本句就不能用but连接了，因此只有选项A是答案。
