解析：

(1)	as“因为；作为”。
(2)	因为是老城，所以主街道也很窄。
(3)	room意为“空间”。句意为“没有足够的空间让这么多人走在人行道上”。
(4)	表语意的递进，人行道上挤满了人，于是人们就拥挤到了大路上。
(5)	cause“引起”，作overflowed的结果状语。
(6)	这些危险是由过往的车辆引起的。
(7)	which是关系代词，代提前面的cars and buses，引导的定语从句。
(8)	司机们按喇叭目的是让人们给车让路。只能是“劝说”。
(9)	get out of one’s way“让道”。
(10)	街道上的景象时多种多样、丰富多彩的。通过下文描写的各种景象可知。
(11)	农民们到城里为了卖他们的产品，尤其是从下一句的goods(商品)可知。
(12)	形容推车的人们走路之艰难，因为路上到处都是人。
(13)	at the top of one’s voice“高声地”。农民们高声地吆喝着、叫卖着。
(14)	harvest“收获的果实”。D项production作为可数名词时，是“艺术作品”的意思。product就正确了。
(15)	在……之间。
(16)	表对比。女人们干什么，而孩子们又干什么。
(17)	孩子因为迷路而害怕。
(18)	上一句提到人们从路边的小贩那儿买一些吃的东西，吃完之后，垃圾被扔得到处都是。
(19)	夜晚来临的时候，街道上空荡起来，只留下了垃圾。
(20)	remain意为“留下”。和前面的动词19空中emptied作并列谓语。而B项left应用被动语态。lay是“躺着”的过去时，不合适。piled是“堆积”的意思，不如remain形象。
