36. 正确答案：popular
解析：此处需要形容词修饰publications，表示“通俗读物”。
37. 正确答案：historical
解析：此处需要形容词修饰interest，指不管重要与否而在过去存在的所有事物。音形近似词historic意为“历史上著名的，具有重大历史意义的”，直接修饰人或事，此处修饰interest不恰当。
38. 正确答案：prints
解析：art prints“艺术印刷品、图片”。上下文都是名词复数形式，此处注意不要漏写s .
39. 正确答案：instruments
解析：musical instruments为习惯搭配，意为“乐器”。此处注意用复数形式，与上下文取得一致。
40. 正确答案：permitted
解析：系动词之后的动词形式只能是-ing或-ed分词，此处应为被动语态，permitted要双写t。
