答案解析：
46. an ：“play an important role”是固定短语，意为“扮演重要角色”，important 以元音音素开头，所以用 an。
47. to have ：“want to do sth.”表示“想要做某事”，所以用动词不定式 to have。
48. biggest ：“one of + 形容词最高级 + 名词复数”表示“......中最......之一”，big 的最高级是 biggest。
49. produces ：主语 It 是第三人称单数，句子是一般现在时，所以谓语动词用 produces。
50. became ：根据“in the Tang and Song Dynasties”可知，此句用一般过去时，become 的过去式是 became。
51. really ：uncommon 是形容词，需要用副词修饰，real 的副词是 really。
52. for ：“be famous for”表示“因......而闻名”。
53. patients ：many 修饰可数名词复数，patient 的复数是 patients。
54. what ：此处引导宾语从句，作介词 because of 的宾语，且在从句中作宾语，用 what。
55. different ：修饰名词 plants 要用形容词，difference 的形容词是 different。
