【答案仅供参考】

61.【答案】D。解析：句意为“许多女孩参加‘快乐女生’的比赛,但是仅仅很少一些人成功了。”million后面跟of的时候一定要用复数形式，millions of表示“成千上万的，许多的”。Many不能修饰million故选D。

62.【答案】C。解析：比较对象的替代通常可以用that替代不可数名词，those替代可数名词复数，故此处用those替代比较对象machines。句意:我们厂里有几台机器与这本杂志上所描述的机器很像。故选C。

63.【答案】B。解析：考查介词的用法。in意为“在……里面”;through意为“通过”;over意为“在……上面”;to意为“往”;根据句意:——我昨天把钥匙丢在房间了。我不得不爬窗户去拿钥匙。——这样太危险了。故选B。

64.【答案】 B。解析：因为该词修饰的是动词“做家庭作业”，所以要用副词。as+adj/adv原级 +as: 和...一样 ;not+as+adj/adv原级 +as:和...不一样/不如。句意：鲍勃不如玛丽做作业认真。他经常犯很多错误。故选B。

65.【答案】A。解析：因为that is意为“换句话说，即=in other words，而前句中的谓语has set是现在完成时，后一句的谓语动词也应用现在完成时，排除C和D;又因主语the sales是复数，选出正确答案A。

66.【答案】A。解析：由题意知，农田逐步消失，故应is getting lost，表示渐进的过程;consider作考虑讲时，后应接动词的-ing形式或带有疑问词的不定式结构。故选A。

67.【答案】A。解析：耐心一点儿，你不能期望世界变化如此快。此题考察情态动词，can’t在否定句中可以表示推测，译为不可能;可以表示能力，译为不能够，也可以表示命令，不允许，但是语气比mustn’t弱，具有劝慰的意思，根据句意此题中选择A，can’t表示劝慰。

68.【答案】C。【解析】该题考查的是引导时间状语从句的常用从属连词的用法。本句的含义是：约翰在听音乐的时候睡着了。“表示在干某事时发生了某个事情”通常用while，因此应选C。

69.【答案】C。解析：A选项dim表示“不亮的，看不清的”，B选项soft表示“柔软的”，C选项faint表示“微弱的，模糊的，不清楚的”。D选项gentle表示“温和的，文雅的，高尚的”。本题意为“这种噪音太过微弱了，以至于只有那些拥有极好的听力的人才能感觉到。”因此答案选C。

70.【答案】D。解析：当either …or 连接两个并列主语时，句子的谓语动词在人称和数上和后一个主语保持一致，即遵循“就近原则”，与the president保持一致，“be+不定式”表示按计划或安排将要发生的动作。故选D。
