D. ones

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。

64.Bob never does his homework ______ Mary. He makes lots of mistakes.

A. so careful as

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。

C.is losing, starting

D.loses, to start

A.can’t

B.needn’t

C.may not

68. John fell asleep ________ he was listening to the music.

A. after

B. before

C. while

D. as soon as

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.The noise was so ________ that only those with excellent hearing were aware of it.

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。
