题目解析:61.to此处考查介词。空白处所在部分与其前面的 From Buddhist temples to museums 结构并列,均由 from.to.连接(narrow 前省略了from),故空白处应填介词to。
62. built 此处考查非谓语动词。空白处位于副词 carefully 后以及名词system前,应用build 的过去分词形式作定语,修饰system。
63.that/ which 此处考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处缺少引导定语从句并在从句中作主语的关系代词。先行词为place, 故应填that/which。
. wonders 此处考查名词。本句中的 wonder 作名词,意为“奇观”,是可数名词, 故应用 wonder 的复数形式。
65.yet/but 此处考查连词。空白处前的a distinct visual contrast that shouldn't work 与空白处后的these two very different worlds make a good combination 构成转折关系,故此处应用转折连词yet/but。
66.Having visited 此处考查非谓语动词。..several times over the last 10years 在句中作状语,逻辑主语I和visit 是主动关系,再根据时间状语over the last 10 years 可知,应用动词-ing形式的完成式Having visited.
67. was amazed 此处考查谓语动词。根据空白处后的介词 by可知,主语I与动词 amaze 之间为被动关系,再根据本句中的 was able to可知,此处应用一般过去时的被动语态。
68. recording 此处考查非谓语动词。spend...(in) doing sth 为固定搭配,意为“花费.….做某事”,介词后用动名词作宾语, 介词可省略。
69. remarkable 此处考查词性转换。此处应用形容词修饰其后的名词development, 故填 remarkable,意为“非凡的: 显著的”。
70.means 此处考查谓语动词。分析句子结构可知, 句中缺少谓语语动词,因本句的主语中心词为development.而且陈述的是现在的情况,故谓语动词用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式。
