【回答】

61.解析: 考查短语keep on doing的用法。

*:increasing

62. 解析: There will not be enough resources的主谓结构是完整的,所以只能用event的副词形式eventually作状语。

*:eventually

63. 解析: 时间状语是by+将来时间,谓语用将来完成时态。

*:will have used

64. 解析: 考查句型make+it+adj.+for+sb.+to do sth.。

*:necessary

65. 解析: 考查理解和代词。根据意思应该是“其他行星中到目前为止还没有一个适合生命的生存。”none of+复数名词/不可数名词,表示“……中没有一个。”

*:none

66. 解析: 考查上下文理解和行文逻辑。前文说“没办法”,这里说“可能的解决方案”所以用“however”表示转折。

*:however

67. 解析: 考查内容理解和从句。这里应该是“在地球的资源完全枯竭之前”,所以用before。

*:before

68. 解析: 是个及物动词,“耗尽,用完”,这里应该用被动语态。

*:exhausted

69. 解析: 考虑到行文逻辑,这里表示的是结果,因此,so/therefore是最佳措辞。

*:so/therefore

70. 解析: 考查行文逻辑。文章最后两句很明显是解释something is difficult这句话。有两件事是困难的,除了Venus比地球热得多,另一难题是那里的水有限,所以这里用Besides.

*:Besides
