解析:

61.下文中的their journey對做出正確選擇作了提示，說明他們在旅途中。答案為A。

62. break中斷。根據(jù)上文中的stopped可確定答案。當(dāng)那些卡車司機(jī)和商販在旅途中停下來進(jìn)行短暫的休息時，他們喝點咖啡，吃點cheeseburger(放有干酪的肉餅)。答案為C。

63.這個句子的謂語動詞用了現(xiàn)在完成時，since從此以后，常與完成時連用。從此以后他再也沒關(guān)過門；ever曾經(jīng)，常用于肯定句中，否定句是：He has never closed the door；later后來，常與一般過去時連用。答案為B。

64. mobile houses是一種用汽車裝載的活動住房。for“為了”。a car park for mobile house為裝載著活動住房的汽車提供的停車場。答案為D。

65.a 24-hour working trend二十四小時工作的趨向。下文的內(nèi)容告訴我們，二十四小時工作已成為全球的趨向。而且，根據(jù)DC Hilton工作的性質(zhì)，容易排除B、C和D項。touring business旅游事業(yè)；banking service銀行服務(wù)業(yè)；delivering system郵遞系統(tǒng)。答案為A。 

66.上文說明24小時工作成為一種趨向，很多行業(yè)開始整夜開放。A項performing“表演”；B項pretending“假裝”；D項hesitating“猶豫”，均不合題意。答案為C。

67.根據(jù)下一段的內(nèi)容可判斷出is this really a good thing?是對二十四小時工作提出的質(zhì)疑，所以兩句之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，要用But填寫。Furthermore“另外”。答案為C。 

68.be growing concern about對……關(guān)心不斷增加。人們越來越多地對不睡覺對社會所造成的長遠(yuǎn)危險予以關(guān)注。B項understanding“理解”；C項interest“興趣”；D項sense“意識”。答案為A。

69.several幾個。意思是：最嚴(yán)重的人為災(zāi)難發(fā)生在黎明前。而few和none都表示否定，all表示全體，都與短文內(nèi)容不符。答案為B。 

70.stay awake保持清醒的狀態(tài)。preserve“保護(hù)，維護(hù)”，后常接名詞；become表示由不清醒向清醒變化的過程；maintain作系動詞的意思是“維持”。答案為D。
