答案:61. they ―> \ 这里which 修饰定语从句,they 是多余的主语。 62.∧reported―>were reported 这里报道应是被动式。 63. come->came 这里应根据上下文时态得出是过去式。 64. began->begun begin的过去完成式是begun。 65. below ->above 根据题意沙漠应该在海面之上 66. increase->decrease 根据题意因为是break up the dust因此应该是decrease 67. plan ∧—>to 根据题意应是plan to do something。 68. instrument->instruments 由于前面的airplane, satellite等都是复数,因此这里可数名词instrument也应该用复数。 69. carbon∧ ->that 因为后面应该是跟从句。 70. investigators->investigator 因为指一个人,因此应该用复数。
