参考答案：

　　62.此题考点为not...but的句型搭配，表示“不是……而是”，符合句意，因此答案为A项。

　　63.根据上下文结构与句意，此处需要一个关联性的状语，而且根据句意需要一个表示转折意义的副词，故B项However为正确答案。Generally意为“广泛地，普遍地，总的来说”，可作评述性状语;Possibly意为“可能地”，也可作为评述性状语和一般修饰性状语;Likewise意为“同样地，照样地”，在句子中可作关联性的状语，但不是转折意义的。

　　64.此题涉及某些感官动词，如;see，hear，watch，feel等词后接宾语的用法。这些动词后可接复杂宾语结构，即see，hear，watch，feel + sb.+do或see，hear，watch，feel + sb. + doing，因此正确答案为C项。

　　65.通过上下文可知，此空需要一个副词，因此可以排除选项B和选项D。Out of the question意为“不可能”，不符合上下文语意。Probably意为“很有可能地”，用在此处表示作者比较肯定的猜测，故正确答案为C项。

　　66.根据上下文可知，魔术家擅长“逃脱”，他可以轻易地开锁，从被锁处脱逃。因此，正确答案为 A项。

　　67.通过阅读上下文可知此处需要一个引导让步状语从句的连词，只有选项D符合。

　　68.本题考查考生对关联词程度的掌握。根据句意，此处应填入表示方式的关系词表示“如何”，因此C项how符合句意，为正确答案。

　　69.本题的同位语从句应用that引导，故正确答案为D项。

　　70.本题考查过去分词的用法。过去分词invented为后置定语修饰前面的名词，表示以前发明的各种锁，因此，可排除选项B和选项D。选项C则表示过去分词的进行时，根据“...every type of lock ever”，可排除。因此，正确答案为A项。

　　71.in place of为固定搭配，表示“代替……位置”，符合句意，故选B项。

　　72.bound是bind的过去式，意为“捆绑”。其他三词意义不符，故正确答案为D项。

　　73.in an instant是固定搭配，意为“立刻，马上”，故正确答案为C项。

　　74.四个选项中动词charge一般不与of搭配使用。rid...of意为“除掉”，不符句意。deprive... of意为“剥夺……”，不符句意.C项accuse和of搭配意为“指控……”符合句意，故选C项。

　　75.mud和something是不可数名词，不符句型结构;像candle是不合逻辑的;因此，只有D项 substance(物质)正确。

　　76.通过阅读本句可断定此空需要一个从属连词引导时间状语，四个选项中只有A项as正确。

　　77.overall是形容词，不能修饰形容词;all but意为“几乎，差不多”，不符句意;no longer不符句意。只有altogether(总体来说)符合上下文语意，故为正确答案。

　　78.根据上下文意思，此句意为“他被铁链紧紧缚住并关进了一只空木箱”。在四个选项中，A项 chain sb./sth。即表示“用链子等物束缚住某人或某物”，符合句意，其他选项均不能与chain搭配，故选A项。

　　79.只有which能用于介词后引导定语从句，故选B项。

　　80.根据句意可知，此处就是上文中所指的chest，故选A项。

　　81.通过阅读上下文可知，Houdini被装进木桶扔进了海里，但他很快就逃了出来，当木桶被捞上来时，人们发现木桶被打开了，捆在木桶外的铁链子却被放到了桶里面，由此可知此题应选 A项brought up，意为“把……弄上来”。
