答案解析：

61. arrived

根据语境“It was raining lightly when...”可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，when引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时，所以填“arrived”，表示“当我黎明前到达阳朔时”。

62. earlier/before

根据“A few hours...”以及“I’d been at home in Hong Kong”可知，这里说的是几个小时之前，“earlier”表示“更早地，之前”，符合语境，所以填“earlier”。更多真题请微信搜索英语巴士小程序。

63. its

根据“smog”是名词，前面需要用形容词性物主代词修饰，“it”的形容词性物主代词是“its”，表示“它的令人窒息的烟雾”，所以填“its”。

. that/which

根据“the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River...are pictured by artists...”可知，这是一个定语从句，先行词是“the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River”，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词“that”或“which”引导定语从句。

65. paintings

根据“many Chinese...”可知，“many”后接可数名词复数，“painting”的复数形式是“paintings”，表示“许多中国画”，所以填“paintings”。

66. by

根据“it’s only an hour away...car”可知，这里表示交通方式，“by car”是固定短语，意为“乘汽车”，所以填“by”。

67. is

根据语境可知，这是在描述阳朔现在的客观情况，用一般现在时，“Yangshuo”是第三人称单数，所以be动词用“is”，表示“阳朔真的很美”。

68. conducted

根据“A study of travelers...names Yangshuo as one of the top 10 destinations in the world.”可知，“A study of travelers”和“conduct”之间是被动关系，用过去分词作后置定语修饰“A study of travelers”，表示“由网站Trip Advisor进行的一项对旅行者的研究”，所以填“conducted”。

69. regularly

根据“arranges”是动词，需要用副词修饰，“regular”的副词形式是“regularly”，表示“定期地，有规律地”，所以填“regularly”。

70. living

根据“for people...in Shanghai and Hong Kong”可知，“people”和“live”之间是主动关系，用现在分词作后置定语修饰“people”，表示“生活在上海和的人”，所以填“living”。
