Answer 1

分析 本文主要介绍一项吉尼斯世界纪录．即26名中国志愿者学生和老师David连续学习英语72小时不睡觉．在这个活动中每天有几次15分钟的休息和吃饭，其它的时间便是读，写，玩游戏和唱英语歌曲．

解答 61．asleep 考查形容词．fall是连系动词，后接形容词作表语，asleep是形容词，意为"睡着的"．
62．what 考查连词．do是及物动词，缺少宾语，用what作其宾语，同时引导表语从句．
63．Their 考查代词．class是名词，其前用形容词性物主代词作定语．
64．singing 考查动名词．and是并列连词，它前后连接两个相同的语法成分，reading，writing，playing games 和singing English songs都是动名词作并列宾语．
65．were given 考查动词时态和语态．此处讲述已发生的事情，用一般过去时态，且They与give之间是动宾关系，用一般过去时的被动语态．
66．carefully 考查副词．watch是动词，用副词修饰．
67．but 考查连词．前后两个单句之间是转折关系，用连词but．
68．is 考查主谓一致．主语it是单数，且表示的是一般事实，用一般现在时态，be动词用is．
69．who/that 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词student在从句中作主语，用关系代词who/that．
70．as 考查介词．根据句意：获得一个两周的英国之旅作为奖励．用介词as．
