80、few months为并列关系,且此句是否定句,因此要用or连接。65.to reduce 解析:考查非谓语动词之动词不定式。句中it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式,故用to reduce。该句结构为It takes+时间+to do sth.。句意:减少工业污染和清理水需要数年的工作。66.cleaner 解析:考查形容词比较级。从后面的than可知此处要用比较级,因此要用cleaner。67.that/which 解析:考查定语从句的引导词。定语从句的先行词为前面的habit。而该定语从句缺少主语,因此要用that或which引导。68.amazing 解析:考查词性转换之动词变为形容词。此处用形容词修饰名词stories。amaze的形容词有两个,一个是amazing,另一个是amazed。修饰物(stories)当然用amazing。69.changes 解析:考查名词复数。前面是定冠词the。因此后面用名词,再由谓语动词are可知此空要用其名词的复数形式。故填changes。70.patient 解析:考查词性转换之名词变为形容词。此处用形容词作be的表语。名词patience(耐心)的形容词形式是patient(有耐心的)。
