　　75.C从语法结构看，这里需要一个定语从句，修饰lives，which在从句中作主语。

　　76.A attention此处的意思是“考虑，关心，照料”，不是“注意、专心”的意思，因此不用短语pay attention to或give attention to，而且此句是虚拟语气，表示和过去的事实相反，A项正确。

　　77.B 从上下文的意思来看，这里是转折的意思，因此用but.

　　78.D 本句的意思是“但是今天如果我们能充分利用飞机的优势的话，这种医疗援助就能更快、更容易带给这些人。”因此用介词to，表示“给予”。

　　79.B 根据上下文含义，only if(只有)符合逻辑关系。

　　85.D The number of“……的数目”，为单数概念，所以动词用is.另外注意此句中否定短语in no other country提前，所以主句用倒装。

　　86.B 根据上下文表示的意思是average person“人均”或“平均每人”。

　　87.D it has been said：据说。本句含义是：据说澳大利亚人坐飞机就像其他国家人坐火车和公共汽车一样。

　　88.C as：如同……，引导方式状语从句。其他意义不符。

　　89.A therefore：adv.因此，所以，表示结果，从上文的原因得出最终的结论。
