答案解析
本文作者记叙从香港来到桂林阳朔的日记。
61. arrived 当一个动作正在发生时突然又发生另外一事，when后的谓语动词用一般过去时。
62. before 由后文“我还在香港的家里”而现在来到了阳朔，可见是“几个小时之前”。
63. its 指“香港的”令人窒息的烟雾。
64. which/that 引导定语从句，先行词是mountain tops and dark waters。
65. paintings 因受many修饰，要用复数形式。
66. by 指坐车一个小时的路程。
67. is 指目前的状态或客观存在的状态。
68. conducted 由conduct a study /survey (进行研究/调查)可知，a study与conduct是被动关系，用过去分词短语作后置定语。
70. living 因people与live是主动关系，用现在分词短语作后置定语。
