解析：
61．答案a．考查冠词．experience作"经历"讲时为可数名词，此处a shocking experience为"一段令人震惊的经历"，泛指某一段经历，故填a．
62．答案stuck．考查动词过去分词．have sth done为固定搭配，某事/某物被做．此处metal wires金属线与stick插入之间为被动关系，金属线被插入乘客的座椅．故填过去分词stuck．
63．答案is pushed．考查时态语态．when引导的时间状语从句，主句用一般将来时（will give），从句用一般现在时，此空为从句谓语，用一般现在时．主语a button按钮与谓语动词push按压之间为被动关系，故需填入一般现在时的被动语态，即am/is/are+done．主语a button为第三人称单数，填is pushed．
64．答案for．考查介词．for fun可视为固定搭配，意为"为了好玩，为了消遣，开玩笑地"．
65．答案that/who．考查定语从句．此处that/who引导的定语从句修饰空格前的tourists游客，且that/who在从句中充当主语．意为：他们会向那些争论不合理收费的乘客做出这种行为．
66．答案as．考查固定搭配．此空考查as…as+倍数，是倍数的表达法之一．故填as．
67．答案faster．考查形容词比较级．根据句意：他们有一个隐秘的按钮能让公里数更快．much可修饰形容词的比较级，故填faster．
68．答案but．考查连词．句意：她说"她真的被骗了"，但她能做什么呢？前后为转折关系，故填but．
69．答案electric．考查形容词．空格后的shock为名词，意为"令人震惊的事，震惊，休克，打击"，空格前the为冠词，冠词+形容词+名词可当作固定结构，electricity为名词，电、电力，其形容词为electric．the electric shock指电击．
70．答案or．考查连词．句意：坐公交车或者呆在家．前后为选择关系，填连词or，或者，要么．
点评 本题主要考查了用单词或短语的适当形式填空．做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识．本题考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等．因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识．

15．If You Get In，Make College CountAs tuition costs rise，with post-undergraduate （本科毕业后） jobs difficult to find，is higher education worth the cost？
Here is an unfortunate truth：For far too many incoming freshmen，college-any college-is not worth it．Year after year，students fail to get the full value of their tuition．
Many critics blame this cost/value problem on the universities，though each critic might point to a different reason：teachers always think of difficult research，the high costs of athletics，or the popularity of majors that are supposedly not suited to the new job market，to name some of their favorites．
But these are symptoms and not the illness itself．In our experience，the source of the wasted university experience begins with the student．Too often，students make bad choices or，frankly，just not enough great choices．
Too often we meet students who are so exhausted by the business of getting into college that they don't work hard once they arrive-one of the most common wastes of time and tuition．A poorly constructed transcript （成绩单） can be destructive to a student's education．Failure to engage and build professional working relationships with professors in office hours （which may lead to continued study，internships and more） also hurts the student's experience．
Another mistake is failing to make use of the many support networks on today's college campuses．It's almost embarrassing how many good offerings are rolled into each tuition dollar，but most students don't know they exist．
Another common point of failure is filling the schedule with too many extracurricular activities as students once did in high school，rather than getting intensely involved in one or two at most．The same can be said of overburdened course loads．
The final great failure we frequently see is the approach students （and their parents） take to selecting a major and accurately seeing its impact on a future career．University systems are not vocational schools．While critics nowadays complain about the attraction of useless majors-and some do exist-more frequently we see too many students pursue a course of study that is not their strength，simply because it seems to have obvious connections to a potential job after graduation．
Rather than perform poorly in a"practical"major and be of little interest as a future job candidate，we say it is better to major in a subject where a student would do well and master the tools of communication and analysis．Students who choose a unique major should complement （使更具有吸引力） that with some well-chosen skill courses，internships and other co-curricular activities that help with career opportunities after college．
So，is college worth it？It can be．Studies show that college graduates have many advantages-material，social and emotional-that can lead to greater success later in life．
To get the full value out of college，students must be as diligent and creative about getting out of college as they were about getting in．After all，the most beautiful，Olympic saltwater pool does you no good if you don't know how to swim．
