分析 短文主要讲了竞争给人们带来的好处和坏处．
解答 61．to come，考查不定式，用来修饰名词desire应使用动词不定式充当其后置定语．
62．that，考查表语从句，位于be动词is后的表语从句成分完整，应使用that引导．
63．performance，考查名词，位于形容词性物主代词their后应使用perform的名词形式performance．
64．is，考查主谓一致，句子的主语是the competition，因此be动词使用单数形式is．
65．making，考查动名词，by是介词，后接动词时使用其动名词形式．
66．the，考查冠词，形容词最高级前使用定冠词the．
67．exciting，考查形容词，用来修饰thing使用excite的形容词形式exciting．
68．are encouraged，考查语态，encourage与主语politicians构成被动的关系，因此使用被动语态be done的形式．
69．certainly，考查副词，此处应使用副词修饰谓语动词．
70．on/upon，考查介词，表示"对…造成的影响"，effect后使用介词on/upon．
