参考答案：
71.C all over the world：在世界上，固定搭配。
72.D成千上万的人都在这不幸的处境中。po-sition：n.处境，状况。placed in an awkward
position：处于困窘之境地。
73.A where引导定语从句，修饰places.
74.D从上下文的意思看是“成千上万人的生命”。
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。
80.A take full advantage of：充分利用。
81.D 根据句子的含义，要在名词country的前面加否定词。not一般放在助动词的后面，no一般放在名词的前面表示否定。
82.A 本句含义为：没有一个国家在这方面比澳大利亚做的更好;其余选项的意思均不正确。
83.D make use of：充分利用。因为是叙述一般的事实――澳大利亚人比世界上任何国家的人都能充分利用飞机――因此用一般现在时。
84.C than any other people in the world：表示比世界上其余的任何民族;这里people指民族。比较级+than+any other+单数名词表示“比其他任何……都……”。
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。
90.B develop：开发，发展。本句意为：“因此澳大利亚率先实行空中医生服务，是不会让人吃惊的。”
