（2015·全国卷I）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Yangshuo, China
It was raining lightly when I 61 (arrive) in Yangshuo just before dawn. But I didn't care. A few hours 62 , I'd been at home in Hong Kong, with 63 (it) choking smog. Here, the air was clean and fresh, even with the rain.
I'd skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River 64 are pictured by artists in so many Chinese 65 (painting). Instead, I'd headed straight for Yangshuo. For those who fly to Guilin, it's only an hour away 66 car and offers all the scenery of the better-known city.
Yangshuo 67 (be) really beautiful. A study of travellers 68 (conduct) by the website TripAdvisor names Yangshuo as one of the top 10 destinations in the world. And the town is fast becoming a popular weekend destination for people in Asia. Abercrombie & Kent, a travel company in Hong Kong, says it 69 (regular) arranges quick getaways here for people 70 (live) in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

66. by 考查固定搭配。从桂林乘车到这里仅用一个小时。by car\乘汽车\。 67. is 考查动词时态。本句描述阳朔景色之美，应用一般现在时。
68. conducted 考查非谓语动词。空处为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰\travelers\。
69.regularly 考查副词。本空修饰动词，应填regularly。
70. living 考查非谓语动词。空处与\之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词短语作后置定语。
