61、In 1981 children in the United States spent an average of slightly less than two and a half hours a week doing household （chores; by 1997 they had spent nearly six hours a week）.
A. chores; by 1997 they had spent nearly six hours a week {错误的不是时态，而是they 指代同一群小孩，这是不合理的，毕竟经过了十几年}
B. chores; by 1997 that figure had grown to nearly six hours a week {无语法错误，用分号则前一句和后一句的主语不必完全对称}
C. chores, whereas nearly six hours a week were spent in 1997
{whereas最好主语对称，这里比较children和six hours a week,不对称）
D. chores, compared with a figure of nearly six hours a week in 1997 (这个对比歧义){AGREE}
E. chores, that figure growing to nearly six hours a week in 1997 {对比上述选项这个选项最难看，直接忽略}
答案 B C哪里错了啊，这个考点在哪里啊？？？
62、Traffic safety officials predict that drivers will be（ equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as） the current one.
A. equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as
B. equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are
C. equally likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as
D. as likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as
E. as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are
{逻辑含义是同一帮司机在不同情况下的表现，they are 后面省略了to exceed, as likely as 个人认为优于equally like as,所以选E不选B}
答案 E E中的they指的是drivers 但是比较的却是限速的多少。。。。怎么会是E？？？
