【要点综述】该篇短文前面否定“100liststodo”的种种弊端，最后推出自己的101ThingsNOTtoDoBeforeYouDie，很明显是一则常见的广告。

60.D　细节理解题。

从SwimwithDolphins下面材料中的第一段最后一句可知和海豚一起游泳会给海豚带来危险。

61.B　细节理解题。

在GotoSeetheMonaLisa的材料中，作者反复论证了gotoseetheMonaLisa的诸多弊端，每年大量的游客前往参观，个人不可能有预想的观赏效果。

62.D　推理判断题。

该文采取先抑后扬的写作技巧，其目的是要提出不同的观点。

63.A　写作意图题。

该篇材料最后点出写作目的，即为101ThingsNOTtoDoBeforeYouDie打广告。
