61．答案是B．理判斷題．根據(jù)文章最后一句It/That figures!（informal）：That seems reasonable，logical and what I expect．It figures．意為：是這樣．所以答案選D．
62．答案是C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)語境可知這里的figure是指體型的意思．watch my figure注意體型．正是第7層意思：7[C]the human shape，considered from the point of view of being attractively thin：doing exercise to improve one's figure．所以答案選C．
