答案 ：

61 of.本题考查固定搭配。consist of“包含”。“它们由一个核心遗传物质组成，被一个带有蛋白质穗的包膜所包围。

62 surrounded.本题考查非谓语动词。本句话有谓语consist of，所以用非谓语动词，“genetic material”与“surround”是被动关系。

63 .are 本题考查主谓一致。本句话主语是different types of corona viruses。而且这篇文章通篇都是一般现在时，这里讲的是一个事实，所以用“are”。

64 unnecessary.本题考查形容词用法。空格后面是名词“contact”，所以用形容词修饰，根据上下文，这里表示“不需要的”。所以用“unnecessary”。意思：“可以采取的预防动物源感染的措施包括避免与动物不必要的接触，与动物或动物产品接触后洗手以及确保在食用动物产品之前将其彻底煮熟。”

65 are cooked.本题考查谓语动词。这是ensuring后的宾语从句，缺谓语。从全文以及后面的are consumed时态推断，用一般现在时。

66 gloves. 本题考查名词用法。后面them提示用名词复数。

67 where.本题考查定语从句。先行词是situation，定语从句主谓宾齐全，用关系副词作状语。Situation后选where。

68 Keep.本题考查祈使句。

69 the.本题考查冠词。此处为特指，手套戴在手指上。

70 worn.本题考查非谓语动词。When后省略they are.口罩是被戴上。意思：“口罩在户外佩戴时毫无用处，即使在室内用处也不大。”
