分析 短文主要讲述一位在英国布莱顿上班的Coates 先生认为周末上班是很危险的，因为在6月24日周六，他去办公室做点事情，因为电梯出故障被困在里面，直到周二上午老板过去上班发现电梯坏了，请人过来修理，电梯打开后，Coates 先生才被发现，然后得救了．

解答 66-70 ABBBD
66．A；细节理解题，根据the boss of the company came to work and found the elevator was not working．描述可知，电梯出故障了，故选A．
67．B；考查细节题，根据He had been in the elevator for sixty-two hours!他已经在电梯里有62个小时了，排除C；由文章内容，他是在周六被困在电梯里，直到周二公司老板上班发现电梯坏了，才发现了他，可知他从周六到周二一直在电梯里，故选B．
68．B；细节理解题，根据With nothing to eat or drink，Mr Coates slept most of the time．没有吃的和喝的，Coates先生大部分时间在睡觉描述可知，大部分时间他在睡觉和等待，故选B．
69．B；文章内容理解题，根据When the elevator was opened，Mr Coates came out描述可知，直到有人开了电梯，Coates先生才出来，故选B．
70．D；选标题题，根据文章主要内容，讲述Coates 先生被困在电梯里的事情，故标题选D比较合适．
