　　87. Owing to (或 thanks to) a series of new inventions (多亏了一系列的新发明），doctors can treat this disease successfully.

　　88.In my sixties, one change I notice is that  I am apt to 或 inclined to be more easily tired than before(我比以前更容易累了)。

　　此句中翻译比较结构不是难点，大家应该都能翻，但是如果把这句简单翻译成 I feel more easily tired 得分应该不会太高。

　　89. I am going to pursue this course, no matter whatever sacrifices I will make (无论我要作出什么样的牺牲）.

　　90. I would prefer shopping online to shopping in a department store because the latter is more convenient and time-saving (它更加方便和省时）.

　　91.Many Americans live on credit, and their quality of life is weighed upon how much they can borrow   (是用他们能够借道多少来衡量的）, not how much they can earn.

　　此句翻译时一定要注意和后面how much they can earn 的呼应。
