答案解析：
61. built 根据原文“The adobe dwellings(土坯房)___61___(build) by the Pueblo Indians...”，可知此处为过去分词作后置定语，修饰“dwellings”，表示“由普韦布洛印第安人建造的土坯房”，所以填built。
62. the 根据原文“...are admired by even ___62___ most modern of architects and engineers.”，可知此处为形容词最高级前加定冠词“the”的固定用法，表示“最现代的建筑师和工程师”，所以填the。
63. ability 根据原文“...what makes the adobe dwellings admirable is their __63___(able)...”，可知此处为形容词性物主代词“their”后接名词，表示“他们的能力”，所以填ability。
64. using 根据原文“...to “air condition”a house without ___64__(use)exectic equipment.”，可知此处为介词“without”后接动名词的固定用法，表示“不使用特殊设备”，所以填using。
65. slowly 根据原文“...give out that heat__65___(slow)during cool nights”，可知此处为副词修饰动词“give out”，表示“在凉爽的夜晚慢慢释放热量”，所以填slowly。
66. to cool 根据原文“...are now cold enough __66 _ (cool) the house during the hot day”，可知此处为形容词“enough”后接不定式的固定用法，表示“足够冷以在白天给房子降温”，所以填to cool。
67. at 根据原文“__67__ the same time, they warm up again for the night.”，可知此处为固定短语“at the same time”，表示“同时”，所以填at。
68. goes 根据原文“This cycle __68 __ (go) day after day.”，可知此处为一般现在时，主语“This cycle”为单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，表示“这个循环日复一日地进行”，所以填goes。
69. natural 根据原文“As __69__(nature) architects, the Pueblo Indians...”，可知此处为形容词修饰名词“architects”，表示“作为天然的建筑师”，所以填natural。
70. how 根据原文“...the Pueblo Indians figured out exactly__70__thick the adobe walls needed to be...”，可知此处为宾语从句，连接词表示“多么”，修饰形容词“thick”，所以填how。
