解答 61．known 62．the 63．up 64．where 65．to teach
66．unsuccessful 67．were collected 68．including 69．As 70．that
詳解：
61．答案known．考查過去分詞．be known as因…而聞名，此處用過去分詞作定語，修飾前文的"Samuel Langhorne Clemens"．
62．答案the．考查冠詞．此處考查the+最高級結構，the greatest最偉大的．
63．答案up．考查介詞．bring up為固定搭配，意為"養(yǎng)育，使成長"．
64．答案where．考查限制性定語從句．where引導限制性定語從句修飾先行詞the print shops and newspaper offices，并在從句中充當?shù)攸c狀語．
65．答案to teach．考查不定式．persuade sb．to do sth．說服某人做某事，故填to teach．
66．答案unsuccessful．考查形容詞．根據(jù)句意，在一次不成功的采金銀礦之后，他加入了內華達州維吉尼亞城的報社，此空要填入一個形容詞修飾名詞attempt，意為"不成功的"，故填unsuccessful．
67．答案were collected．考查時態(tài)語態(tài)．根據(jù)句意，他的旅行信件被收入流行的《傻子出國記》．letters與collect之間為被動關系，時態(tài)為過去，故用一般過去時的被動語態(tài)，即were collected．
68．答案including．考查非謂語．這句話謂語為wrote，謂語動詞與include之間沒有并列連詞，排除作并列謂語的可能性，考慮非謂語．seven novels與include之間為主動關系，故V-ing形式表示主動，填including．句意：1889年，他寫了七部小說包括密西西比河系列．
69．答案As．考查連詞．根據(jù)句意，隨著生活和事業(yè)的進步，他放棄了太多早年寫作時的幽默風格．a(chǎn)s引導時間狀語從句，表示"隨著…"．
70．答案that．考查表語從句．空格前的was是一個系動詞，系動詞之后的從句為表語從句．表語從句采用"主+系+表"結構，句子成分完整，用that引導表語從句．

點評 作答之前，要先對題干進行詳細閱讀，檢查題目中是否有提示詞語存在；而后判斷出所填詞語在句子中所充當?shù)木渥映煞郑�例如，主語、謂語等；最后根據(jù)其所充當?shù)木渥映煞�，加之其所處句子的語態(tài)等，選擇詞語的正確形式，例如，動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞或者過去分詞，或者形容詞的比較或者最高級的使用等．
在句子中沒有提示詞或者標志詞存在時，考生要根據(jù)句子中所填詞語的位置，判斷所填詞語的詞性，例如，連接詞、定冠詞或者不定冠詞、代詞或者介詞等．定冠詞以及不定冠詞的位置通常在名詞之前，起到對名詞進行限制的作用．而代詞則分為形容詞性物主代詞、名詞性代詞、指示代詞和不定代詞等．在運用介詞的時候，往往考查介詞的固定搭配，其中包括動詞、形容詞等與介詞的搭配．
