详解：
61．答案known．考查过去分词．be known as因…而闻名，此处用过去分词作定语，修饰前文的"Samuel Langhorne Clemens"．
62．答案the．考查冠词．此处考查the+最高级结构，the greatest最伟大的．
63．答案up．考查介词．bring up为固定搭配，意为"养育，使成长"．
64．答案where．考查限制性定语从句．where引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词the print shops and newspaper offices，并在从句中充当地点状语．
65．答案to teach．考查不定式．persuade sb．to do sth．说服某人做某事，故填to teach．
66．答案unsuccessful．考查形容词．根据句意，在一次不成功的采金银矿之后，他加入了内华达州维吉尼亚城的报社，此空要填入一个形容词修饰名词attempt，意为"不成功的"，故填unsuccessful．
67．答案were collected．考查时态语态．根据句意，他的旅行信件被收入流行的《傻子出国记》．letters与collect之间为被动关系，时态为过去，故用一般过去时的被动语态，即were collected．
68．答案including．考查非谓语．这句话谓语为wrote，谓语动词与include之间没有并列连词，排除作并列谓语的可能性，考虑非谓语．seven novels与include之间为主动关系，故V-ing形式表示主动，填including．句意：1889年，他写了七部小说包括密西西比河系列．
69．答案As．考查连词．根据句意，随着生活和事业的进步，他放弃了太多早年写作时的幽默风格．as引导时间状语从句，表示"随着…"．
70．答案that．考查表语从句．空格前的was是一个系动词，系动词之后的从句为表语从句．表语从句采用"主+系+表"结构，句子成分完整，用that引导表语从句．

点评 作答之前，要先对题干进行详细阅读，检查题目中是否有提示词语存在；而后判断出所填词语在句子中所充当的句子成分，例如，主语、谓语等；最后根据其所充当的句子成分，加之其所处句子的语态等，选择词语的正确形式，例如，动词的现在分词或者过去分词，或者形容词的比较或者最高级的使用等．
在句子中没有提示词或者标志词存在时，考生要根据句子中所填词语的位置，判断所填词语的词性，例如，连接词、定冠词或者不定冠词、代词或者介词等．定冠词以及不定冠词的位置通常在名词之前，起到对名词进行限制的作用．而代词则分为形容词性物主代词、名词性代词、指示代词和不定代词等．在运用介词的时候，往往考查介词的固定搭配，其中包括动词、形容词等与介词的搭配．
