Answer 1

分析 短文主要对流行音乐的起源和发展进行介绍．

解答 61．best，考查最高级，根据语境表示"最喜欢"应使用最高级best．  
62．favourite，考查名词，表示"我的最爱"使用名词favourite．  
63．was invented，考查谓语，句子描述的是过去的事件，使用一般过去时，invent和主语 the electric guitar构成被动的关系，因此使用一般过去时的被动语态．
64．of，考查固定搭配，a range of"一系列"．  
65．increasingly，考查副词，此处应使用副词修饰谓语动词．
66．the，考查冠词，表示特指应使用定冠词the．
67．followed，考查被动语态，follow与主语he构成被动的关系，因此使用be done的形式．  
68．theirs，考查代词，此处表示"他们的音乐第一次流行起来"，应使用their的名词性物主代词theirs．
69．spread，考查时态，根据语境表示的是过去的事件，应使用一般过去时，spread的过去式是spread．  
70．who/that，考查定语从句，句子先行词是young people，引导定语从句使用who/that．

点评 对于语法填空这类题，一是懂得分析句子结构，二是知道充当各个句子成分的词类或词性，从语法上确定答案，当然，对于某些固定搭配也要牢记，在平时的学习中要多积累这些词汇或短语，对于句子使用的时态语态也要通过语境进行确定．
