解答 61．written 考查过去分词．story与write之间是动宾关系，用过去分词短语written by Mark Twain作定语修饰story．
62．as 考查介词．be famous as意为"作为…有名"，是固定搭配．
63．was spotted 考查动词时态和语态．全文讲述的是已发生的事情，要用一般过去时态，he与spot之间是动宾关系，用被动语态，助动词用was，即用一般过去时的被动语态．
64．and 考查连词．此处表示并列关系，要用并列连词and．
65．or 考查连词．在否定句中，or表示"和"之意．
66．for 考查介词．account for意为"说明〔解释〕…原因"，是固定搭配．
67．extremely 考查副词．upset是形容词，要用副词修饰．形容词extreme的副词是extremely．
68．what 考查疑问词．do是及物动词，缺少宾语，用what作其宾语．
69．calling 考查现在分词．somebody与call之间是主谓关系，用现在分词作宾语补足语．
70．a 考查冠词．note意为"钞票"，是可数名词，单数形式前要加不定冠词a．
