Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述孩子们的穿着越来越漂亮和时髦．而在大约120年前，孩子们的服装则是受到限制及穿得不舒服的．

解答 61．are allowed 考查动词时态和语态． children与allow之间是动宾关系，且表示一般事实，用一般现在时的被动语态．
62．a 考查冠词．trend是可数名词，单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指．
63．adults 考查名词．此处是名词复数作定语，即"成人服装"．
64．ago 考查副词．根据句意：大约120年前．用副词ago．
65．reached 考查动词时态．此处讲述的是过去的事情，要用一般过去时态．
66．families 考查名词复数．根据上下文语境，"富有的家庭"不只一个，要用复数形式．
67．with 考查介词．with意为"有，带有"．
68．or 考查连词．根据句意：他们的头发长到齐肩长或更长．用连词or．
69．restrictive 考查形容词．and是并列连词，它前后连接两个相同的语法成分，restrictive和uncomfortable都是形容词作定语．
70．wearing 考查动名词．to是介词，后接动词时用动名词形式．
