分析 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了我和哥哥在德国南部的一个小镇过圣诞节的故事．
解答 61．we 考查代词．根据前面的My family objected violently when my brother and I said可知，我和我的哥哥是两个人，故用we我们．
62．to stay 考查动词短语．短语persuade sb to do sth说服某人做某事，后面使用不定式充当宾语补足语．句意：但是没有任何事情可以说服我们留下来．
63．before 考查连词．连词before在…前面．在时间状语前面可以加表示一段时间的名词短语，如two weeks after their marriage他们结婚两周后．句意：圣诞节前两天，我们去了德国南部的一个小镇．
64．the 考查冠词．此处the whole of…指整个的，特别是whole前需the．
65．excitement 考查名词．根据前面的our可知，后需用名词形式，城市里许多活动增加了我们的兴奋．
66．and 考查连词．句意：街上挤满了人，商店里都是很棒的东西．根据句意可知上下文为并列关系，所以使用并列连词and．
67．brightly 考查副词．在英语中通常使用副词充当状语修饰形容词或者副词．本句中使用副词brightly修饰decorated．
68．looking 考查动词．句子里we 和look之间是主动关系，故用现在分词表示伴随状况．
69．were shut 考查被动语态．句意为所有的商店包括饭店都是关门的，这里表示一种状态．
70．where 考查连接词．分析句式可知，此处是一个定语从句，从句中缺状语，home表示地点，故用where．
点评 考生在对题目进行作答之前，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．
