88、析：考查过去分词作定语的用法。设空处作定语修饰It，又因为print与It之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且print所表示的动作已完成，故填printed。63there解析：考查there be句型。设空处所在句意为：在第一期NewsLetter上只有一则广告。故填there。64reporting解析：考查动词ing形式作定语的用法。设空处修饰news，又因为news与report之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且report所表示的动作与主句谓语动作同时发生，故填reporting。65successful解析：考查形容词作表语的用法。设空处作表语，意为“成功的”，故填successful。66was
89、 taken解析：考查一般过去时的被动语态。由前面的In 1722可知，设空处是对过去事实的描述，应用一般过去时，又因为Boston NewsLetter与take over之间是被动关系，故填was taken。67more解析：考查形容词比较级。由后面的than before可知，应用形容词比较级，故填more。68who解析：考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明John Draper，且在从句中作主语，故填who。69to be解析：考查不定式作宾语的用法。prove to be.意为“证明是”。70towns解析：考查名词复数。town是可数名词且在此表泛指，故填复数形式
