# X* K7 E1 X! j9 V答案：0 B% H* C& B* X1 R
71.and→but。and表示递进并列关系；but表示转折关系。根据上下文应用but。' r/ I* {- n4 f0 G+ w/ d
72. about→for。reason与介词for搭配，表示“……的原因”。2 u' y) d7 M3 _9 o/ v
73. very better→very much better。very不能修饰形容词的比较级，只能用much,far, very much, a lot, any, no, rather, a little, a bit修饰。7 D( Q. C8 p7 k& s+ @/ K
74. by→in。by the way：顺便说一下；in the right way：以正确的方式，又如：in your own way：以自己的方式。) O0 T% N6 ^ x1 h! l
75. pronounce→pronouncing。在that 引导的宾语从句中主语是动名词短语pronouncing a foreign language,原形动词（这里为pronounce）不能作主语。
4 @$ b8 J8 n- c! Q' r, {76. himself→itself。one在本句中不是指人，所以其反身代词可用itself，而不用himself。+ A6 A$ M6 R6 m. o! Y* J* ?+ S5 f
77. concerning→concerned。be concerned with：关于，如：The book is chiefly concerned with history。concerning作分词用，意为“涉及到”，此处不仅词义不当，而且concering后绝不能加with。
f0 E5 D* q( x; y. J H78. may→should。may表示推测、请求、允许或祝愿：should表示义务、建议、惊奇、推测等。这里讲的是老师的义务，故应该为should。
+ k+ o+ K& B4 m3 v) E79. worth→worthy。 worth可用在两个结构中，后面跟ing形式。1)用先行词it作主语，如：it isn't worth getting upset。2)用名次或代词作主语，如：The book is not worth reading. worthy 多用于worthy of + n. or be worthy to + v. 结构中，也可用作定语，如：a cause worthy of support/ a man who is worthy to have a place in the team/ a worthy winner。# g4 v. ` p. M# X
80. where→when。occasion是指动作发生的时机而不是地点，故应用表示时间的副词引导的定语从句修饰occasion。 |
