- H4 H. h/ M8 l( w6 R- M e答案：; ?/ x. _. p# w; _
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。
) p9 p7 X; F u! S$ k, e72. about→for。reason与介词for搭配，表示“……的原因”。
+ O6 P- @6 G9 F% {+ q73. 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。 j; q' R. [: z( i: O+ F( f- A8 f
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。8 L% s1 W, x& X# v$ J. k* |
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。
2 z5 S+ r1 s6 b5 e/ o- S& G% x5 Q9 w76. 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。
! d! H" C1 y D# T& [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。
1 C7 E A+ l- F9 _( J78. 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。
' ~: a) ^7 C2 B: C, w$ |79. 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。7 ^! f, e! {2 N2 M+ a
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。 |
