foreign languages. Now there are many reasons about this, --72--! D M; z) Z9 l) r5 t4 G
some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest

that pronounce a foreign language is a skill, one that --75--8 \/ F# P% B8 U9 z- _" T$ {2 m

I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the

& x. `( O1 `3 g3 ?; P% }) S/ c+ i0 w2 q5 r- g, e3 D( ]2 |2 Z
答案：& q3 i% i) p1 I
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。9 Z/ h/ g u9 M2 {2 c( o. p' M* n: U
72. about→for。reason与介词for搭配，表示“……的原因”。! q T8 L0 J A8 ^
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。. s r2 I2 v2 C1 r& i/ `1 W
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。/ n% H' ]9 h3 A6 B
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。
; o2 ?' ^" v& p9 G' M76. 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。" f/ N4 p7 S9 B, O0 B+ 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。
: s8 i7 Q) h, T* w78. 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。
% l7 m. s0 j ^: r6 Y) M7 j' w79. 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。' I; j: b3 F3 g ?% g7 q0 m8 \) J
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。 |
