　　答案:
　　71. nothing --- everything 据上下文，农民们是自给自足，故应为everything
　　72. because --- although 下文中有yet，为让步状语从句，故用although
　　73. nineteen --- nineteenth 多少世纪用序数词表示
　　74. that --- what 宾语从句，用what引导
　　75. aroused --- rose/got up 此处意为“起床”，arouse一般做及物动词，为“唤醒”之意，但是百度里也有做“醒来”的不及物动词之意，希望大家一起探讨一下。
　　76. like --- as as意为 “把……作为…….”
　　77. complicated --- simple 据上下文，农民们只有“简单的”工具
　　78. consisted后加 of be consisted of 为固定搭配，意为“由……组成”
　　79. that --- which 定语从句，前面有to，只能用which，不能用that
　　80. and --- / although为转折词，不能用and，但是后面也不能加but
