　　76. Abefore應該理解成“(幾百年過去了,人們) 才……”; 如果用after應該是…after centuries passed they took note of the fact…; 如果用until, 應該是they didn’t take note of the fact that…until centuries passed。

　　77. B此句意為：“他明天去巴黎,加上這次, 他就去了二十次了。”根據句意,應用將來完成時態。句中有back一詞, 故D不合適。

　　78. Bto use…, 不定式短語做way的定語, 只是因為定語太長,故將謂語前移,使句子避免頭重腳輕。by using表示方式, 做狀語用; using為動名詞, 不能做way 的定語, way要求不定式做定語; used, 無論從語法結構上還是從意義上都講不通。

　　79. A分詞短語做伴隨狀語, my footsteps與echo的關系是主動的,因此用現在分詞。另外, 分詞做伴隨狀語表示與謂語動詞的動作同時發生, 所以用其一般式。

　　80. A本句意為:“除了個人喜好外, 社會環境也會直接或間接地影響你使用的媒體和媒體的內容。例如, 家庭的其他成員常常選擇的媒體內容你就未必選, 可是你也得使用。”句中暗含了 “如果是你, 你就不會選” 的意思, 所以用虛擬語氣合適。should not have selected表示“本不應該選”; must not select表示“一定不要選”; cannot have selected表示“一定不能選”, 過于絕對。只有would not have selected 符合句意。
