81．past→passed。考查形近词的辨析。本句缺谓语，past为介词，由语境可知应用pass“递，传递”；由本文的时态可知，此处应用动词pass的过去式passed。

80．inviting→invited。考查被动语态的用法。表示“被邀请”，用invited。

79．of→for。考查特定句式中介词的搭配。It is hard for sb. to do sth.“对某人来说做某事很困难”。若用of，则表明sb.与该形容词有逻辑上的主谓关系。

78．what→when。考查连词的用法。此处talk为不及物动词，不直接跟宾语；此处应用when与后面的句式对应。

77．for→as。考查形容词与介词的搭配。be famous as...“因为……而出名”；be famous for...“以……而出名”。
