　　Part ⅤError Correction

　　67. 本题考查上下文语义关系，unnecessary 改为necessary 。本句句意为:我们所谈及的人的需要，是指我们生活中必不可少的东西。据此，应用肯定意义的necessary。

　　68. 本题考查虚拟语气用法, will改为would。根据英语语法，与一般现在事实相反的虚拟语气，条件句用一般过去时，主句用would加动词原形。

　　69. 本题考查搭配关系, for改为 as。“be known as，被认为是…”， “be known for，因…而众所周知”。根据题意，应是be known as,即“这被称为营养不良”。

　　70. 本题考查定语从句的关系词，where改为which/that。此处引导定语从句的关系词在定语从句里必须充当主语，而where 在定语从句里作地点状语，没有作主语的功能，因此，where改为which或that。

　　71. 本题考查固定搭配，like改为as。“the same as…，与…同样的”，为固定搭配。

　　72. 本题考查上下文语义关系，developed改为undeveloped。考生做此题时要有全局意识。本句与下句是发达国家和不发达国家的两个对比。本句中whereas引出转折，前部分指“欠发达国家的人们只食用在其家园附近种植的食物”，而后部分指“发达国家的人们吃的是距其家好几千英里之外生长的食物”。之所以改成undeveloped 而不是underdeveloped是因为下句中也出现了undeveloped, 作为提示。

　　73. 本题考查介词用法，despite改为although/though。despite是介词，不能引导句子，如要引导，必须改成 “despite the fact that…, ”。比较简洁的方法是把despite改为although或though。

　　74. 本题考查习惯用法，by改为on。“live on (sth.), 继续生活, 以…为主食, 靠…生活”。“live by (doing sth.)，以…为生”。本句意思为:他们可以只吃一种肉。并且下文再次出现live on作为提示。

　　75. 本题考查固定搭配，like改为as。such as 为固定搭配。

　　76. 本题考查上下文语义关系，more改为less“no more necessary,表示否定，“不重要多少”; “no less necessary”是双重否定表示肯定，“同样必要”。
