　　large tallow candles ,in the highest tower of his castle .

　　Thus he warned passing ship from the danger --72--

　　along the coast.

　　Candles soon became the common fuel for signal lights.

　　They were later replaced by oil lamps,

　　that could burn longer and brighter. Kerosene and --73--

　　gas lamps also tried .These are still in use now in --74--

　　some smaller lighthouses. But today most lighthouses

　　答案：

　　71. hang 意作“悬挂”时，时态变化“hang，hung，hung”;意作“吊死，该死”时，时态变化为“hang ，hanged ，hanged”。此处作“悬挂”讲，且全篇叙述都用的是过去时，所以应该使用过去式hung。

　　72. “warn sb of sth ”为固定搭配，所以将from改成of。

　　73. 定语从句中，如先行词后出现逗号，为非限制性定语从句，则关系代词应用which。

　　74. “tired”不是动词，是分词形式的形容词。一个句子中不可能没有谓语动词，所以填上一个“were”，因为“be tired”表示“劳累”。

　　75. “B.ut today ”暗示这句话应转为现在时，所以应把过去式sent改成现在时send。

　　76. “modern lighthouse”辩认identify 的对象是它自己，所以应该使用反身代词itself。

　　77. 此句意思是“light”像“giant firefly ”，as不表示“像”的意思，所以将其改成like。

　　78. 动词变成形容词修饰名词时，如果与名词是主谓关系，动词变成-ing形式，如果与名词是动宾关系，动词变成过去分词形式。“light”与“revolve”应是主谓关系，所以应用动名词形式revolving来修饰名词light。

　　79. How 与however后面直接接形容词，然后再加名词，如：How beautiful the flowers are !what 与whatever后面直接接名词，如：What beautiful flowers!此句应用whatever，因为 其后紧跟着一个名词“the signal”。

　　80. and 前后句子结构对称，“cet6w.com it is ”与“where it isolated”对称，不需要being。另外，此处强调的是状态，不是动作，“being”表示正在定位于何处。
