　　答案与解析:

　　76. so→and。该题是考查句式之间的逻辑关系错误,状语with my fellow players干扰性很强,可调整为we've got several games with my fellow players,与I'm the captain of our school team之间有并列而无因果关系。

　　77.对。每年的NMET短文改错试题均设计一题无错点。

　　78. will后加be。句中will为助动词,其后应接动词原形,而important game是名词性短语,在句中作表语,故will后应加be。

　　79. then→now。句中just then指"正在那时",显然其词义不符合句意,而just now表示"现在,眼下",使句意完整。

　　80. once→any。该句句意是指"现在我再也不打篮球了。"而句中once more指"再一次,"其显然使句意不符合逻辑,any more与前面的否定词not构成短语not...any more表示"不再,再也不"。

　　81.删去in。该句动词spend有其习惯搭配,spend (time/money)(in) doing something表示"花费(时间/金钱)做某事",句中spend为及物动词,可直接接宾语。

　　82. to→for。该句考查习惯表达,表示"对某人感到同情,为某人感到遗憾"常用feel sorry for somebody。

　　83. go→going。此处应用动名词短语going to college作主语,与playing sports对比,并且要结构形式相同。

　　84. was→is。此处考查时态错误,college was the only place for a smart boy like his son.与前句going to college is more important than playing sports是and连接的并列句,两句应用相同的时态,即一般现在时态。

　　85. his→their。此处考查人称代词所指代的一致性,该句应用形容词性物主代词their指代his parents'。
