73、，是一份报纸的名称，为单数概念，且应与上句中的uses时态保持一致，所以填has。4were published考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子成分可知，空处为句子的谓语，又与句子主语850 articles构成被动关系，故用被动语态，即bedone，且根据and可知，此处应与earned的时态保持一致，即一般过去时，所以填were published。5easier考查形容词的比较级。根据该句中的and可知，此处与faster并列，故用形容词的比较级形式作宾语补足语，所以填easier。6producing考查非谓语动词。介词后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，空处作介词by的宾语，所以填
74、producing。7to concentrate考查非谓语动词。the ability to do sth.“做某事的能力”是固定搭配，不定式作后置定语，所以填to concentrate。8truly考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空处应为副词，修饰动词benefit，所以填truly。9curiosity考查名词。分析句子结构可知，空处应为名词，作介词about 的宾语，所以填curiosity。10where考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导表语从句，在从句中作地点状语，结合语境可知，此处表示这些就是我们想让新闻工作者投入精力之所在，所以填where。.短文改错(2020“四省八校
