Some experts, who regard language primarily as a code using symbols to represent sounds, 73 reading as simply the decoding of symbols to the sounds they stand 74 .

　　These authorities 75 that meaning, being concerned with thinking, must be taught independently of the decoding process. Others maintain that reading is 76 related to thinking, and that a child who pronounces sounds without 77 their meaning is not truly reading. The reader, 78 to some, is not just a person with a theoretical ability to read but one who 79 reads.

　　68. C 介詞用法題。本句中的to是介詞，應(yīng)該接名詞或動名詞。結(jié)合其后and describing the reading process可知，應(yīng)選C。

　　69. A 詞義辨析題。兩個分句的謂語分別是agree和disagree，由此可知，這兩個分句應(yīng)為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故選A。

　　70. A 詞義辨析題。involve意為“卷入，包括”，take意為“拿走，獲得”，reveal意為“顯示，揭露”，invite意為“邀請”，結(jié)合句意“專家們認(rèn)為閱讀________更高的、更復(fù)雜的智力活動”，A最符合。
