【分析】本题为补全对话题，需结合电话交流的场景、上下文逻辑及日常交际用语作答。76题是电话接通后找特定对象的常用表达；77题回应是否有空，需结合后文A要做调查的语境；78题根据B提到的玫瑰（植物类）的喜好判断；79题根据A说明喜欢动物的原因推导；80题根据A提到养宠物鸟的内容提问。
【解析】76. 电话用语中，自报姓名后若要找特定对象，常用“Could I speak to + 姓名？”，结合B的回答“This is Mark speaking”，故填Could I speak to Mark?；77. 问句为一般疑问句“Are you free today?”，结合后文A要做调查，需用肯定回答，故填Yes./Yes, I'm free today.；78. B提到“roses（玫瑰，属于植物）是最好的花”，说明更喜欢植物，故填I like plants better.；79. B询问A的喜好，A后文解释“动物是朋友”，说明更喜欢动物，故填I like animals better.；80. A回答“养了宠物鸟”，故B提问是否养宠物，填Do you keep a pet?（答案合理即可）。
【答案】76. Could I speak to Mark? 77. Yes./Yes, I'm free today. 78. I like plants better. 79. I like animals better. 80. Do you keep a pet? (答案不唯一,合理即可)
