Question

3．One day，Nick invited his friends to supper．He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen．Suddenly，he （16）found   （find） that he had run out of salt．So Nick called to his son，"Go to the village and buy some salt，but pay a fair price for it：neither too much （17）nor   too little．"
His son looked surprised．"I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much，F(xiàn)ather，but if I can pay less，
（18）why   not save a bit of money？"
"That would be a very （19）reasonable   （reason） thing to do in a big city，but it could destroy a small village like ours，"Nick said．
Nick's guests，（20）who   had heard their conversation，asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could．Nick replied，"The only reason a man would sell salt （21）at   a lower price would be because he was desperate for money．And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect （22）for   
the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it．"
"But such a small thing couldn't （23）possibly   （possible） destroy a village．"
"In the beginning，there was only （24）a   very small amount of unfairness in the world，but everyone added a little，always （25）thinking   （think） that it was only small and not very important，and look where we have ended up today．"

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇記敘文．本文關(guān)于Nick叫兒子去買(mǎi)鹽要給合理價(jià)格的故事．通過(guò)這個(gè)故事作者說(shuō)明了一個(gè)道理：世上的不公平本來(lái)沒(méi)這么明顯，正是由于眾人的一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的改變，使得這些不公平愈演愈烈．我們一定要公平對(duì)待他人，尊重努力工作的人的汗水和努力．

解答 16．found 考查動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去式．根據(jù)上下文的時(shí)態(tài)可知，用一般過(guò)去時(shí)．故填found．
17．nor   考查連詞搭配．  根據(jù)句意及句中"neither"可知，這里是"neither …nor"，固定結(jié)構(gòu)，表示既不…也不…．故填nor．
18．why   考查連詞．  why not do sth．"為什么不做某事"固定句型．故填why．
19．reasonable 考查形容詞． 根據(jù)名詞前作定語(yǔ)要用形容詞可知，這里結(jié)構(gòu)形式為：a/an+形容詞+單數(shù)名詞．故填reasonable．
20．who  考查定語(yǔ)從句的連詞．先行詞是Nick's guests（指人），定語(yǔ)從句中缺少主語(yǔ)．故填who．
21．a(chǎn)t   考查介詞．根據(jù)習(xí)慣搭配at a price"以什么的價(jià)格"可知，介詞at符合語(yǔ)境，故填at．
22．for   考查介詞．根據(jù)固定短語(yǔ) show respect for sth可知，介詞for符合語(yǔ)境，故填for．
23．possibly  考查副詞．根據(jù)修飾謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用副詞可知，這里用副詞修飾動(dòng)詞destroy，做狀語(yǔ)．特別要注意possible的副詞形式（去e變y）．
24．a(chǎn)      考查冠詞．根據(jù)搭配"a small amount of sth，少量的．"可知，這里用冠詞"a"構(gòu)成固定短語(yǔ)，故填a．
25．thinking  考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞．根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，主語(yǔ)everyone與所給動(dòng)詞think是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，因此應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞，做伴隨狀語(yǔ)．故填thinking．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 解答此類(lèi)題目應(yīng)先瀏覽全文，概括大意，再根據(jù)句子間的提示以及括號(hào)內(nèi)的漢語(yǔ)提示或首字母提示，依據(jù)語(yǔ)法規(guī)則和行為邏輯來(lái)推測(cè)并填寫(xiě)合適的詞語(yǔ)．
