【題目】閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當?shù)膬?nèi)容（1個單詞）或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he 【1】 (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 【2】 too little.”

His son looked surprised. “I can understand why shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, 【3】 not save a bit of money?”

“That would be a very 【4】 (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours,” Nick said.

Nick’s guest, 【5】 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 【6】 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 【7】 the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”

“But such a small thing couldn’t 【8】 (possible) destroy a village.”

“In the beginning, there was only 【9】 very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always 【10】 (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.”

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】found

【2】nor

【3】why

【4】reasonable

【5】who

【6】at

【7】for

【8】possibly

【9】a

【10】thinking

【解析】

【1】found 考查時態(tài)。句意：忽然，他發(fā)現(xiàn)鹽用完了。全文主體時態(tài)為過去時，此處也用過去時。

【2】nor 考查固定句型。neither ...nor...既不…也不…。這里表示“既不多也不少”。

【3】why 考查連詞。why not do sth. 為什么不做某事？句意：如果能少付點，為什么不省點錢呢？

【4】reasonable 考查形容詞。reasonable合理的。

【5】who 考查定語從句的連詞。先行詞是Nick's guests，who在從句中作主語。

【6】at 考查介詞。at a price 以……的價格。此題易錯，主要是對這個搭配不熟悉。

【7】for 考查介詞。show respect for sth.對某物表示尊敬。

【8】possibly 考查副詞。修飾動詞destroy，此題多數(shù)學生知道是填副詞形式，但會錯在沒有去e變y,而是直接加ly。

【9】a 考查冠詞。考查固定搭配。a small amount of sth.少量的。

【10】thinking 考查非謂語動詞.動名詞表伴隨。此題的結(jié)構(gòu)為A, B, and C，其中A,C用and 連接表并列，謂語動詞形式須一致，但B多數(shù)用現(xiàn)在分詞形式表伴隨。
