Question

His son looked surprised.“I can understand why I 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 guests,【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 that he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect【7】me 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."

【解析】試題分析：本文屬于夾敘夾議類短文，原本這個(gè)世界上并沒有太多的不公平，但是每個(gè)人都認(rèn)為自己帶來的一點(diǎn)不公不會(huì)有太大影響，所以現(xiàn)在的世界上就有很多的不公了。

【1】found 考查時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)第一句One day, Nick invited his friends to supper.說明本文介紹的是過去發(fā)生的事情，所以全文使用一般過去時(shí)。本句也應(yīng)該使用found。

【2】nor 考查固定搭配。短語neither...nor...既不...也不....；該結(jié)構(gòu)表示全部否定。Nick告訴兒子去買鹽，價(jià)格不要太貴也不要太便宜。

【3】why 考查固定句式。固定句式why not....？為什么不....?該句型表示咨詢。兒子問：為什么不能省點(diǎn)錢？

【4】reasonable 考查形容詞。橫線后面有名詞thing說明應(yīng)該使用形容詞做定語修飾該名詞，名詞reason的形容詞修飾是reasonable合理的。

【5】who 考查定語從句。本題中先行詞是Nick's guest，關(guān)系代詞who指代先行詞在句中作主語，引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句。

【6】at 考查介詞短語。短語at the price of...以...價(jià)格；低價(jià)賣鹽的人可能是因?yàn)樗�迫切需要錢。

【7】for 考查固定搭配。短語show respect for....表示對(duì)....的尊敬；任何一個(gè)利用這情景的人是對(duì)生產(chǎn)鹽的人的不尊重。

【8】possibly 考查副詞。在英語中通常使用副詞possibly做狀語修飾形容詞、副詞或位于動(dòng)詞。所以本句中使用副詞possibly修飾謂語部分destroy a village。

【9】a 考查固定搭配。短語a small amount of很少...；開始的時(shí)候，在這個(gè)世界上只有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的不公平。但是后來每個(gè)人都加上一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)，這個(gè)世界上的不公平就多了很多。

【10】thinking 考查分詞做狀語。本句中動(dòng)詞think與本句主語everyone構(gòu)成主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以使用現(xiàn)在分詞在句中作狀語。每個(gè)人都加上一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)，認(rèn)為這只是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)，并不重要。
