5.One day,Nick invited his friends to supper.He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen.Suddenly,he found that he(61)had run(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(62)nor too little."
His son looked surprised."I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much,Father,but if I can pay less,(63)why not save a bit of money?"
"That would be a very(64)reasonable( reason ) thing to do in a big city,but it could destroy a small village like(65)ours"Nick said.
Nick's guests,(66)whohad 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(67)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 for the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."
"But such a small thing couldn't(68)possibly( possible ) destroy a village."
"In the beginning,there was only(69)avery small amount of unfairness in the world,but everyone added a little,always (70)thinking( think ) that it was only small and not very important,and look where we have ended up today."

分析 本文通过讲述尼克打电话叫他儿子去买些盐,并交代他儿子要以合理公平的价格买,不能破坏市场平衡的故事,告诉我们要懂得尊重他人和生活中的公平.

解答 61.had run 考查动词时态.run发生在find之间,find用一般过去时态,run则要用过去完成时态.
62.nor  考查连词搭配.neither …nor…意为"既不…也不…",是固定搭配.  
63.why  考查连词.why not do sth.意为"为什么不做某事",是固定搭配.  
64.reasonable 考查形容词.其结构形式为 a/an+形容词+单数名词.   
65.ours 考查代词.like是介词,后用名词性物主代词作宾语.
66.who 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词  是Nick's guests,who在从句中做主语.
67.at  考查介词.at a price意为"以什么的价格",是固定搭配.       
68.possibly 考查副词.修饰动词destroy用副词,形容词possible的副词是possibly.
69.a 考查冠词.a small amount of意为"少量的",是固定搭配.            
70.thinking 考查现在分词.everyone与think是主动关系,用现在分词短语作added的伴随状语.

点评 在一篇200词左右的语篇(短文或对话)中留出10处空白,部分空白的后面给出单词的基本形式,要求考生根据上下文填写空白处所需的内容或所提供单词的正确形式,所填写词语不得多于3个单词.要做好语法填空题,理解短文是解题的前提,扎实的词汇、句型和语法知识是基础,英语国家的背景知识是必要的补充.考生须灵活运用语法知识,如单词词性、单词时态、名词单复数、连接词、代词、冠词等判断各空白处应填写的内容.答完后,还要通读全文,核对所填单词形式是否正确,是否符合语境.

13.I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job.I also think my work is important.There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork.In my final term I started thinking about what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer.I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job,looking after two little girls.It wasn't too bad at first.But the problems began when I agreed to live in,so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening.We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week,she'd give me time off the next.But unfortunately,it didn't often work out.I was getting extremely tired and fed up,because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday,I was in the park with the children,and met Megan who used to go to school with me.I told her about my situation.She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书) if I wanted to work with children.I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school.She persuaded me to phone the local college.My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course.I had to leave my job with the family,and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I've got a full-time job there.I shall always be thankful to Megan.I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career,even if you aren't top of the class at school.

20.Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money.Strange as it may seem,if you're unsatisfied,the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires-not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力)  to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things.They eat,wear,go and talk too much.They live in too big a house with too many rooms,yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅),a royal palace.Every new taste,every additional interest,every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things.If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them,they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.
Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person,for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent.Real riches are of the spirit.And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk,you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports,without which you remain poor,mean a lot in life.No matter who you are,you would be more human,and your house of life would be better supported against the hard days,if you could,and did,play a bit.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life,the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.
