题目内容
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,Father,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."
分析 本文是一篇记叙文.本文关于Nick叫儿子去买盐要给合理价格的故事.通过这个故事作者说明了一个道理:世上的不公平本来没这么明显,正是由于众人的一点点的改变,使得这些不公平愈演愈烈.我们一定要公平对待他人,尊重努力工作的人的汗水和努力.
解答 16.found 考查动词的过去式.根据上下文的时态可知,用一般过去时.故填found.
17.nor 考查连词搭配. 根据句意及句中"neither"可知,这里是"neither …nor",固定结构,表示既不…也不….故填nor.
18.why 考查连词. why not do sth."为什么不做某事"固定句型.故填why.
19.reasonable 考查形容词. 根据名词前作定语要用形容词可知,这里结构形式为:a/an+形容词+单数名词.故填reasonable.
20.who 考查定语从句的连词.先行词是Nick's guests(指人),定语从句中缺少主语.故填who.
21.at 考查介词.根据习惯搭配at a price"以什么的价格"可知,介词at符合语境,故填at.
22.for 考查介词.根据固定短语 show respect for sth可知,介词for符合语境,故填for.
23.possibly 考查副词.根据修饰谓语动词要用副词可知,这里用副词修饰动词destroy,做状语.特别要注意possible的副词形式(去e变y).
24.a 考查冠词.根据搭配"a small amount of sth,少量的."可知,这里用冠词"a"构成固定短语,故填a.
25.thinking 考查非谓语动词.根据句子结构可知,主语everyone与所给动词think是主动关系,因此应该用现在分词,做伴随状语.故填thinking.
