Answer 1

分析 文章讲述了一个发人深省的问题：人们都喜欢以更低的价格买东西，但在Tom看来，喜欢占便宜的人缺少对别人劳动的尊重．如果每个人都这样，我们的世界就会变得不和谐．

解答 答案：41．found；考查时态．文章讲述的是过去的事情，要用一般过去时态．
42．nor；考查短语搭配．neither…nor…既不…也不…，常用短语．
43．why；考查句型结构．why not do sth为什么不做某事呢，建议表达法． 
44．reasonable；考查形容词．句中reason修饰名词thing，要用形容词形式．
45．who；考查连词．句中had heard their conversation修饰guests，是一个非限制性定语从句；从句缺少主语，且先行词guests指人，要用who来引导．
46．at；考查介词短语．at a lower price以更低的价格． 
47．for；考查介词搭配．respect for对…表示尊重． 
48．possibly；考查副词．句中possible修饰谓语动词destroy，要用副词形式．
49．a；考查冠词．a very small amount of很少的． 
50．thinking；考查分词．句中有逗号分隔，没有连词，要用非谓语动词；think与主语everyone之间构成主谓关系，要用选择分词作原因状语．

点评 语法填空题是考查学生的语言运用能力．解题时，要在理解文章的基础上，灵活运用语法知识，如词性，时态，名词单复数，连接词，代词，冠词等判断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．
