题目内容
19.One day,Nick invited his friends to supper.He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen.Suddenly,he(61)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(62)nortoo little."His son looked surprised."I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much,Father,but if I can pay less,(63)whynot 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 ours,"Nick said.
Nick's guests,(65)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(66)ata lower price would be because he was desperate(拼命的) for money.And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect for the sweat(汗水) and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."
"But such a small thing couldn't(67)possibly(possible)destroy a village."
"(68)Inthe 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.found 考查动词时态.全文讲述的是已发生的事情,用一般过去时.
62.nor 考查固定搭配.neither…nor…表示"既不…也不…".其含义是否定的,可连接任意两个并列的成份.
63.why 考查连词.why not后面接动词原形,构成Why not do sth.?意为"为何不…呢?",用来提出建议.
64.reasonable 考查形容词.thing是名词,其前用形容词作定语.
65.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Nick"s guests,在从句中做主语,用关系代词who.
66.at 考查介词.at a lower price意为"以较低的价格",是固定搭配.
67.possibly 考查副词.destroy是动词,修饰动词用副词.
68.In 考查介词.in the beginning意为"起初,首先",是固定搭配.
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之间是主谓关系,用现在分词短语作伴随状语.
