One day, Nick invited his friends to supper.He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he (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 too little.”
His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much.Father,but if I can pay less, not save a bit of money?”
“That would be a very (reason) thing to do in a big city,but it could destroy a small village like ours,”Nick said.
Nick's guests, 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 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 me sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."
"But such a small thing couldn't (possible) destroy a village."
“In the beginning, there was only very small amount of unfairness in the world,but everyone added a little, always (think) that it was only small and not very important,and look where we have ended up today.”
【答案】found;nor;why;reasonable;who;at;for;possibly;a;thinking
【解析】本文属于夹叙夹议类短文,原本这个世界上并没有太多的不公平,但是每个人都认为自己带来的一点不公不会有太大影响,所以现在的世界上就有很多的不公了。
(1)found 考查时态。根据第一句One day, Nick invited his friends to supper.说明本文介绍的是过去发生的事情,所以全文使用一般过去时。本句也应该使用found。
(2)nor 考查固定搭配。短语neither...nor...既不...也不....;该结构表示全部否定。Nick告诉儿子去买盐,价格不要太贵也不要太便宜。
(3)why 考查固定句式。固定句式why not....?为什么不....?该句型表示咨询。儿子问:为什么不能省点钱?
(4)reasonable 考查形容词。横线后面有名词thing说明应该使用形容词做定语修饰该名词,名词reason的形容词修饰是reasonable合理的。
(5)who 考查定语从句。本题中先行词是Nick's guest,关系代词who指代先行词在句中作主语,引导非限制性定语从句。
(6)at 考查介词短语。短语at the price of...以...价格;低价卖盐的人可能是因为他迫切需要钱。
(7)for 考查固定搭配。短语show respect for....表示对....的尊敬;任何一个利用这情景的人是对生产盐的人的不尊重。
(8)possibly 考查副词。在英语中通常使用副词possibly做状语修饰形容词、副词或位于动词。所以本句中使用副词possibly修饰谓语部分destroy a village。
(9)a 考查固定搭配。短语a small amount of很少...;开始的时候,在这个世界上只有一点点的不公平。但是后来每个人都加上一点点,这个世界上的不公平就多了很多。
(10)thinking 考查分词做状语。本句中动词think与本句主语everyone构成主动关系,所以使用现在分词在句中作状语。每个人都加上一点点,认为这只是一点点,并不重要。
