“That would be a very4(reason) thing to do in a big city,but it could destroy a small village like ours,”Nick said.

Nick's guests,5had heard their conversation,asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied,"The only reason a man would sell salt6a lower price would be that he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect7me sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."

"But such a small thing couldn't8(possible) destroy a village."

【解析】试题分析: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。

1found 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

2nor 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。

3why 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?

4reasonable 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。

5who 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。

6at 考查介词短语。短语at the price of......价格;低价卖盐的人可能是因为他迫切需要钱。

7for 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。

8possibly 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

9a 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。

10thinking 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。

【题目】If you think that Internet shopping on a Sunday gets you the best deals, then think again. Tuesday is actually the best day of the week if you want to grab a bargain according to an exhaustive analysis of on-line shopping. Thursday is the second best day followed by Friday—but Sunday is when you are least likely to make a saving.

The study also looked at months and found that the pre-Christmas rush in November is when there are most bargains around on the web—and not the January sales. US retailer(零售商) reporting service Sum All examined 3,000 companies and halt a billion transactions(交易) as part of its report. It worked out the average discount(折扣) offered to consumers on each day of the week and over different times of the year.

The best day of the week was Tuesday where savings were 4.81 percent, followed by Thursday on 4.80 percent. In third place was Friday at 4.615 percent, then Wednesday at 4.13 percent and Monday at 4.11 percent. Only the foolish would shop on a Saturday where the discounts were typically 3.84 percent—and Sunday was the worst with 3.37 percent.

The analysis by month is even more surprising as most people think that waiting until the post-Christmas sales would yield the biggest discounts. In fact, November is when you will get the largest savings at 5.99 percent on average. January came in second at 4.95 percent, followed by May at 4.50 percent.

The worst month to buy online was March where you could expect to save just 2.76 percent. Consumers and experts have been speculating for years about the best time to shop online.

Booking a flight has almost become a science with some claiming that buying six weeks before you travel guarantees you the best price. However, a recent analysis by the US Airlines Reporting Commission found that was not actually the case.

Not only did the six-week window fail to pile up, in some cases the best fares were on sale as long as 24 weeks before departure. The ARC said that booking well in advance is best advised for busy routes or long haul flights(长途航班), as the price only tends to go up.

1If a buyer wants to buy cheap goods online, he'd better go to the shop on ________.

A. Tuesday B. Thursday C. Friday D. Sunday

2Most web sellers often provide bargain on the web ________.

A. after New Year's Day B. during Valentine's Day

C. on Mother's Day D. before Christmas

3Which of the following statements is True according to the third paragraph?

D. Customers can get the best savings on Saturday.

4What is the meaning of the underlined word “speculating” in the fifth paragraph?
