One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen .Suddenly, he 16 (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 too little.”

His son looked surprised.” I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, 18 not save a bit of money?”

“That would be a very19(reason)thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like outs,” Nick said.

Nick’s guests, 20 had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy sale more cheaply if they could. Nick replied,” The only reason a man would sell sale 21 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 the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”

“But such a small thing couldn’t 23 (possible) destroy a village.”

“In the beginning, there was only 24  very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little ,always 25 (think) that it was only small and not very important ,and look where we have ended up today.”

Answer 1

【語篇解讀】

本文是一篇記敘文。Nick在家宴請朋友們時，突然發(fā)現(xiàn)鹽沒了，于是讓兒子買鹽，并吩咐他不要買貴的，也不要買太便宜了。這些話引起Nick朋友的不解，從而展開一段談話，道出了利用別人的困境占便宜的人是對別人的勞動不尊重的道理。

【答案解析】

16.  found�？疾橹^語動詞的時態(tài)。根據(jù)句意：他突然發(fā)現(xiàn)他沒有鹽了。此處缺謂語，再根據(jù)本文為講述一個故事，故這里謂語動詞應(yīng)用一般過去時。

17．nor�？疾檫B詞在句型中的搭配：neither…nor…。此分句的句意：要給一個合理的價錢：不要給錢太多，也不要給錢太少。

18．why�？疾橐蓡柛痹~的用法，此處句意為：但是爸爸，如果我能夠花更少的錢，為什么不能省一些錢呢？本句中，if引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句，why引導(dǎo)主句，這里為“why not + V原”的句式結(jié)構(gòu)，表示建議。

19． reasonable�？疾樵~性轉(zhuǎn)化。這里為名詞轉(zhuǎn)化為形容詞。這里前一個分句的句義為：在大城市里，這樣做可能是非常合理的……。根據(jù)空格后面是名詞，所以這里缺形容詞。

20．who�？疾橄噙B接代詞詞的用法，分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本句為非限制性定語從句，why為定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞，表人。句意為：Nick的朋友們碰巧聽到了他們的的談話，他們問為什么父子倆能買到更便宜的鹽，卻不那么做呢。

21．a(chǎn)t�？疾榻樵~的用法。這是固定配搭，at a price/ speed“以一個（……樣的）價格/速度”。這里，sell/ buy sth. at a (low/ high…) price“以一個（高/低的）價錢出售/買到某物”。本句句義：一個愿意用較低價錢出售鹽的人的唯一原因是因為他非常需要錢。

22．for�？疾榻樵~的用法，根據(jù)短語show respect for 可知答案。本句句義：（利用這種情況）利用別人的困難的人將是對那個辛勤勞作生產(chǎn)鹽的人的汗水和勞動的不尊重。

23．possibly。考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)化。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，這里要修飾的是動詞destroy，所以這里為形容詞轉(zhuǎn)化為副詞。本句句義為：“但是這樣的一個行為雖然小卻有可能毀掉一個小村莊（的和諧）�！�

24．a(chǎn)。短語層次�？紤]不定冠詞的泛指用法。a (small/ big) amount of…表示“一點量/很大量的……”，其中amount為可數(shù)名詞，不定冠詞在這里為泛指用法。

25．thinking�？疾榉侵^語動詞的用法，根據(jù)句意：但是每一個人都要加一點點，總是想著只是多得了一點點，不重要的話，（看一看今天我們的社會成了什么樣子）。可知這里要用現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語。
