閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容（1個單詞）或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he 【1】 (find) that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son, “Go to the village and buy some salt, 【2】 pay a fair price for it: neither too much nor too little.”

His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, 【3】 not save a bit of money?”

“That would be a very 【4】 (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy 【5】 small village like ours,” Nick said.

Nick’s guests, 【6】 had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt 【7】 (cheap) if they could. Nick replied, “The only reason why a man would sell salt at 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 【8】 the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”

“But such a small thing couldn't 【9】 (possible) destroy a village.”

“In the beginning, there was only a very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always 【10】 (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.”

【解析】

試題分析：文章通過一個故事，向我們揭示了一個道理：世上的不公平本來沒這么明顯，正是由于眾人的一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的改變，使得這些不公愈演愈烈。

【1】found 考查動詞的過去式，根據(jù)上下文的時態(tài)不難看出，此處用一般過去時態(tài)，故填found。

【2】but 句意：去村子買鹽，但是要付一個公平的價格。此處表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故填but。

【3】why 考查連詞 why not do sth. 為什么不做某事，可以看作是固定搭配使用。

【4】reasonable 考查形容詞 其結(jié)構(gòu)形式為 a/an+形容詞+單數(shù)名詞。reasonable合情合理的，根據(jù)句意可知填reasonable。

【5】a 句意：但是它能毀掉一個像我們這樣的一個小村子。故填a。

【6】who 考查定語從句的連詞，先行詞是Nick's guests, who在從句中做主語。

【7】cheaper 根據(jù)句意可知此處用形容詞的比較級，“為什么我們不能買更便宜的鹽”。故填cheaper。

【8】for 考查介詞 show respect for sth. 對某事表示尊敬

【9】possibly 考查副詞，修飾動詞destroy ，此題多數(shù)學(xué)生知道是填副詞形式，但會錯在沒有去e變y ,而是直接加ly.故填possibly。

【10】thinking 考查非謂語動詞，動名詞表伴隨。此題的結(jié)構(gòu)為A, B, and C，其中A,C用and 連接表并列，謂語動詞形式須一致，但B多數(shù)用現(xiàn)在分詞形式表伴隨。故填thinking。
