His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, ____小题3:__not save a bit of money?”

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

Nick’s guests, ____小题5:__had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could.

题目分析: 一天,尼克在家里请朋友吃饭,但是发现家里没有盐了,于是他就让儿子去买盐,而且告诉儿子买盐不要太贵也不要太便宜,否则会毁了一个村庄。客人和儿子都不理解:为什么不能买便宜的盐呢?于是,尼克对此说出了自己的道理

小题1:found。整篇文章是叙述过去的事情,应该用过去时态,此空填found。

小题2:nor。固定短语:neither….nor“既不……也不”,所以填nor。

小题3:why。根据语境可知此处表示说话人的建议,根据结构可知此处是“why not+ v原形”表示提议,填why。

小题4:reasonable。此处修饰名词thing,所以应该用形容词reasonable。

小题5:who 。从结构可知此处是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,指代先行词guests,用who。

小题6:at。固定搭配:“at a low /high price”意思是“以低价或高价”,填介词at。

小题7:for。固定短语:show respect for sb “对某人表示尊重”,填介词for。

小题8:possibly。此处修饰动词应该用副词形式,can’t possibly “不可能”,填possibly。

小题9:a。固定短语:a small amount of意思是“少量的”,填不定冠词a。

小题10:thinking。根据结构可知此处是非谓语短语做状语,动词think和主语everyone之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词thinking。
