One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen.Suddenly, he 【小题1】 (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 【小题2】 too little.”
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. Nick replied，“The only reason a man would sell salt 【小题6】 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 【小题7】 the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”
“But such a small thing couldn't 【小题8】 (possible) destroy a village.”
“In the beginning, there was only 【小题9】 very small amount of unfairness in the world，but everyone added a little，always 【小题10】 (think) that it was only small and not very important，and look where we have ended up today.”found

(答案→)found 解析：文章通过一个故事，向我们揭示了一个道理：世上的不公平本来没这么明显，正是由于众人的一点点的改变，使得这些不公愈演愈烈。【小题1】考查动词的过去式，根据上下文的时态不难得出答案。【小题2】考查连词搭配 neither …nor 表示既不…也不…【小题3】考查连词 why not do sth. 为什么不做某事，可以看作是固定搭配使用。【小题4】考查形容词 其结构形式为 a/an+形容词+单数名词。【小题5】考查定语从句的连词，先行词是Nick's guests, who在从句中做主语。【小题6】考查介词，固定搭配 at a price 以什么的价格。此题易错，主要是对这个搭配不熟悉。【小题7】考查介词 show respect for sth.【小题8】考查副词，修饰动词destroy ，此题多数学生知道是填副词形式，但会错在没有去e变y ,而是直接加ly.【小题9】考查冠词，搭配 a small amount of sth. 少量的。【小题10】考查非谓语动词，动名词表伴随。此题的结构为A, B, and C，其中A,C用and 连接表并列，谓语动词形式须一致，但B多数用现在分词形式表伴随。
