广东2013高考英语卷定语从句考查——语法填空

One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was coking 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 ours,” Nick said. Nick’s guests, 20 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 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

第16题：found。考察时态语态。“invited”用一般过去时。由Suddenly可知，found与其时间一致，故用found；

第17题：nor。考察固定搭配，表示“既不…也不…”，故用“neither……nor……”。

第18题：why。考察句意理解。该句“？”告知句子有疑问，前文中出现why提示表示“为什么”之意，故用why。

第19题：reasonable。考察词性转化。“thing”需一个形容词修饰，very也只能修饰形容词，故用reasonable。

第20题：who。考察定语从句关系代词。从句不完整，指代前面“guests”。指人，故用who。

第21题：at。考察固定介词短语与price搭配，表示“以更低价格”用 at a lower price，故用at。

第22题：for。考察介词短语搭配。表示“对某事表示尊重”，用show
respect for sth.。故用for。

第23题：possibly。考察词性转化。提示词修饰动词“destroy”，用副词，故用possibly。

第24题：a。考察冠词。amount为单数可数名词，第一次出现，表示一个很小的数量。故用a

第25题：thinking。考察非谓语做伴随状语。居中有added做谓语，与此同时做着什么事情，故用thinking。
