30、 much, Father, but if I can pay less, _3.why_ not save a bit of money？”“That would be a very _4.reasonable_ (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours，” Louis said.Louiss guests, _5.who_ had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy sale more che

31、aply if they could. Louis replied, “The only reason why a man would sell salt _6.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 for the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce _7.it_

32、 .”“But such a small thing couldnt _8.possibly_ (possible) destroy a village.”“In the beginning, there was only _9.a_ very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always _10.thinking_ (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up

33、 today.”文章大意：本文通过Louis叫儿子去买盐要给合理价格的故事说明，一定要公平对待他人，尊重努力工作的人的汗水和努力。解析1.考查时态语态。在主格人称代词he后应为谓语动词，“invited”用一般过去时。由语境suddenly可知，用一般过去时。2考查固定搭配。表示“既不也不”，构成并列连词，故用“neither.nor.”。3考查句意理解。因why not do sth (何不做某事) ？是固定句式。4考查词性转化。在名词前作定语要用形容词。“thing”需一个形容词修饰，very也只能修饰形容词，故用reasonable。5考查定语从句。关系代词在从句中作主语，指代前面先行词

34、“guests”。 指人，故用who。6考查固定介词短语。与price搭配，表示“以更低价格”用 at a lower price，故用at。7考查代词。it 指代salt.8考查词性转化。提示词修饰动词“destroy”，用副词，故用possibly。9考查冠词。amount为单数可数名词，第一次出现，表示一个很小的数量。a small amount of“少量的”是固定搭配。10考查非谓语动词作伴随状语。因everyone与think是主动关系，故用现在分词短语作added的伴随状语。.短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处错误，每句中
