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 has 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.” |

解析
试题分析: 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。 |

Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completed a university degree or diploma course could find a good job quite easily. Companies toured the universities, competing with each other to persuade graduates to join them. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.
Most jobs organizations have provided three stages for graduates to follow in the process of finding a suitable job: recognizing abilities, matching these to available chances and presenting them well to future employers.
Job seekers have to make a careful judgment of their abilities. One area of judgment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, confidence, leadership and caring for others. An honest judgment of personal interests and abilities such as creative or scientific skills, or skills developed from work experience, should also be given careful thought.
The second stage is to study the chances available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. To do this, graduates can study available job chances and information in newspapers or they can visit a job office, write to possible employers for information or get in touch with friends or relatives who may already be holding a particular profession. After studying all the various choices, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various jobs.
A good personal presentation is necessary in the search for a good job. Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling mistakes. Where additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in detail, with examples if possible. They should try to balance their own abilities with the employer’s needs, explain why they are interested in a job with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities.
When graduates are asked to attend an interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the would-be employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.
There will always be good job chances for people with ability, skills and determination. The secret to achieving a good job is to be one of them.
