And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect【7】the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."

"But such a small thing couldn't【8】(possible)destroy a village."

这是一篇记叙文。主人公Nick让儿子去买盐，通过这个故事，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。

【1】考查时态。本文讲述过去的事情，故应用一般过去时，故填found。

【2】考查固定搭配。根据提示可知，本句考查固定搭配neither...nor…既不…....也不…...，故填nor。

【3】考查疑问副词。句意：爸爸，但是如果我可以少给钱，为什么不节约一点钱呢？结合句意可知，此处表儿子的反问，用“为什么不”符合语境，故填why。

【4】考查形容词。此处应填形容词作定语修饰名词thing，故填reasonable。

【5】考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处是非限制性定语从句关系词，先行词guests在从句中充当主语，应用关系代词who，故填who。

【6】考查介词。此处考查短语at a lower price以一个较低的价格，故填at。

【7】考查介词。此处考查短语respect for对…...的尊敬，故填for。

【8】考查副词。此处应填副词修饰动词destroy，故填possibly。

【9】考查冠词。此处考查短语a small amount of少量的......，又very是辅音音素开头，故填a。

【10】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应填非谓语动词，think和everyone之间是逻辑上的主动关系，应用现在分词作状语，故填thinking。
