“ 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.

【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。
