Do you have the ability to live cheaply? Now here’s a true story of an American girl, Sarah. After Sarah left university, 36 began to live in New York City on her own. She 37 a job in a publishing house, but the salary was less than $30，000 a year. Her parents thought her life would be hard, but Sarah could live on her _38 and still saved $5,000 in a year. How was that 39 in one of the most expensive cities in the world?
Cheap living always starts with keeping the big cost small．For most people, that means housing. So Sarah chose to 40 a flat with three other friends. Her next biggest cost was 41 . When she ate out, she went to cheap restaurants. 42 she bought a $9.99 whole chicken at a local restaurant. She then 43_ the chicken bones(骨头)home and made soup out of them. Nowadays young people often 44 a lot of money on entertainment(娱乐). But Sarah said, “I enjoy walking 45 in New York City. I love going to museums and parks.” Did Sarah feel poor by cheap living?

(答案→)B【小题1】A【小题1】A【小题1】B【小题1】D 解析：【小题1】B。she她。她开始独自居住在纽约市，在一家出版社找了一份工作。【小题1】A。根据后面的but the salary was …意为“薪水是……”可知是找到了工作。因此tried“尝试”，asked for“请求”，looked for“寻找，(强调动作)”都不符合，found为find的过去式，意为“找到(强调结果)”符合句意。 【小题1】A。但Sarah能够靠她的薪水（salary）生活。【小题1】B。根据上文可知此处句意为“在世界上消费最贵的城市之一，那怎么可能？”所以，difficult“困难的”，useful“有用的”，different“不同的”不符合句意，possible“可能的”符合。【小题1】D。share sth with sb和某人分享某物。因此Sarah选择和其他3个朋友共住一间公寓。【小题1】A。根据后面讲述的关于她吃饭方面的事情，可以推测出这里是说“她接下来最大的花费是食物”。【小题1】C。后面是描述Sarah某次吃饭的经历，所以用once“一次”，其他选项soon“不久”，finally“最后”，again“又；再”不符合。【小题1】B。根据句意判断，此处是说“她把骨头带回家，用他们做汤”。其他动词无此意。【小题1】C。spend some money on sth.意为“在某事上花费金钱”。【小题1】D。考查词组walk around意为“四处走走；四处转转”。【小题1】A。even甚至。她甚至两次成功的旅游。【小题1】A。根据短文最后一句It’s a kind of game,“这是一种游戏”，可知Sarah认为节约花钱不是一件困难的（hard）事情。
