    小题1:C
    小题1:A
    小题1:B
    小题1:C
    小题1:B
    小题1:D
    小题1:D

    小题1:B
    小题1:C
    小题1:D
    小题1:A
    小题1:B
    小题1:A

    小题1:C根据后面的讲述，她开始独自居住在纽约市，在一家出版社找了一份工作，可知是离开大学之后。unt“直到……才”，because“因为”，Unless“除非”，都不符合句意，只有after“在……之后”符合。
    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:B 根据该句中的but表示转折及后面的句子“她的父母认为她的生活将会是艰难的”。可知more than“多于”，shorter than“比……矮(指高度)”，higher“比……高(指高度)”不符合，less than“不到；少于”，符合句意。
    小题1:C句意为“Sarah能够靠她的薪水生活”，可排除may与might，根据and连接的动词时态一致性，由后面的saved可知这里应该用could。
    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由生活常识可知，cheap living“简朴的生活”应该总是想法节省最大的花费。already已经，sometimes有时，hardly几乎不，显然不符合句意。
    小题1:D mean doing sth.表示“意味着……”。
    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 介词by此处表示“以……方式”，句意为“Sarah过着这种简朴的生活感到可怜吗？”，其他选项不可以表示这种意思。
    小题1:B 根据前半句She even managed to take two trips,可知是两个地方，在英语中表示“(两者中)一个……另一个……”为固定短语one… the other…。
    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事情。
