Question

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
Kate Hashimoto was picking up a few groceries at the Upper West Side Food Emporium when she ran into a friend. “Hey Kate, do you like wraps? Here's a chicken wrap," her pal said. “But be careful, it's kind of wet.” They weren't in the food store. They were in front of the store, digging through three overflowing trash bins.
Hashimoto Dumpster-dives(拾荒) for all her food, doesn't use toilet paper or do laundry, and hasn't bought makeups in 10 years. She doesn't have to live this way — she's an employed CPA(注冊會計(jì)師). “I've always been money-saving, but it was when I was fired that I became extreme,” Hashimoto explained. “No job is guaranteed, so I live as if I could be fired at any time.”
Manhattan, she said, is a gold mine for dumpster divers. “Consumers in wealthy areas expect their products to be perfect, so upscale stores throw out a lot of items that are still good. “New York can be the most expensive place to live, but it can also be the least expensive if you know how to work the system.”
Hashimoto let the reporter of a newspaper spend a day with her learning how to work the system. She lives in Harlem, where she bought a studio in 2010 and paid it off in nine months, but walks down to the Upper West Side three times a week for good, free food. Her other money-saving methods include using soap to wash herself after using the toilet, taking surveys online to earn gift cards, participating in medical trials, testing products for free samples, cutting her own hair, washing her clothes while she showers, and running to work to avoid using subway. “I was very angry about the latest round of subway fare rises,” she said.
Hashimoto does have her limits. Her furniture is a collection of found free gifts— but she won't take an old mattress for fear of bedbugs, and sleeps instead on used yoga mats. And she won't stay in a relationship with a boyfriend for free meals. “I've been in a relationship where I stayed because I was getting free gifts, but I got out of it,” she says. “It's better to be single and dumpster-diving than to be with someone you can't stand.”

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）C
（2）B
（3）D
【解析】 本文講述的是摳門的女白領(lǐng)，如廁不用紙，食物家具全靠撿垃圾。
（1）C 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段提到Hey Kate, do you like wraps? Here's a chicken wrap," her pal said. “But be careful, it's kind of wet.” They weren't in the food store. They were in front of the store, digging through three overflowing trash bins. “嘿凱特，你喜歡肉卷嗎？這有個雞肉卷，” 她朋友說道�！暗�是小心，還有點(diǎn)濕�！� 她們的對話并不是在什么雜貨店的走廊里。她們站在商店前，在三個漫出來的垃圾箱翻找著，可知她們有著同樣的生活方式，故選C項(xiàng)。
（2）B 考查詞意猜測。根據(jù)第三段提到Manhattan, she said, is a gold mine for dumpster divers. “Consumers in wealthy areas expect their products to be perfect, so upscale stores throw out a lot of items that are still good. 曼哈頓是一座金礦，她說，生活在富裕地區(qū)的人們，往往希望他們的一切生活用品保持完美，所以那些高檔的商店會把很多還很新的產(chǎn)品扔掉，故選B項(xiàng)。
（3）D 考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段提到Hashimoto let the reporter of a newspaper spend a day with her learning how to work the system橋本邀請記者用一天的時間和她學(xué)學(xué)如何像她一樣生活，可知選D項(xiàng)。
