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。

Doctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best-loved and most successful children’s book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.

In 1954, life magazine published(刊登) a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children’s books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.

In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham.
In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize (普利策奖). He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents.
He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. Millions of his books have been sold worldwide. People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a town. There was another building across form mine, and it was only a few meters away. There lived a woman whom I had never met. I could see her sit by the window each afternoon, drinking or reading.
Several months later, I noticed her window was very dirty. Everything was not clear through the window. I wondered why the woman didn’t wash her window.
One sunny morning, I decided to clean up my apartment, including washing my windows. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down for a rest by the window. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen! Her window was clean! Suddenly, I realized I had made a mistake. I was watching her through my dirty window all the time!

Noise
Residents are asked to keep noise to a minimum. Loud music, etc. can disturb other people and the Association will get in touch with you if you make too much noise.
Safety
