解析【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。

阅读短文，根据意思，从各题所给的A、B和C三个选项中选出最佳答案。
One midnight（午夜）, a little girl woke up （醒来）to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared（害怕）.
Her mother said, “Don’t be afraid, honey. Take courage（勇敢些）!”
“What’s courage（勇气）?” she asked, running to her mother’s bed.
“Courage is the brave（勇敢的） breath（呼吸）,” her mother answered.
“Mum, do you have courage?”
“Certainly.”
The girl held out（伸出） her little hands, saying, “Mum, blow（吹） some of your breath of courage to me.”
After her mother blew out two mouthfuls（口） of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) nervously（紧张地）, afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away（跑掉）. Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.
Her mother said to herself, “It will be nice if someone can blow some kinds of ‘breath’ to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost.”
