Question

【题目】John lives ________. He has a very small budget and little money to spend on clothes.

A. in the black B. on a shoestring

C. over the moon D. at the drop of a hat

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】考查习语辨析。句意：约翰过着衣单食薄的生活，他的预算非常少，几乎没钱买衣服。A. in the black盈利，有盈余；B. on a shoestring资金微薄；C. over the moon欣喜若狂；D. at the drop of a hat马上，随时。根据题干a very small budget得知，此题是想表达“资金紧张”。故选B项。
