The word "subsistence" in paragraph 3 probably means______.
A.having enough food to stay alive
B.having enough money to stay alive
C.having enough time to enjoy dinner
D.having enough room to live at
参考答案
正确答案:A
解析:语义理解题。本句前一句指出法国室友在别人请客时的用餐诀窍:不拒绝别人给他买杯酒,这意味着他能够在免费餐台随意大吃,站在那儿吃或者拿到其他地方吃。之后本句指出Thousands of unfortunate men get their sole subsistence in this way in New York,从该句中的Thousands of unfortunate men可知这里指的是像Blake和他室友这样的倒霉蛋们,从前一段他们没钱吃饭可以推断,subsistence这里是指能够大吃大喝得以生存之意,故A ,为答案。前一句提到的是food,与money无关,排除B 。这里也没有提及时间和空间,选项C 和D 无根据。
