解析:
1. 根据全文“理性消费”的主题,以及文末“she spent her money wisely”的提示,这里指父母教导她要明智地花钱,选A。
2. 后文提到她看到了漂亮的连衣裙,说明她去的是服装店,选D。
3. 四个表“花费”的词用法区分:pay和spend的主语必须是人;cost主语是物品,意为“(某物)花费(多少钱)”;take一般用于it takes sb+时间+to do的固定结构,本句主语是dress(物品),选C。
4. 此处Lucy在自我反思:我真的需要这条连衣裙吗?really表示“真正地”,符合语境,选C。
5. 前文提到这双鞋正在打折,售价仅15美元,说明价格很便宜,选D。
6. 前文朋友Lily劝Lucy买鞋,这里是Lucy对朋友的话作出回应,answered表示“回答、回应”,符合语境,选B。
7. 后文提到Lucy去了书店,说明她是离开鞋店之后才前往书店的,leaving表示“离开”,选A。
8. 这句话的含义是“总要问问你自己——你真正想要的是什么”,what在从句中作want的宾语,选D。
9. 前半句“Lucy仔细读了这本书”,后半句“她没有付钱买下它”,前后是转折关系,用but,选A。
10. 她把50美元全部存进储蓄罐,做到了理性消费,还得到了父母的表扬,所以她感到很开心,选B。
