    The hugely popular blog the Skint Foodie chronicles how Tony balances his love of good food with living on benefits. After bills, Tony has £60 a week to spend, £40 of which goes on food, but 10 years ago he was earning £130,000 a year working in corporate communications and eating at London’s best restaurants at least twice a week. Then his marriage failed, his career burned out and his drinking became serious. "The community mental health team saved my life. And I felt like that again, to a certain degree, when people responded to the blog so well. It gave me the validation and confidence that I’d lost. But it’s still a day-by-day thing." Now he’s living in a council flat and fielding offers from literary agents. He’s feeling positive, but he’ll carry on blogging—not about eating as cheaply as you can—"there are so many people in a much worse state, with barely any money to spend on food"—but eating well on a budget. Here’s his advice for economical foodies.
    【R1】________
    Impulsive spending isn’t an option, so plan your week’s menu in advance, making shopping lists for your ingredients in their exact quantities. I have an Excel template for a week of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stop laughing: it’s not just cost effective but helps you balance your diet. It’s also a good idea to shop daily instead of weekly, because, being human, you’ll sometimes change your mind about what you fancy.
    【R2】________
    This is where supermarkets and their anonymity come in handy. With them, there’s not the same embarrassment as when buying one carrot in a little greengrocer. And if you plan properly, you’ll know that you only need, say, 350g of shin of beef and six rashers of bacon, not whatever weight is pre-packed in the supermarket chiller.
    【R3】________
    You may proudly claim to only have frozen peas in the freezer—that’s not good enough. Mine is filled with leftovers, bread, stock, meat and fish. Planning ahead should eliminate wastage, but if you have surplus vegetables you’ll do a vegetable soup, and all fruits threatening to "go off" will be cooked or juiced.
    【R4】________
    Everyone says this, but it really is a top tip for frugal eaters. Shop at butchers, delis and fish-sellers regularly, even for small things, and be super friendly. Soon you’ll feel comfortable asking if they’ve any knuckles of ham for soups and stews, or beef bones, chicken carcasses and fish heads for stock which, more often than not, they’ll let you have for free.
    【R5】________
    You won’t be eating out a lot, but save your pennies and once every few months treat yourself to a set lunch at a good restaurant—£1.75 a week for three months gives you £21—more than enough for a three-course lunch at Michelin-starred Arbutus. It’s £16.95 there—or £12.99 for a large pizza from Domino’s: I know which I’d rather eat.
【R2】
选项
答案C
解析 复现结构+无关词排除。本选项对应的第三段的主题信息需要考生做些分析和定位，但由于段落信息本身很短，难度并不高。段落开始出现了很具体的supermarkets(超市)、little greengrocer(小杂货店)等信息，这是明显的引述，是为了此后引出段落的主题观点，即：And if you plan properly, you’II know that you only need(只要计划得当，你就会清楚自己的精确需要)。而且本段是唯一出现较多数量词汇的段落：one carrot(一个胡萝卜)、350g of shin of beef(350克牛前腿肉)、six rashers of bacon(六片熏肉)。这些恰恰说明本段是围绕着购物的数量精确性展开的。如果选择一个标题句来概述本段落内容的话，最合适的莫过于C项Stick to what you need，因为这个标题的两个主题词汇：Stick to(坚持)、need(需要)明显是本段落的主旨信息的复现和概括。
