    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.
【R1】
选项
答案F
解析 复现结构+无关词排除。本选项对应的第二段在段首就提出了两个对立性的概念，即Impulsive spending(冲动消费)和plan your week’s menu in advance (提前计划一周的菜单)。很显然作者对Impulsive spending(冲动消费)持否定态度，而此处使用了祈使句来讲述plan your week’s menu in advance。这个处于段落首句的祈使句明显就是本段落的主题。此后段落又出现了更为具体的信息，如：making shopping lists for your ingredients in their exact quantities，这里出现了lists(清单)、exact quantities(精确的数量)，还有I have an Excel template for a week of breakfast, lunch and dinner (使用表格模板列出一周的早餐、午餐和晚餐)。这些信息都明显是围绕着plan(计划)展开的，很显然本段落的主题是在强调“计划的重要性”。根据这个段落主题在7个待选项中定位匹配，很容易定位F项Planning is everything(计划至关重要)是正确答案。其他选项通过无关词排除法就能定位：A项Shopkeepers(店主)are your friends，B项Remember to treat(犒劳)yourself，C项Stick to(坚持)what you need(需要)，D项Live like a peasant(农民)，G项Waste(浪费)not，want not，上述这些标题的关键主题词在本段中并未提及。但E项Balance your diet具有一定的干扰性，因为本段落中出现了but helps you balance your diet。但这个信息出现在段落的中部，不属于段落的主题信息，而且详细分析后就会发现这个信息是在说明计划的重要性，即计划可以帮助你平衡你的食谱，这是计划带来的结果。而标题是对段落主题信息的高度概括，相比较还是F项Planning is everything作为答案更为合理。
