【解析】

试题分析：英国作家理查德 · 萨维奇，曾经穷困潦倒，饿病了。医生给他看好了病他却没有诊疗费。不得已，那自己写的书送给医生2本，还开玩笑说把自己的命给了医生，因为书的名字就叫Richard Savage的生平。

1.考查动词辨析及对语境的理解。A get得到；B make使、制造；C earn挣得；D find发现。 英国作家Richard Savage曾经在伦敦生活得极度贫困。为了挣一点钱，他写了他的生平故事，earn money是固定搭配，赚钱。故选C。

2.2】考查形容词辨析及对语境的理解。A many修饰名词复数；B much修饰不可数名词；C all全部；D some一些。但是书在商店没卖出的本数不太多。后面说：Savage勉强度日。所以书卖的数量不多。故选A。

3.3】考查形容词辨析及对语境的理解。A sad伤心；B disappointed失望；C crazy疯狂；D ill生病。由于缺乏食物他病得很厉害。后面提到医生给他治病，故选D。

4.4】考查介词辨析及对语境的理解。个选项与look构成短语。A look at看；B look after照顾；C look over调查；D look around环顾四周。在医生的照料下，他的身体又恢复健康了。故选B。

5.5】考查冠词辨析及对语境的理解。A a表数量一个，B an一，用于元音因素的词前；C the 表特指；D /零冠词。在一两个星期后医生送了一张账单要看病的钱。故选A。

6.6】考查情态动词辨析及对语境的理解。A didn’t，是一般过去时的助动词；表过去的动作；B hadn’t没有，后跟名词或过去分词，这里后面是动词原形，不符合英语的习惯用法，所以排除；C couldn’t不能；D mustn’t禁止。但可怜的Savage没有钱，付不了钱。根据语境理解可知选C。

7.7】考查代词辨析及对语境的理解。A some 一些；用于肯定句中；B any任何，一些，用于否定句或疑问句中；C other其它的；D another另一个。医生又等了一个月，再次把账单寄了出去。但仍然没有钱来了。故选D。
