【解析】

试题分析：

戴维讨厌花钱。当他在一家商店买东西，他总是尽力压低价格，即使是最便宜的东西也是一样。有时店主同意降低价格一点。这样，戴维这里省几分，那里省几美分，到年底他攒几百美元。有一天，他牙痛去看牙医。牙医说这颗牙齿要拔掉。需要四十美元。戴维说两分钟挣四十美元简直是抢劫。牙医微笑说花半个小时怎么样？

1.David在商店里买东西都要讲价，故选something。

2.讲价已成了David的习惯，即使最便宜的也要讲，故选cheapest。

3.让它成为1.9yuan吧，考查动词make的用法，此处表示让的意思。

4.有时候商家会将它们的价格下调一点点，故选prices。

5.一年下来，David就能节省几百美元。考查过去完成时的基本结构，故用had saved。

6.这个牙齿必须拔掉。考查一般将来时的被动语态的基本构成，故选be pulled。

7.省钱就很难了。考查固定结构too…to…表示太……而不能……。

8.取牙需要多少钱？考查固定短语pay sb for doing sth，固定短语take out表示取出的意思。

9.两个小时四十美元。考查名词复数的所有格形式，因minute的复数形式是以s结尾的故填写minutes’。

10.我拔牙的时候稍微慢一些，延长到半个小时，故填写slow。
