问题     Where we choose to live can have a huge impact on our lives. Living in an unfriendly neighborhood, or one where residents move often, can make it harder to find child-care help or other support. On the other hand, settling in a peaceful rural hamlet(小村庄)may seem great— until you realize you can’t make a living【C1】______on the slow dial-up Internet access available there.

选项
答案 D
解析 空格位于make a living和on之间，从句法上判断所填词应是动词的分词形式，作状语。本句句意为“住在一个宁静的小村庄里看起来可能是一种不错的选择，但是你最终会意识到，你根本无法——那里蜗牛般的拨号上网速度长期生活下去”。由此判断空格处应表示“依靠，依赖”之意，因此应选D)counting。
