D解析本题考查辨析形容词的能力。从语义角度考虑，此题未有比较之意，故排除A，B项。cheap廉价的，便宜的，根据句意也可排除。short (of)--not having or providing what is needed; lacking.如：①We've only raised ￡2000 so far, we're still ￡500 short (of the amount we need).我们到目前为止才筹集到2000英镑，（离所需数目）还差500英镑。②I'm short of money this week; can you lend me some?我这星期手头不宽裕（缺钱），你能借给我点钱吗？
