D．A pioneer. 分析：本题可依据上下文猜测词义。根据画线短语下文“Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 herself.”可知，因为泰瑞·博尔顿是一位DIY高手，所以她擅长搭架子和拼接家具，从不花钱找别人做她自己能做的工作。 画线短语所在句与下文信息为因果关系。故可推知“A specialist (一位专业人员)”与画线短语“a dab hand”的意思最接近。故选C。 [例2] 　(2021·新高考Ⅰ卷阅读C节选) When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife.
