Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．B;3．A;4．C;5．D;
解析：

(1)	本小題檢測的是對整篇短文中心思想的理解能力．A項講的是“蓋一幢房子要花很多錢”，這是本文的第一句話，但它只講了上述三段的蓋房子要花很多錢這一項內容，所以其概括不準確．B項是說“預算是重要的”，同樣犯了以偏概全的毛�。瓺項講的是“依靠建筑工”，這與短文內容是相矛盾的，故此三者皆否定之．
(2)	短文首段的第三句話：“Your first step will be to find a right piece of land．”(你的第一步就是選好一塊合適的地)．此句正是該題答案的出處．
(3)	解答該小題的重點是要理解好“draw a plan”這個短語中的關鍵詞plan．plan在本短文中反復出現(xiàn)了八次，第一次出現(xiàn)以動詞形式出現(xiàn)，其他七次都是名詞．作名詞用時其常見用法有二：計劃、方案；平面圖，紙張．plan在與draw 連用時，就表明：畫一張建筑物的平面圖．B項和C項都是把plan理解為“計劃”或“方案”了，而D項則理解成“把一張圖畫從屋里找出來”，這是無稽之談．由此答案非A莫屬．
(4)	本題屬細節(jié)考查題．考查的是在蓋房的施工中，最初的預算必須更正與修改的原因．短文第二段的倒數(shù)一、二句就有相對應的部分；隨后，當他開始施工時，此預算必須更改與修正．他的預算的根據(jù)是當時價格，而建筑材料與其他東西的價格在制定預算和開始施工這一階段很可能會有變化．A項說的是"預算經(jīng)常被施工者算錯"，在短文中沒有依據(jù)；B項的“未來的房主認為預算太高他支付不起”在短文中也沒有依據(jù)，D項的“在開始時預算往往是錯的”與A項的錯誤如出一轍．
(5)	本小題考查的仍是對短文個別段落和中心意思的理解能力．短文第三段集中講的就是和建房方案之間的關系．A項只說出了建房方案對預算的依賴關系；B項只說出預算對建房方案的依賴關系，而忽略它們相互作用的一面，因此都是片面的．而C項說的是建房方案與預算毫不相干，這與短文交代的事實背道而馳，故予以排除． 　　全文共三段，第一段說的是蓋房要花很多錢，首先得確定好房子的位置：向陽，地理環(huán)境優(yōu)美，交通購物方便而且離自己的親朋和工作地點距離都近；第二段說的是選擇優(yōu)秀的建筑工人，設計方案，繪出草圖，做好預算以及如何處理施工時可能出現(xiàn)的變化與預算的關系；第三段講的是建筑工所作的預算和真正施工時所發(fā)生的變更及蓋房方案與預算之間的關系．雖然全文中沒有明確的主題句，但通過對上述三段文字的分析，不難看出它們講的都圍繞著一個主題：設計一幢房子．
