Building a house costs quite a lot of money. Suppose you plan to build a house. Your first step will be to find a right piece of land. Your choice will depend on many different things. You will probably try to find a sunny place, with pleasant surroundings near shops and bus stops, not too far from your friends and the place where you work.

Next you will find a good builder, and together with the builder you will work out a plan. The builder will draw the plan. It will show the number of rooms, their position and size, and other parts, which must be noticed, such as windows, doors, and electric outlets. The builder will work out how much money is needed to build your house. He will work out the cost of the wood, bricks, the glass, and everything else that must be used in building the house. Later on, when he starts to build, this estimate must be corrected and revised. His estimate is based on existing prices, but prices of such things may change, and many other things may happen between the time when he makes the estimate and the time when he builds the house.

When the builder gives his estimate, you may wish to change your plan. (You may also wish to change your builder, if his estimate is too high! ) You may find that the house you wanted at first costs too much, or that you can spend a little more and add something to your plan. The builder's estimate depends on the plan, but the final plan depends on the builder's estimate.

The phrase "draw a plan" in this passage means _______

A.making a picture of a building or a room
B.making a plan
C.working out a plan
D.pulling a picture out of a room

正确答案及解析

正确答案

解析

解答该小题的重点是要准确理解“draw a plan”这个短语中的关键词plan。plan在本短文中反复出现了八次，第一次出现以动词形式出现，其他七次都是名词。作名词用时其常见用法有二：计划，方案；平面图，纸张。plan在与draw连用时，就表明：画一张建筑物的平面图。B项和C项都是把plan理解为“计划”或“方案”了，而D项则理解成“把一张图画从屋里找出来”，这是无稽之谈。由此答案非A莫属。
