参考答案
问题 1 答案解析：C
事实细节题。本题询问如果你想要买第一处房产，建议你要怎么做。文章第一段第二句针对首次购房者提出建议：你要用心好好计划，了解这个过程，以避免任何意想不到的问题。第四段最后一句指出，如果了解购买过程，在做决定时会很有用。故C项understand the buying process(了解购买过程)为正确答案。 倒数第二段提到，做决定时，通常要联系按揭顾问，看看自己能借多少钱。这只是了解金额，并非借钱，故A项“从银行借钱”不是文中的建议。B项“提前存钱”和D项“认识房屋中介”均没有在文中提到。
问题 2 答案解析：B
事实细节题。题目询问购买新房时，你应该考虑的第一件事是什么。文章针对初次购房者提了两个建议，第一个是想想自己的需求和欲望。题干中的the first thing对应原文第三段开头的First一词，B项用名词needs and wants同义替换了原文中的从句what you need and what you want，也表示“需求和欲望”，故为答案。 A项“花园的大小”和C项“你的工作和收入”都是说明首要考虑事情时提到的细节。与D项“环境”相关的是a large garden，但提到花园的目的是要说明欲望，故D项也不对。
问题 3 答案解析：D
事实细节题。问题询问联系按揭顾问的目的是什么。题干中的mortgage advisor在倒数第二段提到，原文说需要联系一个按揭顾问，了解你能借多少钱。D项的意思是“了解你可以借多少钱”，其中find out与原文see的意思一致，都指“了解，知道，明白”，故为答案。 A项“了解房子的价格是否合理”和B项“询问与购买相关的法律问题”未在原文出现。根据第四段第一句可知，购买过程是通过网络、图书馆、朋友和家人来了解的，而非按揭顾问，故C项“确保你了解购买过程”不对。
问题 4 答案解析：A
事实细节题。本题询问如果你是首次购房，你可能不知道的是什么。题目中的be aware of“(某人)意识到”对应最后一句中的be...clear to sb.“对某人是清楚的”。该句提到，买房子有很多花销(there are lots of costs)，首次购房者也许不能马上弄清楚这些。故A项“各种与买房相关的花费”是答案。 B项“你想购买的房子的历史”、C项“你可以搬入新家的时间”、D项“房屋所有者的名字”文中均未提及。
问题 5 答案解析：D
主旨大意题。本题询问这篇文章主要是给什么人写的。文章开头提到On deciding to buy your first home，由此可知you指的是首次购房的人。接着文章介绍了两个要考虑的事情，最后又再次提到first time buyers“首次购买者”。由此可知这篇文章主要是写给D项“首次购房者”。 A项“房子业主”是已经购买了房子的人，而本文中的you还没有购买，故不对。B项“按揭顾问”是文中提到的细节内容，不是建议的对象。C项“房地产公司”没有在文中提到。
