　　【小题1】C

　　【小题2】A

　　【小题3】A

　　【小题4】C

　　【小题5】D解析:本文是一篇记叙文，讲述的两位年轻建筑师在离城市中心较远的地方找到了一家工厂，并把它设计为自己的工作室，运用自己所学的知识，给工作室装修了一番。

　　【小题1】根据首句“Mostyoungarchitects----particularlythoseinbigcities----canonlydreamaboutworkinginabuildingoftheirown.”得知年轻的建筑师有自己的工作室只是梦想，不现实（unrealistic）。

　　【小题2】根据第二段的“ButthepricewasrightsoYocumboughtit.”得知，是因为那个价格便宜（bargain）。

　　【小题3】根据第二段的“Hespenteightmonthsofhisoff-hoursondemolitionpullingrubbishoutthroughtheroof”（把垃圾清出屋顶）得知：A正确；而由第三段的第一句判断出B错，由第二段的倒数第一二句判断出C错，由第三段的倒数第一句判断出D错。

　　【小题4】根据第四段的“YocumandBellwhohavejustcompletedanartgalleryforthecityfeelthattheexperiencefromthedecorationoftheirbuildingfocusingontheinsideratherthantheoutsidehasinfluencedtheirwork.”（从装饰他们的房子获得的经验影响了他们的工作）得知： C正确、B错误；而由第二段的第三句判断A错，而B选项文章没有提及，也不可推断出。

　　【小题5】根据第四段的“Ithasalsogiventhesearchitectsachancetoshowhowtheycanmakemoreoutofless.”得知：本文的主旨在于建造自己的工作室给这些年轻建筑师一个机会去展示他们怎样把少变得多，即有创造性的人可以很好的利用和享受他们所拥有的，故选D。而ABC是显然不符合文意的。记叙文是高考的必考点，也是阅读文章中比较容易的一篇文章，本文难度不大。
