【解析】

短文大意：本文是说明文，介绍了世界上不同的房子，包括公寓、联排别墅、农房和学生宿舍。

1.句意：通常有许多家庭住在同一栋公寓里。

different不同的；same相同的；tall高的；modern现代的。根据下文“People in a flat building share the stairs and lift to go up and down公寓里的人共用楼梯和电梯上下楼”，可知许多家庭住在同一栋公寓里，故选B。

2.句意：在联排别墅中，厨房、客厅和餐厅通常在一楼，卧室通常在二楼。

first第一；second第二；third第三；fourth第四。on the ground floor在一层，根据上文“A townhouse has two floors联排别墅有两层”，可知卧室在二层，也就是on the first floor（在二楼），注意在英式英语中，一楼是ground floor，二楼是first floor。故选A。

3.句意：有许多农民住在那里。

students学生；workers工人；doctors医生；farmers农民。根据上文“A farmhouse is a house on a farm. 农舍是农场上的房子”可知本段介绍农舍，是农民住的房子，故选D。

4.句意：田野离农舍不远，所以农民们总是步行去田野。

but但是，表转折；so所以，表结果（前因后果）；because因为，表原因（前果后因）；if如果，表条件。根据句意语境，可知本句是前因后果，故选B。

5.句意：在学校, 宿舍是一个大的卧室,每4至8个学生共用一个宿舍。

live居住；build建造；share分享；buy买。根据“every 4-8 students one dormitory”可知是四至八人共用，故选C。
