M: Hi, I’m calling about the ad for the apartment found in today’s newspaper.
W: Okay. What would you like to know?
M: First of all, how big is it? Oh, and... is the apartment furnished at all?
W: It’s a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, dinning room and kitchen, and one bathroom. There’s also a place for a washer and dryer. The apartment is partially furnished with a refrigerator, a stove, and my grandmother’s old dishwasher.
M: Your grandmother’s old dishwasher? Okay. What’s the rent? Does that include utilities?
W: It’s $950 a month. But you could always split the cost with a roommate. The rent includes gas and electricity, but not the phone bill.
M: Oh, yeah. Well, can I rent month-to-month, or do I have to sign a lease for a longer period of time?
W: We require a 6-month commitment for the apartment, and if you cancel the agreement anytime during that period, hey... you lose your deposit.
M: Oh, and how much is the deposit? Do I get my deposit back after I move out? That’s assuming that I even move in.
W: It’s $ 400, and, of course, this money is used to repair damage or general wear and tear on our apartment, like the leaks in the old roof from last year’s snow storm. Generally speaking, we return the deposit, minus a small fee for, you know, cleaning the apartment for the next tenant, but if you trash the place, then don’t expect to get anything back.
M: Okay. Oh, urn... how close is the apartment to the university campus?
W: It’s about eight blocks from campus, but you can catch a number of busses right out in front.
M: Oh, so, then, if there’s a busy road out front, is it noisy?
W: Well, there are always trade-offs: it’s a little noisy with the road outside and the airport behind you, but the place is really convenient because there’s a supermarket and shopping center right across the street. Just keep the windows closed and a pair of ear plugs handy, and you’ll be fine.
M: One last question. Are pets allowed?
W: Well, you can keep small pets like a hamster in a small cage, but we don’t allow larger animals like dogs, cats, or snakes. Things like that.
M: Well, I have a rat that I keep in a cage. Will that be okay?
W: Um, as long as it doesn’t escape, I guess that’s okay.
M: Uh... Is it possible for me to drop by and visit the apartment tomorrow morning?
W: Sure, but just remember we rent the apartment on a first-come, first-serve basis, so there’s no guarantee it’ll still be available then.
Questions:
22. Which statement is NOT true about the apartment for rent?
23. Under which circumstance could you lose your deposit according to the conversation?
24. How would you describe the location of the apartment?
25. What kind of pet is a tenant allowed to keep in the apartment?
选项
A、It includes a washer and dryer.
B、The apartment is partially furnished.
C、The rent is over $ 900 a month.
D、Gas and electricity are included in the rent.
答案
A
解析
细节题。房东说公寓里有放置washer and dryer的地方,后来又提到他祖母留下来的dishwasher,始终并没有明确说有dryer,所以It includes a washer and dryer是不符合事实的陈述。房间提供简单家具,租金包括煤气和电费都在对话中有明确说明;房东说房租为每月$950,所以房租价格高于900美元也是正确的陈述。因此答案是A。
