W: Hello.
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?
W: It’s a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, dining room and kitchen, and one bathroom. There’s also a place for a washer and dryer.
M: Okay, and how old is the apartment complex?
W: Well, let’s just say it has a lot of history. To be honest, my great grandfather built it during the 1960s, but it’s a very sturdy and sound structure.
M: Oh, and is the apartment furnished at all?
W: Yeah. The apartment is partially furnished with a refrigerator, a stove, and a dishwasher.
M: Okay. What’s the rent?
W: It’s $650 a month.
W: Wow. That is a little steep for me.
M: But you could always split the cost with a roommate.
M: Perhaps. 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, you lose your deposit.
M: Oh, and how much is the deposit?
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 roof.
M: Do I get my deposit back after I move out?
W: 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. Um... 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: Okay, and 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: Well, as long as it doesn’t escape, I guess that’s okay.
M: 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.
M: Okay. Thanks. Um... and where exactly is the apartment located?
W: It’s one block west of the waste water treatment plant. Call me again when you arrive.
M: Alright, Thank you. I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye.
W: Bye.

Questions 1-5 are based on Conversation One.
1. What kind of apartment does the man enquire about?
2. What should the man do if he rents the woman’s apartment?
3. What is the deposit for according to the woman?
4. In what condition will the man lose his deposit?

选项 A、The person who takes good care of the apartment.
B、The person who drops by and visits the apartment.
C、The person who promises to repair the damage.
D、The person who makes the renting decision first.

答案 D

解析 在对话的最后,男士表示希望明天去看一下这间公寓,房东表示允许,但同时她告诉男士说这间公寓先到先得,她不保证明天男士来访时这间公寓还在出租。由此可以推断,房东会把公寓租给第一个确定租房子的人,不作预留,因此D项为正确答案。
